I received an Instagram question asking about how to decrease neck tightness after BJJ training.

This is a common issue as the neck is a constant area used for control as well as submissions. The neck muscles are very important in protecting you from chokes as well as for positioning among many other things.

In grappling, we tend to overuse some of the muscles surrounding the neck and as a result, tightness, increased tension, and pain can ensue.

It is vital to keep these muscles from getting too tight and sore for proper neck function but also for mobility and pain reduction.

Here are my key tips and exercises that I focus on to help with this process.

Also something that is very important to injury reduction of the neck is neck strengthening! The Iron Neck is one of the best pieces of equipment that I have found to help with neck strength, mobility, and decreased risk of neck injury!

I have been using the Iron-Neck Pro for around two months.

I used the device about twice per week to incorporate specific neck strengthening using the Iron Neck Pro.

Giving myself some time to really put the piece of equipment to use gave me a solid perspective on the ins and outs and whether it was something I thought was beneficial for me and whether it can be useful for others.

Stiffness and tightness in the mid back (Thoracic spine) is a common issue due to the positions of Jiu-Jitsu as well as every day life that includes extensive sitting among other activities that forces our spine to round.

This can lead to a rounded posture, decreased mobility, and general stiffness in the mid back which can impact neck, shoulder, and low back function.

In this quick series, I show you exercises that I focused on after I experienced tightness in the mid back after BJJ class.

In this video, I show my first use of The Iron-Neck Pro.

The set up was super quick and easy but can take a bit of adjustment to get the proper fit.

It was a unique way to strengthen the neck, unlike anything I had done before. The resistance was consistent and comfortable and I did not feel any discomfort in the neck when using the device.

I felt a constant tension on the neck muscles and I could feel the muscle sin the neck and even my trunk/core working to stabilize my body.

I have some upcoming videos that show how this device can be applied to BJJ and specifically used in BJJ-specific positions.

I am really happy with The Iron-Neck Pro so far and if you’re interested in picking one up for yourself, follow the link: https://bit.ly/3LhMTIU to get 10% off your total purchase!

The traditional trigger point release technique with applying pressure with a Lacrosse ball or a mobility ball is useful and beneficial.

But in this video I demonstrate a variation that I feel adds a compenent that is even more effective.

The “pin and stretch” technique does a really great job at pinning the muscle and elongating it with movement. You “tack” the tissue down and then increase the stretch through movement.

This has been a go-to of mine with various tender or restricted muscle groups. Its quick and useful! Give it a try!

*** I have just released my new warm-up that was created specifically for grapplers!

The warm-up includes dynamic movements, stretches, range of motion exercises, muscle activation exercises, and a bunch more content that I have used myself and with my training partners to allow for an effective and useful warm-up to keep you healthy and training.

What is The Neck Hammock? Does it work? Can you use if for recovery and pain relief for BJJ or other sports?

The Neck Hammock is a device that provides decompression on the neck (cervical spine) to take pressure off of the vertebrae, discs, and nerves.

In this video I give The Neck Hammock a try, provide the pros, cons, and whether I would recommend the product.

Decompression or traction therapy is a treatment that is used to alleviate tension on the nerves, reduce pain, and decrease tight muscles in the neck which for BJJ practitioners are common occurrences due to our forward head and rounded shoulders “jiu-jitsu posture” as well as constantly getting our necks cranked on by chokes and submissions.
