The key to solving neck stiffness is to have a special orthopedic pillow and massage can help aswell.
I suffered from major neck stiffness, I tried a few neck massages, they seemed to work but not all the time and they didn't last long.
I then talked to my friends and someone suggested I should buy a special orthopedic pillow, so I did. From that day on I never had a problem with my neck again.Health Question & Answer

Take a hot bath and and lay down in it so the back and sides of your neck get covered in the hot water. Or if you don't have a tub, get a medium size towel wet with hot water (hot as your hands can stand) squeeze out excess and wrap around your neck for awhile. You may need to reheat towel. Wet heat is the best kind of heat for healing.Health Question & Answer

Wet a hand towel and put in microwave for 1 minute. Roll it up in a bigger body towel and lay your neck on it. The moist heat will relax the muscles, and the neck roll is the natural position of the curve of your spine. Only lay like this for 10-15 min. @ a time. It disrupts the flow of you lymphatic system and you can catch a cold. Take care. Health Question & Answer

You should go to some Chinese herbal/medicine store and they have some patches that can ease stiff necks or relax muscles and all that kinda stuff. Don't worry, I had a stiff shoulder/neck thingy and I put one on that I bought and the next day it felt a whole lot better.Health Question & Answer

Get a neck brace, it will support your neck up and a whiplash. If you have to turn your neck, turn your whole upper body in a swing motion, starting from the shoulder and down, so as not to damage injured or damaged muscles.Health Question & Answer
