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!
