My neck gets so tight from welding all day, what helps?
I've been doing auto body work for a while, and welding jobs always leave my neck feeling locked up. I mean, you're hunched over for hours trying to get those seams right, and it just builds up. Last month, I had to stop early because I couldn't look side to side without wincing, which messed up my schedule. Maybe it's just me, but I see other guys rubbing their necks in the shop too. I tried using a heating pad at home, but it only gives temporary relief. Does anyone have stretches or better ways to set up their workspace to avoid this? I'd really appreciate some practical tips from folks who've dealt with it.
