neck tension on the right what to do

Hello everyone, I'm from Germany. I put it into google translate and I apologize in advance for any misunderstandings :)

It's about the fact that the right side of my neck is always tense. It got massively better, but that tenseness is always there. It comes when I'm really tense, a twitch to the right.

Up until now, I was always doing the straightening and was given muscle relaxants, but this only helps for a short time.

I'm wondering what should I do to get more progress?

Which strand is that which is always so tense in the photo?

Where should I stretch, which side should I strengthen?




Regards:)

@physiobob can you Help me?

Looks from your photo like you have a scoliosis or a shift of your spine to the right side lower down causing a correction higher up and another redirect at the neck. You should work with a therapist to sort of the spine from the pelvis up ( see if the same shift is there in sitting to see if the pelvis/hips are involved too). I suspect the neck issues are just a symptom of a problem that lies further down.

Thank you for your response:)

I had many tests. Mrt etc. all fine, no scoliosis. Also went to the chiropractor. stretch a lot. My head used to be very crooked. All of that has gotten better. But what I noticed was that I had had the flu for almost 2 weeks. Was in bed a lot, then it got worse. My physical therapist said just straighten the right side. Do you maybe know what else I should do? And how do I finally get the high muscle tone out?
