Cervical stenosis, or spinal stenosis of the neck, is a common cause of neck pain. Basically it's a narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck area or upper part of the spine.
Cervical stenosis puts pressure on the spinal cord or the nerves in the neck causing neck pain. The first set of exercises for cervical stenosis will combine isometrics with active range of motion (AROM).
Isometric exercises are a great way to activate the muscles without movement. This will also help with relaxing the muscles to get more movement, so adding the AROM afterwards really helps gain motion.
