I have seen lots of videos that claim to be able to treat nerd neck, but some of them are conflicting. Example: some say "don't do chin tucks", some say the opposite. I am suspicious of grifters and would like to find trustworthy advice.
Has anyone here successfully treated nerd neck, and if yes, how did you do it and what where the improvements that you noticed? I am envisioning some sort of "program" that I need to follow, but I have no idea if I can do this by myself, or if I actually need to go to a physiotherapist.
In short: there is a ton of advice out there, but I trust the HN crowd more and would be very happy to hear some anecdotes. Thank you!

1. You need both stretches and muscle strengthening exercises.
2. Ergonomics while working matter, things like putting your monitor higher will help a lot compared to hunching over a laptop.
3. Consult a physiotherapist. If money is tight then just do a single visit and ask him/her to diagnose and then give you some tailored exercises. You can then do those and might not have to go back.
