- Targeted Exercises for Lasting Results: His physical therapist taught him that lasting relief hinged on addressing the root causes and introduced a series of targeted exercises. These exercises were designed to help strengthen John’s neck and upper back muscles while correcting the imbalances contributing to his pain.
