Get Free Solution โCan't turn your head naturally โ every glance requires rotating your whole upper body
The tech-neck prison โ screens make it worse, but your job demands you stay at one
That stubborn bump at your neck base โ it's always tight, sometimes burning, always present
The back of your neck is governed by the Bladder and Small Intestine meridians โ both are "Taiyang" channels that form your body's outer defense. When cold wind invades (from air conditioning, open windows, or weather), it locks these channels like freezing a zipper. The muscles contract to protect the area, but this creates a vicious cycle: tight muscles compress the channels further, causing more stagnation, more pain, and more tightness. The "ๅฏ่ดตๅ " (prosperity bump) forms when chronic stagnation causes tissue to accumulate at DU14.
