I don't think I have ever met a human being who has not suffered from neck and shoulder tension and pain!
But this is really not a necessary part of life.
As you may well know, neck and shoulder tension can cause headaches, upper back pain, and poor posture. It can stop you from exercising and having fun.
Here is a 30 minute Pilates mat series that you can do 2-4 times per week (or even every day if you feel up to it) and it will relieve your neck pain, strengthen your core, and help you enjoy your life.

"For a time-constrained, overweight, and overstressed wife and mother who works 60 plus hours a week, Lynda's Pilates recording is a complete Godsend! Her sing-song voice guides me through simple, yet incredibly effective exercises that seem to literally be pulling the tension from my shoulders as I do them. I had pain in places I did not even realize as I began, but these exercises, with Lynda's gentle guidance, brought me to a place of total relaxation and rejuvenation. My neck and shoulders both thank you Lynda, for helping me to take giant steps toward a stronger sense of total well being."

"Lynda Lippin's Neck Pain Pilates mp3 leads you very clearly through key fundamental exercises and has relieved several of my clients' recurring neck and shoulder pain. I have even used it myself, since I'm a new mom. I spent more than a year bent forward watching my daughter breastfeed. My neck was always in pain--even after I stopped breastfeeding. I'm a pilates instructor and her audio guide put me through my paces. Within a few days of doing the fundamental exercises, my neck pain is gone. I highly recommend getting this audio guide - it works, even if you have prior experience with pilates. Lynda has provides the listener with the exact cues that work. She is easy to understand and her voice even has the added benefit of relaxing you as your doing the routine. I highly recommend the audio guide but also the step-by-step ebook too!"

"I recently had the opportunity to try Lynda's Pilates program for neck and shoulders, and I was little skeptical. As a PGA Golf Professional, instructor, and competitive player, I figured that my quick pre-round stretches and practice swings were getting me ready to play. I wasn't real sure what "Pilates" was, and what it had to do with my golf game.
2 minutes into the program, I knew that I had found something great. As I listened to Lynda's simple instructions, I worked my way through the movements. I found a few sore spots, and a couple tight areas, but they quickly melted away as I combined the movements, relaxation, and breathing. My entire upper body had a feeling of being released and relaxed into a light and energized state.
After the program ended, (which seemed really fast!) I grabbed a club and began making some swings. I felt an unusual amount of freedom in my swing, and it felt as though the club was actually swinging faster without much effort. Some of the restrictions I have typically felt in my swing had disappeared.
Can't wait to share this with my golf students..."

Marguerite Ogle of About.com:
"This sequence moves through gentle strength and range of motion exercises. These are key to developing the inner connections your body needs in order to support the head and neck in a pain free way. It is an upper body focused series but of course, we are doing Pilates so Lippin starts with breathing, the pelvic floor, and the abdominals.
Once the core is engaged the sequence moves on teaching the body how to support the head, arms and shoulders to move freely. The sequence works the front and back of the body and moves from lying down to mid-level and on to standing. You will need to be able to accomplish those kinds of level changes to do the podcast.
The bottom line is that this is the kind of detailed work that those of us who struggle with back and neck pain have to do. The exercises Lippin includes in these podcasts are foundational moves that will, over time, allow over-used muscles to find their place, strengthen support muscles, and expand ones range of motion."

Kerry Ann Frey of YesPilates.com:
"The MP3 downloads for neck and back pain are safe and manage to hit all the goodies of articulation, neutral spine, core strength and stability gently. Lippin knows her stuff as she guides the listener through a workout designed to strengthen and release the portions of the body that people with those issues require. Her twenty plus years of experience shines in the soft, well-paced cuing she uses as she encourages the listener to make a mind/body connection. She gives notations as to what the listener may be feeling at a particular moment. Lippin even anticipates questions a Pilates newbie may have as she draws attention to certain ways of working from the pelvic floor on up, even describing how to work a Kegel. The workouts can, as Lippin endorses, be used daily."
You can spend thousands of dollars traveling to the Turks and Caicos Islands to see me at Parrot Cay, or you download this clear and easy to follow Pilates audio for only $7.77 (that's less than 1/10th of a rehab private lesson with me in the studio).
“Neck Pain Pilates” is a slow and easy stretch and release of neck, shoulder and upper back muscles that is designed with your neck pain in mind. Lippin talks you through each exercise thoroughly and explains in great detail how to improve your posture, breathing and relax those tense muscles. If you have one of those “pains in the neck”, you'll love this audio download!

"The relief I have felt with my neck and shoulder stiffness, lack of mobility and pain is hard to measure in words. Since this is my biggest source of discomfort I have concentrated more on this area of my body than the lower back. It is amazing how the simple movements that Lynda incorporates in her programs and the short duration of the exercises (approximately 30 minutes) can deliver such profound relief and even work up a sweat. I found the physical benefits transferred to my golf game as I was able to swing more smoothly and with some additional rotation. My best rounds were towards the end of the season in large part, I feel, due to the Pilates programs I was using."
