There are lots of ways to relieve stress. First off, figure out why you are stressed, then you can determine if you can avoid the stressful situation or alter it in some way. If your neck and back are sore get a massage, take a hot shower or bath, use a heating pad. Exercising is a great stress reliever, even if it's as simple as walking. If you don't like to exercise, some people find other things such as reading or listening to music, or some hobby to be relaxing and to releive stress. hope this helps some!

there are a variety of things that you can do to help yourself relax a lot of it just depends on what you like doing
writing can help (either journaling or creative writing)
physical activity (working up a good sweat and really pushing yourself through physical exercise)
take a hot shower
read a good book
find a movie/tv show that you like and just chill out on the couch/recliner
at least these are the things that help me relax when i'm stressing out because these are things i enjoy doing (albeit at the moment there are some that i'm not able to do which is causing stress so yeah good luck)

Ah, I've read every book the library had on stress. Get someone to give you a massage, in that area. And do about 2 - 3 hours running per week. And stop working so hard- Solomon, 'don't wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.... Reading's good too, any thing that feels relaxing.

I remember seeing a show on tv that suggested that people that feel this kind of pain may simply be tensing up on a regular basis without even being aware their doing it. Might be worth thinking about that from time to time just in case it's something that simple. Otherwise, might i suggest using some yoga stretches to make your muscles more elastic around that area

Maybe your tense due to stress. I get back ache and my neck hurts whenever I'm stressed. You need to find a stress buster.

1) Try a heating pad, heating neck rest/pillow, or electric blanket.
2) Try a hot shower.
3) Try to take regular breaks if you are working.

You may want to listen to a music of your choice and take a nice long hot bath.
