First of all use Icepack for 10-15 min (do not rub )
Then after that do neck movements( flexion- Extension, side to side flexion and neck rotation) (slow 12-15 reps)
After that lying in prone position do horizontal Shoulder abduction (left arm). For 10-12 reps
And apply same after 2-3 hrs
Do movements 2-3 time a day.
Next Steps
Use ice pack 10-15 min and repeat it 4-5 time a day.
