Strike, I am quite aware that my condition has limitations (and what those are), and I am also aware that I could hurt myself working out. I am not going to hold someone responsible for advice they give me, when it is my choice to follow it or not and I know my own limitations better than they ever could. I am just asking you if you know of any ways of strengthening the neck that do not involve excessive stress on the arms.
It is up to me to choose whether or not to do those exercises, and if I hurt myself it is my own fault. (ei, I am not gonna try to sue you) I just would like your advice as someone who knows about bodybuilding.
(as far as professionals, they advised me I should give up gaming, typing (fat chance considering I am a historian in training), any type of physical work with my right arm, and that I should give up martial arts all together, as any future tears could be permenant. I am choosing not to live my life that way. My therapist seemed very cautious as to what she told me, but I know my own body better than she does. With proper therapy (stretches, exercises with my bands, massaging, and icing), regular Taiji, and good judgement I have been able to use my right arm for competitive martial arts, ameture wrestling, work, typing, etc. ei, I actually have a life. I don't put much faith in professionals with this, because they told me that even with therapy I would probably never be able to do any of those things.)
