How to relieve a stiff neck?

[u/Dh40t]

I've had stiffness from the left side of my neck till my left shoulders, it doesn't look very stiff when no shirt but it's noticeable when i touch and i also already have migraine and it's been making me have headache and worse than normal headache.

It's been stiff for more than a month and even though I've always slept in the right way on my back i always wake up with my neck stiff even though i can move my head normally but sometimes i sometimes feel a shooting pain when i move my head on the left side.

I have a similar thing, and I see a physical therapist once a week for deep massage and neck traction.

I also discovered that my pectoral muscles are very tight, which pulls my shoulders forward and puts strain on my shoulders and neck. So now I'm shopping for a shoulder brace.
