Also might be that I sleep weird? Not like it's from a wrestling accident or anything like that...

Anyways, does anyone have any advice, exercises, physio recommendations, or anything at all that could help me make this better? I started going to physio about a year ago every once in a while, and while it's definitely gotten better, there are days where it still hurts quite a bit, and I am way too young to be having neck/back problems and want to get rid of them asap. Thanks.
I had huge neck and back pains (mostly back) the whole last year. It was hard for me to do anything and especially sitting in a fixed position reading something for hours. Really affected my grades. That's where I learned to stretch and it really really helped. My favorites are lying on my back and arching my stomach to the sky. The other is lying head to the floor and raise your hands and legs up to the sky. It's pretty difficult but it's ridiculously awesome.

Look up a few on google, but stretching is probably the most effective. I tried icing and heating before but didn't find it too effective.
