My neck (especially my trapezius) doesn't hurt anymore as it used to but it's still tight and gets spasms sometimes. I wonder if it's ok to exercise it even if it's having episodes? Thanks

Thanks guys! That's what I'm trying to do, practicing some stretches to improve my well-being but also keeping in mind the ways in battling TMS. I don't think I'm capable of strenuous exercises just yet but I'm kinda of preparing myself by doing this. I know it helps but I don't rely solely to...
