Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. I do not believe in any massage or manipulation of spine because it can have potential harmful effects, rather go for scientific isometric exercises for neck region which may be more beneficial without any risks if done properly. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.

Dear , I am Dr. Saseendar, specialist orthopaedic surgeon from chennai. Vigorous massage is not advisable in old age. The best treatment for him is physiotherapy. He needs to do specific strengthening exercises for his neck muscles. Please contact the nearest physiotherapist.
