Stiff Neck and Exercising

jenfran89

I woke up yesterday morning with a stiff neck, so I tried my best to rest it yesterday and not do anything too strenuous. It still hurts today, but my problem is I am doing a charity 10K run on Sunday, and wanted to get out and do final practise run today (no chance to do one Saturday). Would this be advisable, or will cause me more injury? Would I be better doing something low impact, like swimming, or just resting?

When I have a stiff neck I go and get a massage and the next day I'm fine. I guess it depends what caused it.
