Why Ctrl+Neck Works
Most neck pain apps give you a random list of stretches. Ctrl+Neck gives you a phased recovery plan that adapts as you progress. Start with gentle relief exercises when pain is fresh, then gradually build the strength and habits that fix the problem for good. The structured approach means you always know what to do next.

Privacy First
