Introduction
As a flight surgeon and physical therapist, respectively, with a fleet-replacement squadron (FRS), we know neck injuries are a common occurrence among aircrew. When questioning instructor and student pilots, a majority complained of neck pain at some point during their flying careers. The causes of their complaints included high G forces, inadequate stretching, weak neck muscles, and a failure to preposition the head before hard turns. Given the impact this problem has on aircrew, we want to share some information and educate the aviation community.
