Hair dryer against tense, aching neck

Today I had a tense neck just after sleeping, and since I did not have much time, I came up with a quick remedy, which I could try:

I took my big hair dryer and set it to medium heat, immediately holding it against my neck, where it hurt the most.

I moved the heat beam back and forth so I would not burn myself. In between, I switched the hair dryer even for a while on full time.

Well, I had a good feeling with it and the pain was actually less, I was also able to move my neck better.

It was not all over, but tonight I repeated this "heat treatment" and hope now that I am even better tomorrow.
