Bioenergetic Exercises for Neck and Shoulder Pain - Qigong for Neck and Shoulder Pain

This gentle Qigong exercise routine develops flexibility, mobility, and relaxation throughout the upper body, including the wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and upper back.
While this program focuses specifically on relieving stiffness in the upper body, you may also notice psychological benefits such as lowered stress, more focus, better energy levels, and more positive emotions. As stress levels go down, the immune system, digestion, and detox systems of the body work more efficiently, leading to full body healing.
Qigong treats the whole person - body, mind, and energy - and so yields a variety of benefits even as it treats a specific ailment. This meditative movement practice can also be good for headaches and insomnia.

Nick. I want you to know that I have been experiencing chronic pain in back and shoulder. I started doing your exercisers and in just 2 days I FEEL GREAT. I can NOT believe it, I feel this sense of wellbeing. I can not believe these silly movements are so beneficial. THANK YOU please don't stop doing this videos.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you, I’m so glad to hear this! 😊

[@ashimaearthsky]

I never would have tried Qi Gong, but I stumbled across a video for bioenergetics and then found your bioenergetics. I have had hip problems for years like 30+. Shoulder problems too. I walked no mater what but it finally got so bad I couldn't walk. I didn't want to my hips hurt so bad. A couple days doing this routine and I'm walking again (paths in my yard with my dogs) my hips are still off kilter but I can and want to walk again. Last couple of days I was digging up weeds in my fields. First day wasn't so great but today no problem. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and helping others. Blessings.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Amazing! So glad it helped 😄

[@jkhouston1]

Finally! Someone who does mirroring. It’s so confusing when someone faces you and uses their right hand or left hand. I have given up those videos.

[@evidhazelbower1527]

Well Nick, it's been almost 4 years ! I knew I'd struck gold when I found you. Your teaching skills have always been excellent, your knowledge continues to impress and your kindness and generosity just shine through . It's a pleasure and an honour to be part of your QiFamily. Thank you Thank you Thank you ! !

[@evidhazelbower1527]

Thanks to the synchronicity of the universe, or the whim of KZbin, I found this video about 3 months ago. I have been benefiting from your generosity ever since. I really like your style of teaching-- gentle knowledge that has been hard-won, inclusion of various levels of fitness and experience, clear instructions, alternative positions, excellent visual and audio presentation, and humour. You are making a difference. Keep on. Thank you so very much.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Wow, thanks so much for the encouragement! Helps me stay motivated :) I'm glad to hear it is helping!

[@kevind872]

Your lessons are great, I’ve been doing your videos regularly for about a year now and I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for them. Thank you

[@FiZ]

As a guy that's practically 40% shoulders, this may be my favorite practice yet!

[@conniegullman6424]

Thank you so much, Nick, for putting these videos on KZbin. I discovered them about three months ago and now I'm addicted. I look forward everyday to doing my Qi Gong. I have done yoga for years but I find the Qi Gong more meditative and calming, which we really need in the world today. The locations are just beautiful too. I wish you much success in the path you have chosen and thank you for sharing that path with us.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you so much!😊

[@juliejenn5512]

Thank you so much Nick. i have had many teachers of Qi Gong in my 89 years and i am really appreciating you and your practices ..i am still learning ...Blessings to you

[@TheNickLoffree]

Wow, that means a lot! Thank you so much Julie.

[@marciascheurman1120]

We've been following numerous guides with qigong for years now. This is as good as it gets. Too many reasons to explain why. We hope to visit you in person one day.

[@annachomiak7514]

He is the best, I have been doing his different videos and love it. I really feel the difference if I don't do it for a few days 💝 Thank you Nick. 🌞

You really are the best Nick - the go to for injuries and to care Thank you

[@QiVida]

What are you? Some kind of super genius?? Human? My neck and shoulders feel like they've been liquified. Literal candle sticks melted, strained, relieved of impurities, and slowly solidified and massaged back into my broken torso. Also, great voice and face. Thanks for your diligence in study, practice, and guidance. Big sloppy gratitude coming your way in the shape of two Sam lips..yeah, that's a kiss on ya my friend. Big Kiss

[@naomilim2378]

[@circleboxart]

Hey Nick, my shoulder has been pretty painful for atleast a year. Qi Gong really helped me release the tensions and in particular my shoulder has been in pretty good shape, I can paint again! Lifting groceries has been a breeze lately so am grateful 🙏 I have been doing this particular exercise almost daily for a few months. I have also recommended to friends and strangers who happen to have shoulder injuries or other injuries on your channel. Have a great a day and keep up the wonderful sharing of wellbeing around the world. Best, Kathlyn

[@TheNickLoffree]

Wow, that's all fantastic Kathlyn! Thanks for sharing, and I'm so glad you can paint again!

[@circleboxart]

Thank you for the NICE video

[@yogawithnicolespirit]

Thanks Nick! Excellent session as usual and such a beautiful setting, looks like Ontario near where we're from. I'm dedicating this practice to my friends son who is 18 and having terrible shoulder problems. I will do it in hopes he will too as I remember you sharing how bad your shoulder issues were. Take great care everyone and have a beautiful day.

[@rk27000]

Had a shoulder problem for months. This was exactly what I needed, thank you.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Great to hear! Always amazed how well this stuff works.

[@sabrinashea198]

Wonderfully, relaxed and dreamy. Thank you, Nick 😘

[@lizparenzan4761]

I just found this exercise session and I felt great! Feeling an Energy release and a buzz that is similar to a 90 min session with hot yoga, but so targeted to where I tend to accumulate tension: neck, and upper back behind shoulder blades. Thank you!!!!

[@abdulrahmanothman6054]

I am from Malaysia. I like so much your Bioenergetic. I am applying in for my health routine. Thanks.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you!😊

[@marimargomez2370]

Thank you Nick, I feel so much better after this practice. I've been waking up with lots of tingling pain and loss of feeling in my right hand which I suspect comes from my neck and now I feel great. I am extremely grateful.

[@chellep7463]

Omg. Was feeling a lot of tension across my neck and shoulders after a particularly hard HIIT session. This has totally softened the area. I'm new to Qigong but love the feeling afterwarss

[@TheNickLoffree]

Wonderful!

[@DeeH1107]

I had this in my Watch Later for a long time. Since suffering terribly from shoulder, arm and neck pain recently, I found Nick's session and want to say how much better I feel for doing it. I love Qi Gong for its meditative qualities, deep breathing and relaxation. I shall continue in the hope that all pain will eventually leave my body; I have stopped smoking after 40-odd years so I wasn't expecting to get away with anything. Thank you Nick, good blessings to you.

[@karindetrick1303]

Thank you for another wonderful practice in such a gorgeous setting! 🖖☮️🙏

I was looking for some qigong I could do just for my shoulders and upper back. I worked rather intensively clearing weeds and whatnot in the garden for three days and ended up straining the muscle in the back of my left shoulder. The pain was so bad last night that it woke me up. I seem better today. I wanted to see if some active recovery would help. I think it did. Thanks for maintaining a stock of qigong practices on KZbin
