I want to know your opinion on chiropractors doing the twisting motion... I don't see how that's beneficial in ANY way, ESPECIALLY w/o an x-ray, CT or MRI.. they can usually do well with my back but I have to tell them to not touch my neck, repeatedly I might add..

[@lincolnyeti]

Hello! Thank you for your great videos on neck problems. I've a lot to say about joint pain in the neck! But my question is this. If we have joint pains in the neck due to muscle or posture problems, what is the best way to "warm up" the neck for sports activities which make neck problems more painful. Rather than just rolling your head around on the neck randomly, and if we feel it's not the time or place to go through a full set of stretches such as in the video - how can we get the neck, or neck muscles ready for sport? Surfing involves a lot of neck turning and strain which really makes pain problems worse. Is the best thing to run through the routine in the video, the isometric or pushing stretches? How would you or how do you prepare your neck for sport of any kind? Thank you so much.

[@lincolnyeti]

I have to add, I have a very old stretching routine I do at night to try and help with neck joint pain, I've never done pushing exercises, just tried it slightly- feels great, very very different! I really want to incorporate all your neck videos and do one longer routine. Really looking forward to doing that, thank you thank you thank you!

[@DrRowe]

@@lincolnyeti Isometrics work great as a warm-up before doing sports activities.

[@publicserviceannouncement4777]

Yes, I need to know if there's any way I can self-release the scoliosis I have. I have a hard time sitting or standing upright without pain and it affects my shoulder and hip (the way my body corrected.) When my chiropractor "fixed" it, I could lay on my back with comfort and I didn't realize my back was the reason I hated sleeping on my back if that makes any sense. I feel completely powerless and no position I get in is comfortable. I need relief. Please help.

[@ykyjohn]

I have constant headaches which the cause is known to be from neck muscles. Though I alone got some of the exercises right through long experience trying to pin point the right spots and movements for stretching it efficiently, having this video not only confirmed the right stuff but added a little bit of finesse that I was lacking. Also learned more about what exercise really do, where , how and when should be used. It was very revealing as always. Thank you Dr. Rowen!

[@moviefanatic56]

I woke up with really bad neck pain this morning. I'm talking, I couldn't turn my head from side to side at all. I was doing some research online when I came across your videos. I've been doing the stretches every now and then all day, but I haven't gotten much relief at all. I see so many comments about how these stretches helped people get relief right away, so I'm going to keep doing them and hopefully they will eventually help. This is the worst neck pain I've ever had.

[@sathisharu6244]

Dr. Rowe, thanks heaps for posting this video, my neck feels great. Keep up the good work, you are amazing!

[@DrRowe]

[@trebmaster]

The neck twisting also causes *ligamentous* damage which can lead to an unstable neck which will manifest in lots of shoulder spasms, pain, and if severe enough like what happened to me, Meniere's Disease symptoms. It took several thousand dollars with prolotherapy treatment injections to fix it.

[@MG63]

Thank you very much for you super timely upload! I'm not sure what's causing the soreness at the upper back of my neck, I'm guessing either due to falling flat on my chin a week ago or due to pillow, whilst it's improving on its on over time but your methods are even better!

Thank you for these exercises. I had nerve impingement in both traps and some "irritation" to my Vagus nerve. Do you have a video that focuses on the vagus nerve? Where how to relieve it or how to strengthen the area. It has lead to panic attacks and having to take Xanax. Would like to be able to regain my strengthen so I can live my life again. I can not lift my daughter or basically do any physical work. Neurologist basically said go to PT. There is no surgery to fix it. Thank you!

[@twobluestripes]

I wish there was an easy way to know exactly which of these I need the most, so I could focus on getting many reps done of just one exercise each day in spare moments, before adding additional ones. After years of chronic tension headaches and upper body tension, where nothing ever seems to help, and with a busy life and time management problems from other conditions (like adhd and a sleep disorder), it is very difficult to find time, energy, and presence of mind to build a strengthening routine. I tend to try stretches like this mostly while I’m already having bad pain.

Tell me about sleeping position. I seem to always hurting my body in some parts or the other because of my bad sleeping position. Even after doing all the exercises you taught, I woke up with a bad stiff neck. Though certainly, it was good when I tried them.

i have some chronic neck pain which come back time to time, at which i cant turn my neck backwards. Should i do any of these exercise if i feel pain doing it?

Hi thanks for all your videos. I’m watching a lot of them. Would you be able to cover one for ulnar nerve/neck please? I have been suffering for a long time due to my job working in architecture. (Lots of clicking and using mouse). Now I am struggling to go through daily life due to inflammation, burning, swelling. Reddening. Electric shocks etc along the entire right arm and hand as soon as I touch the mouse. I live in the uk and the NHS still doesn’t know where the issue is from. Still figuring out. Orthopaedics found no issue but recognised that there’s definitely an issue guessing it’s more neurological. (I was diagnosed with a neck disk on the right side ) Please help!! Thanks again
