I seem to be having tightness in my sternocleidomastoids (had to look up the anatomy). My head is on swivel all day at work. How can I treat this front region of the neck?

[@tracyd1233]

[@JoOstgarden]

Scalenes! Chronically in pain after shoulder surgery. I suspect it is the position I am forced to sleep in because my arm is still in pain from bicep tenodesis.

[@dthompson9568]

Thank you I am going to try it

[@mrmrabcabc123]

Thank you

[@shirleyjust3305]

I am a 80yr old woman who has not been out of pain in my right arm for 40yrs. Have seen many chiropractor's in my life time and they all told me it was due to the top vertebra being crocked. I stubbled upon your video on You Tube and decided to try this stretch It was almost immediate in relief, in 3 days I feel like I am 40yr again. God bless you for your generosity.

[@DrRowe]

Wow, so glad you found this video and are getting a lot of relief!

[@cattycorner8]

That is what I found! the pain down my right arm and even into my hand has abated.

[@blazejon]

I f*cking love KZbin. Over the last 6 months this has helped so much. I'm now 100% pain free for the first time in forever.

[@DrRowe]

put that ball into a sock, if you don't like chasing ball all around and buy book " healing through Trigger Point Therapy" by Devin J. Starlanyl znd John Sharkey. bought this book more than once, because people borrowing it are reluctant to bring it back.

I’m 42 and always had a tight right shoulder (exactly this muscle) . Like many others in the comments, I am a regular at chiropractors, massage therapies etc. Have been following your videos for a while and cannot believe the immediate relief the last exercise gave me. You are incredible.

[@LeFinesseGod]

I've always had terrible pain and stiffness in this area on my left side side since I was 18, I'm 35 now. I've been to so many chiropractors over the years and without any significant relief. Immediately felt so much pain go away after doing this. Thank you so much!!

[@DrRowe]

That’s great to hear!

[@katherinejoseph1416]

Me too

[@R67K]

Yeah me too. Seems to be a common issue when you do a lot of keyboard and mouse work for me. But i found out that my left chest muscle and my shoulde were completly stiff and rotated into the chest. Even if i did streches and sports. Only really hard preassure with the ball and excercises to strenghten it help. Still working on it. But in combination with the hip streches, it prevents me from feeling like someone that is disabled. Good luck!

Was it ever to a point it was giving you tension headaches and migraines?

[@yellowbird5503]

Do your headache improve?

[@13chase2]

@ yes I stretched out my shoulders and my neck which reduced my headaches by 50%+. I started working out my back and surprisingly deadlifts and face pulls helped the most. Now I rarely get headaches due to nerves in my neck

@@VelvetyMoon Thank you for asking! I'm doing much better! While doing a lot of the methods that are suggested in these videos and working on my posture I have made great progress. My job consists of sitting at a desk so the discipline of telling myself "Hey! Get up, stretch, move around a bit in between tickets" that is the ultimate challenge. My body does not ache as much now. I hope everyone is able to find some joy and peace with these videos.

[@niclastimmerby6946]

Dear Dr. Rowe, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude from Sweden. I have been suffering from severe neck pain ever since I experienced a herniated disc over five years ago. Your exercises, especially those in this video, have helped me tremendously in managing my pain and allowing me to focus on my daily activities (and even sleep through the night) without being completely consumed by discomfort. Thank you once again for your immense generosity! Warm regards, Niclas (51 years old)

[@Nightcrawler333]

Dr. Rowe, you are not a doctor. You're a Magician. Your videos always give me instant relief for weeks-long or months-long pain I have had. It is too hard to believe that this works, but it does. It's just magic! Thank you for your service to humanity. You have made the lives of many people better. I can't thank you enough.

I have come across this video by accident..and MY GOD how is it I couldn't find this in the past.....??? I have extreme neck pain for the last two years...after MRI, chiropractor, CT, and physical therapy nothing worked. stopped working out, got fat and learned to live with the pain. + a lot of money for doctors and clinics. THIS stretch just opened my range of motion in my neck by just 30 sec each side!!!!! I don't know you, but thank you good sir. I'll come back here after 2-3 weeks of doing this daily and let you know. Again, this pain relief is UNREEL. Awesome.

I was in so much pain last night that it was hard to relax in bed. I was gonna see if my chiropractor could squeeze me in today but I just got so much relief from this video! Thank God I found this channel. I tell everyone I know about it when they complain of pain. I love how Dr.Rowe recommends exercise my chiropractor and my orthopedic doctor did not send me home with maintenance work post-op or treatment so it is always wonderful to find a doctor who is willing to be a doctor and wants to fix your problems. No offense to my physicians just stating facts. Again I say this thank you Dr. Rowe not all heroes wear capes. Some wear scrubs!

[@Khousemama]

Thank u . I've been dealing with pain for 3 years and have never felt instant relief or any relief like this from these suggestions. Such a blessing!! Thank u

[@baileygatton832]

Last year I started experiencing intense neck, shoulder and arm pain all on my right side. I stumbled upon this channel while taking a break off work and school. I tried different exercises and stretches but it was hard to pinpoint the pain because it felt as if it radiated across the entire right side of my body. I'm now a lot more active than before and a lot of my pain has subsided, except for the right side of my neck and the top of my shoulder reaching down to my rhomboid. When I lift in the gym my shoulder pops constantly and I'm worried that if I continue I could seriously hurt myself. I'm going to take a break from any heavy lifting and focus on these exercises and stretches for the month in hopes that I start to feel like myself again. This channel is amazing and should not be taken for granted. My suggestion for those who are in a similar boat as me is to be consistent in the exercises and stretches you've found helpful. It takes time, proper nutrition and technique to build up strength in your muscles and joints. If an exercise or stretch doesn't "FEEL" good, as in you feel your muscles activating while doing them relatively pain free than you may want to rethink your approach or visit your care provider and have them help you get on a PT plan that suits your needs. Listen to your body

I just tried the first excercise plus the one with the tenis ball ONCE and now I can move my head. I know probably doing an exercise once won't provide a long-lasting cure, but it's an excellent start. Thanks for sharing this with the world, you are doing a great job!

Doing neck decompression while doing these stretches had a neck pop that shot down the spine , across the shoulder to my elbow. Then passed out. 45 minutes later neck and shoulder grinding gone while feeling Life and blood flowing in. Why don't they teach stretching in grade school ??

Oh wow. This helped so much. Been dealing with monthly migraines shooting up from this area for the last 20 years; a result of a car accident where I was hit from behind while my head was turned to the side that has damage. Thank you, thank you.

Glad the exercises helped you, and thanks for watching!

I’ve been having right upper back pain for weeks and weeks now - it wakes me up at night! The armpit sniffer and the Y-shaped strengthening exercise seem to really help :) thank you so much!!

You’re a genius with these videos- one of the very best of the physical therapist YT creators! Instant relief thank you so much! 😊

[@DrRowe]

Thank you and great to hear you're getting relief!

[@adriennebeecker5000]

This is an excellent video because you gave me exercises that I need. I have an old injury in my upper Trapezius and at the top of my shoulder blade from a car accident. I also have a knot in my neck. I will do the strengthening exercises too. Consistency will be important. Thank you.

[@DrRowe]

Definitely focus on the strengthening exercises, and please give us an update in a couple of weeks.

[@ramonaforman2927]

Been dealing with this pain for weeks. Did the stretches and exercises and felt so much better. Thank you 😊

[@ok_listen]

Ooh I needed this! I have this pain since 9 years..

[@DrRowe]

Glad you found the video, and let us know how the exercises work for you!

[@amyh9949]

You just helped me tremendously…dealing with this localized pain for close to 20 years and these will help so much when I’m flaring

[@johnschettini4176]

Awesome I’ve been feeling pain there for years. It usually seems to happen when I get stressed out mentally. This video was immediately helpful , thanks so much!

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for watching!

This was an excellent video! I think when people are told to do exercise for back pain and then given a sheet with basic moves and instructions it isn’t enough. This is very similar to yoga and ballet stretches. The position of the hands and face matter and make all the difference! I so appreciate your content!

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for watching!

I’m a truck driver and it’s the most pain I feel on my right side Thank you so very much

[@DrRowe]

Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.

I was unable to sleep all night due to this pain. Tried a relief spray during the night and icing first thing in the morning; neither worked. Found your video and just following along without even the reps I found instant relief to a great extent. Will continue for 2-3 days. Thank you so much for your generous work and sharing it with the world. Writing from Bombay, India. Going to share with friends and family as this is a common sprain, especially for people who sit a lot whether driving or desk jobs. Best wishes to you and your team❤

[@marysharp9635]

Thank you Dr Michael…I appreciate being able to practice these exercises to my upper back and lower neck…I enjoy the stretches and strengthening sessions.😊

[@DrRowe]

Glad the exercises are helping you!

[@jenniferjean6575]

I freaking love you !! I can def feel myself getting more pain relief then all the injections and cervicam fusion surgeries. These doctors are messing me up.

[@andrewholmes210]

Thanks for the excellent description and demonstration of these simple but effective exercises, love your work!

[@katgilbert9732]

You are a wonderful human being! Thank you for helping the people like myself who have pain but not enough money to seek professional assistance. You are a gem. Thank you ❤
