The foam roller is still working great and I also recommend using using a Thermarest foam sleeping pad used in camping which can be rolled to different diameters + the addition of canned soup . Good to finally see the "heat wave" in Michigan and All the best Dr. Rowe . Thermarest sleeping pad www.amazon.com/Therm-Rest-RidgeRest-Classic-Sleeping/dp/B00HANOY9I/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=ensolite+pad&qid=1618664330&sr=8-6

[@DrRowe]

@Quantum Mechanic the heat wave has left 😂

[@UT-CLANS]

@@QuantumMech_88 I have the old military issue closed cell foam pad . Interesting idea . THX .

[@HumanityNeedsPeaceNow]

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

[@DominickRabadi]

Thank you so much. ❤ I had this pain in my left shoulder for so long and now it’s finally gone! 🎉

[@mileswestmoreland5515]

i have shoulder blade/neck stiffness from a car crash 3 years ago and this is a game changer! Going through the whole video feels like an intense but extremely effective physical therapy session. I have never done movements that helped me to this degree.

[@roxannewhite9554]

This is amazing! I’ve spend thousands of dollars at PT and this single video is worth more than that. Every video I’ve watched from your channel is spectacular. Thank you so much!!

[@DrRowe]

Glad you found the channel and the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!

[@trillwill205]

Yes!!

[@mejohn101]

Agreed. This is gold. I’ve gotten more help from this channel than years of PT.

[@mariannapodolskaya1071]

Doctor, you are a nice person too: took the time to reply to all comments! Your exercises are great!

[@DrRowe]

Well thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@utaly2199]

I watched one video end up watching all of them until 3 o clock ma god love this channel

[@DrRowe]

Get some sleep!

[@MsTammi125]

Hahahaha that's great

[@frontierbmx3719]

Same why didn’t I ever think to search back pain relief after 2 years of my back hurting and then a random video pops up under my feed. And with in 10min my back pain is gone ty so much

[@jenbodhi1133]

You’re an angel, seriously

[@Allthatglittersaintgold]

Been struggling with neck pain for a while, following a minor car crash saw a physio who noted that this could actually be deferred pain from my back - over a couple of sessions I started to realise a pain similar to a pinched nerve near my right shoulder blade. These exercises have been very helpful in easing this tightness- thank you

[@encoralsprings]

I am grateful that I found this video. I spend a lot of time in front of the PC and my shoulders are super tight. These stretches really nailed those tight points and provided immediate relief.

[@enhikmah]

I've been working as traditional therapist. I do help a lot of people, but can not help myself haha. The shoulder pain makes me unable to lift heavy things, or even sit nicely on my motorbike. This video works the best for me. Thank you so much. Really apriciate it.

[@rachaelmawer1438]

I’ve been in such pain after falling off a ladder 3 years ago and scared to do shoulder exercises at home, I’ve had such relief just trying these. Thank you so much for sharing these videos

[@hemashiva5977]

Thank you so much for the amazing videos you put. I have gone to so many physiotherapist and spent thousands of rupees, your video helped me more than all their exercises. You post all these exercises which target and work on the muscles just like you explain and keep me pain free. God bless you.

[@DrRowe]

Happy to help, and thanks for watching!

[@NB-rz1gf]

I have stiff shoulder blade because too much working with laptop, sitting in same poor posture for hours, I tried all your exercise, I could feel it, it worked well thank you so much, amazing how simple exercise really targeted exact problem. Thanks for taking time making this video.

[@cherisarno5175]

I am so grateful that I found your channel. These exercises are providing tremendous relief to a lifelong pain. Thank you

[@melissawalle266]

The video isn’t even over yet and I already feel relief. Thank you so much.

[@DrRowe]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@traceypaulsmith5164]

DrRowe - God Bless you.. the last part of this video.. I have been searching for this specific stretch when I have a knot deep in the trapezius muscel, up under the bottom of my scapula. This is so simple and it's HEAVEN! Thank you!

[@tiansharp3201]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been in so much pain that it brought tears to my eyes ! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

[@DrRowe]

Glad it helped!

[@kylielittlefield9794]

Real hero's dont wear capes! Seriously, I cant get comfortable because I've been hurting to the side at the base of my neck to a point in my back shoulder area and into my upper arm that causes tingling and numbness down into my hand and fingers all on the same side with neck movement for days and cant go to the chiropractor so I finally had to figure this out and your vids are AaaahhhhMAZING! If I could be granted 3 wishes in life, 1 would be to have a live in good chiropractor for life! Y'all are the best!!

[@DrRowe]

Glad the exercises are making a big difference, and thanks for watching!

[@justagirluwu]

How is this free???? Thank you so much after 2 weeks of what I thought was neck pain it was actually my shoulder blades and this actually loosened everything I feel amazing.

[@DrRowe]

Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!

[@archiehall1106]

Wow i had to search a back muscle diagram to find what muscle was hurting and I think it's the scapula I'm unsure, feels like right next to my shoulder blade, either way I've found stretches for it and found this video, so far I can't feel the pain so if it's helped I'm going to do this every day, this video has helped loads

[@rhythmd9691]

WOW! Great exercises for my shoulder blades and upper back. I sit a lot on my job and my shoulder blades get so tight and painful. I'm sooo pleased I found this video. Whew I can feel the muscles geting stretched!😊

[@Gold_Reflection]

Grateful for the time you take to explain how to properly stretch/massage our tight muscles! I've noticed a huge difference💛

[@DrRowe]

Glad to hear you're seeing a huge difference, and thanks so much for watching!

[@DrRowe]

Glad it’s helping you, and thanks for watching!

[@JaspersJourney]

I just want to say, I have had severe lower back problems for a month now. Started with a chiropractor and now doing 4 weeks of physical therapy. And, I have found that I am completely weak and am starting my exercises a the lowest level. This is my second week of P.T. and since I seem to have no muscle tone, my body has been used to compensating to get whatever job done that I've been doing. So last night and today my shoulder blades area feels sore and tight. And I'm assuming because I'm not doing my lower back exercises correctly, (compensating as apparently I've trained my body to do). I am not going back to P.T. til next Tuesday so I am so thankful I found your channel and this video! Loosened it a bit. Hopefully doing these through the weekend, it will help more.

[@JaspersJourney]

oh yeah!! YAY for you making St. Joe famous!! From W. MI here too!

[@dyslstudio8889]

Great vid!! I teach yoga and have disc degeneration in cervical spine and I think my scapula are working overtime. Will definitely keep these stretches in my arsenal!

[@emefalove8462]

You are simply wonderful! I did these exercise along with you, pausing for repetitions. My shoulder blades and my back feel like I had a good massage. Everything loosened up. I will definitely continue doing these. THANK YOU SO MUCH!😊

[@noohoompe5915]

Amazing! My frozen shoulder was healing with these exercises! Thank you!

[@HollyElms]

this was amazing, i was doing relatively ok until the shoulder blade lift-off, it was like my back totally locked up and i couldnt do anything. after i tried for a few seconds each time it managed to loosen it a little. thank you so much for the tutorial

[@ems8373]

Holy crap that second wall stretch hit the spot. Thank you for helping people that can't afford chiropractor care.

[@DrRowe]

It's one of my favorites. Thanks for watching!

[@thecoach1683]

Agreed, I've been pulling my arm across and never getting a good stretch, but that figure 8 stretch hit the mark like never before, wow.

[@refatrabadi6656]

Thanks for these awesome upper back stretches and strength exercises.. …especially the last exercise with the towel assisted-thoracic rotation..I felt a pinch only in the front of the left hip flexor psoas cramp. As I pressed against the towel and intensified as I tugged my left knee and twisted to the left side……. It does feel good otherwise except that feeling to feel pinch nerve deep hip/ psoas. It is only left side. It is not painful …and am glad it was less cramp and less pinch nerve with more repetitive and …. I felt a nice clink pop sound in the deep si j joint and feels great in the si joint. A great bonus ….who knew working the thoracic rotation would also fix my left hip flexor psoas and no more cramps and pinch nerves.

[@SiciElbuensici]

you are the master, saved my life

[@DrRowe]

Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!

[@mackenziemerriman502]

Bud that first and third one is awesome so far in the video. Stupid partying made me stay in bad posture for too long. Leaning back with hand behind head and the using a bed or couch one is great. Thanks man I've been rotating left and right over my left shoulder blade on a sturdy styrofoam covered back roller getting cracks but it didn't make a difference. I said no to therapy a couple years ago lol

[@marioivan1956]

The last 2 worked amazing. Thank you

[@DrRowe]

Glad it helped, and thanks so much for watching!

[@ReverieLove]

Amazing !!!

[@graikonungr7502]

The first stretch on the knees utilizing a couch and the shoulder blade liftoff both worked fairly well. The twisting motions in the others just caused mid-back cramps after muscle activation in that area. It's frustrating that an effective stretch requires relaxation, however, many stretches and poses require muscle activation in other areas that cramp on me. I've got a long slow journey ahead of me.

[@jackiehassan5362]

Nice every day I learn something new to stretch my shoulders

[@DrRowe]

Hope the exercises end up making a big difference, and thanks so much for watching!
