Jeff I... I can't thank you enough. I have had a chronic pain in that middle back thoracic spine area for 9 months now and each exercice has made me feel a pleasurable tingle sensation in the zone of pain. God bless you. You are amazing

[@HtheKing]

How is your back now?

[@javitoy7529]

@@HtheKing Holding up better luckily! And these stretchings that I've been doing regularly definetely have played a role. I also changed my mattress to a firmer one. The main source of pain is not entirely gone but I can go on with my life with much ease

[@WpMeOskar9000]

​@@javitoy7529that's good to hear. I have this weird tingle in my upper back especially on the left side every time when I bend over and do something for example making my bed. But these stretches which Jeff provided to us are really helpful and I do feel much better after doing them

[@jeremyrowe8224]

@@javitoy7529 having the same issue, just got a stiff mattress and its helped some, but still some mid/upper back pain. still pain free and doing these exercises?

How is your back now? 10 month later:)

[@briangreen8033]

I have been dealing with this all my life. I even had back surgery on my lower back 15 years ago, but things became worse. I only did this once, along with the video, except the machine work, and I can feel the tension release that I've sought all along. Thank you! I will be doing this religiously henceforth. Take care and God bless. ✝️

I can't thank you enough for yor "rehab" advices. Suffered from shoulder pain, lower back pain and upper back pain (all of them on my right side, hmmm). I have saved all three videos in my KZbin library and your instructions work like magic. Thank's a million. Henrik, 70 years old, in Stockholm, Sweden. Still going to the gym.

[@planktonofbikinibottom]

I've been having a lot of annoying pain in this area. It's like a weird dull muscle ache. These exercises helped me finally target those muscles! Thanks Jeff!

[@rafaelsoares6093]

I never thought this would be something actually common. I have pain in this area very randomly. Once I woke up in the middle of the night with this area completely locked. Thanks a lot for this, really, it's life changing!

I am experiencing this right now

[@robertthrill7904]

It really works guys. I had upper back pain for more than a year I even tried spine adjustment once but it didn’t work. Its been 3 weeks that I’m trying this workout and guess what, the pain is gone. Thank you for sharing valuable contents like this ✌🏻

[@mkultrawoke9981]

Jeff has so far healed pain in my: rotator cuff, lower back, upper back, knees and hips, when nothing else on the internet and even paid PTs did. The man is really truly a genius

[@edwardwagner2679]

I’ve had these problems for years working as a 6’3 physical therapist doing home care and causing costo-transverse joint and costo-vertebral dysfunction where manipulations instantly abate pain followed by soft tissue mobilizations and then these well thought out exercises, where I have to avoid excessive protraction. Bravo Jeff

[@christophermartinez5124]

This SERIOUSLY helped me right now. After a chiropractor visit, $50 copay, massage, and lost sleep. Nothing worked to relieve my mid back pain except this! Thank you Jeff, you came through again. Got me through other injuries, setbacks, and the pandemic. I would be in much poorer health and possibly worse if it weren’t for you! God bless you brother 🙏🏽💪🏽!

[@tourniqeut]

Can't thank you enough. Was having the worst nagging pain on that X for years. Started when I had a build project where I was hanging sheets of plywood on the ceiling and walls. Subsequently ach3d from even pushing against a wall with arms raised above the shoulders. 10 minutes of this instruction and I feel better already.

[@dezrad11]

I’ve been doing a similar regiment for some time and it has helped my back pain immensely

[@adrianmasters250]

I love you Jeff, I've had upper back problems in that exact area ever since seeing a chiropractor about a year ago. I'd never once had them before that and now it won't seem to go away and I'm gonna start all of these exercises today.

[@eoinmcg9842]

[@lawdogwales5921]

Worked for me. No more upper back spasms and no fear of them recurring because I know what to do now.

[@padraiga814]

ER Nurse here. Thank you! Jeff has helped me throughout my career. Been going strong for a while and have worked through a lot of chronic issues that would’ve otherwise ended my career.

[@zoomaxel6601]

got upper back pain since last month, so lucky that Jeff makes a video about this

[@daynevickers1079]

Appreciate this video! I've had lower and thoracic problems for over 25 years. I eventually learned how to take care of them through a process of elimination (along with help from a good P.T. such as yourself). My thoracic region gets 'locked', causing significant pain, and the BEST thing I've found is to literally grab my ankles, knees straight, and then arch my back as much as possible. This allows me to 'pop' my thoracic vertebrae, and when it does, it gives immediate relief. For my lower back, nothing brings relief nearly as much as using an inversion table, which I do religiously most every day (I also do upside down crunches to hit my abs/core). Both these measures work great for me, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Lovin' your content!

[@TheBlackened50]

What you mean with inversion table?

[@Demorian85]

Definetly a problem area for me. Looking forward to work through this!

[@leroybrown1126]

Bro I love you so much. Honestly you are god sent. I'm a landscaper and I workout after work and I get the worst back pain and I had no idea what I was going to do and was fearful of it being like that forever. But after I tried these stretches and exercises I felt sooooooo much better. I was literally tearing up doing the back exercises it felt so good. I love you so much man, I really can't thank you enough for all the pain and money you have saved me bro. Thank you so much. Honestly you deserve only the best of what the world can give💪💪💪💪

[@linos1987]

Posted one day ago, people have tried it, healed, and thanked Jeff already.

[@jeffd2398]

I fell off of a landing gear door back in 2016 and landed on a large metal structure across my thoracic area. Rotated my vertebrae and have had muscle spasms since. To say my upper back has been tight since then would be an understatement. These are the first moves I've done that have actually made a difference. Thanks!

THANK YOU ! I can't thank you enough ! I'm 50 and decided to start working out to get rid of the "Dad body" I worked out for about two weeks and I got pain in my upper back between my scapular area. It was bad I knew it was because I was out of shape but it wouldn't go away! I watched this video ,and gave it a try .OMG it was magic !! Maybe 5 minutes and I didn't hurt it was like a switch . I'm going to do this routine a couple more times for a couple days than back to the gym and I am going to do these exercises after every work out . Thanks again

Apparently four of you are first… hahaha. I do almost all of this a daily already thanks to you, Jeff. It’s been slowly handling this knot to the left of my spine, mid should blade. Appreciate you, man!

[@petenyc]

Thanks so much, I have been doing these exercises for two weeks, and the progress that I have made is more than I made during a year of physical therapy. note, I also used a leg machine (low weights and two sets of 12 or so reps) to strengthen my hamstrings, this mitigated some tightness in my lower back as my upper back regained strength, and today I started to hang on a bar with my feet on the floor, which has also helped. Thanks again, this video is amazing!

This might be helpful for me... I have been subbed to you for I think at least 12 years or more now... And I don't leave many comments just use the information... But I have been unable to train mostly for about 9 years from medical issues... I have a plan with an instructor hopefully starting this year through the physio clinic and specialist endocrinology too as the meds they put me on could of contributed to making me really ill for a long time. I really hope to get the extra weight back off and get something like strong again as I trained at home upto seven days a week for years and even if I can't get rid of the pain from the musculoskeletal and neuropathic issues being able to train again would mean the world to me. As always great material and insights. You guys are awesome x
