How to Instantly Relieve Neck Pain at the BASE OF THE SKULL

Dr. Rowe shows how to INSTANTLY relieve neck pain at the base of the skull. All of these exercises can be done at home and require no special equipment.
In this video, we're going to deal with the muscles at the base of the skull, the upper neck, notably the SUB-OCCIPITAL muscles.
When these upper neck muscles become tight and achy they may cause a lot of issues including tension HEADACHES, loss of motion into the neck, and just downright PAIN.
Let's RELIEVE this upper neck pain in a very easy step-by-step guide. We're going to focus on self-massaging those muscles, stretching them out, and also strengthening them -- so hopefully we'll have a lot less issues of neck pain in the future.
All of these exercises can be done AT HOME, don't require any special equipment, and may give quick relief -- even in as little as 30 SECONDS!
So let's get started and get rid of that pain at the base of the skull right now!

[@biokeratingold3878]

is this useful if neck instability is the diagnosis? these exercises are making even more pain when im doing them, especially nodding down. when I nod downwards, I feel pain in the head joints. Walking, sitting and standing is almost impossible, just laying the whole time... Pls advice

Jacob my neck began causing my pain at 23--after I was hit by a semi. I will be 70 next year and only became worse. I so hope that these help you and you can find the exact cause of your pain. I had to retire early--a couple of years ago because the neck -arm pain also causes me so much dizziness I fall on MY patients. I really DO miss working

[@20bluelilies]

I'm still struggling to fix my ongoing neck issues, but I've also found that press ups against a wall (hands at shoulder height, feet about 18 - 24 inches away from wall, squeezing shoulder blades together as I sink upper body towards the wall) really helps when it starts to affect the back of my skull. For anyone who might also benefit.

I cannot believe it! Tonight my headache over one eye was particularly bad and I was feeling a bit desperate. I had an inkling it might be something to do with tight shoulder and neck muscles, but this video practically read my mind, it just jumped into my youtube feed and I had not searched for anything to do with it. Miracle!! I tried the spoon technique and it was very effective, I carried on with shoulder and neck massages and I feel so much better. My headache is gone. Thank you so much for your no nonsense approach and for appearing out of nowhere. Sorry for long review, just feel so relieved!!

Dr. Excellent video. The stretches are felt immediately. I suffer from Cervical instabilities , FHP, sites of stenosis in the cervical, thoracic and Lumbar Spines. C3-C7 dics bulges, and severe DDD throughout with Facet Joint "Syndrome". VBertigo, Tinnitus, Ear Ringing and Pressure , TMJ issues, severe neck tension into the dront along the chest into the stomach and Diaphragm (breathing difficulties), IBS, Sinusitis, and most prominent , gait unsteadiness/balance issues. These Stretches (and some others dipslayed on your channel and that of some others too), help quite a lot. My last Chiro session ober two weeks ago where the Chiro had me lie on a table which had a Rolling Message mechanism seemed to Incite or aggravate the cervical issues. When I returned to my car a few minutes later, I had a Full Blown Vertigo attack, the interior of the car was Spinning round and round. I did not panic, let it settle down and drove home trepediaciously. I stopped the sessions. Something "moved " or was disturbed that evoked the Vertigo IMHO. I had a similar attack in 2018 after ling on a large Swiss ball to stretch my back. I laid on my back acvross the swiss Ball, and after I raised my head - WOW a Room spinning attack. The cervical issues together with the Lumbar conditions contribute to Chronic Pain with more prominent Stiffness throughout my Spine. This is going on for over 40 years with deteriorating spinal conditions which were "born" from a 1 inch shorter right leg, a result of fractured right femur in 1966 at age 15. I'm 70 now, and that Unadressed issue has played complete Havoc with my Spine affecting my well being.

I've been suffering with shoulder pain 2 weeks post covid from frequent coughing. These exercises worked immediately. Thanks much!

[@DrRowe]

Glad the exercises helped you!

[@iulia.bianca.b]

Dang, did only one repetition of most of these and I can already feel a huge relief! I've suffered from pains at the base of the skull for more than a decade. I'll be using these to help with the pain and discomfort on a daily basis.

[@DrRowe]

Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!

[@DeeOne88]

@@DrRowe does this take the pain away completely or just help it?

[@Chiroman527]

I can DITTO that reaction. Boy did this stretch helped immediately !! No Meds, no huge & expensive equipment, and was never relayed to me by any of the 6 Chiros I have visited for the past 12 years. This dr. does emphasize Forward head Posture, many on the Interweb do. They warn that if you think Diabetes is at epidemic levels, Wait until the affects of Tech Neck hits the population. Sitting in front of a PC, looking down at your phone constantly, poor Posture in genertal, and especially if you have long Commuter drives (like me for 48 years). I'm 70 YO, and suffer with Chronic pain / stiffness / tempral headaches/ TMJ/ Chronic Sinusistis, Tinnitus, IBS / GERD , even incontinence - all stemming form the Cervical Spine.

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been suffering with neck pain and just following along with this video gave me huge relief 😌

[@DrRowe]

Glad you’re getting a lot of relief, and thanks for watching!

[@HY_bear]

I have had neck pain for days and I have tried many other videos (most the same neck stretches). This is the only one that gave me pain relief. The muscle scraping was amazing!

[@DrRowe]

Great to hear you’re getting relief!

[@susanyu2251]

Thank you so much. Have a lot of pressure on the back of my neck and all the tension on the back of my neck is relieved

[@bobosmodernlife]

I get the worst tension headaches that can last for weeks. Looking forward to trying these techniques out. Thanks for the video 😊

[@DrRowe]

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

I’ve been trying to ice & “nurse” my neck, spine/back & headache for most of the day at home. While sitting in my car waiting for kids to get out of school i came across your video. Just doing the stretches while watching you, i can feel a difference in my neck. My headache is slowly dissipating. Thank you for sharing these techniques!

[@DrRowe]

Glad you 're getting relief, and thanks for watching!

[@unnattidevotions3079]

Thank you Dr. Rowe, i am surprised to see the results in 11mins. i feel relaxed just after spending 11mins of quality time with your instructions.

[@DrRowe]

Glad it's helping you!

[@ktk2094]

Wow. I only got halfway through this video and my neck and head pain are greatly reduced, just that quickly. You have a new subscriber.

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Ghostyzreal]

Dude I swear to god I always see the exact video I need out of pure random coincidence 😂 its perfect I love it. Also thanks for keeping people both healthy and informed. Most would charge just for the information. Sometimes all it takes to be a hero is to help people inadvertently

[@DrRowe]

Just happy to help, and thanks for watching!

[@lisabelchik405]

Heck yeah doc! I feel Soooo much better. Wow! Saved this video.❤ Thank you!

[@DrRowe]

Glad to hear you're getting relief!

[@poknatnice9097]

i was watching bob and brad coz im trying to find something to help me for the pinched nerve pain im having rt.now,then i saw this and omg, this really works, im stock now i keep clicking and watching most of your video now for like an hour, i keep watching about the pinched neck pain,muscles,the knots at the back and YESSSS its helping me from pain now and your explaining it so clearly also your showing it in the video closer,its much easier to understand and see it, i will subscribe coz im always in pain for so many years, i think this is my first favorite, easy exercise that really works fast, the best part is we dont need to buy any expensive stuff to exercise to help for the pain, thanks for the help, im gonna watch more before i go to sleep,thanks DR.ROWE.
