0:34 1) Left to Right (keep eyes on same plane, don't overextend just go till you meet resistance, one side is likely dominant) 1:01 2) Look up-Look down (hand on chest to focus the neck muscles going up muscle-stretch felt in front, pivot from top of skull keeping neck high tucking in chin) 1:41 3) Tilt ears up and up (lower ear doesn't dip to shoulder, but rather upper ears rises straight up, muscle-stretch felt on sides of neck) 2:08 4) Cell-phone Drill (hands on chest, pull chin back "fat-face" or "double chin", forward will feel muscle-stretch at back of neck) 2:37 5) Janet Jakson, head slides side-to-side (Eyes are to remain level all the time and chin should not tilt) 3:06 6) Front half-circle (lift ear up, then roll chin to chest, then lift other ear up) * Always keep spine vertical Variation L1) start standing (legs 180) L2) then sit on a chair or stairs (legs at 90 degrees) L3) then be on stairs with feet on step just lower than where you sit, or a low stool. Goal is to have knees above hips (less than 90) L4 last level is a ground crouch while on back poised straight (butt almost touching or touching heels, legs fully bent closed and knees higher than hips)

Hi, I just wanted to say that this drill genuinely HAS changed my life. About 7 months ago, I found this video, downloaded an interval timer and started doing the three minutes every morning while I was making my coffee. Within about 3 weeks I noticed a massive difference in my range of motion. But that wasn't where it ended. From that three minutes I have built a whole morning mobility and yoga drill that mobilises all of my joints and my thoracic spine and from there, I've started a daily inversion practice and from there, I started following up my mobility/yoga with a daily seated meditation. So, from your 3 minute drill I have changed my life for the better. It all starts with the neck. Thank you so much!

I used to be into "fitness" as a youngster, now I'm into "Wellness" as a senior. Thanks for sharing these neck routines. Neck exercises are incredibly important, as they keep the nervous system working properly. Hope you don't mind my using your platform to suggest this: One needs to be very careful not to strain in the beginning, & later it will come easier & the benefits will speak for themselves. It saddens me how most American adults cannot even squat, or tie their shoe laces without huffing & puffing. Weight gain (obesity, actually) is a major problem, and it leads to so much more. Saying "fat" is taboo, but being fat is a norm. People need to realize the extra weight is like carrying a set of luggage or heavy bag around all the time. The organs, & body parts are over burdened, and soon start to protest. LISTEN to the early warning signs: "If we listen to our body when it whispers, we won't have to hear it scream". ✌

Same here! Mostly because I'm a middle-aged semi-senior that accumulated all sorts of snapped shit from being a "fitness" enthusiast youngster. What changed my life was being diagnosed with cervical stenosis (spinal cord compression from disc herniation). Best thing to ever happen, sort of, as it completely changed how I design my weightlifting routines as well as paved way for me to implement a wellness routine that focuses the basic human functions we've lost as a modern species.

[@Bountynuma]

Here are all the exercises in the video: 1 - Turn head left to right - 0:34 2 - Place two hands on your chest and look up and down, still keep the neck upright when looking down - 1:00 3 - Lift ear to the sky, make neck longer, not shorter - 1:40 4 - "The Cellphone Drill" Drive your head forward and back - 2:07 5 - "The Janet Jackson" Slide head from left to right, keep two hands on the chest - 2:36 6 - Front half head circle; Lift right ear to the sky, chin to chest, lift left ear to the sky - 3:01 Try to do each exercise every day for at least 30 seconds - comes out to exactly 3 minutes. You can alternate doing the exercises standing and sitting from one day to the other. When sitting, try to get your hips lower than your knees, similar to when you're in a squat position. Good luck to all of you! I'll also try to do these every day from now on!

Awesome, 50 yrs of constant pain, but making progress, never felt better.

[@PedroPlckle]

Hi Mark. After watching your video about 20 months ago, I started. It took about 8 months to be able to achieve max neck flexibility of looking to the right. I had to take the drastic step of moving my head by gently forcing my head to the right by holding my chin and back of head because I simply could not get the movement using neck muscle. It was simply too painful. After about a year of doing this, very very gradually increasing the movement, the cracking stopped and now I can move my head freely to the right without hands. Sleeping in max right position every night helped massively and was pivotal to my recovery. This injury was caused by 30 years of sleeping on one side only, perpetuated by the pain I had every time I tried sleeping on the other side. Now I sleep on front or back but head firmly in the extended far right position. The comfort I now get from this is permanent and pain-free. You indeed changed my life and I sincerely thank you. I can look both ways now when crossing the road! 😃

[@don220486]

That’s great but you shouldn’t sleep on your front especially with a turned head. It’s loads of stress on the nerves and joints. Bob and Brad talk about this.

30 seconds each 1. Look left and right 2. Look up and down (tuck chin) 3. Head tilt (make the neck longer) 4. Cellphone drill (forward and back) 5. Janet Jackson (slide from side to side with eyes level) 6. Half rotations (lift your ear, chin to chest)

[@Kavlotic]

I found it easier to just count 20 reps, 10 each side. That way you're not trying to look down at your watch / phone and just focus on keeping correct posture. It takes like a minute longer.

[@witchypoo1663]

head slide can be hard to learn (ex belly dancer). stand with back & back of head touching a wall. for some reason the touch of the wall on the back of the head made it possible for every person who had been unable to master this movement. once movement is learned you no longer need the wall. be gentle & patient. you have probably never moved you neck like this in your life. if you feel no movement still try every day because there is stuff happening inside you just cant feel it. dont push it. 1 day when it is ready it will surprise you & start to move. once again dont push it be gentle

@@lorilaw2604 I have a very significant neck injury, and suffer with life long headaches. My thoughts about your response after doing these exercises myself. If you are not used to exercising your neck and or have injury or knots etc., move very slowly, and do not over stretch, particularly until you get the hang of things. I must add an adjunct should you take the peppermint essential oil( e.o) recommendation. Peppermint e.o. is excellent for pain, but never apply directly to the skin without a carrier oil (jojoba, olive oil etc), and particularly if you are applying near the face such as temples, use a very low dilution..a drop or two of organic peppermint e.o in a tsp. (5 ml). You may use a bit higher dilution of it is on your neck, knee etc, but peppermint is very strong and effective, a little goes a long way. Best to you❣

[@JohnMoseley]

@@lorilaw2604 I'm not a Christian, but Judy's thing about a spirit of fear may have some truth to it. The therapy known as EMDR is often used to treat people who've suffered serious physical trauma such as neck injury, and it often turns out that the persistent physical symptoms are really a psychological response to the trauma. EMDR often brings relief very quickly in instances like this, so I'm told. If Judy's approach isn't your kind of thing, you could try this instead. Good luck.

[@omnihexa]

@@AndyWardle Congrats! I felt the benefit right away after this training!

[@onpsxmember]

The big mistake most people make that go through any type of rehabilitation is that they stop after it's gone for a while. It's constant maintenance. If you stop, it'll be back.

[@AndyWardle]

@@onpsxmember I’m still doing it. Every day for about 10 minutes daytime and 10 at night. It’s definitely improving 👍

Thank you for this! I am a 25 year firefighter and over the course of my career I have noticed and been battling neck issues. It is shocking how undervalued and yet important neck mobility esp when I notice how much less I have. I will definitely make this part of my day

Excellent! I had a 2 level spinal fusion surgery that failed when the screws wiggled loose, eventually requiring a 4 level fusion, having 8 screws and titanium rebar keeping my head attached to my body. Fifteen years of pain that I could never have imagined, despite years of massive amounts of morphine (which was profoundly horrific to wean off of). By comparison, during this time, a broken leg and a root canal was uncomfortable and inconvenient, but nowhere near as debilitating as my neck pain. I often thought that death would be my only respite. I've begun to feel significant relief in a short period of time, and I hope it continues, (although I'm wary of getting my hopes up, having been disappointed many times before). For the first time, I can imagine finally getting off of disability and returning to work before getting too old and decrepit. Perhaps even able to indulge in my passion for skiing, after decades of being unable to. 😀

[@rickmatlock5421]

I am at the 2 level neck fusion and 2 level lumbar fusion. I have one screw backing out in the titanium plate in my neck. I am 57. I am done with surgeons. I want off the Morphine Sulfate. Been on it for over 10 years. Yet that is all they will do now. Want to find a new doctor, forget it, they want nothing to do with you. Even my dentist told me he was uncomfortable working on me because of the neck and the morphine. he pulled 2 teeth at once with minimal numbing and sent me out the door a bloody mess. I am doing this exercise although I have been advised not to. My neck does feel better.

I feel a huge relaxing feeling after doing these even for less than 3 minutes! Thank you!

[@Kteeee]

Thank u for ur thorough explanations. Far too often people on KZbin just give exercises without taking into account some of us have neuromuscular problems and doing exercises in those faulty patterns doesn’t help. Thorough explanations helps walk us through things so we’re more present and focusing on how we’re doing/feeling the exercise and not just repeating bad reps over and over again

[@WhatInTheDeepestShadeOfFeck]

This is fantastic. I can hear and feel it working. Great to see a helpful KZbin video that gets straight to the point. Thank you.

[@bdove7939]

These are all very effective and helped me quite a bit. A modification of the side to side was given to me by my PT. I was told to use a pillow case around the back of my neck to push my chin toward the opposite shoulder. That action alone relieved a knot I had in my neck for 20 years that nothing else would help. There is probably a you tube video that is better than my words at providing instruction. Thanks Mark for having such clear useful videos.

[@dhx7749]

After painful shoulder surgery I've suffered for ages with severe neck pain. Literally every day...Did your simple neck exercises and for the first time in a long, long time it's gone. Thank you so much👌

[@oppothumbs1]

Best exercise program ever from KZbin imo. You are quick to demonstrate and so easy to listen to, informative; you keep moving, you don't make us wait 10 mins for the exercises, and you don't go into all the boring anatomy (to me) stuff. You are the gold standard.

[@chelseaclerke3582]

My neck, chest and the front and top of my right shoulder have been hurting for days. I do a lot of neck stretches and even some of these exercises but doing all of these really helped a lot more than just stretching. I will do them daily now for sure.

[@XRP1968]

From a training perspective, I don't believe your explanation and demonstration could be any better. Well done and I, for one, am starting this to see how it helps my neck. Thanks.

I have an old whiplash injury that occasionally still gives me trouble after 40 years of daily mobility training. These exercises gave me immediate relief. I'm going to keep on doing them.

[@rmkpilates]

It is not a cheap trick. It is mobility stretching. Your whole body needs it. You did a great job explaining and demoing. I am 68 and teach Pilates and incorporate most of these moves. Strength and flexibility will give you long lean muscles. Start slow and build up. Good health to all.

[@Marie.b]

You don't get it! He calls it a cheap trick because you are getting in other exercises while you are doing neck exercises. That's the trick, cheap is saying it doesn't cost you any more(effort etc). lol. Do you actually think he actually thinks for one minute it's an actual trick!

[@tilnei]

can i do it while lying down ?

[@vidyamancer7135]

The fuck does "long lean muscles" mean? You can't permanently make your muscles any "longer" by exercising. Your muscle insertion points and tendons remain in the same place throughout adulthood. Lean muscles? Intra-muscular fat is lost by losing fat in general, not by doing any specific type of exercising. That's a lot of pseudo-science you're sharing with the world, Rana. Don't misinform people.

[@joanndaprile9076]

@@vidyamancer7135 Look at ballet dancers. They have long and lean muscles, which comes from continually stretching the belly of the muscle. So yes, it prevents the muscle from shortening and contracting, which is tends to do especially with age. Pilates is not "pseudoscience"
