Got an ADCF at the beginning of November and I'm still waiting for physiotherapy through the F(ucking)NHS. they booked me in for the 23rd of Jan, so will do this in the meantime. Thanks a lot 👌🔥

How you feel?

Great help, it's been over 1 year and every little bit helps. Been in a car wreck stiff as a board every morning. SOFLO woman responsible had no insurance, very very bad situation...72 sick cancer patient who is fighting the war on the evil C etc al. God bless America and stay healthy as possible DC

[@isurrenderall5544]

Great exercises! Anyone with questions regarding when you can do surgery, you really need to call your physicians office and clear what you can and cannot do. There is not a site on the internet with any credibility that is going to give you clearance to do any of these exercises post surgery! If you damage your neck prior to checking with your surgeon, the damage (if any) done is on you. Please consult esp with your surgeon! I hope everyone recovers and is doing well!

Are these exercises ok to do after thyroidectomy?

[@rayelreviewer3230]

My neighbor had double neck fusion and has no insurance for therapy. I feel I can help him as I've had double back fusion 3X n over 14 surgeries. I want to help him rehab, what does the JAW exercise exactly do? What does that accomplish? Thank you RayRay

[@BenSussmanpro]

Very helpful, but I didn’t see any exercises/stretches for tilting head back, eg, improving range of motion for things like looking at the sky, ceiling, etc. Is this not a goal for PT?

[@suryakumaribahumanyam9197]

Thanks a lot. It has helped a lot

[@charlescurtis2733]

I had cervical stenosis surgery 4 days ago. I am home now I still have no feeling in my hands or fingers and I am required to wear the neck brace for the next 3 weeks I don't start physical therapy for another three days. Is there any exercises I can do that will specifically bring my hands back to life so that I can use them in the meantime before Physical Therapy starts

[@vuanhhai3869]

Could I applied this technique for patient who had thyroid surgery?

👌❤一天做3次 A.🟢在各關節部位做維持關節活動的#溫和主動肌肉收縮 的運動 幫助恢復肌力 1.🌹1:20 頭和背部貼牆的#後收下巴運動。且 同時想像頭頂的髮束被垂直於地面方向拉頭和頸往天花板延伸，#作出頸椎和頭的縱向延伸。 2.🌹1:44 提起肩膀和肩胛骨 的主動#夾頸聳肩運動，把肩聳向雙耳端停在高處持續發力夾緊一段時間再放下。 3.🌹2:12 #上臂和肩與肩胛骨的後收內夾運動: 曲雙肘呈90，上臂在平行地面狀態下，向後方打開併感受兩肩胛骨內側在上背後方相向靠近。 注意，別出現把頭頸向前伸的動作2:50。且不要讓前胸下緣肋骨向外向前翻出挺出。 4.🌹3:06 在矢狀面上作#雙肩繞圓運動。不必向影片把上臂伸直，可以把上肢垂放身體兩側，只以肩頭做環繞。上肢伸出會增加力臂長度，對頸椎關節的手術後的負荷可能過大。 5.🌹3:30 看著鏡子，舌尖抵在上顎前方，做下顎向正下的活動20下。 ######################## B.🟢#拉伸運動 改善肌肉筋膜延展性 1.🌹4:23 轉頭向右向上，以左手如影片方式放置掌跟於下巴下緣，推拉筋膜和下巴朝右上方，達極限後維持20秒。 2.🌹4:55 將頭向左下方看，再輔以手擺在頭後施力向前向下，作拉伸。 3.🌹5:32 靠牆貼壁，作頸部側面的拉伸。 4.🌹6:32 藉門框緣拉伸前胸區: 把上臂在前胸所在平面外展90度，肘約與肩同高、置放在門框緣，向前踏出一腳帶動上半身向前而使前胸臂的肌筋膜獲得拉伸。

Can we do this stretch after 5 months after surgery?

[@luizsforca1639]

Thanks 🙏

[@goodjadhav9819]

Nice

[@poojavenugopal3045]

Can we do these exercises post op day 2?

[@BenSussmanpro]

No! At least not if you had fusion at C4-C7. I was told to wait 6 weeks.
