Thankyou so much for these stretches and advice it has been life saving. I'm investigating movement disorders for myself and I had extreme neck pain that not even my physio can do much for. Thankyou ❤️

Simple but superb ! Thank you very much. With the assistance of experts like you, I am quite fit and strong at 64 years. For those who want to strengthen their necks further, you may please suggest doing some of the exercises while lying on a bench with the head suspended beyond the bench putting extra weight on the neck. Please continue to guide us. Shiva, advocate, Mysore, Karnataka, India.

Thank you! I do not recommend resistance exercise for the neck alone. Some do. I don't. Too much can go wrong with extremely bad results. However, I do recommend strengthening the shoulders and upper back with overhead presses and horizontal pulls (rows, etc.) as much as your shoulders will allow. The neck is complex, vulnerable and important. The shoulders do a good job supporting and bracing the neck without risking the structures in the neck.

great find, good prescriptions, easy to follow, fun personable... currently sitting at desk, wondering how many of those (if any) are ok to do while seated. anything more to counteract protruding neck rigidity? that's my primary issue and cause of both upper back and neck pain that climbs into headaches that the meds seem not to touch. i take it you dont visit chiros.

[@TheParkinsonsGym]

You can do all of these seated except maybe the arm stretches. You might have to turn away from the desk to do the flys. You might get some help for your neck and headaches in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXzMpHagdr-GbLc

Thanks a lot! I am a caregiver for a Parkinson’s patient and the neck rigidity is painful at times.
