I never thought I could feel these sensations. . ...I've been hopeless .....this video is one of my favorites. Thanks you

I have tension headaches a lot. Actually had one when I found this video. Other videos didn’t help. This actually got rid of the knot and the headache. Thanks!!

[@DavidDemets]

Another great treat. Thank you! I especially enjoyed the very last part where you slided the fingers outward from the middle of the neck. I can still feel it right now.

Thank you very much for this! I am currently going to physical therapy for an issue in my scapula that’s affecting my neck and shoulder and is very painful.

[@frankie-xv3wo]

thank you rachel. your videos are wonderfully helpful. you are very soothing in your approach, showing kindness and vulnerability as well as being informed and clear in your instructions. I am almost feeling glad that i have had neck pain because i discovered your videos as a result and you are teaching me about more than just tending to the pain in my neck, you are helping me to become curious about the relationship i have with my body in terms of what i feels physically (sensation) and not just what i think, intuit or emotionally feel. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos :)

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Wow - thank you so much for that wonderful feedback! I'm so happy to know that you are benefiting from my videos. Your lovely message incentivizes me to keep going :)

[@nicensleazy1892]

too many years of road racing ( cycling) - Rachel that was fantastic, something which really works and so rewarding :-)

[@princesmeridafairytale6719]

Thank you so much it helps me alot for my neck pain

[@captainmorgan5449]

Thank you so much for the video. I have always joyfully paid a professional message therapist to alleviate stress and anxiety from the neck and shoulder area. But...with COVID-19 I have not been able to go. The stress of work, anxieties have not stopped. Being a 15 year Vegan (Organic foods help). Your video is a God send! Keep up the great work...it makes a difference in people lives. New subscriber....

[@jeaniemalone5304]

I commented on a shorter video you do on occipital release. This 11 minute video is great for those stubborn multi-day migraines. It’s hard for me to do the techniques in this video due to some other health issues, but I do them as best as I can and sometimes go through the routine a couple of times to get relief. Many thanks for your work helping us to help ourselves.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

I'm so glad it helps, Jeanie! In case you haven't seen it yet, I also have a self-massage specifically for migraines: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmW6ZYmeip11g7s

I've tried a couple of self-massage videos but yours has been a game changer! The difference in my neck is amazing, I'll definitely be trying to make this part of my daily routine.

I'm so glad it was helpful, Clare! Thank you so much for sharing :)

[@loloh3208]

Oh, wow. Thank you Rachel. I carry an awful lot of tension in my neck, that I don't know how to relieve. Just one attempt at this made such a huge difference. I look forward to seeing the results from doing this daily.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

So happy to hear that :)

[@mathangisubramaniam5293]

This video never fails to help me whenever my neck pain acts up (and it seems to act up more often of late). You are a sweet angel of healing dear Rachel. You help so many people around the globe ! God bless you with good health, peace and happiness. Sending you lots of love from India.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

[@sewarkha]

thank you ! it really helped with my pain

[@andreatrombitas4814]

Great video, thank you so much! I have had a few vertigo attacks, probably from my neck... Have seen a PT and chiropractor and these neck massages made wonders. However I want to continue doing these to make sure vertigo is not coming back.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

So glad it helped! Yes, neck issues and vertigo often coexist. A tight neck can put pressure on blood vessels and nerves that innervate the head. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@LAMethWitch]

this is so helpful. you are nice to look at and calming. thank you

[@thomasgreen7343]

Rachel RIchards self massage videos have helped me greatly, especially this one. I have muscle cramping throughout my body and the facility where I was getting weekly Osteo Manipulative Therapy stopped my weekly sessions a few weeks after my PCP left. I was very fortunate to find Rachel's videos and my neck area has improved while using her techniques over the past 5 weeks. I will leave more comments on other videos that have helped me. Thank you so much !!!

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

I'm sorry your osteo manipulative therapy had to end, but I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you, Thomas!

[@galiagoze]

Thank you so much, Rachel! My myofascial shoulder and neck pain is back! In fact, my muscles of the shoulders, back, and stiff jaw go together! Why the jaw? My right jaw feels like a big knot and my jaw resists wanting to open! I have facial nerve pain with it too! I notice that after I eat my jaws relax for a while. My posture is bad and I find my shoulders up to my ears a lot and i consciously release that stress! It's a bad habit from anxiety. Thanks for these tips! I will be doing them! My shoulders, head and face are really suffering!

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Thanks so much for sharing! I'm so sorry for the delayed response - I just saw your comment. I'm glad you found my video helpful. It sounds like you could benefit much more by seeing a skilled licensed massage therapist. You can find one in your area here: www.healthprofs.com/cam.

I have constant neck tightness which occasionally makes me dizzy. Especially right under my skull. Such a sensitive area for me. I find these difficult to do on myself because I tense up but it’s very helpful. Self massage is now part of my weekly routine but love it.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

I'm so happy to hear that! I know it's difficult to keep your shoulders and arms relaxed. Deep breathing can help, and also taking breaks to shake out your arms and roll your shoulders.

Although this is an old video, it really helped me today. The last three days I have been suffering from headache and feeling tired and horribly drained by my pain in my neck. My massage therapist is not available and this helped me so much, I think especially the „pulling apart“ of the tissue.
