Relieve tight shoulders with self-massage!

[@manuelcenteno9771]

I’m glad you kept these videos until now. I’m retired and can’t afford a physiotherapist. I’ve seen countless videos, none worked. You’re the first and only brought me immediate pain relief. Thank you so much.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

I'm so glad they've helped you relieve pain!

[@rainy7106]

Jesus, I did one technique and I got instant relief.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

That's great!

@Vape Girl honestly wish I remembered but I had this problem two years ago and it never came back. i’ll try and watch the video in a bit to see if I can remember it.

[@HeartOfFullmetal]

Wow, this felt more incredible than I thought it would. I have been so stressed this weekend and this helped my shoulders relax again. Thank you!

Your voice is super relaxing!

Oh my god..only after doing one side shoulder did i realize how tense the other one was..amazing relief..!!!!

Very nice! Loved the comment of how you need to customize it, always love watching others' massages!

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Thanks so much! Customization is essential. Everyone is different. Even people who have exactly the same symptoms will often respond to different treatment approaches.

I’ve been suffering in school because of all the tension in my shoulders and neck this really helped also you have a really calming voice

I know this is three years old, but thank you!! I was able to adjust some spots in my neck that I haven’t been able to in weeks! That last move, the ballet one, felt incredible! This video is magical!!

I never comment on KZbin videos but this deserved a line and a comment! I felt instant relief just from doing one side and I suffer with fibromyalgia and haven’t found anything that helps with my back pain. Thank you so much for doing this video x

Wow, I am honored! I'm so glad this video has helped with your back pain. Thank you so much for letting me know :)

Amazing massage, and best one I've seen! I've struggled with chronic shoulder pain for years, and relied on massage therapy. This is a great way to treat myself while sitting at my desk. Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

[@rafahathibrahim]

@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 Hello there again. I would like to know if there are any massages for the front of the neck. As you know when we feel stressed and anxious our throats tighten and we feel like crying right haha. I really need something that will expand and relax it

[@marijay3771]

I didn't even know that many muscles other than my shoulders were so TENSE, my god. anxiety and stress reallly take such a huge toll on the body, but I'm glad to this video. Thank you!

[@anje2150]

This was an excellent video! Thank you so much. I am a recently retired Massage Therapist after 38 years. You show excellent techniques and also how to be:breath,slow,etc. I respect your work. Thanks again~

[@karenpurcell3370]

I read everyone’s comments from your stretch video. You are Perfect! You explain everything in detail with your calm knowledgeable voice. You have helped so many people, you truly are amazing! I wish I was one of those very lucky people who get to feel such total relief from your teachings, Truly I do! I have severe arthritis in my fingers and hands and could not follow along with you, oh how I wish I could, how I wish I could have felt that remarkable tension release you taught and demonstrate so perfectly. Definitely my loss it makes me so sad. As I stated, I you are truly amazing and blessed with a wonderful gift from God. I am your #1 fan, please keep your videos coming, I can’t follow along but nevertheless enjoy watching you and them!!!!

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Thank you for that beautiful message, Karen! You gave me a wonderful idea - I will make self-massage videos that don't require the use of your hands! There are many ways to massage using your forearms, balls, the floor, etc. Thank you for the inspiration, and stay tuned!

[@natalialaxamana7354]

I have chronic back pain/tight shoulders because of my history as a gymnast as well as carrying my anxiety in my shoulders. Often times I can't sleep because of how much my back hurts, stumbled across this video and I feel so much better.

[@franciscogonzalez3662]

Sometimes you gotta just do it.

[@hollyh9799]

This is a life saver. I've had an achey shoulder for the past week and it's been causing me problems sleeping but after doing this massage the pain has gone completely. Amazing. I am very tense in my shoulders so this was very relaxing to do. Thanks so much for your great videos.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

So great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing :)

Thank you so much, Jesse! That means so much to me :)

[@jupiter5238]

these videos are so timeless!! i used to follow these with my friends a few years ago while we were on a school trip (we were walking a lot carrying drawstring bags so our shoulders were incredibly sore). I'm in college now and I had such a stressful few weeks in school. i could already feel the tension, but i had to lug a super heavy bag to the train station yesterday and woke up extremely sore. decided it was time for a self-massage and this video plus a few other helped so much.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you!

[@EmeraldAngelEyes]

Wow! I needed that, had no idea how tense my shoulders were until I tried it. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@insertcoolusername3648]

always come back to this video very helpful thank u

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Glad to hear that!

[@missmagic707]

Thank you so much! This is great! I never realised now much tension could be in the front of my chest and not actually in my shoulders themselves. Also that my non dominant side could be so tight! Thank you :)

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

The front of the shoulders and chest are usually the most important areas to work. Most of us round our shoulders forward, closing off the chest muscles and holding them in a short and tightened position. The back of the shoulders (and where people almost always feel the pain) gets stretched out and weak from trying to pull our shoulders back so we don't fall forward. The back will never be able to relax until we achieve length and openness through the front. I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for your feedback!

[@debbiew593]

Thank you for this lovely massage

Hey, it's you again.... my favorite massage therapist... every time I need help with something, I go to the internet and you pop up, thank you for all your help. I hope all is well with you and your family, best wishes! :D
