The Neck and Shoulder Pain Muscle (How to Release It for INSTANT RELIEF)

Dr. Rowe shows how to quickly release tightness and tension in muscles highly associated with neck and shoulder pain.
A big contributing factor of neck and shoulder discomfort comes from a build up of stress, tension, and tightness in muscles that can lead to painful muscle knots, spasms, and trigger points.
This video will help release this stress and tension (and keep it easy) by focusing on two main muscles that cause pain in this area, the levator scapulae and upper trapezius.
Each exercise works a little differently. To get the best results, go through them all and use what gives you the most pain relief.
As a bonus, all of these exercises can be done at home and require no equipment.
Watch now for quick and long-lasting neck and upper back muscle pain relief.

Dr. Rowe am having pain at d left side under my bottom to My thigh, much pain

[@valeriebecker5108]

This whole series is phenomenal!!!!! There is a lot to this so will have to watch it again and again..thank you so much

[@carolinew951]

@DrRowe Hello! Firstly, thank you for your valuable lessons! I have a suggestion, it may sound odd. Stretching the intercostal rib muscles. I think these muscles can get very stiff, impairing a full range of motion like a torso rotation. I don't know if any exercises exist for this, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks again for the work that you share!

[@nicolemsoer]

I am interested in exercises for hands/wrists/ fingers soreness from tech use. This video was great!

[@frances756]

Thank you Dr Rowe ❤ my trapped nerve was excruciating and thanks to you it's gone ❤

[@dr.pepperaddict8071]

[@DrRowe]

[@DrRowe]

[@shanethornton9067]

You are amazing man. I started watching your videos for lower back pain relief (which your exercises solved) and now I'm checking your channel for all my other aches and pains. As a factory worker stomping around on concrete for 60 hours a week I can't even describe how much you have improved my life with these simple videos.

[@wileycom]

The Lavator Scapulae! Oh my goodness that’s the exact spot that has been giving me so much discomfort for a week now! I didn’t know the name of it. Many thanks as always for this information. I am a senior and my doctor is sending me for an ultrasound it was hurting so intensely. I will get the test but also gently try your exercises. I’m so grateful for all you do. ❤

[@DrRowe]

Hope the exercises help you, and thanks for watching!

[@newjupiter862]

[@crystolliapoupart2738]

I was recently in a car accident, a couple weeks before Xmas. I was close to breaking my neck, instead I fractured my neck. I’ve been in so much pain, I lost a vehicle so it was hard for me to get to appt. To see what I needed to do to help relive the pain and also heal. Did I mention I have 3 kids. The youngest being a baby. It was a hard Christmas. I just found ur videos and I applaud u for the help. I couldn’t feel my fingers for weeks, from poor circulation due to my neck and shoulder pain. Doing these stretches helped a lot. I now watch all ur videos. :)

Thank you so much, Doc. When my arm cannot reach up to my shoulder or do much, I use a wooden back scratcher with a gauze pad taped on to do the shoulder muscle and other areas.

[@full2821]

Hello from France ! You've asked me to come back and tell you how the exercises worked for my back pain, your exercises served me well but the method that allowed me to stop the pain is the control of my breath through meditation, I I had a very bad breathing habit even when everything was going well. (especially when I was sleeping) I still need a little more time and I still have my neck and shoulder blades to adjust, your exercise is helping me a lot Thank you for everything !

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for the update!

Wow. Now that I start the exercises, I realize that I have it on both sides of my neck and shoulders. It's also radiating to both my pinkies and right middle finger, and right inner wrist.
