@Holden Kylo thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

You guys are absolute legends. Helped my neck in 5 mins more than my PTs and Chiros have in 5 years. I wish more therapists had the knowledge and skills you two posess

[@absolutetruthgirl]

I've had extreme back pain on the upper right to the point where I couldn't sleep. The towel stretch was so powerful my whole body relaxed. Thanks a million!! You guys have solved like 10 physical problems I've had

[@janetpower5301]

You guys are life savers for me. I was in terrible pain last year, after watching and following your videos, no more severe pain from a pinched nerve in my neck. God bless you both.

[@caroldanson5476]

I worked with a nurse who was round shouldered or in a hunched shoulder position. I would go and gently pull her shoulders back so she was straight and did they several times until I realized that all I had to do was put my finger on her chin and push it back and her shoulders went into good position. Putting your head over your spinal column works beautiful

[@paulinasanchez2923]

I can’t believe for months my physical therapist has me doing those pulling down head stretches when I have a bulging disc on neck, I kept telling them after seeing them I felt worse and still they wouldn’t change a thing, I’m so glad I watched your video!

[@AbenaAnima]

Hei Bob and Brad and Co, a smart tip. Please timestamp or name those exercises in the video and in the description section of the video. It makes it easy i find these exercises and actually practice. Thanks for all u do.

[@Angie-it9fg]

I suffered from whiplash 10 years ago and went to different physiotherapists who taught those wrong methods. Same with exercise trainers. My headaches and neck/back pain go away for a day or two, but always came back. But after less than a week of doing the gentler routines by Bob and Brad, my headaches are gone, same with the stiffness around my neck and shoulders! I can't thank you enough! Will come back here to learn proper exercises!

[@honnisukiyanen]

I just want to say thank you so much for your videos. I was diagnosed this past week with having an overly-straight neck with a pinched nerve (cervical radiculopathy in upper chest and left arm) and slight deterioration around C5, and at first it was a very upsetting and scary diagnosis (especially since I am only 30) but after watching your videos I feel prepared to help myself take care of my neck and spine so I can do as little further damage as possible. Thank you for all your videos, they're incredibly helpful and very informative.

[@MyqOMatic]

Every time I have an issue. You guys seem to make a video to help me with it. It’s like you make these videos just for me! Thank you

Bob and Brad I just want to thank you! I could not figure out how to resolve my neck pain until I went to your videos! My pain is almost gone. I did exactly like what you said for us to do! Thank you

[@angied1178]

I really want to thank you two for making this video! I was in such extreme pain yesterday. I spent the day doing the good stretches you recommended. Although I'm not 100% yet, I do feel a whole lot better (functional at least) today. I will keep with the exercises and I look forward to feeling completely better soon !

[@cecestewart1097]

Glad that Brad and Bob cleared up how to stretch the neck area, so often you see the other ways of stretching which can create problems and not really help what the individual really needs. Glad I found you quys.

[@joannebell3405]

Oh my goodness I've been pulling and stretching to the side with head tilt as much as I possibly could!! Even getting a big satisfying crack, feels good at the time and I like what I need to do to try and relieve something but then it gets so sore/no better at all, very thankful for this video 🙏🙌💕✨💕✨

[@francesbrown850]

Thanks very much. Had a ‘dodgy neck’ since I was trapped under a vehicle years ago. I have had an exercise sheet all these years with all the aggressive exercises you mentioned. Very glad to find out that those 3 gentle exercises are all I need to do. What a relief.

[@mommyseastar5776]

Oh no! I was doing those two bad things exercises! I’m a violinist and have some real neck pain. Glad I saw this video!

[@SlickLicksWithAlex]

Mommy SeaStar I’m a guitarist and have really bad neck pain too, I’m struggling to find a solution to my pain..

[@mommyseastar5776]

These guys could do a great series for musicians! We need it!

[@RTHfan]

My PT guy told me to do both. So I think I’ll just leave my trapezius alone and take up drinking🙄. But not with him. So frustrated.

[@FutureCivilWarHero]

I wish they'd explain WHY we shouldn't do those stretches. Ive been doing those 2 for years. Whoops

[@denniero6904]

Maybe you violate too much.

[@krisnovo5375]

Thank you! I was suffering from stiff neck for two days now and due to lockdown, physiotherapy is not that available at the moment. This really helped!😊

[@sylhomeo6351]

Really kind of you guys to help us out like this. Much appreciated!

[@fbs1917]

Bob & Brad you are the first place I go to for advice. Even share your videos

[@reellife1771]

This helped me so much! The most important thing is to be GENTLE with your movements. Bob & Brad rock!

[@chrismcdonald3799]

I can’t tell you how much you guys have helped me .... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@carl13579]

The good methods they are describing are called the McKenzie method. There are some good books on this. There is also a long tubular pillow the McKenzie people sell that you put in the pillowcase with your regular pillow that helps support your neck while you sleep. Both have helped me immensely.

[@j49683]

Thank you so much! This video has made me realise that I've actually been taught by someone to do a "never do" neck exercise and thats why I am getting worse, not better!

[@westermangolftraining3992]

Thanks guys! So happy to have this channel in my repertoire, I just refer my clients to your channel if they have issues if they want quick advice before seeing a physio if it doesn't improve.

[@benjaminclutter8611]

I have been using a resistance band and working my neck HARD left, right and up and back. It hasn’t caused problems yet but the law probability not a matter of if but when so on that I sincerely thank you

[@cmclean1954]

I used ur neck stretches last week and felt so good. Then I used the towel tick to stretch further,I was showing off to my hubby that wasn’t paying attention so I did it too much. Couldn’t turn my head for a week!less is best

[@carolseiler4592]

Thank you Bob, thank you Brad. How generous of you to provide necessary medical information in a world that's reaching the point where soon you will be charged for the air you breath - only because it was left out of the equation before.

[@colleenepage]

Make sure your muscles are warm when you're stretching. After a workout or fresh out of the shower is a good time to stretch.

[@julesoftheNW]

God Bless you two! Emailing this to my daughter who got her stiff-neck propensity from her mama (me) Sometimes it's so bad we have had to miss work because we couldn't dress for work, certainly not drive a car...for days! You guys are the BEST.

[@reikoxan]

I am so glad i am subbed to these 2 cool dudes. These exercises relieved my neck pain i would get from sitting in a racing/gaming chair, down the right side of my neck at the back. i also felt a good stretch from the mid back too.. brilliant stuff

[@111ninus]

Thank you so much for this! i have fixed my neck to the degree i did not expect! May be it's not perfect, but it's waaaay better than usual! thank you

I had some shoulder pain . Following their exercises everyday helped to resolve my issue. I did this before I had my appointment with a physio therapy doctor. He have me do the same exercises ..aa this video

2:11 - I have been doing this for 15-20 days which gave momentary relief but over time , I felt my neck shoulder way worse & hence stop doing this few days back . Mind you I have straightening of lordosis & I realised I was doing the stuff which is why X ray had said so !

[@yazeedfallatah6941]

I did the chin tucking exercise while i was watching this video and the result was incradibly much better than before . even though i am a physical therapist my self , I did not think the chin tuck exercise is that effective but , I guess we should all remember to get an poinion from the experienced . Many thanks to Mr.Schrupp and Mr.Heineck .

[@spiritflower6640]

Thank you so much for what you do... to help people help themselves! grounded and wise advice you guys have!

[@marilynmarcelli270]

Those 2 stretches you said not to do removed a killer headache I had years ago, of course you don’t over do the stretch, moderation is the key

[@xpost92]

One thing people need to look for with a chin tuck is if you feel pain in your chest down into your armpit and arm you may have a problem with a herniated disc in your cervical spine. I was doing this for months without knowing that pain was from a bulging disc at the c6c7. After 18months of sever pain in arm, neck and chest it was concluded I needed surgery. With the scalene stretch lean flat on a wall it’s allot easier

[@josev1544]

really love your videos! also an exercise that helps me alot in both lower and upper back pain is a half minute plank position. either a full plank from the tips of my feet or half from the knee position. slowly build up to a minute.

[@djthompson1971]

Thanks Pete and Tom for the awesome tips

[@danielworden4695]

I did the chin tuck and w to y with my arms yesterday you guys where showing my neck has no ache this morning but I did sit on my recliner with a donut pillow around my lastnight but thank you guys I guess I'm just holding my neck down too much❤ you guys

Thank you it’s like you read my mind what post to do. Iv been having neck pain for the past week. 🙌🏽

[@Riddle.Monster]

I tried using the towel to stretch my neck and within 10 seconds I could hear sound muffeling, my face going all tingly and my vision blurring out to White. It was all my fault tho, I was trying to watch this with the volume down so I didn't catch the part about not pulling so hard, also my towel was kinda thin. Pretty sure I was putting a lot of pressure on the arteries in my neck, like i said, all my ba boo 8+ content and its been very helpful for help me fix this painful back and neck. Thanks and keep safe and healthy out🌞 there guys!

I wonder what they think of chiropractic, particularly NUCCA style. I visit one of these specialized doctors and after years of traditional chiropractic, I love this treatment.

[@robertvickers913]

Thank you so much for your videos! They are so helpful. You mentioned in your videos that if you feel light headed or dizzy that is your redlight to stop. can you please tell me why? Thanks so much.

[@sabrinatenney]

Thank you! The yoga stretches for my neck hurt. I have to be careful tilting back though....my neck goes snap, crackle and pop.

[@happyday868]

Switch to qi gong. Unless you learn from gurus from India a slight mistake will hurt you. Besides how can you relax if you are constantly search for balance ( well not for non gurus) and stretch to the extreme! Qi gong is simple, repetitive and your limbs are lifted by your breath not your joints if done properly. Also, Check out Paida and Lajin. I haven't done yoga for 10 years and since I switched, I have had no pain, high blood pressure and haven't taken a single pill. Learn acupressure. Bad stretching is harmful as mentioned in the video.

[@Negin_Mihi]

I suffer from chronic neck pain. Recently a personal trainer made me do the one at 2:08 and he put a lot of pressure, I told him it hurts a lot , but he insisted,.... I ended up with more pain after that. So he is no longer my trainer.

[@plzsavethebeez743]

First actual NEW video I've encountered! Nice!

[@jmc8076]

Before I told him watch your videos on neck pain was given an exercise by a new PT close to the first one to do and made it worse. Your info is helping great. Please do video on posture straps or braces and if they work. Husb MD suggested one but with no advice to stretch front chest area and strengthen upper back to help correct posture for neck pain. Heat can help too after to relax.

[@Conan_the_Based]

You guys have impeccable timing. My left neck muscles have been aching all weekend.

[@MyEnemy]

Same here, must've been all the turkey.

[@jt2553]

Did you get the chance to try their techniques? Did they work? I hope you found relief.

[@happyday868]

Go to the right side, identical and opposite to the spot where it hurts on the left side and massage hard. (You will find pain at this right side too. apply pressure and find the painful spot on that right side) after the acupressure it should kick out the pain on the left side. You should feel the relief right then. Do this 3 times a day. Never go to the spot where it first hurts. You inflame it more. This applies to any parts of your body. If left knee hurts, go to right knee....if both sides hurt there are ways. But usually one side hurts first. You wait...and it becomes chronic. You wait longer, it will go to your hips, knees...if you practice qi gong and Tai chi everyday, you avoid these problems. It is a chore and that's why most people have problems.

[@daveyt4802]

If I stretch my neck back it makes crackling sounds and hurts. If I don’t stretch my neck daily it gets stiff and I get pain in my shoulders. Great idea! Thanks! Love the chicken movement....feels great.

WOWW, Gracias!!

[@jojoscoulos]

My husband has a stiff neck. So these are the exercises I’m going to show him to do. Thank you so much

[@jmc8076]

Jo Scoulos My husb had neck pain for months and after PT failed he used info from Bob/Brad (BB) in diff videos and it’s much better. They’re videos helped my shoulders long time ago. A heat pack helped my husb’s neck too - 3x per day at first now at bed time (after BB exercises 😉). We just filled a long soft cotton sock with flax and rice and tied end with rubber band. Works a charm. But there’s great ones for sale incl BB’s. It only took a few weeks for really bad pain. Good luck.

[@Skorp-eon]

Thank you for these easy to follow stretches . My neck has been stiff going on two days now . I drive a forklift and turn my neck to my right when I’m reversing so the tension is on my left . Will update Monday night after doing sets of these

[@hazardeur]

just look to the left for each time you look to the right to balance it out. yes, it's gonna look pointless and stupid but you'll be glad you did it
