I am a senior, late 60's. I received thoracic spine series results about a year ago. It stated there is a generalized demineralization of the osseus structures. It went on to say - modest degenerative changes of C4, C5, C6, and C7 with narrowing of corresponding intervertebral disk spaces. Degenerative disk disease at C4-C5, C5-C6 & C6-C7. I was never given any exercises to perform to help me. I went to a MT recently for help. The husband of a friend. He prescribed this exercise for me. It is painful 'cause I am unable to put my head and back up against the wall due to the curvature. Watching your video has helped . Thank you.

[@codebushido]

Great explanation - you're very good at what you do. Thanks!

[@bonjazza]

brilliant ! clear, quick, SIMPLE !!!! what not to love. ? my posture so abominable, a miracle I can still move.... REALLY need this...

[@singwisevocals]

I'm researching for a book, and I started with this exercise because it is one that my chiropractor has recommended for me. Excellent job explaining the exercise and its purpose.

[@cinmac3]

singwisevocals i read some say heals should touch the wall?!

[@BodyAndSoulMentor]

Very well done. I use it myself and I'll recommend the video to my clients.

[@Kyle-jb7dc]

I find the difficulty is more keeping my head against the wall. Everything else I can mostly do with almost full range of motion so long as my head isn't pulled back. . pull my head back, and it's only moderate range of motion

[@anndemaret9746]

Thank you so much for this, it's just what I need. However, I am finding it hard to keep my head on the wall as well my chin pointing down. Any suggestions?

[@stevenji5805]

What’s the background music? It’s so calming.

[@matejchys]

when I go against the wall I cant bring my shoulders all to the wall

[@israelcanada8969]

This exercise is tougher than i thought

[@valentinagiusti8684]

It is indeed

[@anndemaret9746]

Yes, it looks so easy but its really hard to keep stuck up close to the wall . I only tried a few and the next day I was aching.

[@naniudai302]

whats the use of that angel exersice

[@Sahkatee]

Could you please tell me the song. It’s soothing

[@sarahnewton-hill4305]

I asked my daughter to video me doing this so I could make sure I was doing it correctly. she could not stop laughing at my triple chin. definatly working for sholder stiffness. but not flattering in any way. 50+ female

[@Kim-gh6hp]

This works surprisingly well. I did this stretch a few nights ago, not even for that long, and although my muscles feel a bit sore, I can already see the improvements. When I force myself into a rounded shoulders position, it actually feels unnatural. Thank you!

[@tomylim6022]

congratz!! may i know how much time a day and how many times per week u did? thanks in advance :)

Good video. I sense this being a problem in the future, with the computer/Iphone becoming too overused in the Western world

@@Hvpno Wow who would've thought that it got worse with smartphones becoming a regular thing (something we already knew since the early 00's). You lot are definitely the modern sherlocks down here in the YT comments!

[@roltol7539]

my left hand not touching how should i do then ?

[@pricklypear1111]

I can’t flatten my back and my arms won’t touch the wall

[@benhousten1211]

I'm grateful for the instruction. Not being an expert in physical therapy, I assume his information is good and accurate. I'm going to use this, and other videos on this exercise for myself. I do have a problem with the use of music by the video producer. I think it's unnecessary, and distracts from the content. The producer could also have worked out the instructor's microphone pops after recording. If you're going to the trouble of using a good mic, why not deliver a good sounding product?

[@rajkumarthakur8315]

pron vidio

[@my2cents2u]

FYI - turn sound off, turn cc on. Problem solved.

[@Mostly4Listening]

When I'm doing this, I can touch the wall with my elbows, but not my shoulders. What's my problem?

[@albertZweistein747]

Sounds like overly tight pecs... your arms (elbows) can still touch the wall due to the shoulder joint... (but I'm not a professional)

[@lynnaspektor3824]

is that Michelle?

Doc is having fun .. hahaha

I feel bad for her her eyes were screaming help me

[@user-tz8jk3ei1r]

누가 해석좀 해주세요ㅠ

[@thenit3vision]

등뼈를 벽면에 최대한 밀착. 목의 뼈도 밀착 시키기 위해 얼굴을 약간 아래로 틀어서 밀착. (척추 전체를 1자로 밀착한다고 생각하시면 됨) 팔을 W형태로 최대한 벽에 밀착한 상태에서 벽면을 따라 위로 올려줌.

[@lauramenzies9042]

I agree ...never touch a patient. I was taught that years ago!!!

[@fuegogrande4133]

If the roles were reversed nobody would have an issue. The guy is helping HER and all of us at the same time. Yall are acting like he's licking her face.

[@BudFuddlacker]

Little too touchy of the female

[@aishas5071]

I don’t like the guy taking liberty with the woman touching her here and there on camera. No matter what their arrangement is.

[@jd8226]

No one cares what you think. How do you know that she hasn’t agreed to be touched prior to the video? You don’t, you know absolutely nothing. So keep your shit boring, useless opinion to yourself you chronically offended cunt

[@LeiaLaureline]

The way he is constantly touching her is incredibly unprofessional and wholly unnecessary. It is obvious that the situation is very uncomfortable for her, and understandably so. It doesn't matter if you are a doctor or therapist; you do not need to keep touching the patient/client. And all of his instructions could easily be done verbally. The entire video is about physical dominans and intimidation through exploiting a position as a professional therapist.

[@alyssabeck5097]

[@gbpl1010]

But you have to admit she is a bit provocative with this outfit

[@warrengosling]

Did someone touch you inappropriately when you last did wall angels?

[@nitinjena5785]

Stop touching her ⛔🙄

[@pedropc5824]

Yes, that was unnecessary

[@anderpanders6210]

In some professions it's ok to touch people. Nothing sexual or inappropriate about it.

[@randolphpinkle4482]

@@anderpanders6210 It is true that we are hypersensitive to this kind of behavior, but he does seem to be taking advantage. I remember what a famous calendar girl artist would do with his female models to move them or adjust their position--he would use a small stick/wand. I think that is more appropriate. Unless touch is essential of course.
