You're a miracle worker. I discovered your channel yesterday with a short version of the neck pain and tension from 2015 and it was AMAZING. Then I saw this one and did it as well. Both did an incredible job; I have a small hernia on C6 (or C5, I never remember which one) and adding to my workout (quite smooth) my neck is always in pain. I just came from 2 very hard weeks with 4 massage sessions. I'm so glad I found your channel; you are so nice on your videos and doing well to so many people. Thank you so so much!
i’ve been dealing with dp/dr and a major wave of depression for about 5 months and i hadn’t watched your videos in so long i forgot how much they help. i didn’t realize how incredibly stiff i was before this. it really helped thank you.
you're wonderful! as a massage therapist i love your videos! i run tight! and i could probably spend more time doing this than being on my phone! Id certainly be a lot happier. :)
This is why I moved to speech to text. That way I can hold my neck up straight. I’m not even typing this comment! But I could always do with a neck massage due to other stressors etc. So thank you. I hope you’re doing a lot better now too?
I feel crunching sometimes in my old stiff neck...doesn't hurt..the self massage feels real good...what is the crunching sound...could i break something... tom
This is another truly special gift to me Rachel, thank you very much for your help! I started to be conscious about having a forward head posture a few years ago. I think it started during my teen years as for insecurity and low self-confidence. Personally I noticed that it also helps a lot to take care when we we're walking on how we distribute our weight
I'll be sure to do some more short videos. You can also take one or two of your favorite techniques and do them on short breaks throughout the day, rather than practicing the whole video at once.
I'm finding myself leaving a comment on every video of yours. You're really really good! Thanks a lot for helping all of us. Is it okay that I'm combining a couple of your videos and doing them together?
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It means the world to me. Yes, it's fine to combine videos and find what works best for you. Just listen to your body and make sure everything is feeling good :)
Wow! This massage is amazing, thank you! I have osteochondrosis, hyper-movable vertebrae and bad anxiety, so I have frequent and severe headaches and neck pains. This massage helped a lot! How often can I repeat it during the day?
So glad it helps, Daria! If once a day is helping, try doing it twice a day, and see if that increases the benefits. You can also try doing a few different techniques here and there throughout the day. If you feel like your neck is getting irritated, just back off a bit.
WOW!! You are a God sent. I had a headache before starting and I now I feel great! Thanks so much for what you do. Are there any massager that would help Myofascial release around the neck that you'd recommend?
I'm so glad it was helpful! Are you asking about a massage tool? It's a bit tricky with the neck, because it's such a delicate area. You could try a massage or lacrosse ball either against the wall or lying down face up, but you'll want to learn how to use it properly first.
