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

Over two years of neck and shoulder issues. Multiple doctors, no answers. Tears and depression. Thank you for helping I can do this on my own with out pain meds being thrown at me. ❤

DUDE I LOVE YOU!!!! MY NECK PAIN WAS SO BAD THAT I WAS GETTING VERTIGO GETTING UP IN THE MORNING!!!! TYSM

Needed this right now!

Thank you for always doing this 😊

Your videos with great explanations and exercises with descriptions are the best, thank you ❤

Thank you, Doctor Rowe!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Rowe!

Thanks Dr. Rowe. These neck exercises were really helpful. Will visit again. 👍

Your neck exercises and stretches have really helped me!

O my goodness! Thank u!! EXACTLY where im having issues.... Thank you!❤

So clearly explained with thorough instructions. Thank you. Your videos are always so helpful. 😊

Please never stop!!

Another pain reliever which comes in handy. Thank you!

This was me yesterday. Really needed that last stretch. Trying to do some of these in class, then the bus home. Once home, it was came on. I was able to reduce the migraine pain caused by shoulder and neck pain. Also used my shepherds hook to hit a few spots next to my shoulder blades. Excellent work as always!!

Perfect timing!

Thank you Dr Rowe for your help for us all every day. You are greatly appreciated 🙏🏼💓🫶🥰⭐️

I totally needed this. You had a hamstring video where you put a ball underneath your leg while seated in the chair and then extended your leg with your foot flexed . Both of these are very timely for me and helping me tremendously. Thank you so much.

thank you for these easy to do, exercises and most of all so well explained !

These are great man, much appreciated!

Thank you so much for your easy to follow videos! I have a great amount of trouble with exactly these areas and I will definitely be doing these stretches probably daily

I've had a horrible headache from neck pain for days now! Thank you for this info!!

These are great!! Again, some of them I instinctively did, some were partially included in some exercises demonstrated at my workplace years ago. But most were incomplete. You showed so many others and your instruction are so complete and thorough! I've suffered from severe, debilitating migraines and cluster headaches all of my life (even as a child) and many years ago doctors told me I couldn't help the pain through stretch and massage of the muscles in my neck, head and back, although it felt to me that I could get at least momentary relief. It only made sense to me when so many felt like they originated at the base of my neck and then moved up and over the top of my head, ending by wrapping around my eye. Once I'm in the throes of the headache, it doesn't help much, but if it loosens its grip a bit, I can lessen its new attack. When I can feel the headache begin to subside and that "migraine hangover" feeling start to set in, the exercises have helped shorten that period and short circuit any new headaches that might start up. Now that I have the full arsenal you've given us, I am feeling so hopeful that I can be even more proactive and lessen the magnitude and longevity of the intense pain. Gratitude doesn't come close to describing my feelings.

Wow, these are just brilliant. Thank you somuch, they really helped.

Definitely a downloadable video for me! Thanks Doc! Hope you're having a great day! Love from Washington State 💞

I don't know how you always have stretches I don't see anyone else do and they actually work, but please, keep it up! 🙏

Thank you so much. I am a chronic migraine sufferer, and for two days I have been with terrible cervical pain a subsequent migraine with nausea. I have tried most of these exercises and others from your cervical release video, and I feel relief finally! Obrigada!

Thank you doctor. Your videos are very helpful😊❤

Did all of these very carefully. Feel so much better now. Thank you!

Had pain in my neck for 8 weeks and the last 4 days I’ve been in agony. I watched this video yesterday and did the exercises and I still had pain but I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in a week and not woken up in the middle of the night in agony. The next morning the pain in my neck went from 100% to 20% overnight. These exercises really do work so please give them a try. Thanks for your help it was much needed and greatly appreciated. I will be repeating these exercises most definitely

Brilliant! Thank you!

Thank you very much. These are magical.

Awesome video. Helps a lot!!! Thank u again and again

Thanks!

Thank you Doctor I love and need these neck exercises been hairdressing for 42yrs and my neck and shoulders are continuously in discomfort! I've spent alot of money on massages and although it eases things at the time I needed something to do myself at home 👍 thank you for providing me with these moves fingers crossed they'll ease my pain 🤞

It's like you can read our minds and pain!! Thank you, you help my pain management so much. God bless

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I have been having pain and migraines for a number of years, but i can't believe how this has almost immediately relieved my symptoms. I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much 🎩🙏🤗

Thank you man, I've been having headaches, neck pain, and dizziness for 5 months now, and your videos helped me instantly relieve that pain. Can you do videos about how to relieve dizziness related to the c4, c5?

i really need that so bad !! Thank u sm ❤❤

Thnx for the tip south Africa

THANK YOU! That last stretch has helped immensely! I have been having issues with full range of motion turning to the right and that helped SO MUCH. IT still hurts some but I think if I stretch it out like that instead of just doing head rolls and such that it's going to help immeasurably. Thank you !

Thank you

Thank you very much very helpful

I irritated my upper traps when getting back into exercises after being out of the gym due to hernia surgery. These hit the mark!! Thanks

Did this during a migraine and it really helped!

Thank you so much. Instant relief for sure. ❤

That’s great!

Thank you Thank you very very much

TQ doc! 👍🏻

Much Gratitude 😊❤😊

Thank you! These videos are so helpful! I’m so tight on my right side, not left it’s bizarre.

Thanks

Have subscribed and watched countless of your fantastically useful and very effective stretches. Do you have a book that illustrates and describes these exercises. Again, watch your channel frequently. Please keep it going!!

I'm so grateful for this and all of your videos. I'm working through a migraine right now and when you mentioned the neck and the pain that goes all the way down the back, that's exactly where migraines start for me. Giving these exercises a try with patience and gentleness. Thank you!

These neck stretches help.

Hi, Im very happy that found someone who really helps and I would like to ask if you could do some videos for cracking shoulders (I dont have pain when working out), I think it might be something with rotators. And also I have pain in my palm under the pinky and in between of the pinky and ring finger. When I tried to strecht it, I felt that it was only worse for the moment. Thank you very much

Hi, thank you for your helpful videos. They've saved my days (on many occasions). My neck tension comes mainly from the way I sleep and the pillows I use, I guess. Is there a pillow height and shape that you can recommend for a person with narrow shoulders and a lightweight build?

Thanks doc! I actually got tingles going down into my legs when I tried that upper neck massage you showed. Too much tension in my life I guess! 😬

Dr Rowe I really appreciate your videos! Do you have advice on proper positions while sleeping? I always wake feeling as if I wrestled a silverback overnight.

I don’t know why I’ve never thought to seek help. I just went through these exercises and my headache is gone and feel better. Nothing helped. I work on my computer all day and my stress causes my shoulders to lift. Now I have these to do. Thank you so much!!!

Hello Dr., the stretch along the whole back, from neck to lower back, was phenomenal. Unrelated: Would you recommend some exercises for femoral nerve entrapment?

Absolutely fantastic video! Thank you so much for this. I've had neck and shoulder/neck problems for nearly 30 years, and have suffered badly with nasty headaches for the last 15 years. I'm 53 now. Noone has ever shown me these exercises. From the base of my skull down into my the back of my shoulders now feels all warm and loose, and so much better ❤❤❤

Thank u

I told you, you are the goat im literally on break trying to massage my neck! Do you have any videos for knots right on the edge of my shoulder blade?...its sending a shooting pain up the right side of my neck

ty

Any videos on activating/stretching serratus?

It worked

These muscles gave me headaches whenever I did push-ups at the gym. My doctor refused to prescribe me any form of manual therapy. Only after paying for a 2h Thaiwanese massage out of my own pocket I was able to get rid of it. This is invaluable wisdome, right there!

Wow. I had a stiff neck when I started this video. Tried a few of the exercises and the stiff neck is gone,! Thank you. I also saved the video.

I think my muscles were crying with relief 🤣🤣 Thank you!!

First af all thank you for sharing this exercises with us. I have one question about those neck pain releif techniques which you show - when I try to releif the erector spine muscle group I have started to feel tension and pain in my hip muscules - is this somethnig normal or I did it wrong the shown technique? Thank you in advance.

Will have to review this. I have right side headaches that start from right shoulder up the neck to temple. Hope it helps 😊

Those were very helpful since I'm having some neck issue mostly on the right side I do a chair exercise at the senior center every Wednesday I try to do every Wednesday got to go to eye doctor appointment today I had cornea transplants 3 and 2 years ago they did the right I then they did the left eye so I have to miss chair exercise today plus I have to miss my chiropractic appointment also that I do every Wednesday I had fell down and I didn't know I had hurt myself so bad a couple of months later I had the worst pain in my left side arm and neck it was fiery stinging electrical pain and I've been going since April of last year 2023 so this April will be one year I've been getting adjustments every week Dr Wright's a good doctor of sports medicine chiropractic he's been doing it a long time he's really helped me that's why I'm trying to do the exercise I want to build the muscle better to hold my spine better to help my conditions cuz I do have some you know degeneration in the disc compression from gravity and whatnot injuries I'm 63 I've been in 10 wrecks not my fault the last wreck made me disabled that was 2009 crushed both my wrist crushed my femur above my knee looking like crushed ice pack together as it was healing had two surgeries and a compound fracture Midway on the side of the left leg femur two surgeries one leg for 2 years in a wheelchair for 2 years they took phone out of my pelvis to add to my leg and some Dupont stuff to keep those bones together with bridging but it broke so that's when I had the second surgery and got its shorter plate in my leg and I think what you were calling the suboccipital muscle and it runs down along the bottom of your ear you know behind your ear and to the side that's really loosened up now and then he did do some adjustment to my jaw because it was off out of line and and after I first had the wreck because a man did a stop Roll On Me DR Haughton was my chiropractor and he had adjusted my jaw on the right side that was 2010 present day Dr Wright just adjusted my right jaw cuz my teeth were hitting wrong and I Grit my teeth 24/7 and then the next time I went he did the right side and the left side adjustment to the jaw and I still got a lot of tight right there at the jaw you know before the ear and then it was running down that long muscle kind of behind the ear unit down the neck around the back and over the top of the ear toward the temple where you were showing the red shading above the ear the ear so these stretches I can feel really good for that tightness thank you so much❤

Hi, so in june of 2023 I landed on my head 2 times, Epilepsy issue, and fractured my C7 disc which resulted in needing surgery. I now I have titanium inserted in my Cervical and I am still dealing with numbness in my left index finger due to nerve damage. I have been doing therapy on myself and I just saw your video. I am now going to add a couple things from your video. I was wondering if you might have any suggestions as far as dealing with the nerve damage issue specifically?

So because I'm dealing with so much tightness and soreness reaching back to self-massage is really difficult would love some suggestions for those of us that struggle to reach the backs of our necks and massage for very long

I tried to follow your steps here. Damn doc, all these muscles and bones were cracking and suddenly my headache was gone like it's not there anymore. It's been months of headache and stiff neck muscle. Thanks doc!

Can you tell me does muscle tensio affect ears and ear pressure? My left ear has been popping and tearing in every yawn or burb. Basically everything that makes pressure to ears.

Doctor, I'm having tingling/buzzing sensation on back of my top and middle of my head, feeling lightdeadiness and vertigo as well. How to get recover?

That first one helped so much 🙏

As soom as I perform chin tucks, i start feeling a really sharp shooting pain in my left eye. I am facing neck discomort for a lot of time now and unable to diagnose. Does chin tuck causing pain in left eye (like a optical nerve pinch maybe?) rings a bell, and what should i Do to fix it

Thank you Dr. Rowe 🙏 sending you gratitude and lots of love for your healing techniques 🩷💜 I usually got lots of neck pains and this video helps a lot 🙏🩷💜

Hi doctor, I have problem with my neck for about 13 years and until now no doctor can figure out what cause it. The worst part is the pain goes to my left nose and it is so disturbing 😢. Please let me know which part of neck muscle can effect the nose pain? The pain is only on the left side. Thank you so much. Best regards from Bali🌺

Could you cover elbow tendonitis stretches or treatment. For some reason I have had a sore elbow and tight tendon on the back forearm side that won't stay loosened especially at night. Thank you.

For the last wk, ive been having this "pain" on the right juggler?? That 1st stretch helped , just the bigger Q is why??

I think i need this... Why everytime i bend my neck to the right i feel that my eyes affected and feel dizzy and headache on rightside. I dont have ear infection what ENT doctor said.

I injured my neck yesterday so badly that I almost couldnt work out, now this shows up in my feed. I dont know if im really lucky or if my house is bugged

😢Doctor I was having so much pain in my vein between elbow and wrist I used hand gripper I am suffering form that pain from last 4 days 😢 even i doesn't used hand gripper i think that maybe a pain of vein upon vein pls tell any exercise to adjust hand veins in their right position or any solution 😔

In my neck I have had it exrayed. I was told that there's a narrowing of the spaces. Something like that. Is it safe for me to do these exercises to relieve muscle pain. What exercises are safe to use to strengthen the muscles? I'm in my 50's and finding it difficult to exercise etc.

What to do when thrre is a lump that causes pain at the base of the skull? Idk if it is a cyst or a muscle knot. Pain and ha gets worse with touch and movement of the neck.
