Is there any way to self release a fixed L5 - S1 facet joint? I need to visit my chiropractor each week, and actually the joint is stuck again within a matter of days.. She uses a Thompson table. (I play golf that probably doesn't help). I also have degenerative disks at a.o. the L5 disc, which could be the cause of the fixation in my opinion. I live in Europe and follow your videos! Highly appreciated!
When I was around 20 years of age, I was doing bodybuilding, playing American Football and building houses here in Germany. I got pain from the back around to my heart. Mostly in the heart area. So I was concerned about it and I went to the doctors ... for 2 weeks. Nobody found anything. My father at the time was a truck driver and was 2 weeks on the road at that time. When he came back I told. I didn't even fully explained him the problem. He just asked me to turn around, put my T-Shirt off and he starts to massage my "Trapezmuskel" (Trapezius muscle). The pain was gone after 5 minutes. A truck driver knew more than all of the doctors. 😁
I had/have the exact same problem. I thought I was having minor heart attacks or angina it was so painful. Turns out to be trap/back issue. I still have it but as long as I watch my posture, stretch and work out the kinks it's manageable. I saw around 8 different doctors and every one had a different diagnosis and therefore a different treatment, none of which worked at all. Never put faith in someone just because they have a title or a degree. Some were quite frankly useless, and the best relief and advice Ive gotten are usually from 'unqualified' people who have shared the pain or know someone who has. Sometimes it's just best to leave doctors out of it as they only treat symptoms, complicate it, or get it wrong altogether. My first doctor chose to treat the pain and not the cause and I became hooked on painkillers for years, while he did nothing to find an actual cause or cure for the pain. it's hard to find a doctor today, especially one who actually gives a shit. Glad you found some relief my friend!
@@Lovegun. Thanks. Hope you are doing well. And yes, good doctors are hard to find. One example, if I may: when you are doing your yearly check-up with an EKG and the doctor finds nothing. Fire him at the spot. With the EKG you only check the front of the heart. Not all the other sides. Dick Butkus, yes, the one and only, took after his career every year an EKG until he became a heart attack. Search the net for it and read his story. And you will find that there is only one method to check your heart completly.
@@stanlibuda5786 oh damn. That's something I will look into for sure thank you. Ive only had one EKG before, and although they said my heart was fine, the rhythm was TOO steady and solid. I had no idea what that meant and it wasn't explained to me when I asked. I've had many experiences in Dr offices where medically they obviously had degrees etc,, but common sense and logically, they were atrocious.
i have been in constant chronic pain because of arnold nevralgia for 4 years. Almost can't move, can't drive. Drugs to keep me able to work. My whole life out of work was dedicated trying to find a way to get rid of the pain. No social life, no hobbies, no friends, just me trying to get rid of the pain. I've seen physical therapists, even neurologists, but nobody could help. Stress makes my upper traps very tense. The exercise you showed made the pain go away for the first time in 4 years. I'm a grown man but crying tears of relief. You have no idea what this means to me. thank you !
Do try to look into groups on social media dedicated to your problem. That way you can find a support system that understands you. :) Also, look into ayurvedic massages too.
WOW!! ABSOLUTELY WOW! Over 10 years of muscle knots in the upper traps, crazy tension headaches, thousands in physio, and God helped me to find this video...and muscle knots gone in minutes. Thank you thank you thank you for making this video. May God bless you, your family, and your career.
Belly laughed when I read this. Actually laughed thinking what BS. I've been suffering for years with my shoulders, doctors dont help just want you on tabs. Tried the first 2 exercises and them to alone felt amazing. Like unreal. So your definitely right with what you have said. Can't believe it to be honest
Me too mate, 12 years for me and now I started believing in God again, I was going through boxes and boxes of pain killers a week to help my headaches and now I know it was all because of muscles knots/injury to my upper traps.
I’m a T2 paraplegic and I have scoliosis in my upper back. I’ve had upper back pain all my life and have seen many specialists over the years. I learned more about how to relieve back pain in this video than anywhere else. Thanks.
Wau what the hacks ? Im a dancer and I got problems with my Trapezius on both sides two years. I got so much pain for the last days and I just find you, tried it and it helps me more than anything else till now. You are magical. Keep up, people need you.
I can't thank you enough. 1st for relieving my pain and 2nd for saving me so much time and money. I want to let anyone who is looking and curious if this works it indeed does and he deserves our support. Thank you again
I'm suffering for years now for some back shoulder and arm pain that keeps coming back. I ask God to give me guidance and discipline and healing.🙏🙏🙏 Then I saw your videos @Dr. Rowe 😃😃😃 I know this is God's way to cure me and use you as an instrument to help me relieve these pains. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much Doc in advance. 😃😃😃 God Bless you more as you blessed others by teaching and guiding us to heal ourselves naturally. 🙏🙏🙏
You are seriously a saint! You've helped when i had tendinitis in my big toe, you've helped with my TMJ, and now you're helping me with a pulled trapezius muscle!! Much hugs to you 🫂
This was one of the most helpful videos I have ever found on CZcams. I’ve suffered from migraines for years, my neck and trapezius muscles always get extremely tight on the right side of my body. I could never find a decent set of exercises and stretches to help with the pain. Today I watched your video, and from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU! The amount of relief these exercises and stretches brought me is hard to describe. Again, thank you.
I've had trap pain for many years and am completing a 6 week PT regimen next week. But you always present the most useful and best therapy, stretch and feel good routines at the right time. You are so appreciated Dr Rowe.
My sports medicine doctor said to have one of the athletic trainers “unlock” my traps. I haven’t been able to do that, so I was looking for ways to do it myself. I stumbled across this video, and I’m so happy I did. When doing the first exercise, my traps immediately relaxed! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you, Dr. Rowe for your help. It's nice to know I can simply open the browser in the comfort of my home and help myself with those exercises you share on almost daily basis. This means a lot to all of us. You rule!
I’ve been doing your neck pain video every day for about 6 days now, neck pain has been completely gone but still had some trap tightness so I did this video. Traps are completely loose now. Amazing. Thank you so so much!
Dr. Rowe you are pure example of AWESOMENESS!!! For last 3 years I am dealing with pain I didn't understand, massage, chiropractor helps for one day, but until I started following your videos I see a big change/improvement that lasts. ❤️❤️ So thank you thank you for your greatness.🙏 Now I will always carry you with me wherever I go 😅😅
Thank you Dr Rowe!! I don’t often comment on videos but I just had to for this! I woke up with an unbelievably stiff and sore neck/ right shoulder on vacation and have been in so much pain all day barely able to move my head, and wow this helped! I thank you so much!! It gave me some relief to pain & movement back to my neck and I hope for it to be fully 100% better tomorrow. Thank you again! ☺️☺️
For the past few weeks I've been experiencing pain from the neck down the trapezius to the side of my shoulder blade I've been having massage. It helps a little but I found your video and just these exercises really eased the pain and helped. I'm going to continue them. Thank you so very much!
Doc, this was IT!! Thank you so much. I've been trying to find ways to stretch and streghten my upper back for two months now. This hit the spot EXACTLY! Saving this video.
Wow. I’ve had a busy two days and my shoulders and neck were killing me. I did this video and I’m amazed at the difference I feel. Thank you for all you do.
Omg this is better than my $25 (30 minutes) visits to the physical therapist. I was involved in an ATV accident in may 2022 and I have neck and back pain.These stretches are pain relief. Thank you 🙏🏼
8 months with shoulder pain when raising or lifting. Severe pain when I touched near the cervical spine when in certain positions. I think this developed by phone and computer job use. The very first upper trap release... instant relief and change. You have no idea how grateful I am :) Thank you!
I can’t thank you enough for this video , as a college student who works at a warehouse part one doing heavy lifting .Th is video made me not have pain for the first time in a year ❤.
You're always my go-to whenever I feel muscle pain, and it works wonders every time. This time as well, 3 minutes in the severe pain I had mostly went away, awesome!
Life changing for me -- without my chiropractor 2 years now, and I am a former gymnast, comp. cheerleader and ballerina --- all of my chest, neck sides, back of neck, shoulderblade muscles cervical area/back of spine/oculus points, and up to my crown has been unbearable with increasing frequency of Migraine w/ Aura sick days --- this is going to be a daily one for me!
OMG! these are so good. I've been feeling trapezius pain for so long due to long hours spent working on the computer. i need to go on for another few hours which felt impossible but these exercises really released a good amount of tension from my neck and upper back. Thanks a ton for sharing this.
Great video thanks! Please consider having a version where the viewer can follow along as you do the full exercises - 1-2 reps, both sides - like the HIIT, yoga and other exercise videos. I know I'd watch & do videos for traps & SI joint pretty much every day.
So very glad to find this video after a couple of weeks of pinching, burning trapezius pain in my upper left back. Going to do these until Easter Sunday every day, then afterward a couple of times per week. Hopefully this will build the strength and flexibility I need to not have this awful pain again. Thank you very much Dr. Rowe!
Wow!!! These exercises are a must do for swimmers! I competed in college 35ish years ago and these exercises are better than decades of PT! You rock, thanks Doc!
This works. 💯 Thank you! I've had an ongoing problem with lower right side trapezius, and until now I usually just press the knots in my back into a door frame to get some relief, though it's not perfect because the muscle lays under the scapula. The exercises in this video are far more effective and less painful! 😊
These exercises are so helpful! I am having trouble breathing in and out sometimes due to those muscles being very tight. Doing these exercises really relaxed my muscles and helped me breathe properly again! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🙏🙏
You touch exactly on my situation,And I love how you give so many of exercise So I can identify exactly the place need to be wore out Again thank you so so, it is such a relief to know that you exist and you can help us so much🌻🙏☀️
Greetings from Karachi. I'm so grateful to have found you. I've suffered from this pain for three years -- done physio, Chiro, yoga, strength training, rollers etc. but I found so much relief after doing this set. Thank you.
Thank you these really help. My pain varies in intensity and some days luckily I don’t know why but I don’t even have it but when it is bad it is really bad to the point I feel that I have to lie down. It also sometimes makes me anxious me that I am having a heart problem since it is always on my left side although I know that’s not the issue. Bottom line is that these stretches help and I will have to force myself to do them on a regular basis. Thank you
Been having trapezius muscle pain on the right side for about 7 months now. I sneezed super hard and that was all it took for my muscle to spasm and send shooting sharp pains up my neck, down my arm, and through the right side of my back. I've seen chiropractors, had several deep tissue massages, and taken muscle relaxers to ease the pain. Found this video today and tried the stretches, range of motion has improved and the muscle feels more relaxed than it has been in 7 months. Thank you!!
Dear Dr. Rowe. You are the best of the best chanels of youtube! Good looking doctor with calming voice and helping from pain to all people over the world. And also I appreciate how you explain the problems we have. All colleagues from our office already watch your videos. 😁😊 Thank you very much from Czech Republic
Thank you for publishing these stretches and exercises. I've been doing a lot of research on how to relieve this part of my back and neck. These are working the best.
I came to work with the pain from my neck to my left shoulder blade, couldn't tilt my head to the left at all. Just after the first part, now I can at least move. big big THANKS!
This was sooooo helpful! I would love to save this to my playlist! I've been having so much pain in my traps for years and this was amazing. Thank you so much!
I hurt my trapezius muscle (not sure if it is torn or not) but I found this the other day and I have been practicing these stretches slowly and it has helped me so much! Thank you for all that you do! You are great at this!
The acute pain at the base of my neck stopped hurting immediately after completing the first exercise and pain in the shoulder diminished enough that I no longer feel like I have a two ended fork connecting my neck and shoulders! Bless you for this!!
My traps were so tense, I barely managed to turn my head during the first exercise. A few repetitions later and it's just fine. My pain is mostly gone, too. You're my hero, good Sir! Thank you so much for uploading these!🙏
This is a great video, as all of yours are. The exercises brought some pain, but omg what relief! Traps were pulling on my neck something terrible. Thank you my friend!
I truly feel very blessed and grateful for your videos and that I was lucky enough to stumble onto them. Thank you so much they have really helped me ❤. I have read in the comments of people being in pain for years and years not being able to find any solutions. I have found you after a year or so. Thank you God and thank you Dr Rowe 🙏🙏🙏
I am not sure what I did (honestly I started to feel pain from sleeping funny. Gotta love getting old.) It's been a week of pain, headaches, trying to use a massage gun to release whatever knot. I went to the gym and did shoulder exercises to warm them up and then used the hydro massage. Nothing has been helping and I'm even more sore then I was yesterday. I am desperate at this point. Decided to google search and found this video. Did the series of exercises and wow! I am still sore probably from my workout yesterday but the pinching and burning is so much better! Turning my neck doesn't hurt. I am sure it will take doing it repeatedly but I will have this in my back pocket to help. Thank you for the really good, clear instructions. It has helped immensely. ❤
I'm 30 and I've had this right side tension from my neck and shoulder for years, noticing that my body tends to lift the right shoulder into a really bad posture without me noticing, even when doing things that require a straight posture like cooking or teeth brushing. I've noticed also that the right side of my face is so much different from the left side. On the right side hair is less abundant, eye bag is much visible, puffiness on the cheek, and even the corner of my lip is lower vs the left one. This is the first time trying the exercise and I can notice a relieve. Will be doing it daily for the next two weeks and hopefully see an improvement. Thank you so much!
Honestly, I thought i had injured my back training at gym did these the pain just disappear. Thank you!!! I was freaking out going to keep doing these every so often.
I've been exercising since 6 years. Last year, I've been focusing more on calisthenics and got a little carried away while doing one handed pull-ups. I suddenly heard a pop and the pain was unbearable. Doctors told me I need to be away from exercising for atleast 6 months. After six months, the pain was totally gone. But when I decided to go into exercing again, I couldn't even give one push-up. I've been to many doctors, had many therapies, but the pain would only go away once I take Nonsteroidal pain killers. In this one year, it was hard for me to lose my physique that I built for over 5 years. Currently my workout routine is on and off, which isn't helping my physique. I can't express how much relieved I am by doing these pain relief exercises. The pain is just gone in one session. I can't imagine how better it will be after a couple more days of doing these stretches and exercises. A big THANK YOU!
Oh my dear god. My pinched nerve was relentless. I went to a chiropractor who leaned less towards manipulation and more towards cupping. Then ive landed here on your video, your a amazing. Followed step by step. I feel total release. I can sleep tonight. Thank you
When I use a tennis ball between my spine and scapula I notice that I feel something like a spasm in my neck down below my ear. Thanks Dr Rowe, you're the best!
I have tried physical therapy, a cervical pill relief pillow, hot and cold therapy, muscle relaxants, muscle relieving lotions, yoga, guasha and so far this has provided me the moat rwlief of all
This video was very helpful, I had thyroid and lymph nodes cancer and they removed it all afterwards I lost a lot of movement in my left arm it’s been like this for years. So some of the exercises I can’t do because I can’t hold my arm up or lift it pass shoulder height and I can’t cross it over my head at all the one muscle that comes down behind your ear to the back of my shoulder is so tight you can see it pulling like I’m constantly flexing. If you stand in front of me you can see my left side sagging down.
I had really bad pain in the right side of my trap. It had been there for a few days and it was starting to ruin my holiday. I tried out these exercises and the pain has reduced massively. Thanks for the advice.
I worked with a PT for 3 months to fix my upper left trap muscles-- which had a knot the size of a baseball embedded next to my C6. PT helped a lot but your upper trap stretch in the chair just unlocked my C6 joint - I felt it slide out of facet lock! Also doing jaw stretches while deep in that stretch helped a lot! thanks doc
Thank you Doc, I can finally go to work again! Where rest and medication didn't help, physical therapy did. This is the best PT video I've found for trap pain and the relief was instantaneous!

It wasn't an ordinary treatment. It was the hands of your loving father that took away all the pain. Respect 🙏
@@tayyabkhan5020 Yes, Mr. Khan. But the point was that not every doctor is good in diagnostics. Ask Dr. House. ;-)

Glad you're getting instant relief!
Me too! I was skeptical but nothing to lose so I gave it a hit .. it was magical
Agreed, this video is fantastic. I went from severe pain and headaches to mild pain, in the first session! Great video.

You saved my life. Thank you so much. You are one the best human beings on Earth. You're work is very much appreciated.
Nice exercises for neck hernia and neck straightening. Thank you Dr. Row.
Thanks for watching!
BEST VIDEO I have seen on this topic. I FINALLY had relief from weeks of terrible shoulder, neck and trap pain.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this. My trapezius pain was awful and only started to improve when I did exercises following this video.
Glad you're getting relief!
OMG! these are so good. I've been feeling trapezius pain for so long due to long hours spent working on the computer. i need to go on for another few hours which felt impossible but these exercises really released a good amount of tension from my neck and upper back. Thanks a ton for sharing this.
Great video thanks! Please consider having a version where the viewer can follow along as you do the full exercises - 1-2 reps, both sides - like the HIIT, yoga and other exercise videos. I know I'd watch & do videos for traps & SI joint pretty much every day.
Hit pause
Dude i swear he is reading my mind with these videos like how does the CZcams algorithm know I’m In pain.
Hope these exercises help!
It knows our age! Haha
Thank you doctor , I was suffering from lower traps pain due to workout and i felt immediate relief after your video

Doc dropping when i needed him most
Hope it gives you a lot of relief!
I love your videos. You save me on so many hopeless evenings where I am suffering in pain and noone is open. Thank you. I wish I lived in Michigan
Thanks for watching!
So very glad to find this video after a couple of weeks of pinching, burning trapezius pain in my upper left back. Going to do these until Easter Sunday every day, then afterward a couple of times per week. Hopefully this will build the strength and flexibility I need to not have this awful pain again. Thank you very much Dr. Rowe!
Thanks for watching!
Wow!!! These exercises are a must do for swimmers! I competed in college 35ish years ago and these exercises are better than decades of PT! You rock, thanks Doc!
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
These really help massively release the muscles. Will continue to do them everyday Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
When I have pain I already know that you help me and I always get relief. You are my go to for any and all pain. Thank you Dr. Rowe.
Thanks for watching!
This works. 💯 Thank you!
I've had an ongoing problem with lower right side trapezius, and until now I usually just press the knots in my back into a door frame to get some relief, though it's not perfect because the muscle lays under the scapula. The exercises in this video are far more effective and less painful! 😊
Glad it helped!
These exercises are so helpful! I am having trouble breathing in and out sometimes due to those muscles being very tight. Doing these exercises really relaxed my muscles and helped me breathe properly again! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much for watching!
Same!
You touch exactly on my situation,And I love how you give so many of exercise So I can identify exactly the place need to be wore out
Again thank you so so, it is such a relief to know that you exist and you can help us so much🌻🙏☀️
I tried this last night. In combo with your other exercises, my back pain has been reduced to almost zero.
That’s great!
Thank you for presentation 😌💪👍 I am always trying to relieve from pains and this is a very systematic approach.
Thanks so much for watching!
Greetings from Karachi. I'm so grateful to have found you. I've suffered from this pain for three years -- done physio, Chiro, yoga, strength training, rollers etc. but I found so much relief after doing this set. Thank you.
Thank you these really help. My pain varies in intensity and some days luckily I don’t know why but I don’t even have it but when it is bad it is really bad to the point I feel that I have to lie down. It also sometimes makes me anxious me that I am having a heart problem since it is always on my left side although I know that’s not the issue. Bottom line is that these stretches help and I will have to force myself to do them on a regular basis. Thank you
These exercises are very helpful to relief my pain at neck, armpit,shoulder & breast.Thanks sir.
You really saved me with this one! Immediately got rid of the majority of my lower trap pain with that slump stretch. Thank you sir!
when these small exercises bring great relief people cry out of relief, you are blessed , you are doing really great service
Been having trapezius muscle pain on the right side for about 7 months now. I sneezed super hard and that was all it took for my muscle to spasm and send shooting sharp pains up my neck, down my arm, and through the right side of my back. I've seen chiropractors, had several deep tissue massages, and taken muscle relaxers to ease the pain. Found this video today and tried the stretches, range of motion has improved and the muscle feels more relaxed than it has been in 7 months. Thank you!!
Great to hear that!
Being a truck driver this exercises should be very helpful Thanks Dr
Thanks for watching!
Dear Dr. Rowe. You are the best of the best chanels of youtube! Good looking doctor with calming voice and helping from pain to all people over the world. And also I appreciate how you explain the problems we have. All colleagues from our office already watch your videos. 😁😊 Thank you very much from Czech Republic
The ball in the sock one helped so much. I weight lift and been having this pain for months and I finally feel real relief Thank u so much 😭
Thank you so so much. A few minutes of doing your first exercise and you relieved SO much of my pain. I couldn’t function and you fixed it. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Dr. Rowe has the best videos on stretches and pain relief on the internet. Great stuff 👍
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for publishing these stretches and exercises. I've been doing a lot of research on how to relieve this part of my back and neck. These are working the best.
Fell so much better....i put so much tension on the shoulders..thank you so much ❤❤❤
I came to work with the pain from my neck to my left shoulder blade, couldn't tilt my head to the left at all.
Just after the first part, now I can at least move.
big big THANKS!
This was sooooo helpful! I would love to save this to my playlist! I've been having so much pain in my traps for years and this was amazing. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I hurt my trapezius muscle (not sure if it is torn or not) but I found this the other day and I have been practicing these stretches slowly and it has helped me so much! Thank you for all that you do! You are great at this!
Absolutely FANTASTICALLY EFFECTIVE!!! It's been over four years and five physical therapists. Finally some relief!
THank you so much. I have been wasting so much money on other practices and no one could tell me what was wrong. This nailed it!!!
It's 5AM and i couldnt sleep bc of the sharp pain, it still hurts a little but i can finally rest 🥲 tysm!! 🩵🩵 may Allah protect you ✨️✨️
The acute pain at the base of my neck stopped hurting immediately after completing the first exercise and pain in the shoulder diminished enough that I no longer feel like I have a two ended fork connecting my neck and shoulders! Bless you for this!!
Just 2 initial exercises did the trick. thank you so much. You won subscriber for a life
I can't wait to try this as I have been experiencing trap pain for months.
My traps were so tense, I barely managed to turn my head during the first exercise. A few repetitions later and it's just fine. My pain is mostly gone, too. You're my hero, good Sir! Thank you so much for uploading these!🙏
This is a great video, as all of yours are. The exercises brought some pain, but omg what relief! Traps were pulling on my neck something terrible. Thank you my friend!
7 years in the marines now I do labor you’re saved me for-real.. I love you 😘
You really can find anything on the internet! I had no idea I would be able to find tips so helpful one day 🙌
King among men. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching!
I truly feel very blessed and grateful for your videos and that I was lucky enough to stumble onto them. Thank you so much they have really helped me ❤. I have read in the comments of people being in pain for years and years not being able to find any solutions. I have found you after a year or so. Thank you God and thank you Dr Rowe 🙏🙏🙏
I am not sure what I did (honestly I started to feel pain from sleeping funny. Gotta love getting old.) It's been a week of pain, headaches, trying to use a massage gun to release whatever knot. I went to the gym and did shoulder exercises to warm them up and then used the hydro massage. Nothing has been helping and I'm even more sore then I was yesterday. I am desperate at this point. Decided to google search and found this video. Did the series of exercises and wow! I am still sore probably from my workout yesterday but the pinching and burning is so much better! Turning my neck doesn't hurt. I am sure it will take doing it repeatedly but I will have this in my back pocket to help. Thank you for the really good, clear instructions. It has helped immensely. ❤
Glad you found the video and are getting relief!
I'm 30 and I've had this right side tension from my neck and shoulder for years, noticing that my body tends to lift the right shoulder into a really bad posture without me noticing, even when doing things that require a straight posture like cooking or teeth brushing. I've noticed also that the right side of my face is so much different from the left side. On the right side hair is less abundant, eye bag is much visible, puffiness on the cheek, and even the corner of my lip is lower vs the left one.
This is the first time trying the exercise and I can notice a relieve. Will be doing it daily for the next two weeks and hopefully see an improvement.
Thank you so much!
I did the rhomboid video, and now this one too. I could finally crack my neck what a relief!
This one will go great with the rhomboid exercises.
Honestly, I thought i had injured my back training at gym did these the pain just disappear. Thank you!!! I was freaking out going to keep doing these every so often.
I've been exercising since 6 years. Last year, I've been focusing more on calisthenics and got a little carried away while doing one handed pull-ups. I suddenly heard a pop and the pain was unbearable. Doctors told me I need to be away from exercising for atleast 6 months. After six months, the pain was totally gone. But when I decided to go into exercing again, I couldn't even give one push-up. I've been to many doctors, had many therapies, but the pain would only go away once I take Nonsteroidal pain killers. In this one year, it was hard for me to lose my physique that I built for over 5 years. Currently my workout routine is on and off, which isn't helping my physique. I can't express how much relieved I am by doing these pain relief exercises. The pain is just gone in one session. I can't imagine how better it will be after a couple more days of doing these stretches and exercises. A big THANK YOU!
Glad the exercises are helping you and thanks for watching!
Oh my dear god. My pinched nerve was relentless. I went to a chiropractor who leaned less towards manipulation and more towards cupping. Then ive landed here on your video, your a amazing. Followed step by step. I feel total release. I can sleep tonight. Thank you
Thank you so much!!! I get horrible headaches at the back of my head. This is the only thing that actually takes my headaches away
When I use a tennis ball between my spine and scapula I notice that I feel something like a spasm in my neck down below my ear. Thanks Dr Rowe, you're the best!
Thanks for watching!
2 weeks into a 4/10 schedule in manufacturing.. This video and others on this channel are legit GOLD!
I have tried physical therapy, a cervical pill relief pillow, hot and cold therapy, muscle relaxants, muscle relieving lotions, yoga, guasha and so far this has provided me the moat rwlief of all
This video was very helpful, I had thyroid and lymph nodes cancer and they removed it all afterwards I lost a lot of movement in my left arm it’s been like this for years. So some of the exercises I can’t do because I can’t hold my arm up or lift it pass shoulder height and I can’t cross it over my head at all the one muscle that comes down behind your ear to the back of my shoulder is so tight you can see it pulling like I’m constantly flexing. If you stand in front of me you can see my left side sagging down.
I had really bad pain in the right side of my trap. It had been there for a few days and it was starting to ruin my holiday. I tried out these exercises and the pain has reduced massively. Thanks for the advice.
Glad you found the video and are getting relief!
I worked with a PT for 3 months to fix my upper left trap muscles-- which had a knot the size of a baseball embedded next to my C6. PT helped a lot but your upper trap stretch in the chair just unlocked my C6 joint - I felt it slide out of facet lock!
Also doing jaw stretches while deep in that stretch helped a lot!
thanks doc
Thank you Doc, I can finally go to work again! Where rest and medication didn't help, physical therapy did. This is the best PT video I've found for trap pain and the relief was instantaneous!
Glad the exercises are helping you!
Woah. This video is so good, we need to remove all the others.
