I want to know your opinion on chiropractors doing the twisting motion... I don't see how that's beneficial in ANY way, ESPECIALLY w/o an x-ray, CT or MRI.. they can usually do well with my back but I have to tell them to not touch my neck, repeatedly I might add..
Hello! Thank you for your great videos on neck problems. I've a lot to say about joint pain in the neck! But my question is this. If we have joint pains in the neck due to muscle or posture problems, what is the best way to "warm up" the neck for sports activities which make neck problems more painful. Rather than just rolling your head around on the neck randomly, and if we feel it's not the time or place to go through a full set of stretches such as in the video - how can we get the neck, or neck muscles ready for sport? Surfing involves a lot of neck turning and strain which really makes pain problems worse. Is the best thing to run through the routine in the video, the isometric or pushing stretches? How would you or how do you prepare your neck for sport of any kind? Thank you so much.
I have to add, I have a very old stretching routine I do at night to try and help with neck joint pain, I've never done pushing exercises, just tried it slightly- feels great, very very different! I really want to incorporate all your neck videos and do one longer routine. Really looking forward to doing that, thank you thank you thank you!
@@lincolnyeti Isometrics work great as a warm-up before doing sports activities.
Yes, I need to know if there's any way I can self-release the scoliosis I have. I have a hard time sitting or standing upright without pain and it affects my shoulder and hip (the way my body corrected.)
When my chiropractor "fixed" it, I could lay on my back with comfort and I didn't realize my back was the reason I hated sleeping on my back if that makes any sense.
I feel completely powerless and no position I get in is comfortable. I need relief. Please help.
I woke up with some extreme neck pain today and was thinking it'd just go away but after not being able to bear it anymore I searched for solutions, found this and after doing the side bending stretches a few times the pain was almost gone. Did it a few times more and now it's like I never had a problem, the pain, and stiffness, has fully disappeared. Simply amazing.
Glad you’re getting a lot of relief!
This is easily the best, most practical advice that I have ever heard/seen, when it comes to proper treatment of the neck. What I appreciated the most was that you took the time to first show what not to do then what you should do. I was pleasantly surprised by you using isometric techniques, in all four circumstances.
I feel like this needs to be basic training for every single human being on the planet. This is an outstanding video. The thumbnail is a definite attention-grabber and always puts a smile on my face, when I see it.
And thank you for all these excellent videos!! They've helped a LOT!
Happy to help, and thanks again for watching!
Thank you so much for posting this. I've been in agony the last few weeks with horrible neck and shoulder pain. This is the first time in weeks I've had any relief.
Glad it helped!
I have constant headaches which the cause is known to be from neck muscles. Though I alone got some of the exercises right through long experience trying to pin point the right spots and movements for stretching it efficiently, having this video not only confirmed the right stuff but added a little bit of finesse that I was lacking. Also learned more about what exercise really do, where , how and when should be used. It was very revealing as always. Thank you Dr. Rowen!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Dr. Rowe! Your videos are the best on CZcams, great instruction for correction of bad habits I think is biggest key to getting better. I cant thank you enough for what your back and neck stretching has done for me, simple but yet very effective!

I woke up with really bad neck pain this morning. I'm talking, I couldn't turn my head from side to side at all. I was doing some research online when I came across your videos. I've been doing the stretches every now and then all day, but I haven't gotten much relief at all.
I see so many comments about how these stretches helped people get relief right away, so I'm going to keep doing them and hopefully they will eventually help. This is the worst neck pain I've ever had.
Thank you very much for you super timely upload! I'm not sure what's causing the soreness at the upper back of my neck, I'm guessing either due to falling flat on my chin a week ago or due to pillow, whilst it's improving on its on over time but your methods are even better! Please keep up the great work! Looking forward to more of your videos!
Will do, and thanks for watching!
Outstanding. So helpful.

The neck twisting also causes *ligamentous* damage which can lead to an unstable neck which will manifest in lots of shoulder spasms, pain, and if severe enough like what happened to me, Meniere's Disease symptoms. It took several thousand dollars with prolotherapy treatment injections to fix it.
I’ve had really bad neck pain for weeks now and this video helped so much I feel great
Glad it helped!
Thank You 🙏🏼💯💛
Thanks for watching!
OMG this helps so much.

Thanks a lot, back of my neck had been bugging me for a week tried your forward bending and now it's stoppez
Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. In yoga they like to do the one with the fist under the chin and pushing all the way back which really hurt my neck. I was in pain for a week. I’m enjoying your videos thank you .
Thanks so much for watching!
oh my gosh! 've had the worst neck pain lately from studying and have been trying to jerk my neck. as soon as I did the armpit stretch I felt instant tension release - I literally gasped out loud and my ears popped! it was amazing lol
Glad you’re getting relief!
I had hurt my neck doing shoulders exercises with a weight a while back and since then one of the sides of the muscles of my neck right at the base of the skull hurts specially if i try to resist turning my neck and now i will be trying those other technics to try to relax and stretch the muscles
Excelent exercises.💛
Hope they help you for a long time to come!
I get from my doctor similar exercise for my neck, it simple. Set both palm on forehead and push back and make resistence in other direction. You can do same back, left, right side, from top and under the chin. What I also like to do, sit drive chin back and then rotate top of head toward shoulder, nice Pop relife
Great tips and tutorials for simple people! I wish you were in Greece so I could visit you to look after my back muscles and knots! However, you offer extremely helpful advice even from this channel!
Glad you found the channel, and I hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
@@DrRowe You explain everything in a very simple and understandable way and the exercises you suggest are really practical and have actual impact! Keep up with the excellent work!
Works like a charm thank you
Glad to hear that, and thanks for watching!
@@DrRowe watched and practiced too sir. Eased my pain in neck.
Thanks a lot.
Doctor, today I know that God guided me to your video. Thank you!! I live in Japan, where you can find -mostly good- quick neck massage places almost everywhere, and the same with acupuncturists. The massage and the acupuncture relieve the neck tension but only for a few hours. Your video is pure gold!! Now I can do it here at home every day!! Thank you and God bless you.
Sir thank u so much ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Dr. Michael "Take This 1 To The Next Level" Rowe :D

Thanks for watching!
Dr. Rowen, I suffer from Bell's Palsy. It has healed somewhat but my right eye really dries out and has difficulty focusing. I find some stretches really helps. Your video is really interesting. There is some really good stretches and exercises. Can you recommend any stretches and neck exercises that could help my eye sight? There is still some numbness on the right side of my face and neck.
Thank you for the video! I was wondering what it means when stretching doesn’t really help with the pain. I’m having trouble looking or tilting my head to the left, so I already can barely do any of these going to the left… but then when I do the ones going to the right, it makes it worse! What do I do?
I have neck pain after a fall injury and the pain has been lasting for 6 years I have neck crepitus and joint pain in my lower and my upper joints are there any doctors I can see besides chiropractors. this video is helping my neck feel less stiff
This video was helpful for me because i had dizziness, i was tired i thought i damaged my brain but it was from neck I think because after this video I do this and now I am not dizzy anymore but i have to repat this everyday
Aaahhh man what a feeling! Damn neck was radiating pain to my middle back and I was going crazy... did the first 2 stretches and its gone, daym! Been doing it wrong all this time... x)
Thank you very much!
Great to hear that, and thanks for watching!
Wow felt relief straight away. 👊👊👊
Great to hear that, and thanks for watching!
I take a lot of ibuprofen and acetaminophen throughout the day. I hope these exercises will help me to decrease these OTC meds.
Hi doctor, do you know what your problem you are the best stay safety
Hi there great videos I have a question donyou know of and stretches I coukd do having chiari malformation 1? My entire back, neck and head are stiff constantly and I'm in excruciating pain daily regards chris
Thanks for the video sir. Are these excercises okay for a person with C6 radiculopathy?
Thanks so much I want to go to the chiropractor less and fell stronger with your exercises.
Thanks for watching!
I wish there was an easy way to know exactly which of these I need the most, so I could focus on getting many reps done of just one exercise each day in spare moments, before adding additional ones. After years of chronic tension headaches and upper body tension, where nothing ever seems to help, and with a busy life and time management problems from other conditions (like adhd and a sleep disorder), it is very difficult to find time, energy, and presence of mind to build a strengthening routine. I tend to try stretches like this mostly while I’m already having bad pain.
🎉🎉🎉🎉wow ! Excellent relief 😮❤
Thanks for watching!
Adding the one at 6:00 to my normal neck routine over the sitting-on-the hand kind of method, definitely more effective! Been doing the armpit sniffer for a while too with the "next-level" adjustment - this can be done with a very gentle neck rolling motion too to get some extra stretch in the other parts of your neck. Focusing on these two in particular has yielded great results!
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
@@DrRowe what if you cant
Yoi cant turn neck to right side much?!
@@Razo20 wish i could remember the exact videos, but the stretch he goes over where you basically raise an arm, cover your shoulderblade on that side with your hand (doesnt gotta be the whole hand), turn your head away from that raised arm, then lower your head down towards your armpit. That one helped me a lot with overcoming one side being super stiff/painful, but just be careful and dont push yourself.
I repeatedly watched and practiced this video hopefully will help my hands paralysis.
Anyway, you provided many ways to sooth neck pain.
Please give us an update in a week or two.
i'll try this later .. thank u from philippines
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
thank you very much! i'm relieved...
These were incredible. Helped really loosen up my tight neck. Couldn't really look over my shoulder at all. Made driving painful. Quick question. On some of these, I get a zing of pain on the insides of my shoulder blade(s). Does this indicate I'm doing something incorrectly, or is it possibly just a cascade affect?
Do you have any cures or evercises to illiac crest pain.
I do everything you say not to do 😁 love that for me
