THANK YOU for sharing this video with us. It is so easy to follow along with you. Thank you for helping us. I am new to your channel. I look forward to watching more videos. I recently have started experiencing neck pain. I am trying to figure out what has started causing this. I am thinking about going for an X-ray. My age is 62.

Hi Dr. 3rd concussion right now. Neck pain especially sleeping. Pain on right neck, shoulder, and arm. I’ve had pain like this throughout my other 2 concussions but since I’m experiencing my 3rd is pretty bad right now. The exercises you showed, the chin tuck doesn’t feel great but the extension back does. The chin tuck plus the side bend to the right feels good but when I chin tuck and rotate to the right kills me. Can you help me with some insight and tips? I am not working right now and don’t have benefits so I can’t afford specialists. Please help me help myself. thank you

What if it is in neck and right rhomboid???

[@janseyler9091]

When rotating, do you rotate towards the painful side or the other one.

Thanks. I'll give this a try. Can these sitting ones be done standing, too?

[@dr.christopherbethart5436]

Great question Leonard. You can do them in standing but keep in mind that it’s easier to compensate. You may end up moving your hips and low back instead of isolating your neck. Just be aware of where you are moving from. Your spine is a system and needs to move together but for the purposes of a stiff neck, I find sitting beneficial to start so you can isolate.

@@dr.christopherbethart5436 Thank you. That's helpful. do you have a practice, website, where I could reach you by phone?
