Hi, do you have videos on neck leaning to one side, due to shoulders on the other side leaning down...due to holding mouse and slouching tot he side where mouse held on desk? Would be so grateful if you could share any links to specific exercises to restore posture, and strengthen the muscles. As my collar bone on right side, automatically slopes down lower than left side, and neck leans to the left...as habit. Difficult to undo, as been this way for too long. Unsure what exercises to do, and gym work doesn't isolate the necessary muscles needing attention to restore the posture. Collar bone and spine developed a habit on leaning to the right, due to holding mouse on bad non-ergonomic desk, used many years ago, for many years. Only recently identified the problem causing the neck to lean left, compensating for the rightward slouch of spine...due to desk too low.

Working on strengthening while turning the head to look to one side was quite helpful. I also like the looking down with hands behind head one. This was really a helpful video as my right side is definitely weaker. Great explanations - thank you!

Really appreciate this and all your videos!!! I have been having chronic neck to shoulder pain on the right side most noticeable when I turn head to the right. I tried all the exercises and for sure my neck feels loser, especially after the side (head towards shoulder) resistance one. But the “root” knot or maybe alignment prob ??? still seems to be there so there is still pain -just feels like I have more mobility now. That’s some progress. I suspect my problem will take a bit of experimentation to relieve. Hard for me to tell which is the weaker side-the more painful side or the side with no pain ? It sounds like pain is not a reliable indication of the weakness spot. Could be pain bc the opposite side is weak, right ?

I will try each suggested exercise, very low intensity. Exercises have made my neck so painful before that I quit completely, then hurt later from the same tension and weakness. I will try again very gently. Thank you.

You are a Blessed Man. After 6 Months under Chiropractic care, Many massage therapist sessions, and trying other, well intended, content providers on KZread, Your wonderful video is the only thing that has healed my terrible neck pain, which has made me miserable for a year and a half.

How long did you do each exercise for? And after how long did you get relief?

After 5 days of doing this set my neck feels the best it has in years. SUBSCRIBED. Thanks for this.

I am 70. I got whip lash when I was in my 20’s, car accident. 10 chiropractors, several doctors and physical therapy twice. I use ice a lot for relief & sometimes heat. I do their exercises all the time. I have had steroid shots 2 times and of course rest. Lots of money out the window. I just learned more from you in 30 minutes than any of the others I have been paying & paying. You make sense, you explain what & why. Your easy to understand & nice to listen to. RIght after we retired we were setting around all day & evening, everyday . I thought no big deal. Well, it turned into a huge deal. I was lucky to get thru those falls with breaking any bones, but I do have a shoulder injury from my very first fall. My experiences with falling always embarrassed me so bad. It took a while for me to realize that I had lost my sense of balance. I started a class on balance issues but they were shut down due to COVID. Now 3 years later I have finally found some GOOD help. Thank you for all that you are doing for our older generation!

Thank you so much for those exercises! All helped, but I found my front neck muscles must be pretty weak. I will be doing those regularly!

WOW, just WOW! YEARS of neck pain, chiropractic care, yoga & massages when all I needed was your great advice. Can't thank you enough, these exercises gave immediate relief! ☺️

How does this have 26k likes with a million views. This effectively took out weeks of headache tension and made it disappear instantly. Thank you!

Have had a stiff neck for a couple months and have been to a physical therapist as well as watching different channels and your advice has helped more than anything else I’ve been told to do. Felt relief as I was doing them. Thank you for the help.

This literally relieved my pain as I was performing these exercises. Thank you so much.

That instantly sorted out a pain I couldn’t target directly. It has been years of on and off pain. Thanks so much!

Fantastically explained and extremely effective, particularly the resistance exercise for one-sided neck tension. I had tried the lacrosse ball previously without success. Thank you.

Will be continuing to do these exercises and stretches. Some of these I did already but didn't understand why it helped. Thank you for educating me!

I have both tension down the middle and on the left side and WOW. The relief is instant! Thank you so much for this video man , appreciate it.

All your exercises work wonderfully well for neck tensions and headache. Thank you so much.

EXCELLENT! I did all these exercises and it took the strain right out of my neck and shoulders. Thank YOU!

Oh my! I have never watched such a legitimate video in regards to correcting these areas! thank you 🙏

Stiff neck for several months, did the resistance exercises like you mentioned and it’s much better seconds later! Thanks very much!

Wow. This actually helped relieve some stress headache or that tension build up I get. I think I am going to add this to my daily routine in the morning.

The forward holding my chin ones are helping most with my neck dystonia right away. But I'm going to try these every day from now on. I had a feeling it was a matter of weaker muscles contributing to the discomfort and your guidance is helping me understand which ones those are. I'm so very grateful!

These exercises are so amazing. I wish I knew about these sooner. I found this helped the first time I tried them! Thanks!

All those exercises gave me immediate relief. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this. I have been suffering for years with neck and back pain. This has helped in one sitting more than all the massages and chiropractor visits ever have. Thank you again!

The concept of under-used neck muscles causing tension pain is genius! With the first try my entire body knows this is what it wanted. Thank you!!

Excellent. The result was immediate. Resisting helped A LOT.

Thank you for making these videos! I'm just starting to follow these specific techniques for my neck and shoulder tension. So far so good!

Wow I’ve been trying to improve my posture to reduce the neck and upper back strain I was feeling, and these exercises were very effective on even the first run-through I did while watching the video. Thanks a lot! You got a new subscriber here, I’m gonna keep these up on a daily basis until my neck is feeling good as new

I definitely get a lot more pain around neck and shoulder muscles than anywhere else. Great video! I never knew how to exercise the neck area like this so I generally have just been stretching and doing things like rolling my head around and doing shoulder rolls with a ton of massage which does seem to help. I just ran through these exercises and although just one set, I definitely feel some change so it will be cool to play around with. Thanks for another great video as well as not trying to act like hey "do this forever instead of working on the source".

Thank you so much. I had this terrible pain in my neck for a week and as soon as i did theae exercises it helped out alot .👍

Have had a stiff neck / shoulder for over a week, been really struggling with it. Just did all of these and I feel instant relief, which is a relief - feel at least 50 percent less tension. Thank you for sharing!

This is another example of how a medical diagnostic name is TOTALLY useless. Docs can give you a name for your suffering, but their "understanding" ends there. You told them "i have neck pain." Their solution was to say, "yes, your neck pain is called ON." Which is literally just another way to say "neck pain." It's like if I said, "I'm hungry" and you said, "Tienes hambre" and walked away. Just because they tell you same thing in a different lanuage/words doesn't mean they've solved your problem. 🤣

@@Uprighthealth I've been doing exercises like these for a year. I hurt my neck about 10 years ago, bulged c5-c6 and c6-c7 a bit. Nothing ever helps. Sometimes I can feel the stretching increase blood flow but it doesn't last more than a few seconds. EVERY doctor I've ever been to has been rude, ignorant and misinformed. They have refused to assist me, going as far as to hold my test results STATING MY ISSUES... then arguing with me that I don't have them. I had a digital copy of that test, I know what it said. She lied to my face *with anger*. Or I tell doctors about my problems and how I have no mobility in my neck and their response was "so just don't do that, don't move your head that way. sorry, do what you can". then lecture me about god and death. This has been my experience here in NC, USA for my entire 37 years. No doctor has ever helped me. They say stupid shit to me like "stay away from ginger ale. Your upset stomach is because of caffeine" even though it does not have caffeine in it whatsoever. or "corn has zero nutrients in it". Or my favorite example "you DO have X condition" then seconds later another doctor (who runs and operates that office) comes in - "nah no such thing as X condition". Then the specialist walks in with that doctor and a nurse to examine me and then the specialist, in front of the nurse and the doctor who just told me what I have isn't real, states "yeah looks like he has X condition". WHAT!? then another doctor another date "yeah you got X". I gave up a while ago and started doing these exercises like the ones in your videos and they have yet to correct my issue. My neck hurts on the left 100% of the time. it feels like someone is taking their index finger, forming a knuckle and jamming it under the back of my head between my mastoid and styloid process bones. I have had digestive issues, body tremors when low on energy ( so I can't sleep), migraines, stuck in the ON state with my fight-or-flight, non-stop anxiety from my nervous system constantly firing and being out of sync with itself, nausea, no appetite EVER, constantly on the verge of vomiting stomach acid as it sits in my throat 24/7, inability to digest food properly... if you look up what happens when a herniated disc presses on your vagus nerve (wanderer nerve) you will see everything I'm dealing with. I have most of those symptoms. ever since I hurt my neck, my life has been a downward spiral and not a single medical professional has helped me. the one before the last didn't even know what a sprained neck is and pulled out a laptop to GOOGLE THE SYMPTOMS SO SHE COULD UNDERSTAND ME. This person was in her 30s and did not know what a sprained neck is. this is a doctor I'm talking about. It's a sprained neck, not some new virus that came to earth from a meteor. The last doctor I saw told me to go home, spend 5 weeks forcing my issues to become worse, then come back and show him the results so that it would be bad enough to convince him to help me. He did not. American doctors have failed me, my family, my wife and I give up.

I've been struggeling for months, and the exercices you provided gave me an instant relief. In 10 minutes i had less pain and dont feel as dizzy as before i did them. Thanks.

Oh my god. Dude, thank you! I am dealing with neck issues for years and tried so many things. Mostly I tried to stretch or massage these muscles. But it never came to my mind that pushing against my hand and use them would do the trick. I just always did the opposite. I thought these muscles were overly stressed from looking down and hunchback posture all day in front of computer/phone. It never came to my mind that they are actually weak from not being used. Your videos are so helpful and showing things that is opposite and totally different from what others teach. But it helps.

Just want to say thank you. Your advice helped immensely in alleviating my neck and shoulder pain. They began since I started exercising regularly and affected me emotionally. Again, thank you.

Fabulous as always! Much gratitude!!

This really helped me. Especially the exercise when rotating sideways. I'll try to do this as a routine, when I have headaches, and that's about every day. Thank you, for making this video! 🌞

Honestly, that's kinda magic. Had pain for ages, always thought I was sleeping wrong or not doing enough stretches, but this cleared up like 80-90% of the pain in minutes. Definitely going to work on having stronger neck muscles.

I regularly lay on the couch with my neck propped leaning on my elbow, often falling asleep like that. This act of repeated stupidity, regularly leaves me with a sore neck for days. This is the first time I have been able to do anything that actively reduced the pain, thanks mate!
