    Thank you SO much for this video! I’ve only been doing the first 2 exercises as I can’t lay on my side. But wow, the difference I feel in my neck with just those two is AMAZING. I have been getting searing neck pain and ocular migraines for quite awhile. Today is day 3 of not walking around feeling dizzy, nauseous, and wearing an ice cap on my head.

    Agreed!!!! Hope this truth does get louder. People are getting worse with stretching! And people are creating Cervical Instability. It's more than disc pathology, it's messing up mechano & proprioception. You hit everything greatly.

    Great video, good explanation and very good exercises! Thank you very much. Just want to add that the tightness of the muscles in the neck are not only a symptom. The autonomous nerve system is actually just doing its job as it tries to stabilize the instability of the cervical spine by making the muscles tight. I developed cervical issues two years ago and stretching always felt wrong and uncomfortably, despite there are so many videos out there telling you to stretch....

    Would this potentially help with eye strain, light sensitivity, blurriness in addition to headaches?

    Iron neck (in my opinion) would be more appropriate for an athlete or someone that does not suffer from chronic neck pain or instability. Chiropractic care is research proven to give short term relief but not long term relief. Some say "short term relief, long term dependency". Thanks for watching!

    Question: if someone has "Instability" say of Alar, Facet, Nuchal... Wouldn't this be the reason the muscles are already overworked? Thus more exercise would just continue the muscle degradation? Some with Posterior Atlantooccipital Membrane tears can't even look up without symptoms. OR - we have a misunderstanding of the real pathology going on. Can I interview you for my CCI Group?

    3 subsystems for cervical joint stability. The ligaments, the bones, and the muscles. We can usually overcome some instability by restoring the stabilizing muscles around the injured joints (they will often be atrophied). Strong research for a stability approach vs stretching.

They gave me exercise, chin tucks, upper fibers trapezius stretch, snow angel on the wall and mid back mobility -Y-I using a foam roller. But I noticed I am having pain doing chin tucks and and using a foam roller, it seems my neck pain is getting worse..

    Great questions and thanks for commenting. Cervicogenic headaches are a common side effect seen with dizziness. They are treated with the same exercise program. Stretching is still very common but very outdated. There has never been a good research study that stretching gave long term relief for cervicogenic dizziness or headaches.
