29 years old and suffered from cervicogenic headaches for nearly five years - sometimes it's unbearable to the point it's almost like a migraine and I really struggle to get through a day without taking paracetamol. These exercises vary to the ones my physio gave me, but seem to be the only ones to help! So thankful, it's the first time I've had a bit of relief from pain!

I’ve had this pain for over a month and tried everyone video I stumbled across your video and tried the hot water bottle and slept with it inside my pillow and finally was able to sleep without a throbbing headache it calm my muscle spasms down today I will do the exercises- thank you I felt normal sleep lastnight

Suffering for years. I was told I suffered from "cluster headaches". all cluster medicine did not work, then i stumbled upon you. Thank you so much for sharing your professional knowledge. Just a few days in of carrying out your suggested exercise..finally a good night sleep weeks in the making. Thank you once again, your Professional and most ethical approach is nothing but stellar.

Best video on stretching for these types of headaches I’ve seen. I’m so grateful Thank you 😊

I absolutely love these! It's made such a difference for my chronic migraines + headaches. I'm aiming to do it daily, haven't gotten to that but even doing it a few times a week has helped so much!

I have a chiari malformation as well as facet joint arthritis. A radio frequency ablation caused permanent nerve damage in my neck. Recently these headaches are setting in so I appreciate this video!!

I slept on my neck funny and never realised it was this type of headache. This has helped a lot

Did you feel that pain again

I’ve had severe pain for a week now. Never experienced it before and started getting worried. Realised it was my pull-ups that I’ve been building up more and more weekly that’s possibly caused it. These exercises really helped so much!

You are simply brilliant!

Excellent video really well explained 🙌🙌

I have a herniated disk at C6 that is making the brain fluid get trapped which is giving me the cervicogenic headaches for over 6 months. I just had my third cervical epidural the other day. We will see. I do the exercises as well. thank you.

Thank you, thought it was ordinary migraines. Now when I feel my neck it hurts where you said. Thank you and hope it works

Do u suggest i do an xray to see. Thank u

Hi dear, I am facing severe pain especially in the lower traps muscles. The pain becomes worse in the midnight and morning. In the morning stiffness is so high that it takes 30 minutes to ready for stretching. I have tried different yoga and exercises as well but nothing is working out. Due to working from home, I need to sit 8 hrs daily on the table and chair that is increasing pain event after working out 1 hr in the morning and evening daily. Request you to please demonstrate specific exercises and posture correction tricks so that I can make myself fit again. I saw your previous videos and those were really great. Looking forward to see with these exercises video.

Hello, thank you so much for your comment. We would recommend a couple of things: 1. Definitely assessing your workplace set up to reduce the risk of soreness and injury: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kamFo8qdYNWxcqg.html 2. Moving using our desk exercise routine during the day every hour: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dnicqpRqmbvWZLA.html 3. If the pain is still persisting then definitely getting it assessed by a musculoskeletal expert for some hands on treatment with a proper diagnosis Hope that helps :)

I don't know if i have cervicogenic headache but whenever i sit and use my computer, While I was using the computer, my neck suddenly started to hurt and then it went to my head, and every time I finished using the computer, the pain didn't go away, I thought maybe it was the posture, even tho now I don't use the computer the pain is still here for a year now and i can only feel okay when it's early in the morning, I've started to exercise but sometimes I can't because it's really painful, I'll try this and I hope I feel better, thank you for the video! 

Looking for advice. I've been lead here becaause I have some symptoms of the Cervicogenic headache in regards to pain radiating over from back of neck and into my eye area all on one side, but I don;t have any sort of stiffness or pain around the spine at all. I do however get very stiff back muscles on my right side, just below the shoulder blade and a history of Subacromial bursitis on same side (treatment was pump me with cortisone and send me on my way). Headaches get worse when i've been using those muscles/areas more. I'm a gardener, so activities like digging and hedge trimming makes these areas more stiff on the right side, followed by the intense headaches on that same side. Doctors never seem interested for some reason. Headaches are occationally crippling, a sharp pain on right side of head over into eye area. Its such an effort to try to get doctors to show interest or run any sort of scans or test so i'm just asking here if youve any other ideas, before I go making demands. Maybe just tension headache?

Hello, thank you for your comment. Firstly, we are so sorry to hear that you are suffering with your symptoms and that it is impacting your work when gardening! We would be interested in the movement of the neck, shoulders and upper back as well as the muscles surrounding the area. Have you had your neck & shoulders assessed by a musculoskeletal expert or had hands on treatment? If so has that helped? As that would be our recommended next step to find the right advice and treatment for you :)

These all feel so great. Do you think it's one of those things like when exercising and you feel sore the first few times but it gradually gets better? I started these stretches for the first time yesterday and last night was rough but I am hoping that as I continue, my neck will start sleeping through the night. Thanks for these videos!

Hii! I have the same problems as yours, is your neck okay now I'm also having a tightness in the left side of my neck and the left side of my head especially at the top is also sensitive to touch, can u recommend what's the best remedy for this? 😢

I find that I get headaches like this all the time almost daily and they come on pretty quickly and can get pretty bad. Could it be the pillow I’m using? Stress? Weak muscles? I find that stretching can either make it worse or not make much a difference at all. It causes my eye to feel extremely sensitive, and it radiates out the side of my neck.

Hello, thank you for your comment, this is a great question but we are sorry to hear you are experiencing pain with your neck. Firstly we would recommend having your neck assessed by a musculoskeletal expert as without hands on diagnosis it is incredibly difficult to be specific with the cause of your symptoms as it is very common that their are multiple structures involved in an injury. Have you had your neck assessed by either an osteopath or physiotherapist?

I'll take it this is long term and it's not going no where , there's no proper treatment for this , so I have to suffer for the rest of my life now , can't go gym can't do anything anymore!!!

Hello, thank you for you comment. With any pain and referral from the neck possibly triggering cervicogenic headaches the presentation and causes can be completely unique for each person. The exercises we have provided is one possible way of helping symptoms but we completely agree this is not a blanket solution for everyone and if you are finding that these are not working for you then we would 100% suggest having your symptoms assessed by a musculoskeletal expert to provide either hands on treatment if relevant or other treatment solutions/ advice tailored to you as there may be other triggers/ factors or conditions impacting your prognosis and outcome :)
