I'm a habitual side-sleeper so neck pain is pretty par for the course for me. It's been a bit worse lately since I spent a week sleeping on the floor. I'm back on a bed, but my body just isn't keeping up. This is exactly what I've been needing. Edit: Also a full time college student so a lot of my time is spent bent over my books and notes. It definitely doesn't help either.
@BIGFOOOOOT True, however if we were all doing manual labour all day we would probably end up with shot knees and shoulder pain. At the end of the day, everything wears you out one way or another.
I can't believe you respond to comments on a 10 year old video! That says a lot about you being down-to-earth, as a successful UA-camr. I just wanted to say these exercises have aided my meditative practice. I've loved reading in the comments all the injured/recovering people who have benefitted from the exercises. For me, it has helped focus more on the moment. It's weird realising how much stress is stored in the neck. You rock Jo
I've had awful neck pain for about a week now, leading to some really bad headaches and migraines nearly knocking me out. I did these stretches, and the pain left so quickly. Not immediately, but within a good half hour or so. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
@@Ponychick224 I'm glad that you have recovered successfully. Could you please tell me exactly what you did and how long it did take? I write a lot of code. So, probably due to bad posture, my neck hurts, and mobility has also decreased. It's not too bad, but this pain is not letting me focus on my work.
These are so simple and so effective. I do them every day. Also I friggin love the way you refer to your dog as an assistant with a completely straight face 😭
IK MY NECK FELT SO GOOD sorry for caps but i’m so happy i have dealt with this for 5 years i and it since i was FOUR! so i’m glad i finally found out how to fix it also if it still hurts a bit pull a towel over the bit it hurts and just try pulling your neck forward hope that works!
Thank you, I have been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for years. This is the first video I have seen for shoulder relief for hunched shoulders. I feel 100% better after doing this exercise.
@@TeamDazu every once in a while i get some neck pain, and i always rwmember this particular video :)) Pain is classic now, that day i had something awfull..
I personally hold all my stress and emotion in my shoulders, and have cried when getting an especially good shoulder rub. Just got some painful whiplash and needed good neck stretches but really couldn't find anything comprehensive and beneficial, realized that physical therapists would probably have really good stretches. Thank you so much! I added a scarf to push my stretches and it was perfect, I almost want to cry about how good my neck feels and will feel the more I do these stretches ily
Thanks Dr. Jo ! Have had chronic neck pain forever. Your exercises have made a dent in the pain. I'm a very stiff person, so it was not easy, but I have done these exercises twice daily for about five days and am definitely feeling better for it. My neck was soooo sore, I really could barely do these exercises but, I persisted and, I'm optimistic about the future. Your exercises are not easy but easy to understand and your "bedside" or shall we say couch manner is so comfortable and you come over as the kind of person I could really trust. Your cat certainly adds to the calming feeling of trust : )
thank you so much. I woke up this morning feeling serious tension in my neck (first time my neck hurt) and after trying these exercises i feel way much better.
I’ve had unbearable pain in my neck from carrying around a very heavy backpack all day. These stretches helped SO much! Thank you thank you thank you!!! ❤️ 🙏
I made my mom do these when she had really severe neck shoulder pain that couldn't be relieved by any other exercises but only yours could made her feel a little better. Thank you so much Dr.❤
Here I am again Dr. Jo. I absolutely healed a bruised rotator cuff using your videos. I send other folks to your channel all the time. I'm having a horrible neck pain which I think if Arthritis but I'll find out next week for sure when I visit my doctor. I'm going to go ahead and start using these stretches in the interim. I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Hi. Thank you for uploading these exercises. They're like a ray of hope during tough pain times. Is it normal though to experience a transfer of pain to other areas of your spine and shoulders including shooting pains or a lasting sharp/burning back pain or tingling/murmuring in your foot and leg after doing such exercises? Would they disappear after continuous stretches or are they signs that you need to stop? Thank you in advance ❤
Yesterday night I was unable to sleep due to severe neck pain . After watching the video and doing the exercises it helped me alot and I got relief . Finally I was able to sleep peacefully at 4am . I have downloaded this video in youtube . I don't have words to thank you . I wish you lots of happiness in your life. ❤️❤️
The doctor that gave birth to me, tore my left clavicle muscle and I have been having problems with my neck my entire life. I have been doing the excercises that you showed at the begining but OH MY GOD, the last exercise helped me so much. I have been in pain the whole day and now thanks to these excises nothing hurts any more. Thank you so much, you truly are a life saver ❤️
Thank u dr.Jo awesome and helpful vids as always ! You have a nice character I think ur the greatest dr ive ever seen. Tomorrow ive a test for med school and I had like 18 hours non stop studying that's why i came here, wish me luck
Thank you so much for this! My neck was killing me for nearly a week til I finally went looking for neck exercise vids and found yours. Those last 2 stretches made a big difference! Just 1 question; how often can we do these exercises in a day?
Video: *8 years ago* Comments: 1 year ago, COVID Jo: is still helping people out in the comments But seriously, thank you! I just watched another video from you for pain in the back and it helped so much, so I also did the neck one from you. They both worked really well! Thank you!
Hi dr.Jo I'm having pain in my lleft back of the head more than month i did a MR of brain and it shows me nothing i did some massage it help me a bit but i still have nonstop pain in my head. please can i have your advice!?
Thanks Doctor! Got immediate relief after doing this routine twice. Sitting in front of a computer daily for 9 hours causes me frequent neck and upper back pain and these exercises are a great help.
Ive been feeling a discomfort in the back of my neck for weeks, i assumed its bc i do online school and im always on my computer or looking down at notes. The last exercise i felt a pop and felt instant relaxation. Thank you so much😭😭💞 how often should I perform this? Ive had discomfort for 2 weeks now
Vinindu Sachintha We call those chin tucks. I have several videos talking about them including my computer posture video. If done properly, they do work really well.
Put out your pillow in the sun and let it absorbs the heat about 45 min then place it under your neck take a nap with straight body&head position on your Back this will do the trick.

What if you feel pain when you do it? Still keep going
It depends on what your specific diagnosis is.

Thank you Doctor Jo 💙
We're lucky to live in a time where we can just look up stuff like this.
I have the same thought everytime I look up any kind of tutorial :0
Ultra Underrated comment.
I rarely give those out to anybody
So true! 👍🏼
@BIGFOOOOOT True, however if we were all doing manual labour all day we would probably end up with shot knees and shoulder pain. At the end of the day, everything wears you out one way or another.
I agree completely!
Last stretch was magic

I’m scared to do these stretches🤣
Congrats on 1 million!!! You stated true & you're here now. Keep up the great work!
Last stretch worked the best
Glad it helped.
probably was last for a reason.. mine was so tight, all that initial stretching was probably very necessary to avoid injury..
Yes last one was the perfect one like KO.
Was very motivated to get in shape and work out but after 5 mins of it here i am
The last exercise is what I needed!!
I spend the whole day on my laptop, online courses problems!!
