I did roofing and remodeling for 22 years and I put my back through a lot of stress and strain over those years. What I have learned is that even if you do not get any popping of the joints it is still better to do something than nothing. I have a lot of muscle tension in my lower back and I have to at least once a day do some stretches to help with that. I don't always get any popping but the tension relief is better than nothing. My advice is to do the exercises in this video at least once a day and you will be so much better off for doing them than not.

Thank you so much.! I've had horrible back pain since I was a kid, especially in my lower back, and no one has really been able to help. I'm almost in tears, my back feels so amazing. Subscribed and definitely going to keep using these. Thank you.
I had the same thing and they found part of the reason was I had a really scarred and full gall bladder which when removed I was so free and pain free that I went shopping the day after my surgery. No pain medication, heels and shopping bags all because the pain my back felt was so much worse than being cut open and having a whole organ removed!!
You cured my Sciatica nerve pain; as a contractor, for decades, my lower back has been a real hindrance as I enter my autumn years. I have no doubt these exercises will help tremendously... Many thanks for your selfless contribution to society...Good health, freedom, and happiness to you and yours...:)
Wow!!! Dr. Rowe is getting a great response. The video is only 3 days old and already viewed 130000 times. In fact, I think my Chiropractor has cheated me by not teaching me this stuff. I have already got more results in one day than I got from physical therapy at a hospital twice a week for a year.
I’m 13 and my upper back has been feeling very tight. Your video helped my release all the tension I was feeling before. The door stretch works wonders!
The left side of my neck has been hurting for days. I tried that first exercise, and it popped. No more pain in my neck. (Wish it could stop other kinds of "pains-in-the-neck." : ) I'll be back later and try the rest of the exercises. Thanks!
Holy hell my shoulder blade hasn’t felt this good in months. I can’t afford a chiropractor so this was amazing. I was just trying to lay in bed when I had enough of it. Thank you so much
Ahhh my shoulders are locked up and it looks like you have done something right over the message but for me my arms and shoulders are giving me problems I might just keep trying
I’ve had three shoulder surgeries and carry extreme tension in my trapezius. I tried your first exercise which felt incredible. This will now be my go to stretch for relief, thank you so much! The arm placement behind the back makes a world of difference!
I’ve suffered neck/shoulder pain for over 3 decades. These deep stretches are great for loosening things up. Sometimes you get a pop and other times muscle release. It’s great, thanks!
@@DrRowe I work on concrete (as floor) and am *very* flexible (due to martial arts experience for 25 years), this still doesn't pop the lower most back.
I love the fact that you clarify that these are not a substitute to chiropractic adjustments and are more like relief movements, that's how u recognize a good chiro
I really love you. Every time I feel some kind of way .I'm 39 and start feeling low energy gain weight. Have anxiety and panic attacks. But after watching your videos over 2 weeks I dont take medicine and when I feel anxiety comes back I do as you say and feel better immediately. Thank you doctor I pray God give you so much to give.
@@ronaldmccutcheon1329 I dont know where. But in videos he said something about our body's brain send message to the the spine .and when the spine low back neck is not pop or feel good we get anxiety. I dont know how he exactly say it but that's what I understand. But since I do as he say in hes videos my anxiety decreases. And when pop up or crack feel peace and understanding my body needs.
Thanks so much for this video!! It's incredible when chiropractors & other specialists offer such helpful tools & advice for those of us suffering with pain on the daily.. Unfortunately there are too many physical therapy specialists who believe more in prolonging a patient's treatment & making money (& therefore their suffering) instead of helping patients recover as quickly as possible. Sadly it puts a terrible cloud over all in the profession & prevents many people from even starting treatment, let alone sticking with a "treatment plan". I'm sorry to say that I haven't been able to find any decent chiropractor in my area as they didn't even meet me for a personal assessment before claiming I'd need a treatment plan drawn out over several months (so I declined). So again, I sincerely appreciate your candor & compassion..& I'm sure so many others do as well! Take Care & Huge Hugs
Right?! Good to see th sharing this wealth of knowledge. I can't afford a fckn chiropractor, the guy wanted $3450 to help fix my back. He said I was phase 1 just on my way into phase 2
As a indian , I experienced malnutrition when I was younger and developed lots of physical disabilities. I couldn't even get out of those people who caused it because of it. Its a pleasure watching skilled people like you , making these amazing videos. To be honest it makes me jealous on how much different life can be .
Again! Saved me from a boat load of pain. My neck and shoulder released with the first exercise. I need to have a nap now, because my body is so relaxed from not being in excrutiating pain. Brought tears to my eyes because of the release of pain. That was really cool. Thank you
I broke my back and neck in a car accident years ago. Crazy pain for years, and things have tightened up worse and worse. I needed to see this. Thank you so much. I will be doing this everyday.
Thank you so much! I'm in my teens and have really bad back pain from carrying so much in my backpack. I've had almost constant back and neck pain for a year now, but this relieved a LOT of pain. I now can walk and twist however I want without really bad pain. Thank you, you're a lifesaver
@@bagellord9337 So, we get lockers, but there's no where near enough time to go between half of my classes and be on time, so I usually carry a thick binder around. I actually walk home too, so that's probably what's killed my back, lol
@@bagellord9337 In my school you can't ride the bus if you live within a mile of school (does not apply to the little ones I think, idk I moved into the zone a year ago). Unfortunately, that also applies to 1/2 mile hills that take 10 minutes just to walk up
I’ve been doing self adjustments for 30 years, but came across your channel and learned a few new things. As a result, you earned my sub and will share to others as your instructions are excellent! ❤
This video needs way more views. I have a ton of neck and back issues and my neck has been so tight for days. That first exercise got the spot that was bothering me right off the bat. Wish I knew this a few days ago! Thank you! Your channel has helped me so much
Oh my goodness! On Memorial Day, I was helping my mom landscape a corner of her yard, and a day later I had pain in the back of my right shoulder, under the shoulder blade and under my arm (armpit area) with some tingling in that arm. Also tightness extending up to the neck. When I coughed, it felt worse. I thought maybe I had a back upper rib out, or maybe even a tumor since it hurt when I coughed (I know... bit dramatic, but it felt that bad). I just did the very first exercise of your video.. with the arm behind the back and pulling the head in the opposite direction, and I felt two tiny pops and had some immediate relief! I did this in my office chair though... but will do it later lying in bed with the towel to really get it out. Thank you sooooooooo much! You are amazing!
I always put my arms out straight behind my back, hands clasped and raise them as high as I can. Makes my spine pop from bottom to top and it usually helps with any headaches or neck pains.
I could cry I’m so grateful to have found this!! Thank you so much. As a travel nurse aide, who over thinks and collects knots in my back. I sincerely thank you! I often cry because I’m in so much pain and feel helpless to end it.
Anyone else here get too excited with these videos and pause it after the very first demonstration to try it then come back and watch the next one? I swear i make these last an hour haha. What great help!
I am so grateful that I found this help I’ve been suffering with lower back pain and shoulder pain just after one session of these exercises I had immediate relief Thank You 🥰
UA-cam really knows what I need. When I take a quick nap or fall asleep, my shoulders, my neck and my whole back hurts and it's so frustrating so I think I will use this a lot
Randomly clicked and I am so glad I did. They explained everything in such a comprehensive way, and spoke so clearly while demonstrating the exercise! Quality content :)
My grandma asked me to do this, i didnt know how so i watched this, i tried doing it and i think it worked! Shes been lying on the ground for days, i think shes pretty relaxed...
Thank you!! I've had lower back pain for years. Not on an income that allows me to see a chiropractor regularly. Just starting to do a couple of these exercises and already feeling so much relief. I never thought to look up any videos like this until UA-cam recently suggested it. Thank You again! I think my quality of life is about to improve.
This JUST CHANGED MY LIFE! THANK YOU. Perfect for in between chiropractor appointments. Amazing stuff especially the upper back lower neck stuff. I feel like a new man.
I tried it 2 times and it worked for both pains I was having this guy is amazing ...He needs a trophy for this. I'm already a online patent to these videos good luck 💪😎💯
Me, pausing video: "I gotta try this." Me: Rip my head to the side at mach 7, back unleashes entire concert worth of percussion noises Unpausing video: "just stretch though, don't force it" Oh. Noted.
I have bilateral pars defect of L4, was trying to find an easier way to pop those areas. These lower back stretches did the trick & got everything to pop & crack. Could feel the relief go all way down to my toes! Going to keep doing them in my daily routine for sure!
I really enjoy your style of teaching. Your ways of communicating and the demonstrations used in your videos are effectively clear and comfortable follow. You are an outstanding instructor.
Thanks! This is the First video I came across from you … you are awesome and very generous with these stretch exercises……thank you……your new loyal follower, sebastian
As someone that works as a PTA in a dual PT and chiropractic clinic, I love how you educate not to force it to adjustment. It is more of a self mobilization, basically lacrosse ball smash technique, the use of every day house hold items is perfect! I have shared this with many of my patients. I don’t suggest they do the quick flexion with the supine thoracic adjustment d/t the risk of them putting in the wrong place or being to aggressive…. But that is the only modification. Cork screw is my personal favorite!
Really appreciate these concise cleat instructions. I'm a retired Trauma RN who had ACDF 4-6 surgery 15 yrs ago. It's where I kept my stress. I still continue to have significant tightness throughout the neck and back and just can't get it to loosen up. This video took it slowly through the steps, and is intuitive. Just saw you're out of WPB. My 1st nursing job out of school was at ... Aunt Mary's. I also worked at Uncle Jack's in Lake Worth
the exercise at 8:07 helped me immensely, thank you so much. my right lower back gets destroyed at work i really needed this!! i usually go for a massage once a week but i havent felt like going lately
seeing this and I've never been more aware of my hypermobility.... its so hard to get a good stretch bc my arm goes way past my back when I do that 90 degree thing
It's crazy because the one you did on the bed for the lower back where you bring one leg over the other and the one you did on the doorframe where you focus on one side at a time are things I've discovered myself and have done for years. Very powerful stretches and for me personally, I find they are basically 100% effective at releasing the joints in those areas.
Oh Lord, I just found this treasure. As a person who has worked with granite countertops and setting modular office trailers, my back has suffered over the years greatly. I just did these few exercises and got big pops and release from all parts of my spine. I actually feel like going out and doing something today. Than you so heckin much for the tips. This video is definitely going into my favorites.
Thanks doc, not sure if it’s placebo or my body’s actually stretching but i could feel my posture improve after doing the lower neck and door frame stretches.
Although I am not sure if paying for an animated “thanks” message ends up paying you or UA-cam, I deeply appreciate your willingness to help others by sharing information freely. I plan to incorporate this stretching regimen into my daily routine, and am really hoping it will help a problem I am having in my T vertebrae area. Thank you!
dear Dr, I have no words to thank you. my neck and shoulder have been stiff for few weeks. i do yoga and other exercises daily and wasnt able to find a way to relieve myself. had to modify the first exercise a little bit, by putting a block under my hipbone, otherwise wasnt able to relax. but that just did it totally now, it triggered quite an emotional release. super grateful!
Thank you for posting your videos. It may sound corny or cliché but I don’t care lol. By using the various exercises and techniques you demonstrate in your videos my quality of life has improved immensely. I’ve even been able to lose some of the weight I gained after suffering a back injury that prevented me from working any longer. My flexibility has improved and my strength has started to return as well. Now I know that some would attribute those things to my exercising each day and learning Tai Chi but I wasn’t able to do those things until AFTER I started using what you demonstrate in your videos. In fact the first 15 lbs I lost was before I started exercising and is a direct result of simply being able to move about pain free. I have incorporated a number of your simple stretching activities into my daily routine which has greatly increased my mobility. It’s not all about “cracking” and “popping” every time I do the stretching routines. Its about being pain free and more flexible so I don’t re-injure myself while exercising and doing other activities. Yes there are times when I feel the need to “pop” something back into proper alignment but those times are becoming less and less frequent and are usually associated with me doing something I shouldn’t have or not spending enough time stretching before moving on to more strenuous activities. And of course all of this has caused me to be able to lose fat and gain muscle which also helps protect me from re-injuring myself lol. Anyone looking at my new lifestyle and list of activities that I couldn’t do just six months ago would have to agree with me that it all started with that very first technique I learned from the very first video of yours that I ever watched. So a big Thank You from me and from my grandsons who I can now spend more time with doing the things I used to do with them before I got injured. I’ve watched all of your videos at least once and smashed the like button on every single one of them and subscribed after that very first video of yours I watched lol Cheers mate
First, that’s awesome. I’m really glad you’re doing better and getting stronger. Second, thank you for the sub and supporting the channel, I appreciate it!
Warning guys, always check your form, I tried the mentioned exercises and it gave me relief as the vid said. My brother broke his neck when he performed it because he wasn't following the forms showed in this video
From one that has broken their back twice and experience daily pain since 1997, THANK YOU! I do similar stretches already but missing some steps that you show here. I will apply these techniques daily. (in 1997 I broke 9 Vertebrae, Sacrum, 5 Ribs and my nose. August 2020, broke my T12 again because my discs are gone/dead)
I have Transverse Myelitis and have such horrible back pain, muscle spasms, and tightness. This video helped me so much. I get great relief from these techniques especially at night when my pain is worse. Thank you so much!! ❤️
Hi, oddly enough I watched this video around 9am. And saw ur comment, then now (11am) found out my very close friend was diagnosed with transverse myelitis. Could u tell me anything I could pass to him that might help? I know nothing about it. Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been through so many adjustments and PT and never had a stretch work so well and relieve so much pain as the third example of laying on the floor with the balls and butterflying my elbows. As soon as I started it was such a deep satisfying relief in those muscle groups between my shoulder blades I have never gotten to any other way. Nothing popped but I feel amazing and my neck doesn't hurt for the first time in months. Wow!!!!
yooooooooo omg! idk for how long,,, but the towel method i rolled one u and did that and just readjusted my spine then got my shoulder to pop back in place APPARENTLY!!! dude i think u might have just fixed me i had no idea my shoulder was dislocated at all. i got instant pain relief!!! seriously THANK YOU besides ur stretch videos are amazing KEEP IT UP!
Oh my god a rib has felt like it’s needed to pop for years and I finally caved and made a makeshift roller out of a candle and the pop was immediate and I feel so much better it was the best feeling ever, I’m so happy. Alot of things dont work bc I do circus flexibility stuff so I’m so happy that worked
Tried this on my dad, he's been relaxing on the floor since then. I may have done it differently, and a little too close to the neck, but it still worked! Thank you!
@@DrRowe Thanks! I would usually use my fist in my lower back to release locked up joints in my spine but using the back of my hand & pairing it with the neck stretch like you recommend in this video hits more spots in my back and helps my neck and shoulders a bit as well.
I have bad sciatica, searched UA-cam , did a workout then this cane recommend. I have tense shoulders so yea why not? Haven't had a pop yet but I've have had ease. Thank you
I used to never have issues with my neck until I went to a chiropractor once and it's been bugging me since on and off and constantly having to pop it for relief. Usually I try to breathe out and force my shoulder/neck muscles to relax before moving my head to one side to make it pop to alleviate pressure. That one exercise is so much easier and does wonders, thank you!
I tried this with my brother, and he's so relaxed, he's been laying on the floor for hours, thank you 🙏🙏
Dont tell me you killed him
Nah he just sleeping, for a while.
Is he dead?
Guys, he's not dead, he's just really relaxed

You ain’t lying.... I was thinking of that as I watched the video

Yeah I remember I started doing that about 3 years ago
I say this all the time lol! Now they don't have those desks in schools around here anymore :(
Holy hell my shoulder blade hasn’t felt this good in months. I can’t afford a chiropractor so this was amazing. I was just trying to lay in bed when I had enough of it. Thank you so much

Best neck stretch I’ve ever used! The traditional pull to the side never helped but this has done wonders in just a couple of days
Wow!! in this one I just did what the thumbnail showed and that was enough!!
Hm.. your body would do that out of fear, coz your muscles have gone through bigger 'shocking excercises'. :p
4.5 million subs, that is amazing. Congrats!
yes
@@DrRowe Thanks! I make videos
Notice me electroboom from I'm a huge fan from Philippines
I’ve had three shoulder surgeries and carry extreme tension in my trapezius. I tried your first exercise which felt incredible. This will now be my go to stretch for relief, thank you so much! The arm placement behind the back makes a world of difference!
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
I’ve suffered neck/shoulder pain for over 3 decades. These deep stretches are great for loosening things up. Sometimes you get a pop and other times muscle release. It’s great, thanks!

I love the fact that you clarify that these are not a substitute to chiropractic adjustments and are more like relief movements, that's how u recognize a good chiro
I really love you. Every time I feel some kind of way .I'm 39 and start feeling low energy gain weight. Have anxiety and panic attacks. But after watching your videos over 2 weeks I dont take medicine and when I feel anxiety comes back I do as you say and feel better immediately. Thank you doctor I pray God give you so much to give.
How can I find his anxiety video? Thank you.
@@ronaldmccutcheon1329 I dont know where. But in videos he said something about our body's brain send message to the the spine .and when the spine low back neck is not pop or feel good we get anxiety. I dont know how he exactly say it but that's what I understand. But since I do as he say in hes videos my anxiety decreases. And when pop up or crack feel peace and understanding my body needs.
@@adr1ana1000
I appreciate it.
Thanks so much for this video!! It's incredible when chiropractors & other specialists offer such helpful tools & advice for those of us suffering with pain on the daily.. Unfortunately there are too many physical therapy specialists who believe more in prolonging a patient's treatment & making money (& therefore their suffering) instead of helping patients recover as quickly as possible.
Sadly it puts a terrible cloud over all in the profession & prevents many people from even starting treatment, let alone sticking with a "treatment plan".
I'm sorry to say that I haven't been able to find any decent chiropractor in my area as they didn't even meet me for a personal assessment before claiming I'd need a treatment plan drawn out over several months (so I declined).
So again, I sincerely appreciate your candor & compassion..& I'm sure so many others do as well!
Take Care & Huge Hugs
Thanks for watching!
I feel bad not paying for this. UA-cam university is my jam!

As a indian , I experienced malnutrition when I was younger and developed lots of physical disabilities. I couldn't even get out of those people who caused it because of it.
Its a pleasure watching skilled people like you , making these amazing videos. To be honest it makes me jealous on how much different life can be .
Again! Saved me from a boat load of pain. My neck and shoulder released with the first exercise. I need to have a nap now, because my body is so relaxed from not being in excrutiating pain. Brought tears to my eyes because of the release of pain. That was really cool. Thank you
Fantastic, and thanks so much for watching!
I broke my back and neck in a car accident years ago. Crazy pain for years, and things have tightened up worse and worse. I needed to see this. Thank you so much. I will be doing this everyday.
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Thank you so much! I'm in my teens and have really bad back pain from carrying so much in my backpack. I've had almost constant back and neck pain for a year now, but this relieved a LOT of pain. I now can walk and twist however I want without really bad pain. Thank you, you're a lifesaver
Great to hear you're getting relief!

@@bagellord9337 So, we get lockers, but there's no where near enough time to go between half of my classes and be on time, so I usually carry a thick binder around. I actually walk home too, so that's probably what's killed my back, lol

Oh my goodness! On Memorial Day, I was helping my mom landscape a corner of her yard, and a day later I had pain in the back of my right shoulder, under the shoulder blade and under my arm (armpit area) with some tingling in that arm. Also tightness extending up to the neck. When I coughed, it felt worse. I thought maybe I had a back upper rib out, or maybe even a tumor since it hurt when I coughed (I know... bit dramatic, but it felt that bad). I just did the very first exercise of your video.. with the arm behind the back and pulling the head in the opposite direction, and I felt two tiny pops and had some immediate relief! I did this in my office chair though... but will do it later lying in bed with the towel to really get it out. Thank you sooooooooo much! You are amazing!
Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
You have such a good energy, clear and comforting
Thank you for the kind words, and for watching!
Good posture = clear energy, no lie
I always put my arms out straight behind my back, hands clasped and raise them as high as I can. Makes my spine pop from bottom to top and it usually helps with any headaches or neck pains.
I could cry I’m so grateful to have found this!! Thank you so much. As a travel nurse aide, who over thinks and collects knots in my back. I sincerely thank you! I often cry because I’m in so much pain and feel helpless to end it.
Thanks so much for watching!
Anyone else here get too excited with these videos and pause it after the very first demonstration to try it then come back and watch the next one? I swear i make these last an hour haha. What great help!
Ha, hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Everytime you said "it will pop" I can't explain the happiness was popping in my mind.
I am so grateful that I found this help I’ve been suffering with lower back pain and shoulder pain just after one session of these exercises I had immediate relief Thank You 🥰
Wonderful to hear you’re getting immediate relief, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the sub and supporting the channel,

As someone that works as a PTA in a dual PT and chiropractic clinic, I love how you educate not to force it to adjustment. It is more of a self mobilization, basically lacrosse ball smash technique, the use of every day house hold items is perfect! I have shared this with many of my patients. I don’t suggest they do the quick flexion with the supine thoracic adjustment d/t the risk of them putting in the wrong place or being to aggressive…. But that is the only modification. Cork screw is my personal favorite!

I'm a retired Trauma RN who had ACDF 4-6 surgery 15 yrs ago. It's where I kept my stress.
I still continue to have significant tightness throughout the neck and back and just can't get it to loosen up.
This video took it slowly through the steps, and is intuitive.
Just saw you're out of WPB. My 1st nursing job out of school was at ... Aunt Mary's.
I also worked at Uncle Jack's in Lake Worth
I used to dance- was as flexible as ever. I stopped and now can barely touch my toes. This helped me so much. Thank you
Glad to hear the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!
I just did the middle back part and as soon as i put my hands under my neck, my back popped several times. What a relief! Thank you
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching too.
My roommate tried this, he’s been so relaxed he’s still laying on the couch. Thanks
the exercise at 8:07 helped me immensely, thank you so much. my right lower back gets destroyed at work i really needed this!! i usually go for a massage once a week but i havent felt like going lately
Glad to hear that, and thanks so much for watching!
@@DrRowe yes it very helpful... My back popped once which felt like heaven
The usefulness of breathing and relaxing into these stretches cannot be overstated.
That helps!
seeing this and I've never been more aware of my hypermobility.... its so hard to get a good stretch bc my arm goes way past my back when I do that 90 degree thing
I tried this with my grandpa and he is very relaxed and sleeping for the last 18 hours. Thank you so much.
It's crazy because the one you did on the bed for the lower back where you bring one leg over the other and the one you did on the doorframe where you focus on one side at a time are things I've discovered myself and have done for years. Very powerful stretches and for me personally, I find they are basically 100% effective at releasing the joints in those areas.
My husband recently injured his back and I can’t wait to show him this video. Just subscribed…thank you for passing on your knowledge 🙏🏾❤️💪🏾

Oh Lord, I just found this treasure. As a person who has worked with granite countertops and setting modular office trailers, my back has suffered over the years greatly. I just did these few exercises and got big pops and release from all parts of my spine. I actually feel like going out and doing something today. Than you so heckin much for the tips. This video is definitely going into my favorites.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks doc, not sure if it’s placebo or my body’s actually stretching but i could feel my posture improve after doing the lower neck and door frame stretches.
Great to hear the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!
Any sort of muscle stretching no matter how niche is healthy for your body.
No it's not, it actually helps me too a lot.
Although I am not sure if paying for an animated “thanks” message ends up paying you or UA-cam, I deeply appreciate your willingness to help others by sharing information freely. I plan to incorporate this stretching regimen into my daily routine, and am really hoping it will help a problem I am having in my T vertebrae area. Thank you!
I’m going to do this routine on my active recovery non weight training days.
I feel great after following this routine.
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!
dear Dr, I have no words to thank you. my neck and shoulder have been stiff for few weeks. i do yoga and other exercises daily and wasnt able to find a way to relieve myself. had to modify the first exercise a little bit, by putting a block under my hipbone, otherwise wasnt able to relax. but that just did it totally now, it triggered quite an emotional release. super grateful!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting your videos. It may sound corny or cliché but I don’t care lol. By using the various exercises and techniques you demonstrate in your videos my quality of life has improved immensely.
I’ve even been able to lose some of the weight I gained after suffering a back injury that prevented me from working any longer.
My flexibility has improved and my strength has started to return as well. Now I know that some would attribute those things to my exercising each day and learning Tai Chi but I wasn’t able to do those things until AFTER I started using what you demonstrate in your videos. In fact the first 15 lbs I lost was before I started exercising and is a direct result of simply being able to move about pain free.
I have incorporated a number of your simple stretching activities into my daily routine which has greatly increased my mobility. It’s not all about “cracking” and “popping” every time I do the stretching routines. Its about being pain free and more flexible so I don’t re-injure myself while exercising and doing other activities.
Yes there are times when I feel the need to “pop” something back into proper alignment but those times are becoming less and less frequent and are usually associated with me doing something I shouldn’t have or not spending enough time stretching before moving on to more strenuous activities.
And of course all of this has caused me to be able to lose fat and gain muscle which also helps protect me from re-injuring myself lol.
Anyone looking at my new lifestyle and list of activities that I couldn’t do just six months ago would have to agree with me that it all started with that very first technique I learned from the very first video of yours that I ever watched.
So a big Thank You from me and from my grandsons who I can now spend more time with doing the things I used to do with them before I got injured.
I’ve watched all of your videos at least once and smashed the like button on every single one of them and subscribed after that very first video of yours I watched lol
Cheers mate
First, that’s awesome. I’m really glad you’re doing better and getting stronger. Second, thank you for the sub and supporting the channel, I appreciate it!

Warning guys, always check your form, I tried the mentioned exercises and it gave me relief as the vid said. My brother broke his neck when he performed it because he wasn't following the forms showed in this video
From one that has broken their back twice and experience daily pain since 1997, THANK YOU! I do similar stretches already but missing some steps that you show here. I will apply these techniques daily.

Hi, oddly enough I watched this video around 9am. And saw ur comment, then now (11am) found out my very close friend was diagnosed with transverse myelitis. Could u tell me anything I could pass to him that might help? I know nothing about it. Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been through so many adjustments and PT and never had a stretch work so well and relieve so much pain as the third example of laying on the floor with the balls and butterflying my elbows. As soon as I started it was such a deep satisfying relief in those muscle groups between my shoulder blades I have never gotten to any other way. Nothing popped but I feel amazing and my neck doesn't hurt for the first time in months. Wow!!!!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for watching too.
yooooooooo omg! idk for how long,,, but the towel method i rolled one u and did that and just readjusted my spine then got my shoulder to pop back in place APPARENTLY!!! dude i think u might have just fixed me i had no idea my shoulder was dislocated at all. i got instant pain relief!!! seriously THANK YOU besides ur stretch videos are amazing KEEP IT UP!
Glad you’re getting relief!
@@DrRowe yes wolk up with like 2-3 hours sleep and I feeel fantastic REALLY!
Oh my god a rib has felt like it’s needed to pop for years and I finally caved and made a makeshift roller out of a candle and the pop was immediate and I feel so much better it was the best feeling ever, I’m so happy.
Alot of things dont work bc I do circus flexibility stuff so I’m so happy that worked
Glad you’re getting relief!
Tried this on my dad, he's been relaxing on the floor since then. I may have done it differently, and a little too close to the neck, but it still worked! Thank you!
Love how I get into position to start the first exercise and immediately feel popping in my hips, knees, shoulders and back...
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come! Thanks for watching too.
@@DrRowe Thanks! I would usually use my fist in my lower back to release locked up joints in my spine but using the back of my hand & pairing it with the neck stretch like you recommend in this video hits more spots in my back and helps my neck and shoulders a bit as well.
I have bad sciatica, searched UA-cam , did a workout then this cane recommend. I have tense shoulders so yea why not? Haven't had a pop yet but I've have had ease. Thank you
A satisfying click on that last one, a click I've been needing for years
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
"Ugh, my back hurts again... Where tf is the SOUP?!!"
😂
I see what you did there
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used to never have issues with my neck until I went to a chiropractor once and it's been bugging me since on and off and constantly having to pop it for relief. Usually I try to breathe out and force my shoulder/neck muscles to relax before moving my head to one side to make it pop to alleviate pressure. That one exercise is so much easier and does wonders, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Chiropractitioners. ... not a real word, lol. But same here, was fine til I went to 1. Great vid though
