I have chronic intractable migraines. The majority are triggered by the weather including drop in barometric pressure. But, I also have migraines triggered by tightness in the back of my neck as well as tightness and cramping in my upper trapezius muscles. These migraines are far worse, take longer to improve and cause more symptoms. To help with this migraine trigger, I was prescribed a low dose of a medication with a positive side effect of relaxing muscles. Last year I saw a repeat episode of a Japanese show on NHK World (I believe the series was called Gatten and most episodes involve interviews of medical specialists). It made me realize that it is possible to gain relief if I was taught how to relax my muscles. A few months ago, I found your channel and I've learned a lot. First of all, tongue to the roof of the mouth truly helps (from my experience) the movements become even more effective. I appreciate that you remind subscribers to do this. I also appreciate how the channel combines movement with information. It helps to understand why things happen and why certain exercises are beneficial. My pain tonight was very bad. I was nearing an 8 and on the verge of another intense migraine. These exercises helped a lot. I've saved this video to a Playlist. I know how important it is to be shown the correct way to do exercises and you've really done a great job of helping viewers use the right form. Thank you so much.
WOW. After waking up once again with the muscles between my neck and right shoulder in spasm, doing this quick series gave me some relief. Thanks so much!
This is pretty valuable and I'm going to add this to my regular neck warm ups I do. I deal with a connective tissue disorder and scoliosis in between my shoulder blades. Over the past year I've really ramped up working on fixing muscle imbalances and my posture. Its meant slowly realigning and opening up my shoulders and working on scap control (In part thanks to this channel). I've made huge strides but recently there were some compensations that hit my neck and jaw muscles. Using a variety of therapies, the pain and stiffness went down but those muscles are still sore and this really helped with that. So thank you! Found this video a year late, but still at the perfect time!

Useful and safe exercises, thank you! Neck often stiff due to side sleeping. Shoulder is pressed forward at night. Upper back shoulder blade and neck are impacted. Tried different pillows but haven't found best one.
I got a little more side to side movement and my neck just felt more lose and relaxed. My pain isn't very high, maybe a 3 and it reduced just slightly. Not so much pain relief as relaxation. My pain comes from sleep, I wake up with a stiff neck, upper back and right shoulder do to a C7 injury a couple years ago. Thank you!
Hi, and thanks for trying it out. That is not uncommon, and the exercises will help. When was the last time you changed your pillow and/or mattress? Do you sleep on your right side? If so, try your best to flip over to your left side and see how if that helps. In any case, the Neck Pain Solution program can help you assess and address the root cause of your issue. It's comprehensive and progressive and designed for people like you: www.precisionmovement.coach/neck-pain-solution/ Please keep us posted on your progress :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach appreciate the advice and response! My masseuse recommended your videos and technique, she uses it herself for a similar injury. I have found sleeping on my back works best for my issues. I use a body pillow on my left side just under my arm and wrapped around behind my neck and head. Relieves the pressure and also prevents me from snoring. If I side sleep my clavicles will hurt the next day. I recently got a wool mattress pad from Holy Lamb Organics and it helps with a softer sleeping surface without sacrificing a firm mattress. Also makes the sleeping surface cooler. Appreciate your response and personal attention. I'm just starting to use your techniques and they do provide relief, keep up the great work!
My PT recommended you and these have been helping me. I have a deterioration between C5 and C6 but also work at a desk. My pain has increased a lot over the last several years, usually from sleep and desk. But sometimes it seems random. Wish often I could hang upside down 😅Thank you for what you're doing here.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that and please thank your PT on our behalf. We're glad to hear the exercises are helping you! However, while it's excellent (and free!), it's still just a Band-Aid.

For me it happens sometimes when I wake up but more often, (including this week!) It happened while I was doing a basic core workout. This is timely for me!
That's fantastic! I get mine after doing too many side kicks. But it's 9nly on the left. Pressing against rotation worked for me, but pressing around the back half of the head instead of the front. I wove my fingers and cupped the back of my head, and repeated the process at different degrees of looking up and down. Feels so much better. Thanks!

So I have had a pain in my right side of my neck. I thought it was due to the workout that I do but this worked! OMG it's gone - no stretches helped but this did. Thank you!
Thank you for your information i just did the 6 steps , somehow I don’t feel the pain , I will repeat this movement daily up to 6 weeks , hoping the neck pain goes away , thank you 👍
My word, this video was tremendous! I had a nasty headache I knew was coming from tension - 3 minutes cleared me right up! Lots of cracks along the way but for the greater good. Now I’m terrified of moving from fear of undoing all this goodness.
I get the crick when I'm working at my irritating and stressful job, hunched over a computer. As always, great stuff Precision Movement, thanks Eric and Dr. B!
C. Other. I sleep with my head on top of 2 thick firm pillows. This is how I like it. And I’ve been doing it for years. But this is the only thing that I’m guessing is causing my 9 out of 10 neck pain. I have heard that it will ‘work its way out’- but it’s been a month and still no relief. I’m also having pain issues in my right shoulder. Only certain movements. I thank you so much for trying to help me (and others). God bless!
My pain usually starts when I am sleeping at night and the pain wakes me up. Sometime with few stretches, it goes away or get better then I go back to bed hoping that it will not come back again! I have changed my pillow multiple times and none cure my problem. It's been 12 years now!!! I have a better feeling for sure after doing the exercises. I will do it one more time before bed today and let you know the result.
I’m trying this tonight. My neck pain is mostly after doing diamond art paintings, overhead inside and outside painting, and sleeping incorrectly. Thank you for the info.
I do rowing and the next pain comes right after I complete my workout even though I relax before and stretch after my workout, sometimes I do get headache with the pain as well. I did the exercise and it was amazing, how I felt after. The discomfort really went away. Thank you

Thank you for this video. I often experience neck pain when waking up and after a long drive home from my 12hr shifts.

I injured my neck using gym equipment incorrectly. It's been 3 months with still no improvement even through I've seen several physiotherapist and chiropractors ongoing. All the exercises so far haven't been effective. I will try your exercises. Im desperate at this point.
Happens more when laying, seems that its too much pressure. Adjusted my pillow and did a lot for my neck. I figured out that my new memory foam mattress made my body go lower and increased the pressure on my neck, with slimer pillow or sometimes no pillow solved my neck pain issue.
Happens in combination with long bike rides, but also sometimes really suddenly for no apparent reason, just turning the head or doing something with the shoulder.
As always, for me, you guys are the "go to" for pain. I have bone spurs, and degenerative disc, arthritis in my cervical,( thoracic and lumbar areas as well ) which causes constant pain of varying levels, and constant stiffness, and very limited range of motion. With regard to the neck, my ortho doc told me doing ROM exercises will at best keep me where I am at. I have practiced your neck techniques to improve ROM for over a year now, and have achieved limited or no improvement in ROM (NOT your fault!). Do you recommend any specific techniques to help, or do you agree with my doc that not much can be done? Thanks for your work!

Finished rinsing out conditioner with head down directly under the water stream facing faucet. Two-hand moterboat side-of-skull rake/rinse. I then flung my hair/head back in shower after rinsing & raking out conditioner. My head flung back moderately fast and abruptly locked right into an acute pinched something. Man 48 hours now, still can’t move or even rotate head. Doing head/chest-in-unison turns lookin like Frankenstein. Can’t turn at all without level 12 pain striking like lightening. I know the body is protecting me from my own movement with that sensation, but this is hell. Can barely begin to turn my head without the agony…. I can’t even get down to the floor to do the first move without bad pinched pain restricting my neck mobility. It’s awful.
Wow. That is not cool and you should not have to live like that. Sorry for the late reply. Did you try out the exericse and how are you now? - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Look for a pillow that supports your head in such a way to keep your neck as neutral as possible. If your pillow if too high or low you may experience issues :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I had shoulder neck stiff about Degreed 7 sour or Overhead after working. :) This is a nice warm up for my poor posture in that area. But the other one works better sometimes. ( and I don't know why_)
I find when I press on my forehead and resist that, I get the most pain. Any suggestions on what to do? I did just start your ROM routine for neck pain, part 1. P.S. My neck is habitually over-tight.
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Hi Yes I did it before my message and a few times since. My neck restriction is not from a overnight crick but several injuries which occurred over a decade ago, like a bad fall on ice and a heavy (cheap) bike falling down on me.
Ouch! How about you try out the exercise at that time? Also, consider grabbing the Neck Pain Solution program. It can help you to assess and address the root cause of your issues: www.precisionmovement.coach/neck-pain-solution-yt Check it out and let us know what you think :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
What is worrying me is the fact that symptoms of a dysfunctional C-Spine can be the many ones of a squeezed vagus nerve which runs so close to C2 Tittinitus, dizziness, tachycardia, shortness of breath, difficulty to swallow, reflux, dyspepsia, dysfunctional intestines and chronic anxiety Having several of these symptoms speak for that cause Needless to say that it is fully ignored by doctors.. Finding a osteopath for that is not an easy thing In any case these Iso are so safe.. it can only be good..
So what happened was my twitching tight feeling reduced and actually twitched a bit more but gradually lowered. Going have to try this again daily. Will update with more update. Thanks for the video very helpful

Your remedy reminds me of the power of the "Keep It Simple Stupid" principle. My neck was a level 4 pain from computer work. Your isometrics reduced it to a 1-1.5. Thank you. No ibuprofen needed, as I would typically use it if the neck pain grew to a level 7 pain.

That is a good question and it's hard to say.
When doing the neck exercise are you pushing against your hand with your head or is the hand pushing the head?
Both :)
Sad everything you mention can cause it to happen, worse when I feel/hear a pop. hopefully this will help thanks
Keep us posted on your progress :)
Could this be used with a fuse neck c3 thu c6 ?
Yup...make sure to let pain guide you.

Pain mostly comes from overhead work and sleeping. Exersizea helped feel better.
Thanks for trying it out!
Isometrics has helped to lessen some tightness and at 1-2 level of pain
So good!
How many times repetitions please respond
1 rep per position is sufficient :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Do u recommend a certain pillow?
Look for a pillow that supports your head in such a way to keep your neck as neutral as possible. If your pillow if too high or low you may experience issues :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Working overhead for sure
No doubt.
When I wake up. Started at like a 6, went to a 3 after exercises. If I keep repeating, will the pain decrease more?
That is our hope and please keep working on it :)

Anxiety and daily stress bring on this ache and may last for days
Yikes!
I fell backwards in the woods and have pain moving neck side to side..
Ouch!
Did you try out the exericses?

I had shoulder neck stiff about Degreed 7 sour or Overhead after working. :) This is a nice warm up for my poor posture in that area. But the other one works better sometimes. ( and I don't know why_)
Thanks for trying it out!
I find when I press on my forehead and resist that, I get the most pain. Any suggestions on what to do? I did just start your ROM routine for neck pain, part 1. P.S. My neck is habitually over-tight.
Keep working on that routine and you will improve with time and practice :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Better!
:)
Confused on how to do last exercise?

Nice work!

Nice!
Pain in left side of neck on waking
Did the exercise help?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Yes, the exercises relieved the pain, thank you! Sleeping on my side with my neck bent was the problem, now resolved 🙏
My neck hurts as soon as i lie belly down and turn my neck to either side. It is so painful, I cannot lie face down at all.
Did you try out the exercise?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Hi Yes I did it before my message and a few times since. My neck restriction is not from a overnight crick but several injuries which occurred over a decade ago, like a bad fall on ice and a heavy (cheap) bike falling down on me.
@@marys1113 keep working on the exercises and let us know how it goes :)

My neck pain starts when I wake up

Thanks for trying it out!

Excessive head banging listening to metal
ha!
What is worrying me is the fact that symptoms of a dysfunctional C-Spine can be the many ones of a squeezed vagus nerve which runs so close to C2
Tittinitus, dizziness, tachycardia, shortness of breath, difficulty to swallow, reflux, dyspepsia, dysfunctional intestines and chronic anxiety
Having several of these symptoms speak for that cause
Needless to say that it is fully ignored by doctors..
Finding a osteopath for that is not an easy thing
In any case these Iso are so safe.. it can only be good..
Hopefully they help :)
So what happened was my twitching tight feeling reduced and actually twitched a bit more but gradually lowered. Going have to try this again daily. Will update with more update. Thanks for the video very helpful
