I have been searching the web for seven years, since I developed this problem. And you are the FIRST person who is talking about my exact problem. I will need your help as I fight this battle. It has shaken my confidence.
Thank you so much man i've had this problem for several months now and it caused me so much anxiety in my life, this is the first time i find something so helpful, God bless you.
For the first time at 33 yrs old, this is the first time I've found someone discuss this sensation in my body which I never fully understood. These simple techniques have already started working for me and has given me so much comfort. God bless!
I thought I was alone in this. Thankyou so much man. Over 10 years I’ve struggled and suffered with this. It’s very exhausting. Many times I’ve been embarrassed because of it
I’ve literally tried massage therapy, dry needling, chiropractors to get these knots out my neck. I’m pretty sure the knots were caused by my neck tic. I truly believe this video and the exercises will be by far the only thing that I can see working for me. Thank you so much. I’ve had this tic for 4 years and thought I’ve lost hope
For a while I used to look for solutions outside myself. But ultimately had to learn I and I only can stop this condition. Yes, I can relate to the knots being created from all the ticking. Bringing loving touch back to this part of your body can help, too. Gently messaging your own neck was super helpful for me for a while - to bring awareness, presence and touch back to our own body.
Recently, over the past week, for some unknown reason, my head just randomly started to snap back. It first started a few times during school on the 7th, and just yesterday and today it started becoming very frequent to the point where I can barely go about 10 minutes without one. I can barely stop one from happening, and although they don’t hurt, a lot of these can make my neck real tired. Edit: 02/28/2022 Quick update- I’ve come to understand my tics a lot better recently. For starters, I know my tics are triggered by overwhelming feelings, loud/unexpected noises (will trigger me 2/10 times), and thinking about them. Since the development of my neck tic, I’ve also developed a few more: - Shoulder shrugging tic (just shoulders, not my arms) - Faces scrunching tic (cheeks, nose, and eyes) - Winking tic (alternates between both eyes, but mainly left like what it’s doing rn) - Breathing tic (I take quick, sharp inhales through my nose) And finally, my hitting tic. This one is special. It’s triggered by one thing and one thing only- bugs. Whenever a bug gets too close to me like a spider or stink bug, I hit the closet thing to me. It’s usually either my palm, wrist, or thigh but I’ve also accidentally hit one of my sisters in the arm and another one on the head. Thankfully neither of them were hit very hard or at least not with as much power as I usually do when I hit myself. The whole irony of that tic is that my preferred name is Bee. I tic whenever I’m too close to a bug, but I literally named myself after one. 😂 I’ve also gotten good at avoiding my tics. Like I said, mine are triggered by thinking about them. My solution to that is simple- spacing out and distracting myself. With ADHD, this task is VERY easy for me, so I’ve been able to avoid major tic attacks very well. Rn I am sort of having a tic attack, but it’s only my face tics (hence why I’m able to types this rn) Other than that, everything has gotten a lot better. Talking to my friends who have actually been diagnosed with Tourettes has been a huge help, too. They’ve really helped me better understand my condition (No I’m not self diagnosing myself with Tourettes, I’m just saying that since we all deal with motor/action tics, we can all relate to each other in a way) That’s all I have to say for now. Hope this update helped!! 😁 Edit #2: 04/13/2022 Just a disclaimer: IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DIAGNOSIS, ALWAYS LOOK TO GO TO A PROFESSIONAL FIRST!!

I have a neck tic that flares up at random times, and it stared just now, which is why I'm on this video 😅 When I was doing this technique my eyes and mouth, nose started ticking 😅🙄
I've had tics for about 10 years now, and have only recently started looking at how I can overcome them. Without rambling on, I happened upon one of your videos and I instantly connected with what you were saying. Very enlightening, and I will be in touch very soon to look at your online help. Thank you for these videos and sharing your journey so far. I'm working my way through them!
I've found in the last year or two that whenever I get a sudden chill, my head will just snap to the side suddenly, oftentimes popping it very loudly in the process. Its never when I'm actively stretching or adjusting, because I do have an existing back injury that affects me all the way up my back and into my shoulders/neck. Only ever with the sudden chill. And it happens so suddenly and is over just as fast as it comes, so I've no clue how to catch it in time to breathe into it, you know? It's over in a matter of a second at most. Idk, it wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't happen so violently, because sometimes I'm worried I'm going to snap my own neck doing it one of these days, but this was really nice to know that I maybe could get it under control someday. Just have to work on my reaction time I guess.
Reaction time comes from living life at a deep state of presence. There are many ways to cultivate more presence in our life- meditation is one of them :) thanks for messaging.
Also, thank you so much for this because it's the most relief I've felt on my neck whenever this happens, when it gets bad my neck just sinks down because I'm subconsciously trying to stop it and it's just made the strain so much worse. Thank you so much for this!
This is making so much sense. With Covid popping up everywhere at work, I am very nervous and my neck tic has now spread to a couple of face tics. I will certainly try your technics as I am afraid people around me will see me doing the tic and I am also fed-up with this issue. Thank you so much
Thankyou for kindly making this video to help people like me. I've had many many upper body tics for the past 40 years and this has tainted my life. I will try out your techniques, fingers crossed and thankyou!
You’re a live saver sir As at the time I’m typing this it’s been 4 months since I developed this problem…and I really don’t know how it started Probably from a sudden spasm or chill and I just found myself doing it constantly Didn’t really bother me then but now it’s getting worse and it’s had me worried that It could develop into a lifelong issue..so I’m trying to nip this in the bud as soon as possible..so far I’ve managed to hide it from my friends and families but I really want it to stop and I’m scared it could affect it socially I’m just so grateful I found this video
Feels good to gain back some control of my body. I feel my tics (mostly shoulder blade contracting and shrugging) are most severe around noon time which is right in the heart of the work day. I think that makes sense logically in terms of stress and the mind racing with thoughts from earlier in the day and worries about the present and what lies ahead. I try to take 5-10 mins and close my eyes and take ten deep breaths while holding the tic(s). I'll take about 30 seconds off to see how I feel and the continue 8 breaths, then 6, then 4, all the way to 1. I find this really helps gain back control of my mind body. Thanks for the all the help dazz.
my eyes and stuff don’t twitch my head just goes to my shoulder very quick, a fuzzy feeling in my neck happens then my neck turns idk what it is and i don’t want to self diagnose
This is the best and most helpful video I have seen. Your approach/solution is wonderful! Thank you for providing actual solutions while covering the embarrassment aspect. You are spot on about being present. Love it !!
Thank you for your message. My son is six years old and a couple of weeks ago he developed a neck tic. He is not able to control it. This situation is making me feel devastated and angry at times. I don't know how to help him.
Thank you it is helping. Ive been hsving tics, many years. Im 40 now and these neck tics came a couple of months ago. My main tics is hindering my breathing which is, a, real pain...
Why i think i have tics i just dont know what kind 1: i twitch my body parts without trying it randomly happens 2: sometimes i blink hard 3: i get the urge to move or do something unnatural that makes me feel like everything is ok after i do that movement 4: i yell, gasp, and randomly say chicken 5: my head moves all different ways randomly and slowly 6: i move my arms like im trying to grab something or hit something 7: my nose scrunches 8: my eyebrows go up and down 9: my eyes widen 10: my shoulders shrug i can control my vocal ones just not every other one i have.
I only tic when I relax. If I do any form of relaxation exercise it goes completely crazy! I trained to be a laughter therapist through the laughter yoga technique and I was fine for the whole two days until the final exercise when one of the other students decided to end with relaxation - then the whole thing went off like a nightmare! Night time is the worse time for me. Once I sleep I suffer severe tic attacks which wake me up continually. These won't work for me but I like the concept of people working with the idea of helping tics. Everyone can find things which help - even if these don't help you personally.
Responding to Lorraine - Yes if you are really focused or distracted you are using the frontal lobe and less of the amygdala (panic area) and there are usually less tics. So when you are not actively concentrating it makes sense that the panic region can take over again unconsciously and tics pop up. However, it probably would still help to do mini periods of slowed breathing during the day to keep stress etc from building up- which probably then causes the tics once you are not using the frontal lobe so much anymore. I wonder how often he used his breath to reduce tics. Every few minutes? Every 20 mins, every hour or just every time tics surfaced. That info would be helpful. An example is hearing tics as walking along but then when hiking in a bumpy area and having to focus the tics reduce. More blood flow or something in the frontal lobe. However, overall the body would still benefit from frequent slowed breathing during the day to reduce the build up of stress. At least that’s what I think is happening.
I did this in kindergarten a lot, didn't even know what tics were at the time, and this girl judged me for it, it was pretty hard to get out of the habit of doing it. (I have NOT been diagnosed for Tourettes, Anxiety, ADHD, etc. just btw)
My son is 4 and he started with the neck thing. For him it looks like he is trying to get his hair out of his face. Like the good looking hair people. He used to rub his eyes a lot and when he stopped running his eyes he started with this. Did you stop doing it by yourself or do you still do it ?
I also had this neck jerking tics in high school up to college as far as I remember. It comes and go but not as severe as in this video. I used to tilt and rotate my neck and causes pain sometimes. People around me called it mannerisms but I guess it was not. I'm fine now, but I subconsciously do it sometimes if I remember. Especially after watching this video.
of course I had neck tics after this, but they were really painless and much smaller.... and that’s crazy to me because normally this is my most frequent and painful tic! I haven’t done it throughout this whole sentence i’m typing... :)))))) thank you!!
the tic in my neck has moved to a different space. this video helped got rid of my main tic in my neck but there was another tic about 2 cm away from it, which is now much more frequent. I’m coming back to the studio to get rid of the second tic
I started neck stretching about 6 months ago and i do it about 100 times a day. I havent seen a doctor as i thought it was just an effect of my dad dying of cancer. Im really worried.
Same my dad died and I have got anxiety but afterwards left the house my anxiety is not bad I use to get panic attacks and shiver like I was having a fever but it went away and I used to get light headed I was nervous bc he died from and illness I forgot what it was and I thought I had it for some reason
It helped a bit brother. Need mire doing gods work. Went to emotional and critical thiking. The tension just comes. Like a big energy wich wont disapair til i pop it. Then it comes again. Same feeling i assume you have and people here. Have it for 1 year. Hopefully it goes! ^^
Yes, the feeling of the urge to move the body is a big part of this condition we can find ourselves in. This feeling of uneasiness is something in practice we learn to bring awareness to, feel, allows and melt away without the ned to tic and twitch the body so forcibly.
Great information. My daughter 14 years of age has some bad tics. She also has vocal tics. Is there any tips on how to stop vocal tics? She has motor tics like the neck and such which at times makes her have a seisuzes. But all scans and tests show she is not epileptic.
I don't know if these are tics. But I feel like they are. My fingers move very weirdly. They twitch(?) like they're breaking my finger bones. Looks kinda like zombies when they're at it. Kinda creepy. And I notice I have been doing that for at least 4 years now. It's so annoying for me. My neck also moved like how you showed in this video. My neck feels uncomfortable and feels like it really needs to break a joint or bone in order to be satisfied and then it get backs to it. I started my university physical classes again last year, and I find myself trying to control these so often. It's quite stressful because I don't want it to happen excessively in front of other people.
Hello, very similarly, my head involuntarily twitches to the left when I am anxious. I don't have a problem when I'm alone. I've been diagnosed with cervical dystonia but I'm not sure if it's a social tic or dystonia. Yours looks like cervical dystonia too.
Guys, if your neck shakes randomly, then you might have nerve damage. I tried this exercise/stretch for nerve damage in the neck and the shaking sensation went away.
Ive had surgery two years ago(brain surgery)and I started to develop the neck tic and scrunching my face. My brother thinks I need to go my neurologist.(I’m thirteen next month)
I could really use some advice, as far as I know I've never had tics until this year. The thing is I'm 20, it started with neck strain from my old bed and just escalated. It started small but then it got to the point of headaches, it stopped for a or two months maby, but it's back again. I know my sleep schedule has been all kinds of screwed up this year, and it doesn't help that I've developed a bad habit of doing anything at all except lay down and sleep because of anxiety at night. I know those things can atribute to it but I need help figuring out what's going on because I can't find anything anywhere about it. I could really use some help and advice.
Please describe how to possibly reduce verbal tics. Others suggest breathing in through the mouth and out through the nose would help but air still passes through the vocal folds and a vocal tic still triggers. Slowed breathing for 30 mins stops tics but they start again 20 mins later. Any tips?
I only get neck tics/twitches when I'm in school and I always wonder if other people see me. Plus, when eating (at school) my hands are really shaky. These things never happen anywhere else. Anyone else know why?
Actually, I found out that it was some sort of nerve damage through the YT comments. I had all the symptoms, inflamed neck, numb arm, etc. I saw this exercise on UA-cam recently and the shaking has dumbed down and so did the symptoms.
I’ve got the neck tic and a large library of other things I hide and have been disguising since childhood. My neck will hurt from the repetitiveness of twerking my neck.
Are all tics involuntary? If so does this technique work for involuntary tics? My teenage daughter has a tic where she suddenly jolts her head forward and at the same time kind of lifts her shoulders up like 2 or 3 times.
Hi Heidi. I’m not totally sure what you mean? If someone moves their head voluntary, they are moving their head. Then There is no condition or issue. If it’s happening involuntary then there are patterns of behaviour that have been saved in the unconscious somehow, and are playing havoc on this persons body.
I started having a neck tic again where i stretch my neck to either side and the past few days the tic attacks have been so bad and so severe that my neck, shoulders, upper back and even my cheat muscles are so sore😞 i also think i pinched a nerve bc from like my lower neck/shoulder down to my inner elbow (where they usually draw blood) it almost feels like the slight pain when you stretch too far😭 it sucks because most of the tics i develop are ones that are strenuous and can cause injury when they get real bad
Thanks for sharing, bro. Finding compassion with ourself in amongst the need and urge to move can take time, but keep honouring what you're feeling, keep watching my videos, and keep connecting the dots. You'll find your way out of this.
I started developing a head twitch where my head moves/tils too the side really quickly and it ussually makes a lot of popping sounds and it gets reslly annoying because i get picked on for it a lot
Hey thank you, but how do I stop since I have a horde of motor tick - like even this breathing - i keep sending puffs with sounds like huh and even my jaws keep moving - so how do I do this exercise with solving the first one
Do tics also involve pulling or hard stretching? My neck is anyways in pain from it. I developed it after a medication. I didn't link it until recently. I want to ask before I invest in your program. The doc does believe I have a motor tic but she didn't offer much help. it appears it is a mix of clonic and tonic tics. Thoughts?
Hey Jody - I just saw this message now. Sorry for the delay. Yes, pulling, stretching and the resulting pain in the neck from it is all to do with the tightness, tension that we're storing in out body, and not letting ourselves to release. A Tic is suppressed emotions wanting to be released... but we're trying to control them and hold them in. All of this is happening unconsciously for most of us. The practices I teach in the online program will help, yes.
Gd ev my son also have tic please help me what I'm doing .my son 8years old only I don't know what to do .every time I saw him .my heart is broken .😭😭😭
Sir, thank you, thank you very much. I have never found a video so close to my problem. As you say, we can control ourselves, but I think that I was trying to control myself by forcing myself not to do the tic. While mentally it was awful to stand. Ever since Ive found you and practiced your exercises, I'm so relieved, my neck tics are already almost gone. You are a really good person and the way you speak is very reassuring. Thanks a ton ❤️🦜
idk if i have tourettes (but i feel like it's tourettic ocd) but i have a neck thing where i flex/strain my neck and it ends up hurting the more and more i do it, so my upper body is really hurting because i also have one where i do the same thing but with my jaw and my bicept/arm
It sounds like a motor tic, yes. Not Tourettes - as this is only diagnosed if you have vocal tics, too. The addiction to straining/flexing the neck is where I'd encourage you to start focusing on. What brings you awareness to that addiction? When does this addiction to moving the neck stop? In what situations or emotional states in your life does it calm down? Wishing you the best!
thanks for making this video. you gotta get off that deck though. its so ringy, its hard to understand. that big open field behind you would be great! thanks though.
That's OK. The practice is learning to breath gently, slow down, if you tic, tic. Try to last a little longer. each time just bringing awareness to your breathing to quite the nervous system. Ticking isn't wrong. Sometimes we do it, let it. THEN, come back to focussing on the breathing as you gently hold the position.
I jerked my neck repeatedly to the left without stopping today, I couldn't help it bc I have a tic disorder. but this is my worst tic ever and I was in the hospital all day bc my mom has never seen in happen to me before. I have a problem with taking medicine bc I gag, yeah idk why but yeah. the doctor gave me pills to stop it but I'm dumb and won't let myself swallow the dang pill so now my neck hurts and I need relief
My friggin neck twitches in tense situations. Not because it feels good but because my nerves and muscle tighten up to 110% Fckn sucks. Wears on you Anyone out there with same?
I had similar symptoms. I found out it was some type of nerve damage. I did a exercise for it on UA-cam and the tense muscles and shaking has majorily decreased.
Please don't stop making videos you are really helping
Thankyou Chandler!
This damn tick starts if I’m really nervous, if I need to do a speech ,stressed or during a confrontation 😩

I've found in the last year or two that whenever I get a sudden chill, my head will just snap to the side suddenly, oftentimes popping it very loudly in the process. Its never when I'm actively stretching or adjusting, because I do have an existing back injury that affects me all the way up my back and into my shoulders/neck. Only ever with the sudden chill. And it happens so suddenly and is over just as fast as it comes, so I've no clue how to catch it in time to breathe into it, you know? It's over in a matter of a second at most. Idk, it wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't happen so violently, because sometimes I'm worried I'm going to snap my own neck doing it one of these days, but this was really nice to know that I maybe could get it under control someday. Just have to work on my reaction time I guess.
Eroeh Aurelia I have the same problem I only tic when I get a weird shiver in my neck!
Same. I don’t know what it is.
yep the same thing happens to me!
Reaction time comes from living life at a deep state of presence. There are many ways to cultivate more presence in our life- meditation is one of them :) thanks for messaging.
How are you doing now op?
Also, thank you so much for this because it's the most relief I've felt on my neck whenever this happens, when it gets bad my neck just sinks down because I'm subconsciously trying to stop it and it's just made the strain so much worse. Thank you so much for this!
This is making so much sense. With Covid popping up everywhere at work, I am very nervous and my neck tic has now spread to a couple of face tics. I will certainly try your technics as I am afraid people around me will see me doing the tic and I am also fed-up with this issue. Thank you so much
that was really comforting and helpful, I so appreciate it. Will try your advice and see how it goes!
Thankyou for kindly making this video to help people like me. I've had many many upper body tics for the past 40 years and this has tainted my life. I will try out your techniques, fingers crossed and thankyou!
You’re a live saver sir
As at the time I’m typing this it’s been 4 months since I developed this problem…and I really don’t know how it started
Probably from a sudden spasm or chill and I just found myself doing it constantly
Didn’t really bother me then but now it’s getting worse and it’s had me worried that It could develop into a lifelong issue..so I’m trying to nip this in the bud as soon as possible..so far I’ve managed to hide it from my friends and families but I really want it to stop and I’m scared it could affect it socially
I’m just so grateful I found this video
Feels good to gain back some control of my body. I feel my tics (mostly shoulder blade contracting and shrugging) are most severe around noon time which is right in the heart of the work day. I think that makes sense logically in terms of stress and the mind racing with thoughts from earlier in the day and worries about the present and what lies ahead. I try to take 5-10 mins and close my eyes and take ten deep breaths while holding the tic(s). I'll take about 30 seconds off to see how I feel and the continue 8 breaths, then 6, then 4, all the way to 1. I find this really helps gain back control of my mind body. Thanks for the all the help dazz.
Wow so glad I found this!!! I practiced once and will continue , I hope and pray it works!!! Thanks Dazz!!
my eyes and stuff don’t twitch my head just goes to my shoulder very quick, a fuzzy feeling in my neck happens then my neck turns idk what it is and i don’t want to self diagnose
Same here
Um same
Same
It still happens and now it happens in my face too
I’d you don’t want to self diagnose I encourage you to see a Dr.
This is the best and most helpful video I have seen. Your approach/solution is wonderful! Thank you for providing actual solutions while covering the embarrassment aspect. You are spot on about being present. Love it !!
Thank you for your message. My son is six years old and a couple of weeks ago he developed a neck tic. He is not able to control it. This situation is making me feel devastated and angry at times. I don't know how to help him.
Does your son still have it? My 6 year old has also recently started doing this and I’m concerned.
Thank you it is helping. Ive been hsving tics, many years. Im 40 now and these neck tics came a couple of months ago. My main tics is hindering my breathing which is, a, real pain...
Excelent video and advice. Thank you
My pleasure
Why i think i have tics i just dont know what kind
1: i twitch my body parts without trying it randomly happens
2: sometimes i blink hard
3: i get the urge to move or do something unnatural that makes me feel like everything is ok after i do that movement
4: i yell, gasp, and randomly say chicken
5: my head moves all different ways randomly and slowly
6: i move my arms like im trying to grab something or hit something
7: my nose scrunches
8: my eyebrows go up and down
9: my eyes widen
10: my shoulders shrug
i can control my vocal ones just not every other one i have.
ya that’s i tic i have some of those to i’m only 14 and it’s so embarrassing i cant control it
Please never stop with these videos I really appreciate them and just want to say thank you😊❤
Great video thank you so much
thank you so much bro iv been dealing with this for so long and this video helped
Very effective and helpful. Thanks
I only tic when I relax. If I do any form of relaxation exercise it goes completely crazy! I trained to be a laughter therapist through the laughter yoga technique and I was fine for the whole two days until the final exercise when one of the other students decided to end with relaxation - then the whole thing went off like a nightmare! Night time is the worse time for me. Once I sleep I suffer severe tic attacks which wake me up continually. These won't work for me but I like the concept of people working with the idea of helping tics. Everyone can find things which help - even if these don't help you personally.
Responding to Lorraine - Yes if you are really focused or distracted you are using the frontal lobe and less of the amygdala (panic area) and there are usually less tics. So when you are not actively concentrating it makes sense that the panic region can take over again unconsciously and tics pop up. However, it probably would still help to do mini periods of slowed breathing during the day to keep stress etc from building up- which probably then causes the tics once you are not using the frontal lobe so much anymore. I wonder how often he used his breath to reduce tics. Every few minutes? Every 20 mins, every hour or just every time tics surfaced. That info would be helpful. An example is hearing tics as walking along but then when hiking in a bumpy area and having to focus the tics reduce. More blood flow or something in the frontal lobe. However, overall the body would still benefit from frequent slowed breathing during the day to reduce the build up of stress. At least that’s what I think is happening.
Thank you so much😃 Allow God to be with you
Same to you!
I did this in kindergarten a lot, didn't even know what tics were at the time, and this girl judged me for it, it was pretty hard to get out of the habit of doing it. (I have NOT been diagnosed for Tourettes, Anxiety, ADHD, etc. just btw)
My son is 4 and he started with the neck thing. For him it looks like he is trying to get his hair out of his face. Like the good looking hair people. He used to rub his eyes a lot and when he stopped running his eyes he started with this. Did you stop doing it by yourself or do you still do it ?
I also had this neck jerking tics in high school up to college as far as I remember. It comes and go but not as severe as in this video. I used to tilt and rotate my neck and causes pain sometimes. People around me called it mannerisms but I guess it was not.
I'm fine now, but I subconsciously do it sometimes if I remember. Especially after watching this video.
Please make one video on head shaking tic disorders , i'm facing this problem since 1995
Thanks🙏
Thank you so much for posting this! So glad I found it! My neck tic flared up and this helped a lot!
of course I had neck tics after this, but they were really painless and much smaller.... and that’s crazy to me because normally this is my most frequent and painful tic! I haven’t done it throughout this whole sentence i’m typing... :)))))) thank you!!
BRO IVE LITERALLY WATCHED THIS ONCE AND MY NECK TIC IS SO MUCH CALMER AND SMALLER
the tic in my neck has moved to a different space. this video helped got rid of my main tic in my neck but there was another tic about 2 cm away from it, which is now much more frequent. I’m coming back to the studio to get rid of the second tic
I started neck stretching about 6 months ago and i do it about 100 times a day. I havent seen a doctor as i thought it was just an effect of my dad dying of cancer. Im really worried.
Same my dad died and I have got anxiety but afterwards left the house my anxiety is not bad I use to get panic attacks and shiver like I was having a fever but it went away and I used to get light headed I was nervous bc he died from and illness I forgot what it was and I thought I had it for some reason
Awesome vid🙏
It helped a bit brother. Need mire doing gods work. Went to emotional and critical thiking. The tension just comes. Like a big energy wich wont disapair til i pop it. Then it comes again. Same feeling i assume you have and people here. Have it for 1 year. Hopefully it goes! ^^
this is my recent tic. my neck is so sore all the time. this tic makes me so uncomfortable but hopefully with some practice, i can get rid of it 😭
Yes, with mindful awareness of your body, with the practice of awareness and presence, it is of course possible!
Thanks! ...a lot!
Is feel uneasy behind of the neck and wanting to stretch again and again a sign of tic? Please tell me
Yes, the feeling of the urge to move the body is a big part of this condition we can find ourselves in. This feeling of uneasiness is something in practice we learn to bring awareness to, feel, allows and melt away without the ned to tic and twitch the body so forcibly.
My tic is kind of like I’m straining the left of my neck and this did help but I don’t know if it will fully be gone..
Interesting. It did stop for a short time. So do I just practice this as an exercise?
Weave it gently into your life, yes! With presence, peace and an appreciation for the intelligence of your body.
How often and how long can we do this( a day) ?and after how long do you start realizing ur not ticing as much? Thank youuuu
Great information. My daughter 14 years of age has some bad tics. She also has vocal tics. Is there any tips on how to stop vocal tics? She has motor tics like the neck and such which at times makes her have a seisuzes. But all scans and tests show she is not epileptic.
Truly helpful 😳👌👌👌
im so thankful for this!!!
I don't know if these are tics. But I feel like they are.
My fingers move very weirdly. They twitch(?) like they're breaking my finger bones. Looks kinda like zombies when they're at it. Kinda creepy. And I notice I have been doing that for at least 4 years now. It's so annoying for me.
My neck also moved like how you showed in this video. My neck feels uncomfortable and feels like it really needs to break a joint or bone in order to be satisfied and then it get backs to it.
I started my university physical classes again last year, and I find myself trying to control these so often. It's quite stressful because I don't want it to happen excessively in front of other people.
Hello, very similarly, my head involuntarily twitches to the left when I am anxious. I don't have a problem when I'm alone. I've been diagnosed with cervical dystonia but I'm not sure if it's a social tic or dystonia. Yours looks like cervical dystonia too.
I find that the words that Dr's give us often don't empower us, but take our power away.
Guys, if your neck shakes randomly, then you might have nerve damage. I tried this exercise/stretch for nerve damage in the neck and the shaking sensation went away.
Hi , I have this neck twitch how do you get rid of it ?
Ive had surgery two years ago(brain surgery)and I started to develop the neck tic and scrunching my face. My brother thinks I need to go my neurologist.(I’m thirteen next month)
Thanks Dazz!
I have it too I’ve tried everything my neck jerks randomly when I have my head straight
I could really use some advice, as far as I know I've never had tics until this year. The thing is I'm 20, it started with neck strain from my old bed and just escalated. It started small but then it got to the point of headaches, it stopped for a or two months maby, but it's back again. I know my sleep schedule has been all kinds of screwed up this year, and it doesn't help that I've developed a bad habit of doing anything at all except lay down and sleep because of anxiety at night. I know those things can atribute to it but I need help figuring out what's going on because I can't find anything anywhere about it. I could really use some help and advice.
Please describe how to possibly reduce verbal tics. Others suggest breathing in through the mouth and out through the nose would help but air still passes through the vocal folds and a vocal tic still triggers. Slowed breathing for 30 mins stops tics but they start again 20 mins later. Any tips?
I only get neck tics/twitches when I'm in school and I always wonder if other people see me. Plus, when eating (at school) my hands are really shaky. These things never happen anywhere else. Anyone else know why?
tics tend to occur when you're anxious. maybe you're anxious at school?
Actually, I found out that it was some sort of nerve damage through the YT comments. I had all the symptoms, inflamed neck, numb arm, etc. I saw this exercise on UA-cam recently and the shaking has dumbed down and so did the symptoms.
I’ve got the neck tic and a large library of other things I hide and have been disguising since childhood. My neck will hurt from the repetitiveness of twerking my neck.
Any advice for hand ticks? I constantly press my fingers and squeeze whatever I'm holding
I'll create a video soon!
I have neck tics everytime I think about my WORST phobia/fear, when I'm cold, when im nervous, and when my ears start itching..
Are all tics involuntary? If so does this technique work for involuntary tics? My teenage daughter has a tic where she suddenly jolts her head forward and at the same time kind of lifts her shoulders up like 2 or 3 times.
Hi Heidi. I’m not totally sure what you mean? If someone moves their head voluntary, they are moving their head. Then There is no condition or issue. If it’s happening involuntary then there are patterns of behaviour that have been saved in the unconscious somehow, and are playing havoc on this persons body.
I started having a neck tic again where i stretch my neck to either side and the past few days the tic attacks have been so bad and so severe that my neck, shoulders, upper back and even my cheat muscles are so sore😞 i also think i pinched a nerve bc from like my lower neck/shoulder down to my inner elbow (where they usually draw blood) it almost feels like the slight pain when you stretch too far😭 it sucks because most of the tics i develop are ones that are strenuous and can cause injury when they get real bad
Thanks for sharing, bro. Finding compassion with ourself in amongst the need and urge to move can take time, but keep honouring what you're feeling, keep watching my videos, and keep connecting the dots. You'll find your way out of this.
I started developing a head twitch where my head moves/tils too the side really quickly and it ussually makes a lot of popping sounds and it gets reslly annoying because i get picked on for it a lot
I started to experience it these days.
When I'm really sad, stressed, my head suddenly moved to the left side.
Thank you King Daz for the cool shit💘🙌
Hey thank you, but how do I stop since I have a horde of motor tick - like even this breathing - i keep sending puffs with sounds like huh and even my jaws keep moving - so how do I do this exercise with solving the first one
Do tics also involve pulling or hard stretching? My neck is anyways in pain from it. I developed it after a medication. I didn't link it until recently. I want to ask before I invest in your program. The doc does believe I have a motor tic but she didn't offer much help. it appears it is a mix of clonic and tonic tics. Thoughts?
Hey Jody - I just saw this message now. Sorry for the delay. Yes, pulling, stretching and the resulting pain in the neck from it is all to do with the tightness, tension that we're storing in out body, and not letting ourselves to release. A Tic is suppressed emotions wanting to be released... but we're trying to control them and hold them in. All of this is happening unconsciously for most of us. The practices I teach in the online program will help, yes.
@@InnerWorldMastery thank you!
Mine started yesterday with an arm movement now it's moved to my neck and back my parents already think I'm faking I don't know what to do
How do u stop it when it happens out of no where? my neck and back tic
genius
Gd ev my son also have tic please help me what I'm doing .my son 8years old only I don't know what to do .every time I saw him .my heart is broken .😭😭😭
Mine is neck and face tics
I just found out i have tics :"( in my neck like i get this chill from my spine and my neck twitches
that happens to me too!!
Broski I've been trying for like 7 minutes to go to bed and my last resort is google and UA-cam
What if your not conscious of it when your doing it
i do this and i have a yawning tic which SUCKS
Sir, thank you, thank you very much. I have never found a video so close to my problem. As you say, we can control ourselves, but I think that I was trying to control myself by forcing myself not to do the tic. While mentally it was awful to stand. Ever since Ive found you and practiced your exercises, I'm so relieved, my neck tics are already almost gone. You are a really good person and the way you speak is very reassuring. Thanks a ton ❤️🦜
Thank you so much for sharing, Onyx.
idk if i have tourettes (but i feel like it's tourettic ocd) but i have a neck thing where i flex/strain my neck and it ends up hurting the more and more i do it, so my upper body is really hurting because i also have one where i do the same thing but with my jaw and my bicept/arm
It sounds like a motor tic, yes. Not Tourettes - as this is only diagnosed if you have vocal tics, too. The addiction to straining/flexing the neck is where I'd encourage you to start focusing on. What brings you awareness to that addiction? When does this addiction to moving the neck stop? In what situations or emotional states in your life does it calm down? Wishing you the best!
I had neck tic like 2years ago and i dont know why it came back like 2 weeks ago and i dont know what to do please someone help me
im scared i maybe have tics i cant stop my neck from twitching
So is it a dopamine issue??
Mine happens a lot when we pass a car I slam the side of my head into the seat
I get soo many neck tiks
Has anybody tried a chiropractor
Sure.
thanks for making this video. you gotta get off that deck though. its so ringy, its hard to understand. that big open field behind you would be great! thanks though.
I cant stay on the position without getting the urge
That's OK. The practice is learning to breath gently, slow down, if you tic, tic. Try to last a little longer. each time just bringing awareness to your breathing to quite the nervous system. Ticking isn't wrong. Sometimes we do it, let it. THEN, come back to focussing on the breathing as you gently hold the position.
I jerked my neck repeatedly to the left without stopping today, I couldn't help it bc I have a tic disorder. but this is my worst tic ever and I was in the hospital all day bc my mom has never seen in happen to me before. I have a problem with taking medicine bc I gag, yeah idk why but yeah. the doctor gave me pills to stop it but I'm dumb and won't let myself swallow the dang pill so now my neck hurts and I need relief
My friggin neck twitches in tense situations. Not because it feels good but because my nerves and muscle tighten up to 110%
Fckn sucks. Wears on you
Anyone out there with same?
I had similar symptoms. I found out it was some type of nerve damage. I did a exercise for it on UA-cam and the tense muscles and shaking has majorily decreased.
