I just tried your upward “distraction” stretch, it felt really good. I also found that if I press on my trapezius, or neck, in a certain spot while gently stretching my neck to the side, results in a crack that alleviates the tightness. Stretching arms, neck, and shoulders using a doorway frame (arms out to the sides) also helps.
Hey Sevi! Great job finding that modification for yourself! Just be careful with over doing it on popping and stretching your neck. It is possible to over do it easily. Make sure you're working on strengthening your other muscles.

I have a little question when doing any of the techniques should it hurt? I woke up today and felt terrible pain in my neck and whenever I move it one way it hurts and I need the pain to go away.
I think I may have accidentally cracked my neck the wrong way, my neck hurts bad and Ive been getting headaches amd nausea, dizziness and stuff, arthritis, what do I do? pls help? it was before I watched the video
Hey Panica Unknown! You need to get to an emergency room or urgent care clinic and get x-rays and examination. Those symptoms are unusual severe symptoms that MUST be checked out by a medical professional.
smh. I knew it! I see this video causing you some legal trouble in the future my friend. But eh what do I know. (Whisper: id remove it)@@epmanualphysicaltherapy
@@marlenafina3481 I am doing better, they said it was a pinched nerve. I do still get back and neck pains though nearly every day but dont have time to go to the doctors. Thank you for your concern.

I see bad things happening. 😆 I need a chiropractor. Someone will walk in the room & think I'm trying to kill myself. 😂
