Hello! Do you know anything about hiatal hernias? I'm having a hard time in Florida finding a chiropractor that does. Is it a condition that can be self treated?
Can you do a video for carpal tunnel? I'm almost 26 and have been dealing with it since I was 17. Its only gotten worse after having each of my children...really trying to avoid surgery. I have been using a brace but I can't stand anything on my wrists so its stressful trying to fall asleep...the brace helps some at night but I would love any other help!
Had a knot in my neck for 2 days, tossed and turned in bed the whole time, tried hot showers but nothing worked. Took 2 minutes to watch this video, 2 minutes to try it out, knot almost fully gone. Dang, thank you interwebs
This is truly high quality content. I can't help but feel that the internet was made for this. Free and practical information from someone who obviously knows what they're talking about. Thanks!
You're so right. I like to still think of the Internet as a source of positive information. I bought a massage roller with dimples on the surface and it has been a brilliant investment.
I had a knot in my neck for 2 days and tried so many things like, massages, hot showers, heating pads, and more but nothing worked. I searched online and saw this video… I took a few minutes to watch it and now my neck feels much better!!! I actually got sleep last night, thank you so much!
I never write reviews but these exercises really helped, that's why I had to write. I've struggled with neck pain for the last 4 days. Left side headache followed with left eye crying plus nausea. I significantly diminished the pain by doing these exercises. I still cannot believe it. I struggle with shoulder knots since many years. I will use your techniques to alleviate pain in the future. Thank you very much.
Dude do you even understand how good you are at explaining everything? Yes I’m interested in what you’re talking about, but sometimes I just watch the video to listen to you explain step by step so clearly lol
@@DrRowe I agree with this comment; you are exceptional at explaining every stretch and your tone as well as the speed in which you speak was perfect and direct. Looking forward to a hip flexor stretch video and or ankle/feet.
Oh my god...I've been trying everything to get my neck to stop hurting for over a week now and following along to the first 4 minutes of this I'm already so much better! You're awesome I will never forget this :)
Omg 😭😭 I was in so much pain wit my kneck all night so hard to sleep....THIS WORKS!!!! I've done this for about half and hour with small breaks 🥰🥰 IT WORKS!!!

Τhis is AMAZING!! I suffer from stiffness and pain that radiated to my ring finger and I feel like I cannot relax at all no matter what I do. The tightness is driving me mad and I also have headaches.. I did the exercises in 5 videos and I finally feel relief... the towel and the tennis ball in the pillowcase are just phenomenal. I feel I am relaxed after months!! Thank you so so so much for all this free valuable knowledge.
I can’t explain how your videos have helped me. The pain I use to feel on a daily basis that had me really down has almost all gone to do with my lower back and hips. This is all down to you. You’ve made a huge difference in my life, my mood, my pain is almost gone. This is all thanks to you. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Truly.
Slept wrong the other night. Had very limited mobility in my neck and back. Found this video and it helped in 2 minutes of doing 2 exercises. Thank you so much 😁

Not my first UA-cam comment but it’s the most important one! Thank you!!! Instant relief on chronic neck pain. I thought I was dying. This video helped instantly!
For the last few weeks, I have been using this video almost daily to relieve a severe spasm in my left trapezius that also caused my neck to stiffen. This video, plus Voltaren gel and Advil Muscle & Joint formulation in the first couple of weeks, has just about healed the spasm. I should mention that the Voltaren and Advil were recommended by my GP, who also recommended physiotherapy, but I didn't want to do that in the middle of a pandemic. This video took the place of physiotherapy and allowed me to work on the problem at home almost every day. I can even shovel snow without pain! Thank you Dr. Rowe!
Thanks for this!!! I am a 5 month pregnant , stay at home mom(I have a toddler), full time online college student who has been suffering from the worst headaches & shoulder pain. I needed this video!
I’m truly shocked at how much this just helped me out. I locked-up my neck a week ago & thought I had a pinched nerve. The very 1st tip brought me major relief. All I can say is “Thank you” very much! 👍🏼
This is insane! I've been suffering from upper back pain and a shooting pain in my right arm for weeks now. I have been doing the ball in the sock trick for years. I did find very tender knots around the shoulder blade and I thought I had found the culprit but no avail. I watched this video and decided to use the ball with my frontal muscles (chest) and OW OW AND OW I finally found the source!! Even saw Satan in his underwear and the pain diminished just like that. Theres still work to do as I have horrible posture but I can't thank you enough for your advice.
Like my mom, I hold all my stress in my shoulders, and sometimes the knot in my left trap can get so painful it can wake me up and turn into a 6-8 hour tension headache through my whole kneck and skull that Advil and Tylenol barely takes the edge off. These exercises dropped the pain from an 8 to a 3, almost immediately. I cannot thank you enough! I've suffered with this for years! I'll be checking out the rest of your videos, especially the one on the IT band since that's also a long term issue for me since I have tibial torsion and anteverted femurs, not enough to require surgery, but enough to annoy my hips and knees ;) Once again, thank you!
Honestly, Doctor, you are a KING in your field! I've been having some problems with my shoulder, neck, and hip for quite some time, but after watching many of your videos and trying all the techniques you are teaching, I've got quick pain relief within a couple of minutes. God bless you, Doctor! 🙏 Please Keep educating us on how our body functions and how to fix it! ❤💐A million thanks one more time!
Dear Dr. Rowe, I had a lot of pain in neck and shoulder due to desk job. Usually first 1 hr of sitting I am fine, but afterwards it starts paining in the trap area and neck. I have improved sitting posture now and after doing your initial exercises I am completely pain free !!! I guess I was always suffering from muscle knots in trapezoid area. How many times a day we are supposed to do these exercises ? or can we do whenever there is pain ? Thanks for sharing Dr. I appreciate your help and support.
You can do these daily if they're helping (or just as needed), just go lightly and make sure you're not building any soreness. Hope they help for a long time to come!
The YT algorithm recommended your video. I have a chronic knot in my left trap, and it has been there for years! It affects my sleep, activities and even my gym visits. It is so painful, that I cannot do a bench press or lat pulldown without it pinching. Whenever I go to a massage therapist, I ask him/her to spend extra time on my shoulders/traps because of the chronic pain. Even to the point where I ask, to ignore the other parts of my body just to get *some* relief there. I tried the instructions while watching the video and got some relief after about 2mins. I will keep on doing this, and hopefully the pain gets managed. Thank you!
Thanks so much for all the information you share! The perfect videos for what I’m currently working through pop to the top of my feed always in perfect timing and are so helpful! 🙏🏻💗✨
Thank you so so so much for the video. I was cycling to work last week, up a hill and managed to strain my neck/shoulder muscles on the right-side. It has been causing me so much discomfort for a week, including the tension headaches as you mention. Your video has saved me a trip to my local chiropractor. Thanks again :)
I can’t wait to try these exercises! I always, 100% of the time have rocks in my neck and traps that continue down between my shoulder blades. Thank you, I truly hope this works because I have tried so many different things!!!
i have had neck pain for 2 weeks now, the exercises really work, neck pain 90% gone. They are easy to do, practical, and effective....Thanks so much, Dr. Rowe
I didn’t even look this up. This came to me from the UA-cam gods and omg did I ever need this. I spent the day at an amusement park and rode many roller coasters. I had massive knots on my trapezius muscles. And the massages without balls immensely helped my pain.
This was amazing! My neck had gone so tight I could barely lift my head from the pillow without agony!! This has given me so much relief!! Thank you so much!
I have a chronic neurological condition called Chiari malformation type one. For years I have suffered from coat hanger pain because of it. I have spent a lot of my life, time, and money going to physical therapy to find relief for my coat hanger pain. I have had to pause going several times throughout the years simply because I cannot afford it. I am at a season in my life right now where I’m not going to physical therapy because I cannot afford it. I found this video today and only wished I had known about it when you put it out two years ago. I’m going to be sharing this video with fellow Chiari malformation brothers and sisters to help them. Chiari malformation patients are told that we cannot do chiropractor type exercises because our spines are already affected by this condition (any more could be fatal). I was worried about watching your video simply because of the name of your center. But I am so glad that I did, as these exercises do not affect the spine at all. Thank you so much for putting this out there.
Thanks for all of the step by step detailed videos. They really help. I have noticed one important thing that you dont stress in your videos...during all of these exercises its extremely important to breathe deep and exhale to relax. I love all of your techniques! They help me tremendously. Thank you for making at home therapy possible.
I use to get a tingling sensation which would hurt and lack of movement and neck pain many physical therapy couldn’t help me but this video really made feel so relax and good thank you 🙏🏼
THANK YOU!!! I strained the Rt side and upper neck area 2 weeks ago from using heavier weights ( dumbbells) than I should have. These exercises are BRiLLIANT !! Due to Covid pandemic, I didn’t want to go to my Chiropractor and this caused even more stress.. but your video and explanation will help me tremendously!
I've had a knot by my right shoulder blade for a few days, and it was so bad today I had pain when I was swallowing my food. My right shoulder and surrounding muscles constantly bother me because of how I hold myself. Well, I tried your method with a tennis ball, and those arm movements are what did it for me! Holding my arm up and across my body, I was really able to get to that knot. I then continued on with my mini Shiatsu massager, sitting in a large chair with my feet up on the seat, my arms held up by resting them on my knees, and leaning back on the massager. The knot relaxed, and I actually discovered one down lower that was radiating up to my neck and shoulder! Worked on that the same way, and now my shoulder feels like jello and more relaxed than it's been in like a year or longer. Sorry for the book, but thank you so much!!!
I KNOW these things as a professional dancer. YET your informative tutorial instruction has given me more ideas to take my knot therapy further. THANK YOU! You are an AMAZING EXPERT in your field!!! Many Blessings to you for All those that you help. I'm massaging my neck now after viewing this. My two fingers are getting sore themselves. Lol
Dr. Rowe. I have been doing some of the stretches you have posted for upper back, neck and shoulders. Just this morning I realized I can actually turn my head farther than before( looking over shoulder). I do have disc issues and this video and others have helped so much. Thank you
Wow, sir! This is awesome! I do the ball on the wall but never thought to put it in a pillow case. My ball keep hitting the floor when I moved it to a different spot on my back. Lol So glad I came onto your video. WOW!! Thank U.
I work in a bindery warehouse and basically we do exactly what the title is. Print and bind books, mainly for schools and the military, and it involves LOTS of repetitive movements that create horrible knots in that trapezius muscle. I’ve been rubbing this huge knot since I got home from work a few hrs ago and it’s done nothing but make it worse so I googled the best way to get them out and found you. Well let me tell you I don’t think I’ve ever clicked like and subscribe faster because my pain level went from a strong 6 to about a 2 or 3 after just a couple reps! 🥰 I’ve had these things FOR YEARS and not even my chiropractor helped me. Thank you so much! You are amazing so please keep these videos coming! ❤️
Oh thnku some much I was suffering from sever kinda pain on my shoulda n neck and came to know that there are Knott..was applying heat, hot shower using pain killers and oil massage but nothing worked out that I saw your video and literally I have no words to thankyou,it's my exam week and I was littt crying due to aches .... followed this just 3 times and every thing resolved...thanks to Almighty
My muscles are so tired. I had 3rd Stage Mutilple Myeloma which ruined my spine. I have been in so much pain longer than 3 months. I needed some non medicinal relief and thanks to you Doc, I got it. Anterior Spnal fusion leaves you with major muscle spasms as well. Thanks so much!!
I would like to advise you to watch Dr.Berg's videos about intermittent fasting. This has really helped in many cancer cases, and totally cured them. I ask Allah to heal you.
Sir, you are awesome! Clear videos, simple bit effective exercises. With this and your other videos, I've been at it for less than a week, and have better feeling in my lower back and shoulders than I've had in years of triathlon training. Will send links to all my contacts! Thank you for sharing this knowledge with the world.
I'm sure working from home has destroyed my posture and the tension headaches which came on once a week or so started appearing every other day. I've tried meditation, deep breathing, over the counter anti-inflammatories, magnesium supplements but nothing really helps. I found your clips today and few minutes of self massage as directed and the pounding in my head has dropped to a background hum and the vein in the my temple which felt like a steel cable has softened like butter. You are a miracle worker! Thank you so much for this clip!
Wow! The tip about putting the ball inside the pillow case is the best! It's a fight to use it alone, it keeps falling. I'll definitely try with the pillow cover!
I found this video this morning and it's a game changer. I struggle with base of skull, neck, and trap tightness on a daily basis. for years. This will be my morning wake up routine! Thanks for posting this! I'll keep you posted on my progress!!
You are amazing. I got instant relief from tension in lower neck and upper back by doing first few exercises. Was dealing with it from last 1.5 months, and it's gone like magic. Will update after following up from my Doctor. Update after doctor followup - I'm now off pain medication and ointments. Doctor said he'll continue medication for tinnitus and vertigo which I was experiencing. Still need to take precautions while lifting or putting jerk on neck.
Your videos have been very helpful to me and I’ve saved a few for future reference. I get pain from knots and tightness in my upper back and neck area often, always on the left side. It becomes so painful at times I will spend hours a day attempting to get the knots to release. It will go on for weeks with little relief. I’m thankful for professionals, such as yourself, for making these videos!
This is for the Russian hair dresser lady, who asked me if I have migraines as she coloured my hair. That day was the seventh day of unbearable migraine I was having, and this happened more than 12 years ago, she asked me if she could touch my neck. I was like yes but how did you know I have migraines. She said from your eyes. I went back asking for her, salon was closed and no one had her phone, YOU saved my life. THANK YOU THANK YOU. No more migraines. Fairview Mall.
I use a racquet ball under my traps while lying down on the floor and move side to side and up and down. Gets out the knots. I'll try the exercises in the video . Thanks for posting ❤️
THANK YOU AGAIN! I have been suffering for years on a consistent muscle knot on my shoulder blade, your UA-cam content are a real life saver & have recently subscribed to your channel.
Sir could you please make a video about our side ribs and about their posture and the exercise to pop the side ribs back and in straight position with the front ribs And one Question here : does a back pain effect the posture of ribs. Btw your videos are very helpful and satisfying and it would be very helpful for me if you answer my questions and make a video about the rib posture
Im having scholiosis and it turned my chest ribs to the side, i have a bigger muscle than the other between the shoulder blades n the spine, its really big on one side that the other. Working for it but idk like more techniques for releasing this. That muscle grew by my fault, always trying to straighten it by rotating outsideand pushing back, it just grew. Shit i shouldve done it for both but i never thought it would make it grow. Its like i worked out only one muscle on a side. I also think that im internally rotated with the shoulder and trying always to get them back where they came from, back n down
Omg. I'm an artist and I've had multiple concussions. My neck has not completely stopped hurting at any point in the last few years. These are the first exercises to truly make an instant, noticeable difference. Thank you so much for making this video.
I was very tight in my neck area after trying this i heard it crack a bit but it felt so good and after doing this my neck loosened up. Im so happy i stumbled across your videos so far ive tried all of them . im feeling a difference. Thank you so much .. And God bless you. # relief from pain!!
Thank you for this video . I have been having severe pain in the back and could not sleep. Did physio, went to the doctor no relief. But following your exercise gave me so much relief. Thank you and God Bless.
I’ve had knot in the left side of my neck for almost a week. Came on here and your video is helping with the process rather quickly. Stretching is really uncomfortable for me but I need to do more of it to start feeling better. Thank you for this video!!!
I am suffering from neck pain from the last 3 days.. Have watched a lot of videos but nothing worked.. Suddenly I have found this video & tried your techniques for 3 minutes, now I am feeling much better Alhamdulillah.. It is very helpful. THANKS A LOT DOCTOR. Lots of Dua for you.
@@DrRowe it's now 22:50pm in South Africa and I cannot sleep due to the pain on my neck. Am trying your exercises out while I'm in bed. Just a little relief
I have been getting migraines again from the knots. Watched your video......applied the technique and felt the release of the knots in BOTH shoulders!!! HEAVEN!!!
I had to come back to leave a review because THIS WORKED!! For almost 2 weeks I’d been getting tension headaches that woke me up in the middle of the night and were extremely debilitating. I was alternating Advil and Tylenol throughout the day. Then, when I saw my doctor, I got stronger pain meds and a muscle relaxer until I could see a physical therapist and it STILL didn’t work. At the end of my rope, I googled how to fix this and saw this video. I tried it yesterday and didn’t notice much difference. My head still hurt, but the massage at least felt good. I went to bed without a pillow and with another dose of Tylenol worried I’d wake up with another painful headache again. I even put extra ice packs in the freezer to prep for my midnight pain. But oh my god…I SLEPT ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. No tension head aches waking me up! When I woke up this morning, the pressure points felt sore and my neck is still a bit stiff/sore, but the headache is gone! I haven’t taken any pain meds so far and I’ve been awake for 4 hours! I feel normal again!! I’m still keeping my physical therapy appointment just because I’m prone to tense and stiff neck problems, but this has been such a life saver in the meantime! Thank you so so much!
Ummm. Has anyone told you you’re amazing ?! Thank you for this video! So simple but so, so effective! Hunched shoulders and a desk worker, so I always have a sore neck, shoulders and upper back (and knots) but this is fantastic relief! Thank you 🙏🏼
So I payed loads of money to learn these tricks and then found it for free here. And I even learn more here. I’m going to share this video with others who will gain help with this. Thank you so much for making videos like this and to help people like me. Unfortunately I’m dealing with a frozen shoulder so I can’t do some of the exercises as I can’t hold my arm up that long and some parts I can’t even reach. But ball against the doorframe helps a lot to release peg muscles tightness and also using the ball in a pillow case on the back is really helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It’s much appreciated.
I watched to see if you were regurgitating other instructional videos. Nope, you are thorough, succinct, and demonstrative. No filler words, a big plus. I have subscribed and shared. 💪🏾💪🏾
Thank you i'm gonna do this every day until my knots are gone. I can feel them loosing up already but they where sitting there for years so will take some time. Hope I feel being in my twenties soon again.
Sheeshhh! You are a MIRACLE worker sir! I come straight to your channel for any aches or tight areas in my back. Every exercise you suggest works beautifully, alot of the times instantly! It's especially helpful how you break the exercises down step by step. Your also wonderful at explaining exactly what causes the injuries, and how to prevent them in the future. So many thank yous! and endless gratitude! Sending ❤ from Maryland😊
I had a little tennis dog ball and it’s perfect since I’m petite. Your explanation is excellent. I have knots everywhere except the front. Been in pain for 3 weeks. These exercises were exactly what I needed. I feel release starting on some of them. I’m so ecstatic I can finally help myself. Thank you so much.

I hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
This is insane! I've been suffering from upper back pain and a shooting pain in my right arm for weeks now. I have been doing the ball in the sock trick for years. I did find very tender knots around the shoulder blade and I thought I had found the culprit but no avail. I watched this video and decided to use the ball with my frontal muscles (chest) and OW OW AND OW I finally found the source!! Even saw Satan in his underwear and the pain diminished just like that. Theres still work to do as I have horrible posture but I can't thank you enough for your advice.
Thank you for home physical therapy. I used this and finally got relief
Happy to help, and thanks so much for watching!
Like my mom, I hold all my stress in my shoulders, and sometimes the knot in my left trap can get so painful it can wake me up and turn into a 6-8 hour tension headache through my whole kneck and skull that Advil and Tylenol barely takes the edge off. These exercises dropped the pain from an 8 to a 3, almost immediately. I cannot thank you enough! I've suffered with this for years!
I'll be checking out the rest of your videos, especially the one on the IT band since that's also a long term issue for me since I have tibial torsion and anteverted femurs, not enough to require surgery, but enough to annoy my hips and knees ;)
Once again, thank you!
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
I think this is the first UA-cam comment I ever write, but this really worked and my headache is gone. THANK YOU!
Great to hear! Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching.
@@Jontheinternet Thanks! How nice of you to reach out with advice to a stranger! I'll check it out
Honestly, Doctor, you are a KING in your field! I've been having some problems with my shoulder, neck, and hip for quite some time, but after watching many of your videos and trying all the techniques you are teaching, I've got quick pain relief within a couple of minutes. God bless you, Doctor! 🙏 Please Keep educating us on how our body functions and how to fix it! ❤💐A million thanks one more time!
Wonderful to hear you’re getting quick pain relief, and thanks for watching!
Dear Dr. Rowe, I had a lot of pain in neck and shoulder due to desk job. Usually first 1 hr of sitting I am fine, but afterwards it starts paining in the trap area and neck. I have improved sitting posture now and after doing your initial exercises I am completely pain free !!! I guess I was always suffering from muscle knots in trapezoid area. How many times a day we are supposed to do these exercises ? or can we do whenever there is pain ? Thanks for sharing Dr. I appreciate your help and support.
You can do these daily if they're helping (or just as needed), just go lightly and make sure you're not building any soreness. Hope they help for a long time to come!
@Tara Doring I can’t believe I used to sleep on my stomach. I can’t do it anymore it’s so uncomfortable.

Dr. Rowe, you have helped me reduce upper and lower back pain immensely. Thank you!
Glad to hear you're getting relief!
The YT algorithm recommended your video.
I have a chronic knot in my left trap, and it has been there for years! It affects my sleep, activities and even my gym visits. It is so painful, that I cannot do a bench press or lat pulldown without it pinching.
Whenever I go to a massage therapist, I ask him/her to spend extra time on my shoulders/traps because of the chronic pain. Even to the point where I ask, to ignore the other parts of my body just to get *some* relief there.
I tried the instructions while watching the video and got some relief after about 2mins.
I will keep on doing this, and hopefully the pain gets managed.
Thank you!
Please give us an update in the near future, thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity and for supporting the channel, I appreciate it!
Thanks so much for all the information you share! The perfect videos for what I’m currently working through pop to the top of my feed always in perfect timing and are so helpful! 🙏🏻💗✨
THANK YOU, Gabrielle, for supporting us! - Dr. Rowe -
Thank you so so so much for the video. I was cycling to work last week, up a hill and managed to strain my neck/shoulder muscles on the right-side. It has been causing me so much discomfort for a week, including the tension headaches as you mention. Your video has saved me a trip to my local chiropractor. Thanks again :)
Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
I can’t wait to try these exercises! I always, 100% of the time have rocks in my neck and traps that continue down between my shoulder blades. Thank you, I truly hope this works because I have tried so many different things!!!
Hope it helps, and please give us an update soon!
You Sir are a star! Your exercises have given me relief from shoulder and arm pain i've had for months, much repect from London Uk
Happy to help! Glad you found this video and got some solid relief, thanks for watching.
i have had neck pain for 2 weeks now, the exercises really work, neck pain 90% gone. They are easy to do, practical, and effective....Thanks so much, Dr. Rowe
Wonderful to hear you’re getting relief!
I didn’t even look this up. This came to me from the UA-cam gods and omg did I ever need this. I spent the day at an amusement park and rode many roller coasters. I had massive knots on my trapezius muscles. And the massages without balls immensely helped my pain.
Wonderful to hear you're getting relief!
This was amazing! My neck had gone so tight I could barely lift my head from the pillow without agony!! This has given me so much relief!! Thank you so much!
Great to hear you’re getting relief!
"I'm just going to self massage it with these two fingers..."
Releases my tension every time. FACTS.
I’ve been have this pain for three weeks now you’re a lifesaver thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad the exercises helped, and thanks so much for watching!
I have a chronic neurological condition called Chiari malformation type one. For years I have suffered from coat hanger pain because of it. I have spent a lot of my life, time, and money going to physical therapy to find relief for my coat hanger pain. I have had to pause going several times throughout the years simply because I cannot afford it. I am at a season in my life right now where I’m not going to physical therapy because I cannot afford it. I found this video today and only wished I had known about it when you put it out two years ago. I’m going to be sharing this video with fellow Chiari malformation brothers and sisters to help them. Chiari malformation patients are told that we cannot do chiropractor type exercises because our spines are already affected by this condition (any more could be fatal). I was worried about watching your video simply because of the name of your center. But I am so glad that I did, as these exercises do not affect the spine at all. Thank you so much for putting this out there.
Thanks for all of the step by step detailed videos. They really help. I have noticed one important thing that you dont stress in your videos...during all of these exercises its extremely important to breathe deep and exhale to relax. I love all of your techniques! They help me tremendously. Thank you for making at home therapy possible.
Good tip, and thanks for watching!
I use to get a tingling sensation which would hurt and lack of movement and neck pain many physical therapy couldn’t help me but this video really made feel so relax and good thank you 🙏🏼
Glad to hear it helped, and thanks for watching!
THANK YOU!!! I strained the Rt side and upper neck area 2 weeks ago from using heavier weights ( dumbbells) than I should have. These exercises are BRiLLIANT !! Due to Covid pandemic, I didn’t want to go to my Chiropractor and this caused even more stress.. but your video and explanation will help me tremendously!
That's FANTASTIC to hear! Thanks so much for watching.
I've had a knot by my right shoulder blade for a few days, and it was so bad today I had pain when I was swallowing my food. My right shoulder and surrounding muscles constantly bother me because of how I hold myself. Well, I tried your method with a tennis ball, and those arm movements are what did it for me! Holding my arm up and across my body, I was really able to get to that knot. I then continued on with my mini Shiatsu massager, sitting in a large chair with my feet up on the seat, my arms held up by resting them on my knees, and leaning back on the massager. The knot relaxed, and I actually discovered one down lower that was radiating up to my neck and shoulder! Worked on that the same way, and now my shoulder feels like jello and more relaxed than it's been in like a year or longer.
Sorry for the book, but thank you so much!!!
Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
I swear these videos are magic. Had such bad neck pain it triggered a three day migraine and this just fixed it all in less than a minute.
Great to hear you’re getting quick relief, and thanks so much for watching!
This is fantastic. Had to call in sick today because I couldn’t move my head and a migraine. This has helped immensely. Thank you.
Glad it helped, and thanks so much for watching.
I KNOW these things as a professional dancer. YET your informative tutorial instruction has given me more ideas to take my knot therapy further. THANK YOU! You are an AMAZING EXPERT in your field!!! Many Blessings to you for All those that you help. I'm massaging my neck now after viewing this. My two fingers are getting sore themselves. Lol
Glad you found the video and it's making a difference! Thanks for watching.
Thank you, you are a blessing sent from above.
Thanks so much for watching!
Dr. Rowe. I have been doing some of the stretches you have posted for upper back, neck and shoulders. Just this morning I realized I can actually turn my head farther than before( looking over shoulder). I do have disc issues and this video and others have helped so much. Thank you
That's wonderful!
Do you feel dizziness with the disc issue?
This man is a genius and a life saver. Might be the best, most useful videos on UA-cam.
Glad you found this video and it's helping. Thanks for watching too!
Oh my god, second excercise saved my life! Headache with neck ache went away almost instantly! Thank You so very much Sir!
Glad to hear that! Thanks so much for watching.
Thank You sir.
Please show how to fix routines for MS pain in the legs. I will be very thankful. 🙏
Wow, sir! This is awesome! I do the ball on the wall but never thought to put it in a pillow case. My ball keep hitting the floor when I moved it to a different spot on my back. Lol So glad I came onto your video. WOW!! Thank U.
Glad you found that simple method in this video, and thanks for watching!
I work in a bindery warehouse and basically we do exactly what the title is. Print and bind books, mainly for schools and the military, and it involves LOTS of repetitive movements that create horrible knots in that trapezius muscle. I’ve been rubbing this huge knot since I got home from work a few hrs ago and it’s done nothing but make it worse so I googled the best way to get them out and found you. Well let me tell you I don’t think I’ve ever clicked like and subscribe faster because my pain level went from a strong 6 to about a 2 or 3 after just a couple reps! 🥰 I’ve had these things FOR YEARS and not even my chiropractor helped me. Thank you so much! You are amazing so please keep these videos coming! ❤️
Glad you're getting quick relief, and thanks for the sub and supporting the channel!
Oh thnku some much I was suffering from sever kinda pain on my shoulda n neck and came to know that there are Knott..was applying heat, hot shower using pain killers and oil massage but nothing worked out that I saw your video and literally I have no words to thankyou,it's my exam week and I was littt crying due to aches .... followed this just 3 times and every thing resolved...thanks to Almighty
Wonderful to hear you're getting a lot of relief, and thanks so much for watching!
This was amazingly helpful, I am getting recurrent pain in my neck and shoulder for the last 2 years and this was instant relief.
Great to hear you got instant relief, and thanks for watching!
My muscles are so tired. I had 3rd Stage Mutilple Myeloma which ruined my spine. I have been in so much pain longer than 3 months. I needed some non medicinal relief and thanks to you Doc, I got it. Anterior Spnal fusion leaves you with major muscle spasms as well. Thanks so much!!
Glad the exercises are giving relief, and I hope it helps for a long time to come. Thanks so much for watching too.
I would like to advise you to watch Dr.Berg's videos about intermittent fasting. This has really helped in many cancer cases, and totally cured them.
I ask Allah to heal you.
Sir, you are awesome! Clear videos, simple bit effective exercises. With this and your other videos, I've been at it for less than a week, and have better feeling in my lower back and shoulders than I've had in years of triathlon training. Will send links to all my contacts! Thank you for sharing this knowledge with the world.
Thanks so much for sharing, and I hope these exercises help for a long time to come!
Modified radical neck dissection 10 years ago. These worked wonderfully well. Thank you!
Glad to hear that, and thanks for watching!
I'm sure working from home has destroyed my posture and the tension headaches which came on once a week or so started appearing every other day. I've tried meditation, deep breathing, over the counter anti-inflammatories, magnesium supplements but nothing really helps. I found your clips today and few minutes of self massage as directed and the pounding in my head has dropped to a background hum and the vein in the my temple which felt like a steel cable has softened like butter. You are a miracle worker! Thank you so much for this clip!
Thanks so much for watching!
Wow! The tip about putting the ball inside the pillow case is the best! It's a fight to use it alone, it keeps falling. I'll definitely try with the pillow cover!
It’s the simple things like that that make the biggest difference! Thanks for watching.
I found this video this morning and it's a game changer. I struggle with base of skull, neck, and trap tightness on a daily basis. for years. This will be my morning wake up routine! Thanks for posting this! I'll keep you posted on my progress!!
Please do, and thanks for watching!
At first I didn't think it's going to work, but it actually helped me.
Glad the exercises helped, and thanks so much for watching!
You are amazing. I got instant relief from tension in lower neck and upper back by doing first few exercises. Was dealing with it from last 1.5 months, and it's gone like magic. Will update after following up from my Doctor.
Update after doctor followup - I'm now off pain medication and ointments. Doctor said he'll continue medication for tinnitus and vertigo which I was experiencing. Still need to take precautions while lifting or putting jerk on neck.
Your videos have been very helpful to me and I’ve saved a few for future reference. I get pain from knots and tightness in my upper back and neck area often, always on the left side. It becomes so painful at times I will spend hours a day attempting to get the knots to release. It will go on for weeks with little relief. I’m thankful for professionals, such as yourself, for making these videos!
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
This is for the Russian hair dresser lady, who asked me if I have migraines as she coloured my hair. That day was the seventh day of unbearable migraine I was having, and this happened more than 12 years ago, she asked me if she could touch my neck. I was like yes but how did you know I have migraines. She said from your eyes. I went back asking for her, salon was closed and no one had her phone, YOU saved my life. THANK YOU THANK YOU. No more migraines. Fairview Mall.
I use a racquet ball under my traps while lying down on the floor and move side to side and up and down. Gets out the knots. I'll try the exercises in the video . Thanks for posting ❤️
Hope the exercises help, and thanks for watching!
I would like learn more those simple remedies as these are the main problems that our rural people lack . thank you
Make sure to check out the rest of our videos too, thanks for watching!
Thank you for how you explain things that many of us may not understand. I will look forward to attempting these suggestions.
Hope the exercises help, and thanks for watching!
THANK YOU AGAIN! I have been suffering for years on a consistent muscle knot on my shoulder blade, your UA-cam content are a real life saver & have recently subscribed to your channel.
Sir could you please make a video about our side ribs and about their posture and the exercise to pop the side ribs back and in straight position with the front ribs
And one Question here : does a back pain effect the posture of ribs.
Btw your videos are very helpful and satisfying and it would be very helpful for me if you answer my questions and make a video about the rib posture
Im having scholiosis and it turned my chest ribs to the side, i have a bigger muscle than the other between the shoulder blades n the spine, its really big on one side that the other. Working for it but idk like more techniques for releasing this. That muscle grew by my fault, always trying to straighten it by rotating outsideand pushing back, it just grew. Shit i shouldve done it for both but i never thought it would make it grow. Its like i worked out only one muscle on a side. I also think that im internally rotated with the shoulder and trying always to get them back where they came from, back n down
Thank you so much for the straightforward and clear instruction. I felt an immediate improvement...I will continue!
Great you're getting immediate relief!
Awesome relief exercises.
After i learned how to tuck my chin properly and to fix that forward head position I didnt need any of Those.
Posture is key! Thanks for watching.
How long did it take u to fix it??
I cannot stress this enough, get an inversion table and use it daily. It will do tremendous things for your overall head position and posture.
Omg. I'm an artist and I've had multiple concussions. My neck has not completely stopped hurting at any point in the last few years. These are the first exercises to truly make an instant, noticeable difference. Thank you so much for making this video.
Thanks for watching!
I was very tight in my neck area after trying this i heard it crack a bit but it felt so good and after doing this my neck loosened up. Im so happy i stumbled across your videos so far ive tried all of them . im feeling a difference. Thank you so much .. And God bless you.

Glad you found the video and are getting relief. Thanks for watching too!
I’ve had knot in the left side of my neck for almost a week. Came on here and your video is helping with the process rather quickly. Stretching is really uncomfortable for me but I need to do more of it to start feeling better. Thank you for this video!!!
Glad you’re getting relief!
I am suffering from neck pain from the last 3 days.. Have watched a lot of videos but nothing worked.. Suddenly I have found this video & tried your techniques for 3 minutes, now I am feeling much better Alhamdulillah..
It is very helpful. THANKS A LOT DOCTOR. Lots of Dua for you.
Thanks for watching!
Woke up about 30 min ago it's now 5am where i live and you've already saved me from this pain on my neck/shoulder THANK YOU
Great to hear you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
Damnn is this for real?!! I'm so shock by the results, after I did this, my neck and "trapezoid" pain is gone,thank you 💖
Great to hear that your pain is gone, and thanks so much for watching!
Came across this video at a perfect time because I've had a neck sprain / knot for two days now and it's killing me. Thank you for the tutorial.
Hope the exercises make a big difference, and please give us an update soon!
@@DrRowe it's now 22:50pm in South Africa and I cannot sleep due to the pain on my neck. Am trying your exercises out while I'm in bed. Just a little relief
Wow. This made my tension headache disappear when nothing else worked! There were knots in every spot mentioned in this vid. Thanks for sharing :)
Glad you found this video, and thanks so much for watching!
I have been getting migraines again from the knots. Watched your video......applied the technique and felt the release of the knots in BOTH shoulders!!! HEAVEN!!!
I had to come back to leave a review because THIS WORKED!! For almost 2 weeks I’d been getting tension headaches that woke me up in the middle of the night and were extremely debilitating. I was alternating Advil and Tylenol throughout the day. Then, when I saw my doctor, I got stronger pain meds and a muscle relaxer until I could see a physical therapist and it STILL didn’t work.
At the end of my rope, I googled how to fix this and saw this video. I tried it yesterday and didn’t notice much difference. My head still hurt, but the massage at least felt good. I went to bed without a pillow and with another dose of Tylenol worried I’d wake up with another painful headache again. I even put extra ice packs in the freezer to prep for my midnight pain. But oh my god…I SLEPT ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. No tension head aches waking me up! When I woke up this morning, the pressure points felt sore and my neck is still a bit stiff/sore, but the headache is gone! I haven’t taken any pain meds so far and I’ve been awake for 4 hours! I feel normal again!! I’m still keeping my physical therapy appointment just because I’m prone to tense and stiff neck problems, but this has been such a life saver in the meantime! Thank you so so much!
Thank you so much! I'll be trying that last one on a knot I've had for weeks from overuse.
Ummm. Has anyone told you you’re amazing ?! Thank you for this video! So simple but so, so effective! Hunched shoulders and a desk worker, so I always have a sore neck, shoulders and upper back (and knots) but this is fantastic relief! Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad you found the video and you’re getting relief. Thanks for watching too!
I thank you a lot because you came with the best expozition exactly when I was in a terrible pain like this. God bless you.
Glad to hear the exercises helped, and thanks so much for watching!
So I payed loads of money to learn these tricks and then found it for free here. And I even learn more here. I’m going to share this video with others who will gain help with this. Thank you so much for making videos like this and to help people like me. Unfortunately I’m dealing with a frozen shoulder so I can’t do some of the exercises as I can’t hold my arm up that long and some parts I can’t even reach. But ball against the doorframe helps a lot to release peg muscles tightness and also using the ball in a pillow case on the back is really helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It’s much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing, and I hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
I watched to see if you were regurgitating other instructional videos. Nope, you are thorough, succinct, and demonstrative. No filler words, a big plus. I have subscribed and shared. 💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks so much for the sub, and for sharing -- we really appreciate it!
Thank you i'm gonna do this every day until my knots are gone. I can feel them loosing up already but they where sitting there for years so will take some time. Hope I feel being in my twenties soon again.
Give us an update in the near future on how you're doing with these exercises, and thanks for watching!
This is just brilliant. Can't find words to thank you.
Just happy to help, and thanks so much for watching!
The 3rd Blues Brother got a job....and he is really good. Thanks Doc👍
Sheeshhh! You are a MIRACLE worker sir! I come straight to your channel for any aches or tight areas in my back. Every exercise you suggest works beautifully, alot of the times instantly! It's especially helpful how you break the exercises down step by step. Your also wonderful at explaining exactly what causes the injuries, and how to prevent them in the future. So many thank yous! and endless gratitude! Sending ❤ from Maryland😊
I had a little tennis dog ball and it’s perfect since I’m petite. Your explanation is excellent. I have knots everywhere except the front. Been in pain for 3 weeks. These exercises were exactly what I needed. I feel release starting on some of them. I’m so ecstatic I can finally help myself. Thank you so much.
