- In the following video, I demonstrate a very simple and effective method to self-treat that painful stiff neck feeling that we all get from time to time.
*************************************************
Have you ever woke up from a good night of sleep with a kink in your neck? How about not being able to move your head without pain? Yeah, me, too. How about a sore neck or a stiff neck after exercising or doing an activity like painting? Yep, I have had that, too.
So often this “kinked neck” or “stiff neck” feeling is easily self-treatable. In this video, I demonstrate a very simple and effective method to self-treat that painful stiff neck feeling that we all get from time to time.
If you want a more detailed explanation of neck pain and ways to prevent it from occurring, be sure to read my post on Neck Pain and Headaches? Work Your Core?! (www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor...) You will discover why it’s important to insure proper cervical core strength in order to not only alleviate neck pain and headaches, but also to prevent them from reoccurring.

Also, please refer to my video, What to Do When You Can’t Look Up ( • What to Do When You Ca... ).
I highly recommend the following book, Treat Your Own Neck, by Robin A. McKenzie (www.amazon.com/gp/product/098....

Yo this worked perfectly someone give this man a award of some kind
Ha ha! Glad it made a difference for you!
@@ThePhysicalTherapyAdvisor omg been trying to just crack my neck, because that's helped when it's been stiff over the past year, but it doesn't always crack and then it's just annoying. This method helped, just now when I couldn't crack it.
@@Epsylon21 Fantastic....Glad you found it helpful. I use this technique often as well when my neck is stiff from too much computer work.
Give him a degree lol.
Exactly! I am so amazed right now! 🤯
I wasn’t able to look to the left all morning. Now after 10 seconds with this technique I’m cured! So grateful
Excellent! Glad to hear that it helped you! Take care.
same like dang itt
Me too
Holy mackerel same. I am amazed
It’s not working
I scrolled through maybe 500 comments looking for someone who said it didn't work.... ALL OF THEM saw immediate total or partial pain relief or improvement in neck mobility....I'm going to teach this to all who I think can benefit from it...... Thank you!
Yes, definitely share with others. It can be very helpful.
Protect this man at all cost!!! Just saved me a trip to the chiropractor.
Glad to hear! It's a great technique. Take care!
Been having neck pain for the past couple days. Was ab to go to the chiropractor within the hr. No need!! This is magic!!! And so simple & QUICK! Thanks a million man!!
I am surprised no one has invented a device to crack your neck.
Bro, no chiropractor ever. Massage therapy sure, but popping you neck does not have a positive effect on the muscle
Does nothing if you pop it apart from realease of horormone so its relaxing its good for you but it wont be good in tgis case@@blakewilliams5344
This is great! Woke up with a kinked neck and just a few of these stretches has alleviated about 80% of my movement restriction and pain. I feel like I've learnt a life skill!
That is great to hear. Glad it was helpful! Take care.
It actually worked!!
Literally was crying in pain… chiropractor did nothing. With your technique, I might be able to sleep recently tonight!! Thank you so much…
You're welcome. It's a great technique. Take care!
@@ThePhysicalTherapyAdvisor jo joj j to jojooojojojojojojojoj
Wow. I mean naturally, nothing works immediately 100% perfectly ... But his seriously helped my kinked neck significantly. Thanks!
It's a great technique. Glad to hear that you benefited from it!
3 years later still helping people homie 😭👍🏽
Dude, 42 years of life and just learnt this. Life saver today. My neck was killing me. Did this and 20 seconds later, solved. This should be taught in kindergarten!!!
I'm happy to hear that it helped! Please share with your family and friends. Take care!
Didn’t take pain fully away but gave me a lot of relief and can move neck better thank you so much
Great! I typically advise continuing to do the technique until a person is pain free and/or has full neck range of motion. Take care.
Give this man the noble peace prize
My mom doubted this and the kink in my neck has been killing me for a week and i tried this and it worked almost instantly thank you so much
Great, glad to hear that you got some relief! Take care!
Why moms always hating on our self education tactics 😂
I woke up this morning with awful pain. I looked all over the internet and then found this. I did the cycle about 6 times and I almost have full range of motion again.
That is awesome. Glad that you found the technique helpful!
Out of all the towel videos and stretch videos this actually 99% relieved after like 10 seconds
Great, glad to hear that the technique was helpful! Take care.
Wow this really was effective. Thanks! Those who disliked this video have no necks
Ha ha! Thanks for your feedback. Take care!
I’m a nursing mom of 5 my neck keeps getting SOOOOOO messed up, I can’t do anything. I’ve been doing it for 5 mins and I’m BLOWN AWAY with how much better it is. THANK YOU!!!!
You're welcome, Nicole! I'm glad it helped. Sounds like you have your hands full. Prioritize self-care as much as you can squeeze in. Here is one of my blog posts that you may find helpful: www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com/2019/04/03/5-tips-to-ease-neck-and-shoulder-pain/
@@ThePhysicalTherapyAdvisor I agree, that’s why our garage is our gym. I usually do burpees and it fixed my neck lol but NOT this time. It was bad! Day 2 and I barely feel it. Thanks again
@@abidinglifefarm1717 Great, glad to hear! Take care!
Oh gosh. I am nursing my 2nd and my neck is all sorts of messed up lol.
I’m a toddler mom who woke up with a crick in the neck, and it was so so painful! I was so worried about how I would go through the day with my 1.5 year old and not collapse with the pain. You’re an answer to prayer! Thank you so so so much! This helped me regain enough movement to get through the day
Fantastic. Packing a toddler around is definitely hard on the body. :)
thank you so much! i randomly woke up last night and it was so bad my head was too heavy to get up thank you!
I've had that happen too.....This technique can be very helpful....All the best!
Bruh I had that I thought I was about to die
@@lilnarie Well, I hope you got some relief and are doing better now!
I could hardly move my neck to the left without a lot of pain. I tried this and I felt the vertebrae shift! I now have a lot more range to the left, with far less pain! I’m going to keep doing this until it is fully resolved.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Sounds like a good plan. Take care!
Thank you! This technique works. My neck is immediately better, not 100% but SO MUCH BETTER!
Glad it helped! I typically advise continuing to do the technique until you are pain free and/or have full neck range of motion. Take care!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This is gold. Thank you
You're welcome. Take care!
Omg I know you might be doubting yourself reading the comments but I’ve done this now twice and it doesn’t 100% instantly go away, but the instant difference is amazing !!
Often one time can be enough to really help with the pain and loss of mobility. But IF the vertebral segment involved is particularly stiff or inflamed you may need to do this technique multiple times a day for a few days for complete recovery. There is no risk to repeatedly doing the technique as long as you are not being too aggressive. Really appreciate the feedback! Thank you!!!
I honestly didn’t expect it to 100% fix the problem but it definitely is relieving. I feel if u do this every few hours it will make u heal faster
OOOOOOH MMMYYYYY GOD. I haven't been able to turn my neck without pain for the last 5 days. Did something in my sleep after a day of moving heavy furniture into our new home. It's been horrible. I've tried to get my SO to rub my neck, my back, my shoulders etc and nothing has helped.
I did this THREE TIMES... and it felt almost 100% better. It tightened back up after about 5 minutes but it's SOMETHING!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you from someone who suffers from such horrible neck pain/migraines, back issues etc. THANK YOU!!!
Glad to hear it helped! Here is a blog post that you might find helpful: www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com/2016/09/14/cervicogenic-headaches-a-real-pain-in-the-neck-and-head/
Omg. Coworkers watched me do this, and they had no idea what I was doing. Then they heard my neck pop and heard me scream yes lol. I’m a believer. Awesome vid! Neck feels way better.
Ha ha! Best to always keep the coworkers guessing.
Shouts from a fellow 208’er... This worked great!
Glad to hear that and from a local Idahoan! Take care.
OMG this worked like a charm. I was in the weight room and pulled something in my neck and this alleviated 90% of the pain. Great video 👍
Thanks, it's a great technique. Glad it helped!
This man deserves a nobel prize
7 days of neck pain free at last. Who knew Thank you greatly
Glad to hear that it helped. Take care!
Simply put, it works! Whoever knew something so simple would solve a crick in the neck! Thank you so much. I was walking around all day in discomfort and after watching your video, a few minutes later, pain gone!!
Thanks for sharing. Happy to help!
Which bone exactly is he talking about
This technique was my childhood.
This worked, I checked my blind spot- avoided a crash. This man saved my life, No, multiple lives.
I woke up this morning w a horrible crook in my neck. I tried this & I kid you not the pain is completely gone. This shit really works !!! Thanks so much Dr. Ben Shatto
Omg! Thank you! I've been miserable all day!
Great, glad to hear that it helped you!
Same !!
This is definitely making a difference, thank you! My sudden kink in my neck was so painful I couldn’t move and it’s feeling better each time I do it. If it doesn’t work the first time, do the exercise a number of time (didn’t see a difference at first, glad I tried it a few more times). Thank you so much, please keep making videos like these- we all appreciate it!!
Yes, repeated application is often needed.
This MAN NEEDS A REWARD 🎉
I did this like 4 times in a row and it immediately stopped.Thank you so much!
You're welcome...glad it helped!
Omg, I can't believe that's just worked, my neck felt better almost instantly, thank you so much, it was like magic, that's crazy
You are very welcome....I've had to use this trick plenty of times myself :)
This worked had the worst kink in my neck broke my neck almost 10 years ago this is gonna be a life saver

2 YEARS LATER THIS MAN IS STILL WORKING MAGIC
I get constant neck kicks but today was especially bad. The pain is al the way down my shoulder blade. But this gave me some relief and I'm super grateful
Fantastic....If you are getting multiple kinks then there is definitely something else causing this.

This worked perfectly I couldn’t even look straight. So helpful and alleviated the pain almost immediately!
Reading through these comments and this guy is literally the most kind and wholesome person on the planet!
I randomly got a cramp in my neck while at work and didn’t want to go home early. I tried this and YUP, I’m feeling better!
boy this is incredible! Literally like magic, i did it 3 to 4 times after waking up with a bad neck and boom! After 3 or 4 rotations i feel better. Save and share this video with all your sore neck friends!
It's a great technique. Thanks for sharing!
Finally something that's not a stretch! This is amazing!
Glad to hear that it's working well for you! Take care.
Ok, so, I totally called bs esp after watching several videos for a kink in my neck. It absolutely helped!
Glad to hear that it worked for you! Take care.
my neck made the weirdest sound when I did this. it felt like I instantly was able to stretch out a bundled up cord. I am truly amazed. Thank you!
It's a great technique. Take care!
Amazing!!! 45 seconds into your video & I have OVER 50% relief from a left-sided kink in my neck! Thank you from my ❤!
Oh my gosh I have watched so many neck kink videos and yours is actually working! I'm not out of the dark... I've got to do it a lot... But I'm noticing a huge difference compared to all the other videos. ❤️
Glad to hear! Be sure to check out my other video on neck pain for other techniques that may help: ua-cam.com/video/OD2fOaN2YDo/v-deo.html.
Omg...I wasn't expecting it to work that fast, or barely any at all. I was actually scared to drive because I could hardly turn my neck to the left, now I can almost turn it fully to both sides with no pain. This feels like a life hack we all should've learned as a welcoming gift into our 30s.
My husband JUST tried this & it worked!!! He pulled on his neck twice and had instant relief!! Praise God for this man!! Amazing!! Thank you! 👏👏
Fantastic! Glad he is feeling better
Could literally feel all the pressure in my neck just release after a few times doing this. Thank you good sir.
Excellent! Glad to hear that the technique was helpful. Take care.
After over a week of constant pain (so bad that it was taking my breath away) this finally gave me relief! Thank you for sharing!

This worked perfectly. This guy is THE MAN
Hey, that is fantastic that you had success with this treatment strategy. Take care!

I can't believe how effective this was and how immediate. Everyone needs to see this video!
Thank you Sarah.....Thankful it was helpful for you!

Glad it helped! I typically advise continuing to do the technique until a person is pain free and/or has full neck range of motion. Take care!
Oh my god same but for the right
Was it like a normal string of pops but with a quite empty pop at the end
Edit: happened again and I rushed right back here
holy crap. it didn't fix it immediately, but i can look farther left now, and I can rotate my head sideways which I couldn't before watching this. I will keep repeating this exercise throughout the day. Thank you very much!
Happy to hear. It's a great technique. Take care.
This worked! I did it like 7 times! You’re Godsent!
