I have osteoarthritis and PTSD. I tense all muscles 24/7. I did this exercise and the shoulder and neck exercise and I have never felt so relaxed before. I have minimized the pain in the neck shoulders and back. I have just saved several hundred Danish kroner per chiropractor visit. Thank you very much!!! I am just about to cry here but for good reason! Thank you !!!!
Which neck and shoulder exercise?.
I had the same experience as yourself after doing my first neck and shoulder exercise on this channel.. I was really very emotional!
@@hannahlily11 Can you please tell me what exercise did you do?.✌️
@@luyzqint3760 Sure. I'll also share the ones I have done afterwards

Thank you! I am a 46yo forcefully retired ballerina/contortionist & veterinary nurse. Last year, at 45, I was finally diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/Disease. My one type one collagen came back with new-to-the-world mutations. We discovered my father has it as well (he was 72 last year & as of the one doc visit in July, we are still the only two in the genetic registry with this mutation.). Ballet was my life. I had a terrible stage injury to my right foot/ankle in June 2008 (5 years before I ever heard of HSD or EDS). My foot surgeon, who deals with ballerinas & other athletes has called it a career-ender. (Close to 3 decades of dancing & performing & 4 with teaching little ones.) I just had foot reconstruction three in December 2020. I also need my left shoulder reconstructed again, but we are holding off for as long as possible since now we know I have some collagen that just isn't really doing its job very well. I have to wait until I get paid, but am planning on becoming a Patreon supporter this week. The few videos I have watched have helped. Now that we know my true health issue after finally getting to a geneticist, I am being taken more seriously & the medical dismissals of "just fibro & mental health" comments have mostly stopped since switching to docs who deal with the constellations of EDS symptoms. (I have been dismissed for most of my adult life.) No one ever looked at all the falls, subluxations, dislocations, injuries, etc. Or put the puzzle pieces together. This video alone stopped the terrible crunching & grinding that happens in both shoulders at about a 45 degree angle. They are still catching on the way down, but at least that terrible noise is gone. I have been working towards more natural health methods, anti-inflammatory eating, etc for years now. I plan to incorporate your techniques into my daily life. With every doc visit, we seem to uncover something that has plagued me since birth, but now has a name, & therefore some coping techniques to utilize. (Like the rare Bertoletti's Syndrome back issue & some more common, but painful back conditions.) Thank you so much. I do not know how UA-cam knew I needed to look up Feldenkrais, but it was a great reminder!
WOW! Taro, this really created more spaciousness and my arms felt looser and lengthened. Thanks so much for these amazing "micro exercises"
my pleasure!
My arm was numb and in pain before I began and it feels soooo much better! I am so grateful for your channel! your technique is magic! So happy you appeared to me on UA-cam!
I've had severe pain in my back between my shoulders for months and just doing this exercise once has already made a huge difference! Thanks for your videos and sharing your knowledge🙏
Glad to hear it!
Just have to say that the sun shining in your windows, w the shadows of the items on your windowsill... the sun shining in, onto the floor, naturally getting dim and then brighter... was magical. And so much better than the perfunctory "studio lighting" most ppl use these days. This natural feel really lends itself to your healing practices theme.
Might seem minor to you, or others ...but I just had to let you know that I noticed it. And it was wonderful. And your entire approach to healing, and making videos, keeps me engaged w you and your channel.
So, thank you. I am grateful that some people have held onto being genuine 🙏
Thank you!! our blinds are having some issues so I tried to put blankets over to reduce the sun reflection. never thought that people would actually enjoy this imperfect lightening. So glad to hear you actually enjoyed this natutal lighting effect!!
@@TaroIwamoto nature heals... so it makes sense that one would want to invite it in, instead of a studio that provides pseudo contentment.
Also loved the wood flooring. Just made the whole space warm as well. Kudos.
I loved that too!
I too noticed the shadows and lighting…it seemed to make the video more interesting…will be trying out this exercise soon
I think this was more effective than my $100 chiropractor visit this morning. Thank you so much for making this content!
I definitely felt my arm moving smoother ,thank you
I got injured a couple years back and it’s been debilitating and nothing has worked for my tension but I’ve been admittedly binge watching your videos but this is the first tension and pain relief I’ve had in years. I’m so thankful, thank you for sharing
OH MY GOD THANK YOU!
I had a knot between my spine and shoulder blade for weeks after [i am ashamed to admit] getting a new video game and holding the controller slouched over for long periods at a time... then I fell asleep on the couch and that did me in. I had pain down to my elbow and was almost unable to turn my head to the left.
After doing several of your neck and shoulder tension excercises, I was doing the one in this video and it sounded like someone snaped a handful of pencils in half.... and then it was just gone. I felt high it was so much better, i did not even notice my sense of touch in my hand was reduced til it came flooding back. Thank you again. I am sharing you with everyone I hear complaining of stiff neck and headaches.
I will be seeing a chiropractor soon, because it seems I have nerves pinched somewhere. But these motions have helped the temporay tension and knotting that whatever the displaced skeleton parts are aggrivating.
This was instant relief for me, thank you so much! I even used my massager to see if the knots were still there, thinking that just the pain went away, but they are both gone thank you so much! Your video is the truth all these other videos have never helped, yours is the first!🤗
Seriously Taro, thank you and God bless you.
I could tell a difference immediately after completing on left shoulder blade. So I decided to do the other side. There was so much tension in this area of my back it was difficult to breathe easily as I completed the exercise. I carry all my tension in my upper back and neck. Subscribed and will be checking out more videos.
Thank you for subscribing!
I got here because I have the same problem 😬 getting tired of paying for massages for nods in my shoulder blade
@@yennyjen5742 did this simple exercise help?
Thank you for your time and advice 🙏🏾 ... not the quick fix that everybody wants instantly, bit this movement certainly helped me experience less pain/discomfort after performing it. I guess I should continue doing it regularly repeatedly and see how much more difference it makes after a period or time
This was really helpful! I often have those stubborn, painful knots between my shoulder blades and they drive me insane - this exercise actually helped! Thank you so, so much.
Found your UA-cam channel after viewing your TikTok and going to try all your shoulder, neck exercises. Thanks, again. 💕💪🏾🤸♀️👟
welcome to my channel!!
Ten years ago I was in a horrible car accident that left me with injuries to my collarbone, ribs, sternum, and many other places. It's left me in pain ever since and with a disfigured collarbone-I didn't realize I probably needed surgery (bad advice given unfortunately). I've tried yoga and other excises, plus all kinds of other therapies, and I gotta say that your micro movement videos have changed absolutely EVERYTHING for me. First time doing this movement just now: my arm and hand of my injured side swelled up (typically happens, usually when hiking). Second time just now: I can't tell you the relief I feel! Idk how to describe this positive feeling, but it's like feeling air on my skin for the first time ever. Swelling instantly gone. I'm about to do this again.... THANK YOU and please keep making these!!
Finally, something that actually works! Thanks man, better than a half dozen physical therapists!
My second video I have watched this evening and feeling so much less pain. Can't wait to do more videos! Thank you so much.
WOW! I felt an improvement in just one try. Amazing! Will definitely keep doing this. THANK YOU!!!!!
So so good amazing how quickly the body responds to these exercises! Thanks so much
Years of pain and tension Instantly released after watching and practicing this quick and simple exercise, Thank you so much! Tried your other videos as well and helped so much, Thank you for sharing!
Thank you . All your exercises are fantastic. The results are instantaneous. Your truly know your stuff.
I noticed that you're giving free pain relief for many people out of the goodness in your heart. and have done what many of chiros i've been to haven't, establish the mental reasoning behind the madness. thank you mr. iwamoto
I love this simple and powerful movement. Thank you!
Been waiting for this video. Many thanks! So helpful after years of tension.
Such a simple exercise yet amazing results, this is the second one of this guy I have tried both have helped my neck and shoulder . .. thanks … I’ll keep watching his videos ..
Thanks! Accessible Feldenkrais instruction, much appreciated
Thanks it helped me! I honestly didn't think it would but it did. Cheers sir
It’s all about bringing awareness to how your body feels, relax breathe and release after that and then the effects will compound over time. There’s no instant fix ever. I love your advice and how you’re teaching awareness through your practice thank you!!
I'm a critical care RN, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. I've been injured on the job moving patients more times than I can count, and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you, Taro!
Glad to hear!
My daughter is an ER nurse and like yourself she has hurt herself moving or restraining patients. Thank you for your work. I hope you will continue to heal your body.

Wow. I could certainly feel a difference. Amazing. Thank you so much. Lynn.
wow. just found. well explained. liked and subscribed. shoulder blade and neck tension/pain for past 6 months. I disc golf and the pain has been keeping me from throwing. felt immediate relief. like your approach and rationale and that the exercises are easy to do anywhere. THANKS!
Thank you, Taro. It worked, I immediately felt relief on my left shoulder and neck area. And the best surprise of all, a headache which I initially thought was migraine of the left side went away just like that. I suppose it was actually a headache caused by tightening of the left scapular area. Wow! This is great! :)
Another miracle! Wow, thank you
Wow! My left shoulder has been tied up forever and I’ve tried all kinds of therapies and stretches and exercises. This gave an instant result! I haven’t had this much range of motion for years! Thank you!
Thank you for this simple exercise - I can feel a change and have a growing awareness of how my body moves by watching your videos
It worked! Thank you!
I'm so glad I found your videos!
I've been suffering with CPTSD and what my doctor calls "pathological" insomnia. It's horrible. Ten years now. The body has no time to recover and most of the pain and tension is in my neck. Your demonstrations have helped me so , so much and I just wanted to thank you!
"" THANK YOU ""
Same. NAET changed my life.
Iwamoto... thank you. I have to repeat this exercise more later.
This was such a big help thank you!!!
Awesome!! I noticed a great difference! I'm going to do this exercise everyday! thanks so much Taro!
Thank you! I felt the relief immediately.
As a physio, this approach was a breath of fresh air! Definitely felt a difference. I'll be adding this to my tool box for patients - thank you 🙏
Thank you!!
What a great simple and effective exercise. Thank you! 🙏
Your videos have been a game changer for me. Thank you!
Taro you are a hero!
Really great video and explanation. The tips to focus on the shoulder blade particularly on the relaxing of the arm really helped, as well as to do it slow.
Instant relief... Thank you so much!!!
Wow!!! Amazing❤
Amazing results. Thank you.
I love all of your videos. Combining this video with your Scoliosis video has relieved the acute chronic pain in my hips, back, neck and shoulder.
Awesome!!
Most helpful! Thank you!
I started hearing popping sounds (like tendons popping) coming from my chest, above the breasts and instantly noticed the tension and tight pulling sensation started to dissipate without soreness like you get from trigger point therapy and massage.
Absolutely magic!
WOW!! This is incredible!! Thank you so much for these videos 🤗💖
You have got to be kidding me!? I've been trying to figure out how to fix this for years and that's all it took? Thank you!
Military stretches used to work but lately my blades locked up due to an older injury in my teens that comes back more often but this just released a lot of pressure that years bugged me. Thank you so much for this. You should get the military to pay you for these kinds of stretches to be put into basic training
So very helpful. Thank you
This helped a lot, thank you!
This is amazing. Thank you so much!
For the first time, I’ve had a stubborn knot release without having to have outside aid ie a person or apparatus. Thank you so much for this information.
Before the exercise, I could barely feel my shoulder blades moving freely at all. After, it was as if they had been released to do their job! Thank you so much! This has helped way more than a trigger point ball ever did.
awesome!
This is so amazing!! At 63,you are helping me imensly!! Very helpful, God bless you!!
you are welcome!
Thanks Taro!
Definitely felt an improvement from before and after. Thx for your videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’m a hairdresser and my fiancée is in construction and painting. We’ve watched two of your videos and done the exercises together-he just said “I’m in love with this guy!” 😊😊😊. Thank you, looking forward to seeing more.
haha, thank you. hope i didnt make you jealous :)
😂🤣😂
Just love this technique. Absolutely nothing I've ever tried works better than the Feldenkrais method of body work.
Cannot say enough good things about this method💞💋
Hello Taro! this is so helpful. I don't know if you've already done this, but it would be so helpful to have you do a series of exercises ONLY for a complete rep, with a voice over ONLY where you give instructions, WITHOUT stopping. Thanks for this if you can. I have watched 4 of your exercises today and even with an hour massage, tension relieving exercises for 3 weeks, this is the best I have felt. Bless you. Appreciate you so much.
This does work very well. Thank you for sharing the info, Taro.
you are welcome! After you do this exercise, you pay attention to your arm and shoulder blade, and how they move in walking, reaching for a cup, driving, desk work, etc. Then you can start to integrate new awareness and movement into your daily activities. This is when reach change starts to happen!
Thank you for your videos and passion. WOW! Feldenkrais definitely works and FAST!
I can't believe the UA-cam algorithm showed me this video. I have the EXACT problem for a few weeks now, the muscle near my right shoulder blade. I walk a lot during the day, and that thing hurts after some time and then it hurts even more during the day. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!
Excellent... thank you!!!
Love it! You & your channel is a very rare gem. Your integrity/honesty is exemplary to the max. Kudos to Taro! 👌🙏👏❤️
Your channels section is absolutely genius & super extensive. I’ve only seen 2 short vids from Nutritious Movement & learned a lot from both. Thanks a million! 👌👍🙏
This was really surprising. I feel so light on my shoulders. I have a big problem with my trapezius muscles. Constant work at computer and home chores. This is something I'm surely going to do every day atleast once. Thanks sooo much.
A gentle shift. Thank You so much.
This is so helpful! As a nursing student/working at the hospital, I'm so guilty of that locked-in scapula position and it causes daily headaches. Thank you so very much. You are a blessing. 💕
Great exercise! I will incorporate it to my routine. Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I found out that my neck-to-shoulder is the real issue and the scapula was just trying to compensate for it/ they were working together more than I realized. I kept having to really calm my "neck" down during this, as it wanted to tense up. I see you have a neck video, too, so I'll be doing that. The Feldenkrais Method of slow movements of resetting the nervous system to unlock stored tension in the body is paralleled to the work by Levine in his amazing book "In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness." Admittedly, I read portions of the book first and didn't realize Feldenkrais has a way of actually doing what was written. This is wonderful!
I just wanted to add that all of these simple movements i have seen in a few of your videos now have worked wonders for me. I have had a bunch of knots and misalignments from heavy manual labour, martial arts, driving, deskwork and carrying a toddler everywhere. Pretty much everything that felt broken in my body have had a permanent solve thanks to your videos. I had managed with stretching and training etc before but never really felt ok. Sure, i do these now and again, but it awakened more posture awareness during many activities and I just feel better over all. So, you know, thank you. Good shit. I didn't search for these, but here i am and better for it. ❤️
Glad you somehow found my videos by accident and benefitted from them!
Amazing, this worked for me. Thank you!
This did help a lot. I have worked as a dental hygienist for over 40 years. Had so many massages for this problem. I’m am excited to us this technique frequently to maintain.
That was great!! Thank you!
This worked! Wow, loving all your videos. They are simple yet super effective.
thank you! simple and practical are my main focus.
Thank you so much. I always have so much pain in that area. It definitely released some tension.
VERY HELPFUL,THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
This work is amazing thank you so much … my shoulder blades are releasing and I have taken on board the advice about letting them flow and move as I walk .. this has been a challenge for so long and now I am delighted to find this gorgeous solution
Terrific exercise.
I Just found you today ,and I have to say I love the way you speak is very gentle and soothing. The exercise is very effective for releasing tension, thanks a lot for it. Blessings from Spain 🙏🏽💗
Thank you thank you! My wife and I visited Spain about 10 years ago and we absolutely loved it!!
Your exercises are changing my life Taro. I was a little bit adraid to do this one in case it didn't help. The movements are so simple that it seems impossible they could be so effective. But what the body actually responds to, vs what we think it will respond to, are apparently very different things!
WoW ! SOoo much better ! BlessYouThankYou
Wow! Thanks for this, I swear my right arm grew in 60 seconds 😊 I hold so much tension by my right shoulder blade and have done for years. It feels better already and I can tell I'll see a major improvement by doing this regularly.
Thank you so much Taro, this actually really worked...! I had been having this tension between my shoulder blades for a while and I tried stretching and many things (massage gun) and they didn't work, and I just tried this and I felt the release ... it's amazing, thank you for sharing this!
You are welcome! This is the power of the nervous system!
I felt immediate results on both sides. Wow, amazing stuff this Feldenkrais. Thanks, Taro.
my pleasure!
you really are amazing!! This and the neck/shoulder release in 30 seconds were godsend.
I have been resorting to anti inflammatory painkillers or a ball/massage for release.
Thank you so much. This really helped a lot!
Thank you!
This technique helps to release the pain. Thank you so much Doc
Thank you man you are a genius
This is amazing !
Thank you so much, absolutely amazing!
