    Rachel RIchards self massage videos have helped me greatly, especially this one. I have muscle cramping throughout my body and the facility where I was getting weekly Osteo Manipulative Therapy stopped my weekly sessions a few weeks after my PCP left. I was very fortunate to find Rachel's videos and my neck area has improved while using her techniques over the past 5 weeks. I will leave more comments on other videos that have helped me. Thank you so much !!!

    I have scoliosis and painted a bookshelf last night and woke up with extreme neck and shoulder pain. Can't afford a massage right now so I found your videos for this and shoulder pain out of desperation. I've never felt my shoulders & neck ease up so much. I thought I was built with a permanent brick wall around my neck and shoulders. I'm so relieved. I'm still a bit sore but this was soooo much help for me. Thank you SO much! 🙏Saving up for my next massage now. 💗

    • @rachelrichardsmassage9660
      @rachelrichardsmassage9660  7 років тому +1

    Thank you so much, Rachel! My myofascial shoulder and neck pain is back! In fact, my muscles of the shoulders, back, and stiff jaw go together! Why the jaw? My right jaw feels like a big knot and my jaw resists wanting to open! I have facial nerve pain with it too! I notice that after I eat my jaws relax for a while. My posture is bad and I find my shoulders up to my ears a lot and i consciously release that stress! It's a bad habit from anxiety. Thanks for these tips! I will be doing them! My shoulders, head and face are really suffering!

It’s hard for me to do the techniques in this video due to some other health issues, but I do them as best as I can and sometimes go through the routine a couple of times to get relief. Many thanks for your work helping us to help ourselves.

    I have constant neck tightness which occasionally makes me dizzy. Especially right under my skull. Such a sensitive area for me. I find these difficult to do on myself because I tense up but it’s very helpful. Self massage is now part of my weekly routine but love it.

      I'm so happy to hear that! I know it's difficult to keep your shoulders and arms relaxed. Deep breathing can help, and also taking breaks to shake out your arms and roll your shoulders.

    Helped me immediately. Sadly, I can't go to regular massage therapy at this point in time, but this still made me feel a million times better after a long week of working on the computer. Thank you!
