- OCCIPITAL NEURALGIA EXERCISES | STRETCHES FOR OCCIPITAL NEURALGIA || Stephen Dunn, Holistic Physical Therapist, Pilates & Gyrotonic Instructor, Author, Online Course Creator, Business Coach, Podcast Host & co-owner of CORE Therapy and Pilates teaches an essential unknown stretch and one exercise to improve occipital neuralgia.
Is Occipital neuralgia bothering the base of your skull and behind your eyes? Watch this video to learn more! Why is occipital neuralgia causing so much pain in my life? By the end of this you will know the essential stretch no one is talking about and the best exercise to help improve your occipital neuralgia symptoms.… I’ve helped hundreds of patients with this condition over the past two decades and can’t wait to teach you. Why is occipital neuralgia causing so much pain in my life? The nerve between the skull and the first cervical vertebra is compressed. This is caused by forward head posture putting pressure on the occipital nerve causing occipital neuralgia. The muscles in front that we want to stretch are the platysma and scalene. Place your hand under the collar bone and look up and over the opposite shoulder and hold for 4-5 deep breaths. Next, we will do the chin tuck exercise by pulling your head back and up to relieve the pressure on the occipital nerve.

Do you have neck pain and headaches due to Occipital Neuralgia? Try these occipital neuralgia exercises and stretches
Thank you so much for that first stretch! I always tell them it's the front of my neck that hurts and feels tight like it's pulling my jaw muscles and yet they always "treat" the back of the neck.... (I'm in round two of physical therapy for my neck)
@@blake5318 you are very welcome... thanks for watching!
Yes, I do. But I also have a leftward compressed nerve from stenosis at C4/C5, so it makes part of this hard to do (the first stretch, to the right side). To top it all off I have a torn labrum & biceps tendenitis in my right shoulder, so some of my PT exercises for my stenosis agitate that and vice versa...
I have also had a TLIF (L5/S1) - but this, while painful, is no longer consequential.
I've applied for an entirely new musculoskeletal system; interestingly, insurance has not agreed to this! :-D
Are you in Austin? I graduated from college there yeeeears ago, when it was much smaller and less California-fied (coincidentally where I live now).
If you have other exercises for suggestion, I'm all eyes.
Is there any particular pillow for occipital neuralagia ?? Nd thnk u so muchhh
Great simple stretch, easy ro do a few times a day, great relief. I use computers for hours.
Wow! I went to the chiropractor 2 days in a row and was still experiencing excruciating pain. My daughter sent me this video and I felt relief instantly. Thank you!
17 years of Occipital neuralgia caused by a stroke. Daily constant pain. Rehab doctors, physical therapists, pain doctors, nerve blocks. nothing. Doing your stretches 3 times daily and I have slept through the night pain free 9 of 10 days so far and i go hours without even thinking abut my pain. Thank you. I have other stretches I do, but the first stretch in this video is magic
How r u now
It's 4am I'm in complete agony and then found this gem,Instant relief. honestly thank you! 🙏🏽
I love reading this!
@Gretchen Harbourt I get this a few times a year too, waking up with this pain. I had it last night from about 10:30pm until around 1am. And then it came back the next day, I know its from posture and truly from furniture that doesn’t support my back in sitting up straighter (old arm chair and sofa that isn’t firm, and looking at iPad🙃😕. And in past was from bad pillows, ugh.
ditto LOL
I find I get the most pain from this at night when laying down trying to sleep. It is horrifying. It is a horrifying pain.
@@siobhanrose1680 are you still suffering from this pain?
I’ve had occipital pain for quite a few years. Was eating dinner with a headache and then decided to UA-cam tension headaches and pain relief. Your video came up and I did your 2 stretches. Instant relief, especially with the collar bone strength. Thank you so very much!

Oh, this along with some nearby issues on my upper back and neck has been absolutely wrecking my life. Glad to finally have a name to the issue.
I can’t tell you happy I am to find your videos. It’s given me hope after a bad night. Thank you for your kind work
You are so welcome
very good and the exerise really helps
NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE MY APPRECIATION TO YOU. Been having this pain for years and had no idea what to do. I did stretches, Tylenol and all kinds of things. Found this video and tried the stretches and right away felt better. My pains severe so I’m going to continue doing these stretches everyday. Thank you again!
I love that neck stretch!
Thank you so much! I’ve been suffering from back head pain for almost 5 years. Now there is a relief
Thank you so much! I thought I have a serious illness until I found this video and it worked like magic !
Wow! This explanation about the connection to neck and areas below -- especially to the front of the body-- really xeroed in on my particular areas of pain. No one else has suggested those stretches. Bingo! And one enormous thank you ! I've been at this for 2 years -- 7 docs and 3 phys therapists. All just brushed me off, didn't take me seriously. Thank you beyond words!
Lifesaver. God bless you 🙏
This makes my day!
Great video Stephen.
Glad you enjoyed it
I like the scalene & platysma stretch because I’ve never done that one before. Great video CORE!
Thanks for your comment and feedback... See you soon! Hope you had a great easter!
Awesome stuff, I just shared it to my physical therapy page.

Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Been in massive pain all day and 2 minutes of this got instant relief! thank you!!
Glad it helped!
It helps me ❤
This felt good!
These absolutely 💯 help. I do them morning and night. The other thing is really notice how much you look down all day especially at your phone. I have learned to bring my phone or reading material up to eye level verses looking down at them and this has also been super helpful.
Thanks, got instant relief
Glad it helped!
ThankyOu sOoo much 😊🙏Godbless
So happy this helped!
Definitely helped. You're a blessing! Thank you 💙 🧡 💜
It started after looking down sewing all day.

Wow , sir you are a miracle worker , thanks so much . Instant relief wow .
Yes these stretches did help thank u
Glad it helped!
I found your video after a week of neck and head pain. I had already been trying all the possible neck stretches, with very little to no results. Your video was the first and only one that showed the stretch at the front of the neck. I got a substantial decrease in the level of pain, both at the neck and head - and also at the TMJ level. Thank you so much!
Very helpful. Have lots questions.
MARAMING SALAMAT PO! I'M FROM PHILIPPINES 💖

My pleasure!
deeply grateful for helping me relese the pain in a few minutes
So happy to read your comment
That neck stretch was really helpful. Thanks much!
You are welcome
That first exercise really exacerbates my symptoms, meaning that is where my issue is. Thank you 🙏
Glad to help you get some clarity...
Worked like magic.. didn’t realised how tense the anterior neck muscles were.. thank you so much
Thank you so, so much! I have been in pain for a week and this made a world of difference! I would not have even thought that the issue was at the front of the neck.
You're so welcome!
Thank you ❤️
Any time!
Thank you very much, sir! These simple exercises came to me as a blessing! Very-very much appreciated! :)
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
This actually helped a problem that I thought I would need to go to a doc for. Thank you very much!
