  • 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)

      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.

    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

      @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.
