I'm glad that in the era of people selling things that doesn't work there are still competent people who are willing to share their knowledge for free. Thank you! Wishing you all the best!
These are indeed the best exercises on TH-cam!! Working on my neck hernia for 14 years, had every treatment available and this is a combination of what works best for me. Thank you for this top video.
Hi Dr Jon.I have a neck hump .I am 70 years old.Is it too late for me?? I hope not.Thank you for the well explained videos.Merry Christmas from Belleville Ontario,🥰
Thanks so much for this video! There are so many options that I have no excuse not to put one or more of them into practice right away! Small question though: For the final one (the sleeping position), I tried it once and it worked like magic-I stood upright without any effort the whole day afterwards (and I hadn't woken up at all during the night). When I tried it again another time, I woke up in the middle of the night. My question is, Is this what you were referring to when you said (at 14:01) "Now we know we don't stay like this all night. That's okay. When you wake up, just self-correct the position, put the pillows back in the right position, and try to fall asleep?" In other words, I'm not clear if you were suggesting that we would most likely wake up in the middle of the night because the posture is unsustainable and we feel this unconsciously and thus wake up to reposition. Is that what you meant? If so, that explains why I woke up. But I can't help thinking that that's a downside of the practice. No one wants to wake up in the middle of the night, especially if there's a risk (for some) of not being able to go back to sleep. Anyway, I just wanted to ask if you were suggesting that it's expected that we'd wake up, readjust, and have to go back to sleep. And also, relatedly, do you recommend NOT, in fact, staying in that position all night (because I've gotten the impression, after watching other videos on this sort of thing, that any of these exercises shouldn't be over-done). Sorry for the long comment. I tend to write a lot.
Last exercise seems to have potential. I tried placing pillow like you've shown and I did not last more than 15 minutes. My back hurt like hell and I was not able to fell asleep. Tried this 3 times already with no progress. I will probably start without a pillow at all (however that gives me vertigo which is another disadvantage of flat sleeping). Does it really matter how long is pillow? Is half length of back enough or does it have to go all the way until sacrum bone?
Hi Dr Jon. I’ve been watching a few of your videos and I have a few questions if I may? I have had my neck hump for a as long as I can remember, (I am now 24 years old) I have sought chiropractic help for this and they have confirmed through x rays there is a definite curvature to my spine but also a lot of inflammation in my neck which makes the hump look larger. I’m really insecure about my neck hump it’s larger than anyone’s I have seen. My biggest question for you is are they reversible? I get so much pain in my neck from it. I have also tried sleeping with chiropractic pillows and sleeping flat on my back but I’ve always slept on my tummy and as hard as I try I move in my sleep and wake back up on my tummy. I do a lot of stretches and exercises already, which I will increase but I’m worried that my job (desk job) doesn’t help this. I feel like I’ve tried everything spending hundreds of pounds on all sorts of posture correctors and back braces but I’m still in pain and suffer from embarrassment from this. What would you recommend I do next?
If you have x-rays, your DC should be able to give you very specific recommendations to help fix it - traction, exercise, and adjustments should help...if you have pain, you need to lower your inflammation levels...this may help with that: th-cam.com/video/7GwjN3ZusqA/w-d-xo.html
Doc, can neck problem cause ear or hearing problem ? Bcause i have hearing problem but sometimes everytime i stretch my neck to all direction, i can temporary hear better
Hi Dr. Jon. For months my ribs have been sore. I have found when I get down on the ground and poo my back the pain subsides. Also, if I press on my rib near the sternum (maybe the 7th rib. Not sure but it’s between the breasts) If I put light to moderate pressure on that section my upper back pops and again locked up pain feeling subsides. Would chiropractic help or should I only strengthen?
No, don't push into the pain with a chin tuck...try to reduce the range of motion to see if it can be done without causing pain...if it persists, please see your health care provider...all the best!

Yes, what I meant was if you wake up in another position because you move inadvertently, just put yourself back into the correct position.

No you can certainly experiment with different sized pillows - all the best.

I don’t see it in the video so asking here. Can you please share how many reps for the Modified cow stretch and how many times per day?
3 sets of 8-10 reps...thanks for watching!
is chest press also good to get rid of neck hump?
Like all weight training exercises, presses can be good for posture correction IF one uses good posture doing the exercises.
I wondered if you maybe had some tips to a sway back? Been dealing with it alot lately...
Will add it to my list of future videos...all the best!
Doc, can neck problem cause ear or hearing problem ? Bcause i have hearing problem but sometimes everytime i stretch my neck to all direction, i can temporary hear better

Any chance you sell drawings of this set? Also, any modifications if you have neck hump plus scoliosis?
No unfortunately...all the best!
Hi Dr. Jon.

Also, if I press on my rib near the sternum (maybe the 7th rib. Not sure but it’s between the breasts) If I put light to moderate pressure on that section my upper back pops and again locked up pain feeling subsides.
Would chiropractic help or should I only strengthen?
Yes, seems mechanical, I'd have your chiro take a look for you.
If the chin tuck causes an increase in pain, should I push through the pain?
No, don't push into the pain with a chin tuck...try to reduce the range of motion to see if it can be done without causing pain...if it persists, please see your health care provider...all the best!
How many reps and times a week do you suggest?
Minimum 5 days per week...pick 1-2 exercises, 1-2 stretches, 1 traction...and do the number suggested in the video...best wishes.
I wonder if I exercise 6 times a week how long it will take to see results.
You should see some changes starting in 4-6 weeks...all the best!
