Thanks I was looking for something to help me with my neck issues that im having and this pain that doesnt leave me alone I cant believe how much this exercise help me right now I totally love you. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this video Tess as its a good gentle lead in for someone like myself who is stiff as a board in the neck but find that these gentle exercises are starting to loosen me up - long way to go yet though! Thanks once again Tess.
Sorry to hear that your neck pain is increasing. In general it is best to avoid the movements that are causing increased pain until you can see your Physio or Doctor. Is there a particular direction of movement you are getting pain with?
I'm feeling always dizzy for this cervical problem, can u please suggest me which of these exercises are not good for me? And which exercises i will do for everyday.. please reply..🙏🏻
Hi Ishani, are you feeling dizzy when completing neck exercises? If so it is recommended to see your Physio or Doctor prior to continuing to identify the cause of the symptoms and to rule out any serious pathology.
Hi Tess, I was diagnosed with mild cervical spondylosis with mild disc protrusions last year. I always experience neck pain and stiffness that my blood pressure always comes up and I most of the time I end up on ER because of my high BP. Is it normal that spondylosis causes high blood pressure? And if the pain comes by, what could be the best thing to do? Is there a specific exercise that may help quickly? I am 53 yo, hoping for an advice. Thanks.
Hi, thank you for watching. I am sorry to hear about your neck pain and blood pressure. Is your blood pressure a result of the pain or is there another reason your blood pressure is increasing?
Thank you for sharing this. I was diagnosed with cervical spondylosis at 33 age. I love running but i read some news that running is not good for cervical spondylosis. How about jogging? Please answer 🙏
Hi Nena. Thank you for watching. Management of spondylosis will typically be based on your pain and symptoms. Whether you are able to jog or run may depend on how these activities impact your pain and function. For instance, a person may be able to jog or run with minimal or no pain.
Hi Gwyn. Thank you for watching. I'm sorry if the video has caused any confusion. I appreciate there may be different information about. Can I help to clarify anything for you?
According to mri report i hav cervical spondylitis c6 c7 n lumbar spine l4 l5 n l5 si ole suggest me what type of excercise i jav to prav that will help reduce my problems
according to the xray report I have degenerative disc disease on C4 & C5 levels. I also feel dizzy every morning, After following this exercise for 5 days I feel the improvement. my dizziness is almost gone. and I feel some pain in the C4 & C5 region i think its a good sign this is because I moved them in this exercise.
I have tingling sensation in my hands, fingers and now it's moved to my feet. Will these excercise help me.? Coz the neck and back pain along with this tingling is a pain and effecting my daily habits.
Sorry to hear this Chetana. Is your diagnosis cervical spondylosis? If so, typically you would want to complete the movements that ease the symptom. that may mean moving in one direction and not the other. Have you been able to see a Physiotherapist?
@@AgeFitwithTess Hi tess, I have a lot of stiffness and soreness around my neck, shoulder blade and sometimes it came up to my head. Please toss which exercise is more suitable for me. Also the doctor said it could be fibromyalgia too even the blood test were negative I appreciate your help advice
Hi Dr, I'm diagnosed with cervical spondylosis last month and I'm following your exercises. Now I'm feeling much better and shall I go for jogging? My pain gets triggered when my head sweats, so I stopped all workouts 3 months back.. please guide me with the precautions to be taken before and after jogging.
Hi Seoh, yes range of motion and strength exercises can also be helpful for spinal stenosis to ease pain and symptoms. When doing exercises for spondylosis and/or stenosis a useful guide is to work within the ranges of motion that do not increase pain or symptoms.
Hi Tess, thank you for sharing video of these exercises. I will do these. Apart from neck pain, i feel like very less pushing force in my right hand and arm. Pulling force is okay. 2ndly, i feel my right hand thumb shaking sometimes and feel arm pain between elbow and wrist. Please guide me. I m much worried. God bless you.
Thank you Tess for the video, also the Cervical Spondylosis Exercises // Progressions - I am find the exercises helpful. I have been diagnosed with 'mild to moderate degenerative change C6-C7 with anterior osteophyte formation and disc space narrowing' which causes pain/ache and clicking on lower left of neck and shoulder. I am 65 years. I have particular pain on left side of neck when releasing from Isometric Lateral Flexion exercise - all other exercises do not trigger the pain. Just wondering if this points to a particular issue..?
Thank you for watching Steven. Sorry to hear about your neck pain. Pain when releasing from isometric lateral flexion may indicate some muscular involvement or may also be related to your diagnosis around the c6-c7 joints. I am glad to hear the other exercises are not triggering pain for you.
Hi Misa, good question. Typically these exercises are to assist with pain relief and promote range of motion over time. I hope that answers your question.
Good question Jean Pierre. General recommendations for range of motion exercises often include 2-3 sets of 10-20 reps and for isometric strength 3 sets of 8-12 reps with 3 second hold.
@@AgeFitwithTess I was put on an infrared lamp.Then they massaged me from the back to the neck.Then they used my neck swing exercise to get around and they brought it in front and back and it ended up pulling it up and it ended where this would be done in a week or two.

Thank you for watching. The aim of exercise is typically to manage pain and/or build strength in supporting muscles, rather than reverse the degenerative changes that occur with spondylosis.
Mam I have a qustn ...for how many days in a week or how much time should I do this exercises..? And can I do high intensity workout along with the mentioned exercises..bcz I want to loose weight but I have triggered with cervical spondylitis...? Plz reply mam...
Hi Hema. Thank you for watching. To assist with pain management these exercises can be done daily. Other exercise can also be done in conjunction, building up exercise such as pain allows. I.e. the aim is typically minimal pain or aggravation of symptoms during and following exercises.
Sir I feel like that my focus is always on my right hand. Normally we don't think about position or movement of hand but after cervical spondylitis problem I am facing this problem please help me is this focus is of bcz cervical spondylitis or not Please help me 🙏🙏🙏
What's wrong with me???...I did the isometric exercises and had horrible pain in my neck and arms that night and the next two days :(( it appears any type of resistance exercise causes unbearable pain in the area I work. that's definitely not normal.
@@AgeFitwithTess Thank you for your response. Actually the doctor has diagnosed acute cervical spondylosis after x ray but there is no neck pain. However the patient in my home is feeling dizzy and mild vomiting sensation.
@@AgeFitwithTess yes yes. The doc did an x-ray and found out that the dizziness is due to acute cervical spondylosis. So he gave homeopathic medicine. The patient is doing fine now but we are still not able to figure out that how is there no neck pain..
@@AgeFitwithTess not my doctor but a specialist. i kept wondering why my arm pain got worse the day after doing just a few with resistance bands. this is in my case i guess. something going on with my muscles
Interesting. Sorry to hear that the shrugs were aggravating your pain. Glad you were able too see the specialist. Have you found any exercises that help?
@@AgeFitwithTess its a systemic issue. any type of exercise in any muscle group causes severe pain and loss of function. something going on now with my whole spine! makes no sense as i wasn’t having any serious issues prior to all of this starting last august-sept. just started suddenly one day and kept progressing. started as joint pain on the outside of my joints...elbows, shoulders, wrists, knees etc then within a cpl weeks pain was also internal burning sensations then by third month started having neck, head and severe arm pain and weakness and then a few finger joints swelling. then suddenly started losing weight. whatever this is moving fast and just seems to be breaking down my body in every area 😞😞😞
Good question Alex. Typically a few times per week to daily for range of motion and pain relief exercises. Keeping note of any change or improvement is also a useful indicator for deciding how often to complete the exercises. e.g. pain relief with daily vs second daily.

Thank you S Jones. I'm glad these exercises are starting to help with you neck. Great work! Keep at it.
Why my neck pain increases after doing such exercises , I don't do this daily but 3-4 times I have tried it and my neck pain increases.
Sorry to hear that your neck pain is increasing. In general it is best to avoid the movements that are causing increased pain until you can see your Physio or Doctor. Is there a particular direction of movement you are getting pain with?
I've been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis. The exercises are super painful to do on one side of my neck. Should I persevere?
