Her eyes are staring into my soul

[@TonyTube407]

The dots are a great tool to help you do the stretch correctly!!!!! Thanks.

[@finanzferdinand9874]

Love the girl. Is she real or AI?

[@chrisr.6638]

AI

[@Daveaaaaa]

You are a star! Nice visual prompt on keeping the two sticker points as far from each other as poss - makes stretch easier to do effectively.

[@AlexArsu]

[@GabiClaudiu1102]

Just a thing... The origin mastoid protuberance and the insertions(2) :inferior face of collar bone(1) and the top of the breastbone (2)

[@ndm9219]

Glad we could help!

[@timmaastricht]

This fixed my headaches after a few days

[@LOU17002]

Thank you this really helps

[@medicmandan2554]

Thanks for the vid, very clear and practical. SFX at the beginning was a little unusual though

[@lonsdalewellnessstudio9197]

Thanks Dan! We'll be sure to review our sound effects for future vids ;)

[@dartme18]

Yeah, that was weird. I skipped it at first, but went back to hear it. Is that supposed to be fire? I think a ROARING fire sound will be less mistakable. Great work on the video!

[@michaeldecker8853]

Sounded like mac and cheese he musta been beating it up quick b4 video started that’s why she had neck pain

[@SHPUDY]

well done young man

[@otischang3960]

[@jonibartelt1756]

It is not rarely painful, it is frequently painful.

[@leealpha2177]

[@lonsdalewellnessstudio9197]

Lee Taylor thanks for the feedback!

[@dinky..]

Really helpful. Thank you!

[@loljk1991]

Wow she is a Terminator robot . A pretty one. ❤

[@dmzabo3914]

Thanks bro! But how long do we hold that stretch?

[@auns9211]

Thanks for making me understand the complex exercise in a simple way with the help of a cute robotic life-like girl. :)

[@panspermia311]

What does it mean if I hear a Velcrocrackly sound when I do this stretch?

[@davidhouchin2353]

adhesions possibly if conractured/shortened?

[@VickyR]

Nice video. Keep it up.
That girl is like a electic Doll 😊

[@user-il2yz4gf9b]

is this lady ok

[@varonicayadav1351]

Why ear pains.....is it risky? Or it will naturally go along with sternocleidomastoid pain?

[@ToffiTube]

Thank you omg

[@weegee_]

Hey there. Thanks for the video, it's certainly interesting.
I'm on a quest to try and disprove my diagnosis of Cervical Dystonia through a program of stretching and mobility. This excercise feels really good for the side that's weaker in my neck. However when I look up and really put the stretch on, I could hear lots of cracking and clicking/crunching in my neck. I wondered whether or not it would be safe for me to continue, and if the noises I could hear when I put the stretch on could cause any damage, or if it's most likely the release of the joints. My neck does crunch and crack a lot as it is, even just looking to the right.
Thank you!

[@lonsdalewellnessstudio9197]

We call those noises “crepitus” and they shouldn’t be dangerous or harmful. They are however a sign that something isn’t moving the way it should. Try this next exercise and see if it reduces your crepitus.

[@c.hartmann8790]

Where did I know which is the short one? My head rotates to the right shoulder. This one is thick and the left on is small and bad to get with the fingers.

[@vishaljadhav5]

After How many days one can do these Stretch after removal of SCM

[@irshadahmedkhan90]

Time to heal with this

[@omr4ni]

Music volume is so up and loud. Don't put the music on

[@Poetry4Peace]

Lool cool sternocleidomastoidoius word ahahah

[@CarpeDiem601]

Do you suggest heat or ice after sessions of stretching the SCM?

[@kathiefleming2830]

Can u exercise this muscle?

[@Sri_369]

Wonderful

[@rachell4417]

I get some awful headaches from these muscles.

[@ashleygalluch1990]

I used imaginary dots and it worked

[@lonsdalewellnessstudio9197]

Thats great. We are always happy to hear about people getting better!

[@aloisius4188]

I was referred to a REAL physical therapist, not a chiropractor. He used no dots, and it's working. But you must do the stretching exercises as prescribed.

[@lonsdalewellnessstudio9197]

Aloisius Therapists don’t use dots because they already know the anatomy! We just use those for teaching. It may surprise you that we learn that in chiropractic school😯 I’m glad you’re getting better, and I hope this exercise helped you as much as the ones from a “real” therapist!

[@mulatto401]

The NPC was great

[@snehapillai8306]

Can this strech help me to pop up my SCM?

[@robaerto71]

Wrong exercise! The SCM makes an extension in the atlantooccipital joint, so in order to stretch you had to do a FLEXION!

[@SenthilKumar-rn8te]

Please give me the right exercise video it will be helpful for me

[@timmark4190]

How many times does one need to do this in a day?

[@aloisius4188]

If you are truly looking for relief you need to view additional videos on the subject, not just this guy in the video. Most recommend that you do this 3x a day. Yeah the music is annoying, the girl is cute.

[@lonsdalewellnessstudio9197]

Aloisius is right, I highly encourage you to view more content on the subject, or see a skilled therapist to help guide you. I typically recommend this exercise to be done once per day for a few minutes, but combined with other stretches to be done more frequently.

[@rehman1899]

Very annoying background music. I want to hear what man is saying but music made me stop and look at another video on SCM.

[@bogregson3302]

Thanks for the input Ismail! We'll take this into account for our future videos! :)

[@chandniagravat3015]

If pain is unilateral should stretch both side?

[@chandniagravat3015]

One side of scm is bit spasmed and otherside not active..because of that tmj n temporalis pain too

[@real_labhpreet_paul]

0:57

[@elizabethhogan3296]

This would be much better without the music. Too loud and distracting.

[@TrollsAndScrolls]

[@Dodgyboy43]

[@Birdical-cr5en]

And why does he look like dr Carlisle ...in addition to the obvious deer n headlights

[@jk3266]

[@coreymihailiuk5189]
