- Working long hours looking down and forward causes forward head carriage that will lead to neck pain, pinched nerves, headaches, TMJ, arthritis, and disc problems. Stretching the proprioception organelles in the ligaments with this technique will help correct forward head posture as communication to the brain is achieved through proprioception.

I am 71 y.o. I have a pretty severe case of forward-head-posture. I thought it would be prohibitively painful for me to do this exercise. But, to my surprise, I was able to achieve the full extension by progressing with about 10 baby steps and resting a few seconds after each step by manually lifting my head. I plan to do this every day. Thank you Dr. Mandell.
I hung my head over the bed before getting out of bed this morning for about 15 mins. Felt amazing! Kept my head up and back during the morning. Definitely felt a difference. You are my posture guru. Thank you!
Dr Mandel you are wonderful thanks
i hang mine to ceiling for 1 hour. feeling better and better every day
I’m curious if this is recommending on beds, as they can have enough give to encourage the shoulders being in a probated position instead of being back and open.
Does that make a difference in the necks ability to stretch correctly if you already have forward head posture? I would imagine so. Perhaps a bench or stiff bed, or even a pillow below your back to give you extra elevation?
Why don't ur head hurtss 😭😭😭😭😭😭. I cant do it even for 10 secs im feeling much dizziness and head pain. And how u peoples will do that i dono

Respected Dr.Mandell, Greetings from India. I am Dr.Sheela, an Associate Professor in a Pharmaceutical Sciences institute.
Sir, you are doing an awesome job to all humanity by sharing your experienced scientific knowledge and solutions helpful to aging people. It is my duty to introduce your channel to all my near and dear for their own benefit. Personally my family is getting benefitted sir. To me the word that you stress in each of your video "make it a great day" truly encourages me. I thank and pray Almighty to grant you all strength to keep on going. Thank you Sir.
this is what i found by myself after many years having severe pains. this really helps,guys. stay healthy. and thanks to this Dr.
Having problems with my neck for 4 years, not even knowing the exact term for my condition, I found my body trying this trick a year ago and here I am now watching the professional advice. I am blessed with my body intuition. I have been wondering if it is safe to do. No doubts now.
Thanks Dr Mandell from Ukraine!
I suffer from stenosis and it was as a result of my bad posture plus arthritis. Been doing this and others exercise by the doctor and my neck pain has diminished. Thank you and keep them coming!
i've been do this 20min/day for a month and i feel way better
Great news😊
Moroccan Pro Gamer wow 20 min
Moroccan Pro Gamer I will also try tomorrow morning
It makes me dizzy cuz of the blood on my head. Thoughts?
@@motivationaldoc sir I am your fan...
As I did the second portion of the exercise, I could feel the bottom of my spine pop, which felt fabulous!
The Doctor told me that I'm over 60, with bone spurs on your vertebrae, learn to live with the pain, he gave me a list of exercises that Dr. Mandell said not to do. I have just started following his corrective exercise for my neck and it is starting to feel better.
As strange as this may sound, I did this exercise only ones for about three minutes though and I got up it already feels a dramatic difference! Wow! thank you... Computer work is killing my neck......This exercise really makes a difference...❤️
This technique is too good, I was having severe pain in my neck. I did this for 1 minute and I forgot about the pain. Thank you sir. You are best.
Bhaiyaa. Abhi apaka neck kaisa h? Posture improve hua es exercise se?
@@NiteshSingh-ip6qfmai help kr Pau apka sayad muje message kre kuch exercise btauga
It's not only about the information, it's the way you communicate it. THANKS
I just started your stretching recommendations today. Already I have great relief! Thank you so much! This will now be my morning routine!
Thanks Doc this exercise is exactly what I was looking for. I drive a forklift all day and after so many years of driving my posture has become slouched. I'm really hoping this corrects it.
spent 160$ today to get adjusted when i could of just done this video. Thank you for the instant relief and sharing wisdom this saved me !!
I have many inflamed nerves in my neck and my arm is killing me as a result I just stumbled on your videos, I thank you so much for posting because now I know my problem is my posture and after watching these videos I'm definitely going to do these exercises . I actually can't wait.
how are you now?
Hi Dr. Mandell, With the help of God and you, my hump below the back of my neck has improved so much. I was trying on clothes in a store and the mirror showed the back as I was changing and I noticed that my back looked flat. I couldn't even see my shoulder blades or that little valley in my back. I did the exercise above for about 10 min. twice a day and also the exercises for Atlas, Traps and Romboids, double chin and neck elongation and I found a site that featured a nice sitting rowing exercise. It has only been about maybe going on 3 weeks; and I am seeing the valley in the middle of my spine, and my shoulders blades are beginning to peak thru. I did a lot of your exercises because I figure if your upper back is flat; as far as probs.go, that I pretty much had it all. I ordered some posture correctional bras that I pretty much wear unless I am sleeping or in the shower. I thought my hump was only cosmetic but now I realize, I feel better in sooo many ways. Thank you so much, God bless you Barb.
I lie on the floor with a thick book under my shoulder blades with head resting back but still supported on the floor. Then I take a nap or watch TV for 30 minutes. Usually just breathing pops vertebra back in place. To loosen shoulders I use a softball, keeping it in place until the pain subsides and then move it someplace else that's sore. Really clears the head and lowers the shoulders.
Good advice!
Is your TV on the ceiling?
If only. But I find a simple turning my head to one side or the other to see it is not too difficult.
If turning your head to one side to watch TV is difficult, maybe you shouldn't do this kind of thing at all. Be kind to your spine. But I watch TV fine on my back. It passes the time until the vertebra pop back into place ... which usually happens within a couple minutes, so TV after that is optional :D
Think about the muscle groups you want to target so you don't over extend your neck and still not get the benefit you're looking for. Muscles that pull your chin jaw and ears forward attach to your collar bone in front. They get short from things we do daily like reading, looking down or lifting to level with our chest and neck. Lay with the books under your shoulders, with head resting comfo
rtably on the floor. Tuck your chin down just a little and raise your head about a 1/2-1 inch off the floor. In just a few seconds you'll feel the muscles running from your ears and voice box to your collar bone are in tension. Stay there to gently stretch your front neck. When you no longer feel the muscles on your collar bone, stay there and slowly turn your head a few inches to right or left with the same mild chin tuck. That will stretch the muscles you didn't get with a central pull, and most of them are deep inside your neck around your throat. I got rid of my double chin that way, and put my head back over my spine where it belonged when I stand up.
It doesn't happen like that just once, but since there are straps of criss crossing muscles in the front neck, you have to gradually pull all them out so you can actually stand up straight from the base of the neck.
I do it for 10 minutes. The very first time I could not believe at how it cleared my mind and perked my mood up. All the nutrient rich blood goes directly to your brain with this stretch. I doubt it is good for your neck but if you could do this 10 times a day for 10 minutes per session I bet it would be great therapy for depression and other mental disorders because your brain would be getting all that extra oxygen and nutrients from the blood.
Not sure about the blood to the brain explanation, but it surely improves your airflow. The head position is basically the head tilt, chin lift from CPR. Expands upper airways and allows extra respiratiory muscles to relax for a minute, which are hyperactive in stress situations.
This Doctor fixes everything... wonder if he has dating advice. 😂
If he does I am listening !!
Probably he will start dating service soon ....for you
Make it a great lay!
The correct biomechanics are very important for when you do get a date.
😂😂
Thank you for your videos. They help me to stay conscious of my neck position when sitting in bed for a period of time. your videos along with my neck exercises I was given by an osteopath, have helped me TREMENDOUSLY. A couple of years of doing my neck exercises and now I feel so much better. I dont have constant headaches anymore 😃. And now your good ideas are going to help me even more 😃. Thank you.
Blessings Robert
You are such an amazing doctor. Great job. Thank you very much!
You're honest and want to help people so much with sound advice. I'm gonna try this exercise - everyone can spare a minute or two each day doing it. I wish someone had an idea to get rid of a pinched nerve in my hip which apparently causes tension in my toes - I do nerve flossing with my feet and forward bends with sitting or standing, but I'd like to heal this problem permanently. I've had it for nearly two years and it has gotten 75% better but never goes away completly.
I've done this many times without being taught by a doctor. It just helps the pain, and to lengthen the spine. I always feel taller afterwards.
Hi
I love to Hear. Is neck curve now restore.
This issue started for me when I started caregiving for sick parents and raising my children. I’m also taller than average so thank you doctor!
I have watched several of your videos and they all are so helpful..feeling good and strong already! Thank you!
Excellent!😊
I felt so much better the next day morning.Thank you so much..God bless you!!!
Very happy for you. God Bless!
I can breath so much better now and the needle pain on my back is gone. Thank you very much.

I feel much better after going through 20 or so of these, my journey has begun and I thank youuuu :) God bless you so much Sir, each video is priceless :)
thank you so much for your lecture I have forward head position all my life and really thought it is just the way I look I never knew I could do something with it I hope it will work for me. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Amazing! I have been doing this once in a while for 15 minutes and when I stand against a wall, I can actually touch the back of my head to the wall and my hips and my shoulders. Before that was impossible to get the head to touch. Thank you so much!
Why don't ur head hurtss 😭😭😭😭😭😭. I cant do it even for 10 secs im feeling much dizziness and head pain. And how u peoples will do that i dono
This worked like magic as told in video title ,now I don't look down to see the screen,my head don't feel tight when looking front and it became actually east to see front than to look down,I can breath better and my cold went away with just 2 minutes of this exercise, brilliant result.
Only one thing to note that don't do it if you feel dizziness immediately stop
Chandravijay Agrawal please tell me. can forward head posture cause sinus pressure??
Your posture is gorgeous. I really appreciate all wealth of knowledge you generously share. Thank you!
You are truly an amazing Doctor with so much dedication to others. Thank you and God bless!

BLESS YOU GOD'S Angel!!!☆☆☆☆☆♡♡♡
Yes I think I'll start doing this everyday now as I have obviously a problem with my neck alignment.
You had precisely described my situation witin the first 41 seconds of your video! 31 years of pain Sir!!! I'm starting right away! ( Skipping details of the whole journey and therapy here...!)To be honest i thought it was risky to put my head back like that! Imagine! Thank you so much!!!
I do this first thing coming home to stretch and relieve all the pressure in my neck and spine from work and driving! Make it your routine!
I have a cervical fusion acdf c5c6...done in October. I sleep flat with a small neck roll pillow. If I do this will it hurt my fusion?
Wow, Ive had this ptoblem, for at least 10 years. followed by a car accident that left me a herniated disc in my neck and buldging disc in my back so I've been reluctant for neck adjustments on a regular basis. in saying that I've been given exercises and this continues to be a problem...not one chiropractic has suggested this! it's totally logical and make perfect since to retrain the body.
Thank you for sharing this exercise and the time frame for results!
Good luck dear
Thank you for this great video I'm going to start doing this every day to correct my reverse curve!
It really helps... i got straigtened cervical spine ...tried ur exercises two weeks n now the pain is starting to go away
Hi
I love to Hear. Is neck curve now restored.?
I have been doing this for 6 minutes a day (2-3 min initially) and it feels really great. Like one of the troll answers below, I feel like I don't have an head almost :)
Thanks Dr Mandel. I will try to do it regularly, can I increase the number of minutes or should I just stay at 6 min for a month or so. God bless you sir. Appreciate it.
Seven years ago I began to have severe shoulder and neck pain. I even had to leave the Marine Corps after only 4 years in serve because they simply couldn't help me. On top off the iceberg I also got a hernia around that time. After a few years the pain was more less and I went to school again. Now two years ago I suddenly got heavy pain in my neck/face and it got swollen within a few hours. I went to docters, chiropracters, having about 10 nerve blocks, mri's ect and a lot of medication until two weeks ago when I began to do this excercise and other ones according your channel. I immiately felt a change. Every time I do these excercises I feel like the room between the vertebrae is opening en the nerves can 'breath' again. I belevieve that the militairy neck was always the problem. Sorry for the long storry but I had some terrible years in the back and I can not express how much I appreciate your video. Hopefully my recovery will have an end soon. Thank you, much love from Holland
Are you better
Floor sleeping helps everything from FHP and back pain. The only problem is learning to sleep on the floor. Learn from the Japanese people they all have crazy good posture.
Ryan Larivee I can't sleep on the floor. My whole body gets stiff. When I wake up I can't even move properly I feel so stiff and it pains terribly between my shoulder blades and neck.
That happen first few days. After that you will be ok
yes.. i agree with that
Tq doc. .
Sleeping on a firm surface such as the floor(Depending on what type of floor it is) as well as barefoot walking/running would be ideal in a perfect world where our bodies are stronger and more used to doing such things. However, often times when someone(especially someone with injuries or pre-existing bio mechanical issues) tries to do these things, it can make matters worse. I speak from first hand experience where sleeping on the floor caused me a longer journey to recovery. I would say the smarter route is to gradually phase in firmer materials in the way of what you're sleeping on before trying out sleeping on a a floor or mat as some of the Japanese do.
Regards.
Oh! Yes I’ve done this but not recently, like dr Mandell says, if you feel dizzy don’t do or strained by it don’t do, it’s also an excellent way to help ourselves❤️
This exercise feels really good. You'll know when you've got the right angle. I could feel it stretch8the muscles on my shoulders and collarbone. And it makes it easier to breathe. I noticed my arms liked to swing out infront of me, but after doing this they're more to my side where they should be.
You are such an amazing instructor. I really appreciate all you teach us and the detailed explanations. I have heard some of this before but never the reasoning and mechanics behind it. That makes a HUGE difference, and from now on I will be doing this on a regular basis. I will also be doing your neck video for strengthening the back of the neck to hold the head in place so it doesn't constantly fall forward. Mine falls forward when I sleep and constricts my airflow because they are so weak from years of abuse. I'm so happy to find your utube channel. Have a great day! :)
this guy cant even fake a foward head posture
Maybe because he doesn't have it
Best compliment. 😊 I envy him! But he’s right so far! Been doing his corrective exercises for a month, and I definitely feel better so far. I am beyond appreciative for videos like these with the state of our healthcare system these days.
Because he doesn’t have a hair???
@@kerbyb.6911 The state of healthcare is just fine these days.
@@skinnylegend9782 I think that's the point that the OP was making, but you took it literally. That's enough internet for you.
Thank you so much for this. It is pretty direct and easy to follow. I hope to do this everyday. Looking forward to more forward neck and rounded shoulders exercise from you in future. I hope to correct my atrocious posture.
Hi
I love to Hear. Is neck curve now restore.
Ya, it's not fun listening to natural healers at the same time listening to doctors. I got myself a SSA case before trying to find treatment and diagnose of my bugle disc and lower back disc out. Now I have Fibromyalgia. Nine years of trying to get the right treatments and diagnose. I am trying to heal myself with help of living with others after losing my home and job , because of my health. If the F doctors would have done tests, I would have to apply for benefits. I hope with self help videos , diet , and time I will heal.
kiraraandfamily
kiraraandfamily I hope you get back on track. Fibro in my opinion along with just about all illness, is due to stress and anxiety. It's easy and hard to overcome stress and anxiety. What I mean by this is, thinking negative thoughts for you anxious and stressed, so how do you overcome that? By doing the same thing that got you their to begin with! It's that easy, you replace your thoughts with positive ones. For example, when a situation arises, look at the possible positive outcomes instead of the negative ones. Because at the end of the day no one knows if our decisions will be a negative or a positive outcome. So just think to yourself the positives, and just talk to yourself saying things like this :I AM happy, I AM healthy, I AM fearless, I AM loving. Replace all negative thought with this positive reinforcement, and I promise you will feel much better, but a good diet is important as well. You may also want to go see a chiropractor if you haven't already. Watch Dr john Bergman on here, he has a wealth of knowledge. I hope you get better. I'm healing myself, stress and anxiety caused me to get IBS and tingling in my forehead, but with this model of thinking, things have greatly improved.
Jason Fowler Thank you. It's a slow process to not wig out on negative issue like finding a fourth doctor . He diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, but he would not refer me to other whom specialize in it. So next doctor so I can keep my social security case pending and my Medicaide . This pending case has me anxiety by keeping a journal. Medicaide don't pay for Chiropractic. I am not Lyrica that help a little.
I trust in God to handle things. Everything happen for a purpose .
Thank you for your feed back. Oh, I will take your advice on positive saying
kiraraandfamily Diet is everything!

Thanks so much!! I have severe neck pains and although this didn't take away all pain...it did relieve a lot of it. I'm going to start doing this every morning and night before bed.
i do this often. but I pull my neck, and It aligns. it releases so much tension. the first few times I was doing this, when I would go back to the starting position and just rest my head, I would feel my upper back, between thoraci and cervical, As If I put on vics Vaporub sensation. it felt awesome. I still do it, But That feeling is no more. my posture is better also. Thank God.
the only thing that eased my neck shoulder pain.
a prudent exercise
Yoga really helps. It helps everything:).
Please note that this table is, most likely very firm and covered in high density foam. It has a bull- nose sort of edge -- all ideal for this maneuver. Most of us do not have this at home.
Also: How you schooch up is important.Have your feet flat on surface as shown. Lift your rear by pressing your feet and use your elbows as well for this.If your neck then feels too crimped, gently tilt your head forward with fingertips behind ears or by clasping the hair on tio of head. MAKE SURE that your moves are made in VERY SMALL INCREMENTS. Frankly I find this exercise more than a little daunting for the the newbie at home. Something like a high-quality massage table would be ideal, and I'm not sure about doing it with no one around the first couple of times.
Wish I discovered you before I got diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia.
I have been neck problem for 3 years. I'm tired of life. I'll be try that exercise.
thanks , i will try it, hope i dont get hurt
You r genius.the way u teaches..n Ur intentions...it's awesome
sir please tell a set of exercises for cervical correction in a single video....u have made a lot of videos..
i m confused which should i follow
I had chiari decompression in 2009 and I now suffer from neck,shoulder and back pain. I get trigger point injections every 2 weeks and I take muscle relaxers every night but I’m not getting any better. I practice yoga and I am now following your videos. I hope these new technics help my pain. Thank you
What have you found?
Everyday for how long before seeing some improvement? About how long before significant improvement? Just curious.
Hello Doctor
Thanks a lot.... Ur videos really helped me a lot .....from getting relief from cervical pain

Been doing this for 1 week now. It helps.
Great video! Will this also help the fatty neck hump? Mine isn't severe, but it is noticeable.
Most important is to continue to focus on good posture. Neck retractor exercises are important.
I'm so thankful for your videos. I have always had really bad neck problems and always have headaches and never thought about my posture once until a close family friend mentioned it. I have really bad forward head posture and sadly am developing a hump behind my neck and I just turned 22.. Sadly, I know its from technology and not being aware of my body. Now I'm worried about my posture and cant wait to put your exercises and tips into practice.
how is it now?

Watch Joseph Carter acupressure. He does it even more.

The way this young lady is demonstrating - I am sure that is the only thing I should ever do these attacks are so bad! And the pain! Omgod.. I'm glad I have the Universe to complain to and the raw food movement (the veggie stuff) to perk me up when I'm exhausted! I totally have to share this, too. I am sure Creator soul (a metaphysical nomer) is helping us!

Hi Doctor, how many minute and how many times in a day do we do this exercise in order to see results over time?
Hi Doc. I am 20 and have been a patient of vertebral wedging D12 and lumber lordosis since 6 years. I have always had backaches. But when the pain got unbearable I went on and done MRI, Xray, and blood test. In MRI i was diagnosed with Vertebral wedging D12 and Loss of lumber curvature in the Xray. I was also diagnosed with deficiency of vitamin D. My orthopaedic suggested me to take 3 supplements for a lifetime if not then at least for 7 to 8 months. He also suggested me to take sun exposure on the back. Its been 3 months i am taking the supplements. I feel a little change in my lower back. But I still have pain in my back.My shoulders started aching just after i started supplements ( I feel my lordosis is getting better but my upper back is still the same). I sleep on a very thin pillow because since i started my medication, my shoulders and neck couldn't bear a thick pillow. My back still hurts without any support on my back. When I do any work or i stand for instance in a kitchen for about 10 minutes my back starts aching. I am afraid I heard pregnancy gets very complicated once the back got worsened, My doc also suggested me do Physiotherapy but i am afraid because I have both D12 fracture and Lumber lordosis. Could you please help me out. I have asked so many specialists on youtube but none replied 😢
And the reason my back got more worsened is that I used to lift heavy weights. I used to lift side tables of my bed. Please help me Doc 😢
@@wajeehakhan4170 late reply but hey! First off my background is physio therapy. Not to trivialize your pain or condition, but I have seen people in worse condition than you go from being in bed 24 hours a day for years, to climbing mountains. People who had to take out entire disks in their spine. Never ever give up. No matter what injury you have in the back or otherwise, never give up on trying to move your body. Don't let doctors or surgeons tell you what to do, they don't always know whats best for you. The only thing that remains 100% certain, is that doing nothing, or only resting and taking pills, will make you worse. Especially your back and joints, they will have a harder time when your muscles atrophy from not moving, and muscle pain will spread to different areas. Strong muscles surrounding your joints help support the joint and reduces pain very effectively because there is less stress on the joint when it is properly supported. Joints are meant to move, and without movement, it deteriorates over time. For any joint or area of damage in your body to heal properly, full range of motion in the joint, proper nerve supply and blood supply is required. The best way to promote this, is general exercise. I wouldn't reccomend doing lifts until you are stronger, but gentle exercises, stretches, or walking will help relieve pain over time, and retrain your body to support your spine better so you don't fatigue so easily doing everyday things. Don't be afraid to try working with a physio therapist so you can find gentle ways to start exercising, but choose one who has some experience working with people with back conditions like your own. No matter how hopeless you feel, have faith in mother nature and the fact that once we give the body the help and movement it needs, miracles happen. 1 baby step at a time :)
scared as hell when i try this on the edge of my bed, afraid my neck will crack or something, but it felt good. i'll do this every day hopefully it would help...
Did it helped u??
@@NiteshSingh-ip6qf not really, after doing this for a while i feel worse lmao.... then i stopped and used other methods... like pulling ur neck with a towel etc, also i try to maintain a good posture as much as possible, i avoid sticking out or lowering my head, also if i have to use my computer i try to sit straight up instead of slouching my back... now im feeling a bit better than i used to feel
@@invisi6l339 u did it because of ur neck reversed it's c curve or u did it just to relive pain?
@@NiteshSingh-ip6qf i went to the hospital and took an x-ray scan, ive got military neck, it hasnt gotten to a debilitating point, doctor cant do anything about it but to suggest me to be careful and not to use my phone too much etc
@@invisi6l339 I have seen may people having forward head posture. Though they don't get any pain of anything disturbing. Do u think just military neck can cause that much of pain? Or there is something that we r not noticing. Like our daily physical inactivity, nutrition, stress & anxiety etc!?
okay, 22 and ive reaaaally noticed how much my posture has changed from texting and long hours on computer so I'll start this!! thank you!!
did it work?
This is great advice. Thanks for sharing your videos. What kind of a doctor are you?
Hi, I'm a Chiropractor.
motivationaldoc Thank you.
He's a chiropractor..
I received a device from a physical therapist, years ago to correct this neck problem. It is a sling that attaches to the head and has a 3 lb weight attached to it. I use it in the same position as your exercise here, (but with a little added weight of course).
I was watching this video on my mobile in the same forward position.. more.pain
Another good video Dr Mandell . Ive tried it and its already helped my neck pain and posture. Thanks.
Hi, can I ask please, how long do you do this stretch for every day before you noticed improvement in your posture?
got any pre/post xrays or pics to prove it works?
My brother does. He has scoliosis and his chiro did X-rays a year ago and last month. The curve is almost gone.
From this exercise?
Joanna Aniela exercise is to put curve back in
Andy P dude you want the curve lmao have your brother get a new doc
My MRI's showed improvement. I had not only lost the curve in my neck but it was actually inverted in the opposite direction. It caused me to become permanently disabled and on narcotic pain killers, muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory meds 24/7. I used an inversion machine at first then a full body traction mat that pushed the neck (and entire spine) into the correct anatomical position. It was accomplishing the same thing as demonstrated in the video. When my neck straightens and I begin to have migraines and other issues from a straight neck, I will sometimes grab a scarf and a family member and have them hold the scarf while cradling my neck. If they pull straight up and then in towards their body...my neck will crack. Similar to using a Y-strap but not nearly as violent. This puts the neck back into the correct position thus bringing great relief and again, it is measurable on an MRI but eventually will need to be done again. The same effect could be achieved by using a neck roll or rolled hand towel and placed in the curve of your neck while laying flat not the ground.
so glad I watched this video. the breathing has been getting difficult too and here I was thinking it was allergies or sinus infections. my recent x ray showed my neck is going in opposite direction. I have low blood flow to both my hears leading to massive pain. Dr is sending me to therapy but I'm thinking it's more severe than I thought.
I understand how to do this, but how does one come out of this SAFELY?
hahha
slowly left and right move back the neck and head in bed
@@mmuller1651 ohhhh damn thkss!!!
The simple exercise he demonstrates has made a world of difference for my debilitating neck and head pain. Also check out his video on proper sleeping postures.
Hello Dr. can I have your email please I have My MRI report & I want to send it to you
That felt good. I had a nagging pain in the neck after sitting in front of the PC for some time. This helped reduce it! FYI, I did this on the edge of my bed, and it works fine that way too.
Does this exercices help/correct also the ugly hump i have ??? Hope you'll understand my english !!

Thoroughly enjoyed every word of this - Nice one doc!
I have a question every time I look up I can hear my neck crack what does that mean
it means you should visit a doctor about it
Never seen a doctor looking so fit and maddy!
I have lost the curvature in my neck, and now have mild arthritis and crepitus. It's very disturbing. My chiropractor claims I can't restore the curvature and the arthritis will progress no matter what I do. Do you have any thoughts on that? Is there any way to stop the crackling? thanks
Sandra Olivier keep doing the exercise from the video. I here that boron helps your body to absorb calcium. it has helped me. Good luck
Doctors iv learnt tell you the wrong thing most times... it's good business to keep you sick... the world over says you can improve most anything with exercises yet the good old doctor says don't... keep doing the exercises take no notice iv learnt to do the opposite of most they tell me now...take tablets I don't... don't move to much it's painfull I did and I'm so much better for it...good luck keep moving..
Eat natto, it’s really high in K2 and will help you build your bone matrix. Also avoid calcium enriched foods like diary. They actually don’t go to your bone matrix, but build up else where and leave us deficient in calcium. Get calcium from vegetables, not supplements.
