These are wonderful exercises and explained in a clear, easy to understand fashion. My one concern is that for those with serious fibromyalgia the suggested reps given here are way too high and can cause severe fatigue and set back. Not tryin to discourage folks from trying, just wish that this was brought up and factored in. He did say "listen to your body" numerous times but as a person that has lived with fibromyalgia for yrs that is often hard to do. Hearing it put this way, ex. U may be a little sore ... isn't quite realistic. If I were to do these recommended reps I would then be in bed for the day. I hope to see more videos of this type that show ways to moderate the exercise(s) in ways and amts that work for those who are more seriously affected by fibromyalgia and other health issues.
Yes.... even combing hair is difficult sometimes and I don’t wanna comment what sometimes means for me .... I don’t even notice the other way around ...:) yet despite the body I keep moving ....it hurts but what else to do
Thank you so much! I know you're super busy and this was an old video, but I am an avid subscriber and you have helped me a lot. Do you think you could make any more videos specifically for Fibromylgia? Perhaps a lower body one? I don't mind, anything you upload helps me so much! Thanks a million
You’re the best, Matt Hsu. Your exercises suggested here are so simple yet sooooo effective. Who would have thought! And you explained them very clearly. I do the scapular retractions and shrugs anytime of the day I have a moment. I thank you so very much. My shoulders are feeling relief as they never have. Honestly, I was already researching for a physiotherapist to help. I’m glad I didn’t go ahead because yours helped tremendously after 2 times and once of your other video “The One Shoulder Exercise Everyone Should Do”. Thank you again. 🙏
Hi! I have had Fibromyalgia for about 4 years now and i have suffered pain mainly in my legs, arms, wrists and hands. But over the last few months pain has been progressing all over my body even places I don`t want it. I get very tired throughout the day and walking down town is a constant struggle so i am limited but I am trying to do it more often now. I have been getting really bad pain on the shoulder blades and neck lately and I didn`t think it was the Fibromyalgia to start off with but it is really painful and pain killers don`t work. I will use a hot water bottle on the location to help it, but it doesn`t go away. I came across your you tube on shoulder and neck exercises, I have only had chance to try it once so far, but it really has helped and i managed to do your set amount. I have still got a little pain but I will be doing them frequently and thank you for making the time to help us all. I couldn`t do the weight exercises though as I have 2 heart conditions and i know you shouldn`t use weights with Heart conditions but I will check with my GP.
I have had a heart condition all my life I was told I wouldn't see my teens I'm 67 and I am lifting weights and body weight exercises take it slow and easy and listen to what your body is telling you and no ego lifting that will get you into trouble. Lots of instructions for beginners to pro on TH-cam
Wow! Thank you so, so much!!! I don’t comment that often but these exercises are an instant relief for my shoulder-neck-pain-things! Not pain free but really, really better and it’s so super important that you take this serious, thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany
Omg thank you so much. This helped relieved my mouse shoulders pain and ache. Thank you very much. I had been suffering for about 7 months. Bless you good sir!!
Thank you so much for this video. I've spent the last 7 months struggling with what started as tight neck muscles, headaches and dizzyness and escalated into sharp shoulder pains that spread into both arms, wrists and fingers and eventually spread into my legs, knees, and ankles as well. The worst of the pain and stiffness is in my shoulders and neck, but physical therapy hasn't been helping so far. I started the shoulder exercises you demonstrated and plan to continue them. Thank you so much again.
@@pattyvanrijssel7563 Hi Patty, thanks for your kind message :) well, since this post 3 years ago I was officially diagnosed with an auto immune disorder as well as Lyme disease, which were the cause of my symptoms. Although I still do these shoulder exercises and get a little relief in combination with the medications I take and trips to the chiropractor.
Thanks for sharing these exercises ;it really helped ease spasm and pain in my lower shoulder which has become unbearable in six to seven months even physio therapy does not seem to fix it permanently. Thanks once again
Thank you so much my neck & shoulders have been so bad ,my meds haven't even touched it. Two days doing your exercises my fibromyalgi neck ,& shoulders are feeling beareble.👍
Can't tell you how much I love your videos. I am a professional bodyworker and keep finding new gems in your posts and videos, and my patients are profiting. Please keep it up, you are a hero!
Did exercises and they helped right away. This is the best exercises ever. And he explains everything so clearly. Thank you. I needed it so bad. Will conitnue to watch and do exercises daily
From one who has had fibromyalgia from way before it was labeled as such, bless you, Sir. I'm watching this video in 2022 and comparing you in videos I see now, to this one, it is obvious that your physical health has improved dramatically. I'm already doing a number of the exercises I've seen you do, and this just increases the likelihood I will continue. Do you also practice Ba Duan Jin?
Wooow.. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 3 months ago after years of pain.. the rheumatologist Told me to start an exercise routine alongside meds didn't know which one been doing stretches N feeling Frustrated.past few days been having A flare up , just did these and my upper back feels so good. I can actually sleep. Thanks a lot
Hi there, I suffer from fibro and I'm really happy that someone took the time to explain how to relieve this kind of pain. I started pilates a few weeks ago, which feels way better than being sedentary, but still is kinda hard on me. Thank you!
I am constantly looking for pain relief videos for my chronic pain, and never have found one that works. And the videos are all usually the same, so I was very skeptical coming into this video, but because it was so short I didn't mind watching it. And even after watching it I was still doubtful, but after doing one exercise I already felt a difference. Please exercises look very simple but if you have chronic pain then you know doing it is a different story. I highly recommend trying this video! I was only able to do two sets of everything on 10 or less reps. So I know there's a lot of more improvement to do, and I will hopefully remember to do this more often! (Yay brain fog)
THANKS! iM A CAREGIVER AND MY CLIENT HAS FIBRO AND WE NEED TO START DOING SOME STUFF. I APPRECAITE THE VIDEO ALOT MORE BECAUSE ITS COMING FROM SOMEONE WITH FIBRO.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your knowledge. You have suffered a lot and worked out these exercises. They are very helpful. I've been diagnosed after long last as well. My ankles, hips are in pain too. I've become over flexible that makes me worried and makes me feel like my legs and arms almost like don't belong to me. Do you have any exercises for legs and back? Thank you 🙏(I found your other videos. 👍🙏
Thank you for suggestions. I was excited to see beginner description bc in morning it takes moving by inches to even get out of bed. Neck moving 5-10 degrees sideways and intense pain. I could do the first 2. Third one- not a chance -I am not able to move arms 15 degrees away from sides and certainly cannot lift them. Then 4+5 have weights + lifting!!! I appreciate seeing the exercises but very hopeless to feel intense pain and lack of movement and the solution is not even close to realm of possibility. Fibromyalgia in my experience is debilitating and people need help for basic movement and coping with constant pain.
Yes i have done this for over 20yrs, but not as well as you have showed me ;) Thanx so much and i as well will keep watching and cant wait to see how ya can show me to help me next ;) THANX AGAIN :)
Really good and well described! I find 3x15 is enough for me, every other day. Wish there was more of this on TH-cam... ;-) Will go watch your other videos. Thanks so much!
Can someone who has fibromyalgia and does your strength rehab program eventually work up to doing something like Mark Rippetoe's 5by5 starting strength program? I used to not be able to use my hands at all without extreme pain, then after 4 months of intense massage done in India at Deepak Sharan's Recoup institute in Bangalore I got better. That was about 4 years ago. And I have been struggling with strength training because I tend to over do it and then I require massage which can be expensive in the US. Also thank you for the video and great content!
These may be helping as I have lost complete upper body strength...and btw at this point, there's no way that I could do the exercises with the weights, it's really frustrating., I can barely lift my arms to that place at the moment.
Hi, Thanks for the wonderful video I spend 8 hours sitting at my desk working on a laptop. I have rounded shoulders,protruding neck,posterior tilt and duck feet with flat feet. Flat feet and rounded shoulder I have from a very long time. My height is 5ft 5 and weight is 80 kg. Can you please help me in fixing my body. I am from India.
Hi Rakesh, check out our DIY programs like the Shoulder Fix (will really help with the shoulders and neck) and the Healthy Hips package (will help you wake up the right hip muscles). You can find them all here at uprighthealth.com/diy
Thank you💯 it feels better at this beginning hunchback stage to hold the 2nd move longer, and repeat. whats your opinion? Great video subject.. take care🧐
So glad I came accross this video. My biggest problem has been my upper body, so for exercising I walk and do steps. But upper body is a no-no, can't wait to try this!
Thanks dude . This really helped. However these exercises are not enough. There many more things you need along with them. Overall it certainly helped.
I hv been suffering with these kind of fybromyalgia pains for the past 8 years I too did not take any medicine. But now not any more I seriously need medical help .
Sir I wanna reach u..my condition is miserable with fibromyalgia from last 3 years and the pain is only increasing...consulted so many docs but no improvement at all
I"ll make a video on this eventually...but it was basically EVERYTHING. Feet, knees, hips, low back, shoulders, and occasional neck stuff. Wrists and hands used to be so bad I couldn't type for 5 minutes. Things have improved a lot...and it's because I didn't take the medical advice to just rest and hope everything would get better.
anybody has any kind of infalmation and hot flashes in whole body also with pain..i mean some time i cant breathe with chest and back tightness and spasm..cant explain..life is going hell
@@mardianmardiani7855 except for the first 2 the exercises are impossible to do. I cannot lift my arms much less extend from shoulders out or up...and add weights?
I went ahead and did the maximum reps on these, and I felt relief I hadn’t in years. Thank you, I’m crying currently
As tension releases, tears roll down. Thank you so much 🙏

Thanks a million
Thank you. I am having a very painful flareup and these exercises have eased it enormously ❤
Omg i just tried them in my bed. I already feel relief. Huge relief. I had extremely bad tension which was killing my shoulders and neck.
They once were here and now they are gone. As we will once be. Makes you appreciate each day ❤
Thank you!! Please keep making videos to help people with chronic pain and muscle weakness to strengthen up! Pain sucks, life shouldn’t 💪🏼
