The muscle contractions can be a response to stress, depression, head injury, or anxiety. They may occur at any age, but are most common in adults and older teens. 👍
Im 16yrs old and have horrible stress with school! I had a headache for 5 days and today it got worse. I used your exercises and it helped me so much, my lower skull felt like something was tugging it was alot of pressure and you relieved it so much thank you
I literally had the exact same case here.Stayed up all night reviewing for the past couple of days and began experiencing an intense tension around my lower skull and left eye.
Day 5? I have it for 5 years every day .. nothing helps.. even doctor couldnt help. Im searching after it every day and night but in 5 years noone could help. Shit world i want to die so bad..
Okay so I’ve had a horrible tension headache for 3 days ! It’s been waking me up out of my sleep, making me nauseous etc. You sir are a godsend! I just did all these exercises and the relief I got almost instantly….. I could cry! Thank you so much.
I've had chronic migraine and tension headache for 3 years now. Nothing seemed to work. No painkillers, no anti-depressants. I gave this a shot and honestly, I am shooked. It has helped relieve so much tension in my neck. I don't remember the last time i felt this relaxed. I'm gonna do these exercises everyday. I'm 18 and I start college next week and I thought i wouldn't have been able to perform as well given the headaches. But this has given me some hope. Maybe there's a way to be good again. Thank you so much doc
This is exactly what I needed to hear. been getting these suckers for over 5 years and nothing works it's been the bane of my existence I'll give this a try thanks guys 🙏🏿
I’ve had horrible migraine like pain behind my eye for almost a year, and now it’s gone after a few days of doing these. My parents refused to bring me to the hospital so thank goodness I found this.
I’ve had a mild tension headache for almost two weeks (not usual for me, typically lasts a few days at most) - day two of these exercises and I actually feel relief! Absolutely amazing, thank you so much for this video :) Truly life changing.
Just tried today, I worked through them all. The stretches felt so good, already feeling a release in my neck. I will do for a few days, along with my other stretches and exercises. Thanks so much. 🙏❤
Im literally about to cry from relief. For the past week I've been having this crazy migraine/neck pain and my appointment with neurologist is not till a week from now. I randomly click on this video and the results r pretty good. After the first time didn't completely healed me but definitely relieved the pain. Thanks!
I am so thankful for this video. I've spent the last few days doing a large amount of cleaning in preparation for guests. As a result I've been suffering from a extreme tension headache for about 10 hours. Nothing was helping. My guests will arrive tomorrow morning and I felt so disheartened that I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight or shake this headache resulting in a horrible day tomorrow. These exercises have cured my pain and I can finally get to sleep! Thank you so much!
Excuse me, but I love you. My headache was unbearable, didn’t know what to do anymore. That thing with the pillowcase was it for me. That was the one little muscle that was really bugging me and I didn’t know how to stretch. A thousand times thank you.
Just want you to know I had chronic tension headaches for 2 straight months, I started doing these stretches 2 days ago and I feel 90% relief. Thank you so much!
My Goodness it actually WORKS!! You are a gift from god. I thought I was a migraine suffer because I get headaches weekly and they stick around for two days, but I've followed your advice in here and it shifted it just like you said - in 5 mins, and that was without medication. I cannot thank you enough. I have been to the doctors for two years so many times in tears over headaches, had a brain scan - and NOT ONE doctor has ever mentioned it could be tension from posture. I'm so grateful I found your video, thank you so so much.
you tried buckwheat shell pillow? i have been using that for the past 10 years, since i started using that, my tension headaches reduced from 4 times per week to 5 times per year.
@@lycaondoug hi - I did all four together, really concentrating on feeling the stetch, slowly getting into the stretch and pulling it so that I couldnt extend that muscle any further. I found it hard doing tge stretches because my neck was so tense and rickerty, especially the pillowcase one, but I stayed in the stretch, really focused on streching and relieving the tension, to the point it hurt, but it felt good because I knew I was really stretching for tgat tension to escape. I think the combination of extending the neck muscles (which my poor posture had overloaded) and stretching out the back posture muscle is what has worked. Im also trying to be more careful now of my posture as I walk, sit, work at the computer. Im probably on doing this 50% of the time though. Ive still not had a headache so this has been a miracle cure for me. I must have had so much built up tension. how have you found them?
@@josephinewliu No Ive not tried a buckwheat pillow, but that skunds interesting. I want to get a posture pillow but dont know what to get. what do you like about it, and what made you go for it?
Thank you so much. I was crying because of this tension headache, as I prayed to God I found your video. I felt so much relieved after doing these stretches. Thank you. God bless.
2 years later and this video is still amazing, I was feeling the worse pain ever after I had a panic attack and doing this stretches helped when it felt like nothing else could.
Due to my upcoming exams...I am spending more and more time on my laptop for educational videos, which is I think the reason behind the stress in my upper back and neck...but this video helped me a lot...Thank you.😊😊
Omg these worked. Had pain in my neck jaw and temple, meds worked for like 5 min but it never went completely away. Thought my blood pressure was acting up so was about to call my doc. Found this vid and thank you so much. Doing all of these with the vid gave so much relief instantly
I read the comments said that the pillow case is the best one that worked for lots of people. I was having a head splitting headache so I tried it. It really worked! I swear I couldn't do anything but laying down when I had an extreme headache. But after the pillow case excercise I was able to move around and do some light chores. Of course the headache is still around, but it helps reduced the pain. Thank you so much!
Hi. I just wanted to say that the stretches in this video were literally the only things that have worked for my neck that has been in spasm in and off for years. I practice judo, and my neck has taken tons of abuse over the years. In particular, the stretch with the pillow case literally freed up the tightness and clicking in my neck. Thank you so much:) Matt
Awesome, thank you for these exercises. So far after doing them once it seems that the tension at the back of my head and neck feels better. I’ll keep doing it daily. Thanks 🙏
Wow! My anxiety causes unbearable tension headaches and my neck seems to seize up and cause so many problems. But doing these exercises really helped ease the symptoms. Thanks so much!!!
Do you ever have like a pressure on the back of your neck or top of your head? I’ve been super stressed the last year and a half and I feel like sometimes someone is squeezing my head. It’s strange.
@@Diamondranchfarmstead I’ve had that happen randomly the last three years. Makes me pretty anxious but it comes and goes. Think it’s just anxiety though.
@dianaalvarado8956me too, I’m on month 4 and suffer from anxiety- I get pressure daily in back and top of my head. It cause me balance issues and focusing issues. I really hope we can find relief soon, I feel you 😔
Wow God bless you. I’ve literally had a bad migraine for few days that I felt dizzy and nauseous but after this exercise and ice pack I felt myself again. Thank you so much
Before I tried the pillowcase stretch, I wasn’t able to turn my head all the way to the side. I was experiencing tension headaches in my temple and the base of my head. 5 minutes after stretching I can now turn my head all the way, and my headache has almost completely subsided. Thank you so much!!!
Honestly speaking the pain gone in just 10 seconds from the first shown exercise by just lying down and pushed my chin down. I was about to take the medicine again. It's amazing. THANK YOU
Hello. I have problems with tension headache for a year now and i have tried physical therapy and multiple pain medications and nothing has been working for me. I have seen this video this week and your streches have been working miracles for me, the headache is literally gone in minutes even tho it comes back during the day i feel much better and i have hope now that i will fix my headache. I just want to thank you from my heart for your video and god bless you.
I was a step away from going to the hospital from being in so much pain.. I believe my tension headache is due to Covid but this seriously gave me SO much relief, I’m no longer nauseous aswell!! Thank you SO much!!❤😊
Relaxing as much as possible is helping me, not tensing but putting all my effort into easing my anxiety has greatly reduced the tension by a lot, thoughts of anger or anxiety trigger horrible pressure, guess I’m suppose to be happy and this is my body’s way of saying that
This is INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much. I had a constant tension headache for almost a week, it was debilitating. Everyone kept saying it was due to stress and although it may have partly been, no painkillers or relaxing was taking it away. All gone now and I'm going to be so much more aware of my posture from now on. Keep it up
I started getting massive tension headaches any time I do upper body workouts (particularly when I take weights overhead). The exercises in this video have brought me relief. My pain and nauseousness aren't completely gone, but this is helping quite a bit. Thank you so much!
I was on a work trip in my hotel room last night. As i was facetiming my girlfriend i felt it moving up my neck info the base of my skull. For years i thought they were occipital lobe migraines. I got so desperate i looked up how to get rid if migraines and somehow this popped up. THANK YOU. Literally within 5 mins something thats plagued me for years just went away magically. It was so bad when i was younger i considered going to the hospital. Youve improved my quality of life tenfold.
I’ve been having terrible migraines on the left side of my head since I was 16 , I’ve been to multiple doctors they couldn’t never tell me what it was , im 18 now and I just found this video and it’s helped so much, thank you!
this is actually helping, first time these types of excercises ever helped me with pain, felt a relief of the tension right away and it felt so damn nice
Thank you for sharing these exercises. I have never experienced a tension headache until a day ago and had no idea what was going on. Once I did the pillow case trick it was like all my tension released in an instant. Thanks so much!
Doc,I am eternally grateful for these great videos. Most of the time, I take the first set of exercises and find myself relieved of pains! It's just magical! Thanks a million.
I had a pop in the back of my head from weight lifting and I’ve been getting a stiff neck and tension headaches since. This has been helping immensely and i’m grateful I stumbled upon those
Came here with what was easily the worst headache of my life and one of the worst pains I’ve felt. After running though this a couple times all that immense pain is almost entirely gone. I really have to thank you for the amazing job!
I've been alot of paracetamols, spa massage, quack doctors, cupping etc.. when i reached ur video and i did the exercise wow i feel so great! thank u so much!!!
I had an intense tension headache during work. I forgot my pain reliever at home so I went to my car during my lunch break found this video and GONE was the headache! Couldn’t thank you enough for making this video! Saved me from a bad day at work!
Did you try these exercises? What did you think? I would LOVE to hear from you in a comment below! Also if you know someone who would benefit from these exercises please SHARE this video with them. Finally if you have a lot of tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper traps I highly encourage you to watch this video as well: th-cam.com/video/4px5_RzXmqU/w-d-xo.html Hope you feel better! 🙏🏼
Hey man, I just watched your video on pinched nerves in the neck, did your exercises, and they already show their first effects. I got 2 questions however. 1. My doc and physio therapist are sure (without imaging technologies) that a blocked vertebrae is the cause of the pinched nerve. My question: Can this really be possible? Because I am still very much scared it could be a herniated disc or so, as my arms and legs tingle, hurt, sometimes feel somewhat numb and weak and my vertebrae area hurts. 2. Question: If it really is a pinched nerve and it is "just" a vertebrae blockage... How long can this take until the nerve fully regenerates and stops fricking beating the s*** out of me and my psych? Edit: The area which hurts is in the thorax part of the spine by the way.
Thanks a lot sir i have 1 question i m doing daily exercises and till now the back and neck lower back pain is not showing any improvement what can i do please suggest me thanks a lot
@@zyclegaming2229 It's not your brain. The brain itself can't feel any pain as far as I know... you might have tension headaches but I'd recommend you go see a doctor to make sure :)
I had a bad headache that comes and goes for a week and for some reason, resting on bed and relax is the best way to relief it. My doctor said probably from stress from sitting in front of computer all day. I wish they would recommend me doing exercises like this. I think we all need good stretch from time to time.
Came across this video after suffering from debilitating headache for a week and just like that I felt immense relief. Thank you for saving me and countless others from pain and needless visits to the doctor.
I sorta discovered parts of this on my own. I thought the headaches I was getting were related to weather pressure changes and were related to sinus issues. Turns out it was this type of headache. I was just doing neck stretches, randomly to get some relief. I will try these more targeted exercises next time it happens.
I’ve been suffering from daily headaches and sometimes migraines. I have several conditions that I’ve been told could be causing my daily headaches/migraines. I’ve been visiting different doctors to help me figure out what is causing my headaches/migraines. Today I decided to look for “shoulders headaches” and I stumbled into your video. I’m doing this working right now. I hope it works, or at least, help me lessen my daily headaches 🙏
God bless you dear I had bad headaches including neck pain for two weeks in raw and I watched your vedio just now at 130 am because I couldn't sleep with the pain and I finally got better after I did the stretch! Thank you so much
I’m feeling a lot of pain and tension at the back of my neck, this helps a lot!! Thank you so much men. Liked and subscribed to show my appreciation. 🙏👌🏽
Almost never get headaches but a tension headache started 3 days ago, nothing working...tried these exercises this morning and it has subsided massively...so relieved! Will repeat them. Huge thank you.
Thank you, 26 days ago it started & prescriptions (B2 & Magnesium Oxide). Half day of stretching following this routine (which i found yesterday afternoon) and it's gone. Chin tuck was the biggest missing component. Much appreciated. 👍 Mine was caused by exercise and pretty sure not properly supporting my head/neck. edit: for future readers- it didn't stay gone, but the stretch does offer immediate relief.
@@eneat2521 Yeah it went away in January/February. I had mine for a month. Has never came back after it. But i think it was lack of sleep and water. Drink alot and sleep and do head excercises and it will go away brother. Good luck ❤️
@@AsherneZ mine is probably lack of sleep as i sleep at like 3am everyday, I’ll definitely be getting more sleep and doing exercises. How often did you do the exercises? Had mine for 2 weeks straight and can’t deal with it anymore
OMG! What happened to my tension headache I had for days and days? GONE! I cannot believe that after so long with the suffering, doing these neck exercises for tension headache because my neck WAS stiff, took the head pain away! These exercises legit work!!
Headache had been going on for 2 weeks now, yesterday I tried this, and again this morning, and I must say that it is doing something, I'm starting to feel like a person again....thank you!
I’m here LIVE for one hour after the launch of this new video! Did you like it? Did you try any of the exercises? Let me know your experience and questions!
Not yet do you have knee exercises as my knee is still paining from 2 august after i twisted my knee love your channel sooooooooo much love your exercises sooooooooooo much Thanks Ramya
I had an anxiety attack yesterday it was so bad that I thought i was going to die. Today ive been having bad headaches all day and the left side of my neck was so stiff and painful. Nothing seem to help!! Finnaly i found your video and did the exercise i felt sooooo much better. I think its gone but because i had it for 24hrs i still feel like its still there. But you save me from a great pain. Thank you so much. Youre an angel
I’ve been plagued with headaches & migraines since I was a child and never really knew what caused them, assumed it was genetic. During the pandemic I’ve been on my PC so much and the headaches started increasing; I found myself in pain most days, sometimes even vomiting. One time during a bad 5 day migraine, my husband massaged the back of my head and the pain went away! I started suspecting then that it was tension headaches. I started working on correcting my posture after a neck injury, many of those exercises are similar to this video. After weightlifting yesterday got another bad migraine with aura. I can’t tell you how much the pain lessened after doing the exercises in this video. Thank you thank you so so much 😭
Dude! Awesome video: well structured, time stamps, informative but doesn't waste any time, great demonstration with explanations, not too loud or quiet, good camera work, humour, and links to other useful videos = You've earned my 👍 and subscription! Also, those biceps are seriously starting to get in the way of the trapezius stretches 😂 Seriously though, amazing job! I wish all TH-camrs would know how to make videos like yours. Keep up the good work!
My headache wasn’t too happy with your intro music but it made sure that yes indeed I was having a headache 😛 Feel better now after doing these. Thank you. You are forgiven for the heavy metal in the beginning.
I have severe Vitamin D deficiency (Less than 3 Units) and was also diagnosed with Cervical Spondylosis. I have had an increase in neck pain and the back of my held felt so heavy! This video and the exercises helped me a lot!! Thanks!
Same but it didn’t work for me my eyes are burning I don’t know why my headache is def tension but it’s like my head is pumpin hot water into my eyes and sides of my head
I have been dealing with tension headaches for a few years, I'd say 4 years. I realize they are always brought on by stress whether emotional or mental. When they occur I have a tight feeling sensation, almost like my head is being squeezed and also I have a tight/tense feeling on my neck, at the back where head and neck connect. Does anyone else have this happen to them too?
@@Jasmine-of7sq the headaches just went away for me. Now I’m just dealing with derealization from time to time. It comes and goes. It’ll one day be gone completely. There are times when I feel normal. It’s been like 2 months and a half. Maybe the headaches are coming from ur neck. U should try inversion table therapy. It helped mine. Maybe medication to…. not that I’ve tried it but Maybe it could help u.
Oh my gosh! Htf did you just fix me!!?? It was driving me insane. Thousand thankyous. Im now sunscribing to your channel in an attempt to fix my posture properly. Youre an angel!
Hey Jared. Been having bad tension headaches and jaw clenching every day, feeling like my head was in a vice. At first I thought the headaches were just from jaw clenching but after a bit of education (including this video) I found that both are likely caused by prolonged sitting, poor posture, stress, shallow breathing and muscle tightness in other parts of the body. Day two of doing these exercises and so far they seem to be working. In fact I felt the onset of a headache after sitting for four hours today and thwarted it with these stretches. Sincere gratitude! Few questions about the chin tuck. When doing them I feel an intense stretch from the tips of my shoulders down to my forearm, is that normal? Also feel the urge to slightly arch my back off the floor while tucking, that ok or try to keep back flat against the floor? Last question: the tucks somewhat obstruct breathing, hold breath or try to breathe through them?
Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm a 19 year old college student. I have been battling daily headaches and muscle tension for over a year. I have tried everything from brain scans to allergy testing to chiropractor. I'm currently trying Atlas Orthogonal. I've had maybe 4 adjustments done and haven't received any relief. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know. Thank you so much.
Did these stretches help you? I'm having a similar problem but I haven't done any tests. My headaches are usually the worst right after waking up, then it persists throughout the day. Is it the same for you? Also, do you sit at a computer a lot? How is your posture?
I've done similar exercises like these to strengthen my neck muscles, and wound up WITH a headache afterwards. Also, I often wake up with headaches...do you have any advice on sleep positions or pillows to avoid this type of muscle-tension headache? Thank you for all your informative videos!
I often find that if people push these TOO HARD it can result in increased pain afterwards. My advice would be back off everything and keep all the stretches as comfortable as possible. Consistency over intensity every single time. As far as the sleeping thing - you bet I can help! Check these out and let me know if they help: th-cam.com/video/xZfIn_OHADI/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/-Qxmc4E7IwA/w-d-xo.html

Hi. I just wanted to say that the stretches in this video were literally the only things that have worked for my neck that has been in spasm in and off for years. I practice judo, and my neck has taken tons of abuse over the years. In particular, the stretch with the pillow case literally freed up the tightness and clicking in my neck. Thank you so much:)
Matt
You are so welcome, Matt! I am glad these stretches have helped you so much!
The pressure is still there, but pain is completely gone. Thanks a lot!
Wonderful! You are welcome!
Hey i have been feeling pressure on one side of my head due to which my neck and nose feels stretched with no pain.. Is this due to stress?
I did the double chin exercise, felt a pop behind my neck and wow 😲😲😲😲, i can actually open my eyes now because the pain just left. Thanks a mil
You are welcome, Leven Lyfe! I am so glad that exercise helped you!
Awesome, thank you for these exercises. So far after doing them once it seems that the tension at the back of my head and neck feels better. I’ll keep doing it daily. Thanks 🙏
That is amazing news! So glad it is helping and thanks for sharing!
Wow! My anxiety causes unbearable tension headaches and my neck seems to seize up and cause so many problems. But doing these exercises really helped ease the symptoms. Thanks so much!!!
I am so happy to hear that, TrailBlazer! Thanks for sharing!
Do you ever have like a pressure on the back of your neck or top of your head? I’ve been super stressed the last year and a half and I feel like sometimes someone is squeezing my head. It’s strange.
@@Diamondranchfarmstead I’ve had that happen randomly the last three years. Makes me pretty anxious but it comes and goes. Think it’s just anxiety though.
@dianaalvarado8956me too, I’m on month 4 and suffer from anxiety- I get pressure daily in back and top of my head. It cause me balance issues and focusing issues. I really hope we can find relief soon, I feel you 😔
Wow God bless you. I’ve literally had a bad migraine for few days that I felt dizzy and nauseous but after this exercise and ice pack I felt myself again. Thank you so much
Wonderful news! You are very welcome!
Hi Bamsiha, I'm having same issue pls help me what should I do... I can't sleep due to headache all night
Before I tried the pillowcase stretch, I wasn’t able to turn my head all the way to the side. I was experiencing tension headaches in my temple and the base of my head. 5 minutes after stretching I can now turn my head all the way, and my headache has almost completely subsided. Thank you so much!!!
You are very welcome! I am so glad to hear that stretch helped and thanks for sharing!
Please suggest me what is pillow stretch exercise?
@@mixxfire656 watch the video?
I did these exercises 5 minutes ago and I can already feel the pain ease. Thank you!
Wonderful news!
Me 2 thnkx uuh
Honestly speaking the pain gone in just 10 seconds from the first shown exercise by just lying down and pushed my chin down. I was about to take the medicine again. It's amazing. THANK YOU
You are welcome!
Hello. I have problems with tension headache for a year now and i have tried physical therapy and multiple pain medications and nothing has been working for me. I have seen this video this week and your streches have been working miracles for me, the headache is literally gone in minutes even tho it comes back during the day i feel much better and i have hope now that i will fix my headache. I just want to thank you from my heart for your video and god bless you.
Oh, you are so welcome! This is amazing news!
I was a step away from going to the hospital from being in so much pain.. I believe my tension headache is due to Covid but this seriously gave me SO much relief, I’m no longer nauseous aswell!! Thank you SO much!!❤😊
You are very welcome!
It seems like magic. After doing this exercise my headache is gone in an instant. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome! That is such great news!
Relaxing as much as possible is helping me, not tensing but putting all my effort into easing my anxiety has greatly reduced the tension by a lot, thoughts of anger or anxiety trigger horrible pressure, guess I’m suppose to be happy and this is my body’s way of saying that
Poor health leads to anger and anxiety,all kinds of muscle pains are a side symptom
Wow it really worked, I’ve been dealing with neck pain badly due to sleeping wrong and this helped a lot, thanks.
This is INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much. I had a constant tension headache for almost a week, it was debilitating. Everyone kept saying it was due to stress and although it may have partly been, no painkillers or relaxing was taking it away. All gone now and I'm going to be so much more aware of my posture from now on. Keep it up
You're so welcome!
is it gone forever?
I felt great doing these. I have cold and flu and the cough has really got me. The headaches the worst. These exercises are a great relief.
Glad you like them!
Guys this worked I felt absolute relief afterward thank you so much.
Wonderful, Ronnie! Thanks for sharing!
I started getting massive tension headaches any time I do upper body workouts (particularly when I take weights overhead). The exercises in this video have brought me relief. My pain and nauseousness aren't completely gone, but this is helping quite a bit. Thank you so much!
That’s wonderful news! You are so welcome!
I get these headaches after working out as well, good to see I’m not alone
I was on a work trip in my hotel room last night. As i was facetiming my girlfriend i felt it moving up my neck info the base of my skull. For years i thought they were occipital lobe migraines. I got so desperate i looked up how to get rid if migraines and somehow this popped up. THANK YOU. Literally within 5 mins something thats plagued me for years just went away magically. It was so bad when i was younger i considered going to the hospital. Youve improved my quality of life tenfold.
Wonderful news!
I’ve been having terrible migraines on the left side of my head since I was 16 , I’ve been to multiple doctors they couldn’t never tell me what it was , im 18 now and I just found this video and it’s helped so much, thank you!
Thanks for sharing!!
this is actually helping, first time these types of excercises ever helped me with pain, felt a relief of the tension right away and it felt so damn nice
Wonderful news! So glad this is helping!
Thank you for sharing these exercises. I have never experienced a tension headache until a day ago and had no idea what was going on. Once I did the pillow case trick it was like all my tension released in an instant. Thanks so much!
Oh, wonderful! I am so glad that stretch was helpful!
Doc,I am eternally grateful for these great videos. Most of the time, I take the first set of exercises and find myself relieved of pains! It's just magical! Thanks a million.
You are so welcome, Maggy! I am glad you are finding my content helpful and thanks for sharing!
I had a pop in the back of my head from weight lifting and I’ve been getting a stiff neck and tension headaches since. This has been helping immensely and i’m grateful I stumbled upon those
So glad you are feeling better!
Came here with what was easily the worst headache of my life and one of the worst pains I’ve felt. After running though this a couple times all that immense pain is almost entirely gone. I really have to thank you for the amazing job!

Did you try these exercises? What did you think? I would LOVE to hear from you in a comment below! Also if you know someone who would benefit from these exercises please SHARE this video with them. Finally if you have a lot of tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper traps I highly encourage you to watch this video as well: th-cam.com/video/4px5_RzXmqU/w-d-xo.html Hope you feel better! 🙏🏼
Hey man, I just watched your video on pinched nerves in the neck, did your exercises, and they already show their first effects.
I got 2 questions however.
1. My doc and physio therapist are sure (without imaging technologies) that a blocked vertebrae is the cause of the pinched nerve. My question: Can this really be possible? Because I am still very much scared it could be a herniated disc or so, as my arms and legs tingle, hurt, sometimes feel somewhat numb and weak and my vertebrae area hurts.
2. Question: If it really is a pinched nerve and it is "just" a vertebrae blockage... How long can this take until the nerve fully regenerates and stops fricking beating the s*** out of me and my psych?
Edit: The area which hurts is in the thorax part of the spine by the way.
Thanks a lot sir i have 1 question i m doing daily exercises and till now the back and neck lower back pain is not showing any improvement what can i do please suggest me thanks a lot
@@zyclegaming2229 It's not your brain. The brain itself can't feel any pain as far as I know... you might have tension headaches but I'd recommend you go see a doctor to make sure :)
Does tension headaches cause nausea? I do feel it..
@@babittarani It most definitely can. But always keep in mind, it must not always be the cause of it, so also check for other possible causes.
Yes tension headaches increased due to covid times !very nice way of explaining !👍
Thanks so much! I hope you found it helpful!
i’m having that now:(
I was thinking the same thing is it the mask?
@Clark Segui yess it’s so frustrating, but tbh i’m just glad it’s normal and other people are having it too
@@christopherlopez877 The mask is harmless. Don't be one of those types.
I had a bad headache that comes and goes for a week and for some reason, resting on bed and relax is the best way to relief it. My doctor said probably from stress from sitting in front of computer all day. I wish they would recommend me doing exercises like this. I think we all need good stretch from time to time.
Came across this video after suffering from debilitating headache for a week and just like that I felt immense relief. Thank you for saving me and countless others from pain and needless visits to the doctor.
That’s amazing news! Thanks for sharing!
I been suffering bad migraines for a long time, I’m willing to try anything. Headache medicine only makes it worse
It's not for classical migraines.
Your Head must be hurting from Biden living rent free in it 🤣🤣🤣
I sorta discovered parts of this on my own. I thought the headaches I was getting were related to weather pressure changes and were related to sinus issues. Turns out it was this type of headache. I was just doing neck stretches, randomly to get some relief. I will try these more targeted exercises next time it happens.
When I did the pillow case stretch I felt my neck pop and the pain went. I immediately thought: whoever came up with this was in a lot of pain.
I am so glad it helped you!
Please suggest what is pillow stretch exercise?
Same here !!!
I’ve been suffering from daily headaches and sometimes migraines. I have several conditions that I’ve been told could be causing my daily headaches/migraines. I’ve been visiting different doctors to help me figure out what is causing my headaches/migraines. Today I decided to look for “shoulders headaches” and I stumbled into your video. I’m doing this working right now. I hope it works, or at least, help me lessen my daily headaches 🙏
I hope it helps!
Have you done any ctscan?
God bless you dear I had bad headaches including neck pain for two weeks in raw and I watched your vedio just now at 130 am because I couldn't sleep with the pain and I finally got better after I did the stretch! Thank you so much
You are welcome! I am so glad to hear this helped.
I’m feeling a lot of pain and tension at the back of my neck, this helps a lot!! Thank you so much men. Liked and subscribed to show my appreciation. 🙏👌🏽
You are very welcome! I am so glad this video helped you and thanks for your support!
Wow! 1, 3 and 4 helped! The origin of my tension headache is stress. I carry it in my shoulders.
Great to hear! Thank you for sharing!
The second exercise, pillowcase stretch, is what did it for me. Noticed a huge relief. Thank you!!
You're so welcome! I am glad that stretch helped and thanks for sharing!
Almost never get headaches but a tension headache started 3 days ago, nothing working...tried these exercises this morning and it has subsided massively...so relieved! Will repeat them. Huge thank you.
Wonderful news! You are very welcome!
I had to stop studying today cause my headache was so bad, these exercises made the pain go down by like 90% Thank you!!!!!!!!
That is great news, Akash! I am so glad this helped you.
1- Chin Tucks, 3-5 sec hold, 20-30 reps
2- Cervical Rotation Stretch, 20 Sec hold, repeat 3x each side
3- Upper Trapezius Stretch, 20 Sec hold, repeat 3x each side
4- Scapular Pinches, 3 sets of 10-20 reps
Thanks for helping others out!
This was super helpful. I watched the whole video, but it is still super helpful to have it listed here. Thank you. And thank you for the video!
Thank u dear
Thank you, 26 days ago it started & prescriptions (B2 & Magnesium Oxide). Half day of stretching following this routine (which i found yesterday afternoon) and it's gone. Chin tuck was the biggest missing component. Much appreciated. 👍
Mine was caused by exercise and pretty sure not properly supporting my head/neck.
edit: for future readers- it didn't stay gone, but the stretch does offer immediate relief.
Wonderful news, Carlos! I am so glad you are feeling better!
Is it gone now, i have had one for little over 2 weeks now
@@AsherneZis yours gone?
@@eneat2521 Yeah it went away in January/February. I had mine for a month. Has never came back after it. But i think it was lack of sleep and water. Drink alot and sleep and do head excercises and it will go away brother. Good luck ❤️
@@AsherneZ mine is probably lack of sleep as i sleep at like 3am everyday, I’ll definitely be getting more sleep and doing exercises. How often did you do the exercises? Had mine for 2 weeks straight and can’t deal with it anymore
Boy do I Thank God for you! So happy to have found your channel🙂
Oh, thank you so much! It is my pleasure to help you!
OMG! What happened to my tension headache I had for days and days? GONE! I cannot believe that after so long with the suffering, doing these neck exercises for tension headache because my neck WAS stiff, took the head pain away! These exercises legit work!!
Wonderful to hear, Ann!
Headache had been going on for 2 weeks now, yesterday I tried this, and again this morning, and I must say that it is doing something, I'm starting to feel like a person again....thank you!

But you save me from a great pain. Thank you so much. Youre an angel
You are so welcome! Glad you are feeling better!
was it gone forever?
I’ve been plagued with headaches & migraines since I was a child and never really knew what caused them, assumed it was genetic.
During the pandemic I’ve been on my PC so much and the headaches started increasing; I found myself in pain most days, sometimes even vomiting.
One time during a bad 5 day migraine, my husband massaged the back of my head and the pain went away! I started suspecting then that it was tension headaches.
I started working on correcting my posture after a neck injury, many of those exercises are similar to this video.
After weightlifting yesterday got another bad migraine with aura. I can’t tell you how much the pain lessened after doing the exercises in this video. Thank you thank you so so much 😭
Oh, I am so glad to hear this helped you! Thank you for sharing!
Ty you just don't know you saved my life. I was in so much pain I needed these methods so bad
I am so happy I could help!
Dude! Awesome video: well structured, time stamps, informative but doesn't waste any time, great demonstration with explanations, not too loud or quiet, good camera work, humour, and links to other useful videos = You've earned my 👍 and subscription! Also, those biceps are seriously starting to get in the way of the trapezius stretches 😂 Seriously though, amazing job! I wish all TH-camrs would know how to make videos like yours.

Do you have pressure around eyes ?
Same but it didn’t work for me my eyes are burning I don’t know why my headache is def tension but it’s like my head is pumpin hot water into my eyes and sides of my head

Try using far infrared heat therapy;consulting your physiotherapist .It's gonna work wonders for u for sure
Also exercises later on
I have been dealing with tension headaches for a few years, I'd say 4 years. I realize they are always brought on by stress whether emotional or mental. When they occur I have a tight feeling sensation, almost like my head is being squeezed and also I have a tight/tense feeling on my neck, at the back where head and neck connect. Does anyone else have this happen to them too?
Me bro same feeling from last 5 months
I’ve had it for one month. Caused derealization to. I think it was brought on by severe stress
@@hairynipps2599 how did you cure it and how did it go away. Pls lmk
@@Jasmine-of7sq the headaches just went away for me. Now I’m just dealing with derealization from time to time. It comes and goes. It’ll one day be gone completely. There are times when I feel normal. It’s been like 2 months and a half. Maybe the headaches are coming from ur neck. U should try inversion table therapy. It helped mine. Maybe medication to…. not that I’ve tried it but Maybe it could help u.
Oh my gosh! Htf did you just fix me!!?? It was driving me insane. Thousand thankyous. Im now sunscribing to your channel in an attempt to fix my posture properly. Youre an angel!

Did yours leave forever so far?
Tried these today, what a difference. Thank you for the info and your time to make and post this video.
Glad it helped!
Hey Jared. Been having bad tension headaches and jaw clenching every day, feeling like my head was in a vice. At first I thought the headaches were just from jaw clenching but after a bit of education (including this video) I found that both are likely caused by prolonged sitting, poor posture, stress, shallow breathing and muscle tightness in other parts of the body. Day two of doing these exercises and so far they seem to be working. In fact I felt the onset of a headache after sitting for four hours today and thwarted it with these stretches. Sincere gratitude!
Few questions about the chin tuck. When doing them I feel an intense stretch from the tips of my shoulders down to my forearm, is that normal? Also feel the urge to slightly arch my back off the floor while tucking, that ok or try to keep back flat against the floor? Last question: the tucks somewhat obstruct breathing, hold breath or try to breathe through them?
Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm a 19 year old college student. I have been battling daily headaches and muscle tension for over a year. I have tried everything from brain scans to allergy testing to chiropractor. I'm currently trying Atlas Orthogonal. I've had maybe 4 adjustments done and haven't received any relief. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know. Thank you so much.
Did these stretches help you? I'm having a similar problem but I haven't done any tests. My headaches are usually the worst right after waking up, then it persists throughout the day. Is it the same for you?
Also, do you sit at a computer a lot? How is your posture?
I've done similar exercises like these to strengthen my neck muscles, and wound up WITH a headache afterwards. Also, I often wake up with headaches...do you have any advice on sleep positions or pillows to avoid this type of muscle-tension headache? Thank you for all your informative videos!
I often find that if people push these TOO HARD it can result in increased pain afterwards. My advice would be back off everything and keep all the stretches as comfortable as possible. Consistency over intensity every single time. As far as the sleeping thing - you bet I can help! Check these out and let me know if they help: th-cam.com/video/xZfIn_OHADI/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/-Qxmc4E7IwA/w-d-xo.html
