I love these exercises and that you approach the imbalances rather than only the painful muscles. I found them in one of your previous videos and I have been doing them daily since, thank you!
I found the links for the foam roller, ball, and CLX band, in the “more” section of the description!! It’s harder to locate on my iPhone than on laptop, but I’m glad I figured it out! Thank you. I look forward to trying these exercises.🙏
I'm glad you found the links. Yes, I think the TH-cam app on iPhone is different than on the desktop. I hope the exercises help you. And thanks for subscribing!
Wow! Interesting, useful, effective I assume, based on my initial experience. That trigger point massage with the ball over my pecs not only revealed tightness but instantly and in a positive way affected my breathing! Along with SI joint work I’m in for a lot of DIY physical therapy in the foreseeable future. This beats the numerous sessions with therapists that I would normal use, decreasingly so lately as I’ve grown so sick of spending a fortune on therapy that turns out again and again to bring only temporary relief of the problem.
Doc, with Excerise 1, if you find the neck is shaking upon lifting AND lowering, is this still the same cause of weakness? I’m finding I have the shaking a bit upon lifting the neck as well.
Thanks so much for your videos...I'm REALLY jacked up in my neck and back! Would it help to lay with the foam roller on the middle of the spine or only horizontal?
I’m glad my videos are helpful. When someone lies on a foam roller vertically along their spine and arms out to the side it helps to stretch the pectoralis muscles passively. It can be helpful for releasing tight pecs.
I just recently found your videos. I found them to be GREAT. The images to pinpoint muscles and areas affected are very clever and helpful to make sure I do your exercises more precisely and effectively. Thank you very much for taking the time to help others.
Impressive video, Positive Motion Chiropractic. Looking forward to your next upload! I clicked the thumbs up symbol on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your explanation of upper cross syndrome was enlightening. How do you recommend integrating these exercises into a daily routine for those with a sedentary lifestyle?
Great video, Doc! Quick question on the CLX bands, do you cut them to size? Every time I check them online, there are super long bands that seem to go on and on. I can’t find one your length during the brugger’s. Can you help?
That is a great question! Yes, they come standard as nine loops and in the Brugger's exercise I am using just three of the loops. I cut the nine loop bands into three 3-loop sections. I cut them between the sections. And with multiple sets I leave one at home, one at my office, and I also have one for sharing. 😄
@@PositiveMotionChirothanks Doc! Would love to see more videos from you! Always loved your content. More upper cross syndrome solutions videos would be great!
You are fantastic! very knowledgeable.. I feel your exercised will help me for sure. Thank you so much. I will check your other videos. Also all the best in 2025.
I would check with your doctor because I cannot offer individualized treatment advice through TH-cam comments. With my patients who have small herniated discs in their lower cervical levels they seem to tolerate these exercises well and I always tell them to not do anything that causes discomfort or increases their symptoms.
You aged gracefully! I saw a 15 years old video of yours and if I didn't know it was the same person, I would take you as few years older sibling of that person but even more fit and vibrant!
I would ask your doctor to check in your individual case. But I do have patients that do. When we have forward head posture the suboccipital region gets thrust into extension and the suboccipital muscles work overtime. So getting proper posture in theory (and what I see in practice) helps to reduce occipital neuralgia. I wish you the best. 🙏🏼
@PositiveMotionChiro You're so right! The root of my problem is bad posture and weak back muscles. I'm trying to fix my posture and strengthen the muscles to reduce the pressure on my neck. Many thanks for your reply!
I love that you explain so much! And your calm voice.

Is this why I have constant pain/pressure behind my eyes and fatigue? Love your video
Thank you! I feel better after the first time I’m doing these. You’re a natural born instructor.
You made me smile. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. Mostly I see the same exercises. Do you have diagrams or sheets showing these?

I hadn’t thought of that. Good point!

Can I do these exercises even though I have a small herniated cervical disc at C5-C6 level?

Wow! I’m beaming! You made my week! 😊
Truly so. yet a little of a belly is visible. a keto/carnivore diet might help fix that.
Miow! @@robmik83
thanks - one thing though- when you do that sound effect for the words on screen its got way way too much bass... no need for the sound fx
Can we do these exercises if we have occipital neuralgia?

Standing on wall foam roller is more secure🙏
😢
What the hell is that going to do
With respect , You talk too much. sorry
No worries. I know that I am big picture and talk a lot. That's my style, but I know it is not everyones. Respect 🤙🏼
@@PositiveMotionChiro you do have a wonderful smile tho 😁
