Man, im in tears right now. A grown man, 28 years old. I had hit a speed bump on 94 outside of Detroit and it came on so sudden that I tensed up super tight. When I hit the bump it felt like I could feel my spine compress. and the pain was unfucking real. I tried to lay down that night and it hurt so bad I couldnt even sleep. I hopped on youtube and looked up how to help, and then this came up. So insanely helpful. You are a miracle worker my friend
@@DrRowe Same here, was doing some presses at the gym and this insane pane came on. Literally couldn't do anything but sit. Did some of these stretches and I feel like a new man, not 100% but absolutely brilliant
I've suffered from back pain for almost 2 years. Today I found your video, did everything as you showed, and ALL THE PAIN IS GONE. Thank you so so much. I even went to a chiropractic.
I had a pinched nerve 3 years ago that the pain went through my Rhomboid muscle all around shoulder blade and through my shoulder all the way down my arm and it had me literally crying on The ground and it took me weeks of massages, medicines for it to finally go away . Two days ago i had the exact pinched nerve and same pain and i was really discouraged because i didn’t want to go through that painful battle again. I tried several stretches from various youtube videos and nothing . I read the comments of this video and they were all positive. After 30 minutes of doing all these stretches it was gone . Like I never had a pinched nerve.
I'm so lucky to have found this video. For years I've been having sporadic upper back pain episodes. Three weeks ago i started the worst one I've ever experienced, and I've been in debilitating pain since. Doctors treat me like an addict trying to abuse pain meds, when i don't even want them. I just want a solution. I just finished doing all the stretches in the video, but only a few reps each, and already I'm feeling a ton of relief. I'm going to finish it, and do these stretches every day. Thank you Dr. Rowe! I'd make an appointment to see you if i didn't live so far away.
10:29 I’m thanking the Google gods for giving me this video and saving the day. I was on the floor brushing my dog and pinched a nerve in my upper back so bad I couldn’t take a deep breath. I thought my whole Sunday was ruined. These stretches gave me tremendous relief!! I’ll have to be intentional today but this is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
Omg literally NOTHING was working for me - topical rubs, massagers, heat pads, ice packs, neck collars. THIS WORKED. Thank you thank you thank you thank you
Have had cronic pain near lower point of scapula for 4 years, Thanks to this video I finaly got to understand what exact movement activates the tingling scratchi pain. Please try second to last exercise. It is doing magic for me
Had a pretty intense back workout and when I went to sleep, my right upper back randomly started cramping. Immediately went to TH-cam to search and came across your video. Tried the stretch where neck and arms were hanging on side of the bed for 2 sets- felt the cramp go away right after the first 10 seconds of doing it. You are so valuable to this wold Doc
Thank you so much, Dr. Rowe! Every physician and cardiac physical therapist should know about this and share with their patients. I have intermittent excruciating nerve pain in my upper back, very localized and so painful it hurts to take a deep breath. This is six weeks after open heart surgery and could not find relief until I watched your video, said a little prayer for it to help some and I can't believe the relief I am feeling. Bless you and thank you for sharing your knowledge and compassion. Many thanks, Regina
After many many years of dealing with a pinch nerve pain in my mid back, just doing only the first stretch you showed took away my pain. Genius! Thank you!
I had the same type of thing, a tingly/numb feeling to the right at the bottom of my left shoulder blade. Sometimes it becomes way way sharper of pain after working. @@marklukens273
@@marklukens273I have the same feeling have not been able to make it go away for almost a year I have full body spread pain and my muscles are always tingling and numbness and weak
I have been in pain for so many days. That stretches are so great. They really hit hard on the right spot. Thank you so much doctor. You are a saviour!
Thank you Dr for sharing these exercises! I was in so much pain that i couldn’t even toss and turn in bed! It was hard to get in bed and even harder to get out of bed! The pain was so bad i was having difficulty breathing sometimes. It was like a sharp stabbing pain and with time i was feeling pulsation to the right side of my body and then to the right side of my belly! Pain was 10/10! I did this exercise one morning, and felt so much better already! I was in shock! I did these exercises a second time the next morning and on the 3rd day the pain was completely gone!! On the 3rd day and 4th, i stop doing these workout and it never came back since 🥲 I’ve been pain free for the past 5 days and i was even able to workout today and i still felt good! 🥰 thank you so much! Anyone watching this, just do it! The exercises seems silly but they really do work!
Doc is a wizard! I followed him for years because I did grappling for many years and my body is pretty messed up. All of his videos have helped me so much!
This helped me so much and eased my pain that stopped me from doing any laptop work during the last 5 days. I tried everything else before, hours of yoga during the last couple of days, swimming, steam bath, onsen, other YT videos and this helped more than anything else. Thank you so much!!
I have had pain focused in between my shoulder blades in the top middle of my back all day (exactly in the spots on your illustration which is why I clicked on the video). I've completed all the exercises modelled in the video and although the pain hasn't completely gone out it is almost certainly 75% better and more at a "rumbling in the background" level of pain as opposed to a "it hurts to breathe and I want to cry" level immediately after finishing the exercises. Thank you so much, gratefully from Hertfordshire in the UK.
I’ve had pain that radiates down my left arm for four days and these moves certainly have given me some relief. Gonna keep trying them to get full relief. Thanks so much!!!
You are an absolute life saver I have always been skeptical of these types of videos and they haven’t usually worked but this was instant it took my pain from a 9 to a 5 after the first stretch THANK YOU!
All that I can say is thank you I was in so so much pain this morning due to a stubborn pinch in my my upper left back. I did every move you said and it is not gone yet but much much better I will be using the stretches you taught me day to day now cheers
Thanks for this video, I've been stuck with a pinched nerve for a week now and the first exercise has provided me with instant relief, even if temporary. I'll keep at it and hopefully it helps my nerve pain go away completely. Update the following morning: Simply incredible, the pain is 99% gone today, I can only feel a hint of it a the end of the range of motion when twisting my shoulders around. Thank you so much!
God Bless You! Instant relief. After seeing my MD and two scripts and a visit to massage therapy and nothing...a visit to your video. I am pain free. Wonderfull relief . This is one thankful old lady. God Bless You Dear One.
Thank you so much. Three days of pain, not sleeping, and numbness down my arm. Did one round of each of these stretches today and feel instantly better.
Thank you for your videos. Scoliosis adult here. Braced in highschool. Refused surgery. Thankful for my good days. You’ve helped me relieve impingements and angry spots. Your dedication and clear info. No BS stuff. I think we’d all give you a hug and a real thank you.
Thank you so much! I was in pain for 3 weeks with sharp pain near scapula. I did all the exercises before bed and thought maybe something had changed during the exercises. Went to bed with my electric blanket and woke up next morning without any pain. Seriously! Thank you for this video!
Omg keep doing god’s work! Earlier today i tried to catch something that was about to fall and i think my reflex just led to pinching a nerve in my upper back. Dying of pain and couldn’t move. TH-camd a solution- you came up and after i did 3 reps of the first exercise BOOM back to being mobile. Honestly saved me money and time to head to the GP. Good on ya and much thanks! ❤ 🙏
Omg straight up, these exercises brought me from like a 9 to a 7. Going to keep doing them through the weekend and hopefully only have to call in one day next week 🥲.
You helped me so much. It felt awful and the relief was welcome. Searing pain in my upper back. I was soaked with sweat from the terrible pain and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. All because I bent over wrong. A couple ibuprofen and lots of these exercises helped it subside in about a half hour. You are such a blessing!
I hope this comment benefits you in any sort of way because you are saving me and others hundreds of if not thousands of dollars, which could've been spent on a chiropractor or something. Thank you my brotha, this definitely helped me a lot!!!
I went to a BJJ class the other day and messed up my back. A couple of hours later I was in so much pain that I was nearly in tears. It took me about 30 minutes to get on/out of bed. I did all these exercises for about 2-3 hours + have someone elbow the knot on my back and now my pain level went from 17/10 to maybe 2/10. Thank you so much. I thought I was going to miss my flight and lose over $1,000. You’re a life saver
I have been in pain from past 5-6 hours. I was not able to get up of my bed but then i find your video and i can say thank you from the bottom of my heart you are the best. I was literally in tears after i followed your video it was an instant relief. Thank you for this 😘
Thank you! I've had 3 days of upper back pain. "Thread the needle" reduced the pain massively after one round. I will keep up with it until the pain has gone completely.
I damaged my shoulder in my early 20's stocking furniture. The cartilage in my left shoulder is torn in the front half. Every now and then it hurts quite a lot. Right now I've got so much pain through my neck, upper back and left arm that it's crazy. I tried a bunch of these stretches and they have removed much of the sharpness of that pain. Thanks a million!
I was having so much pain in my shoulder blade which radiated to my elbow. While looking for some exercises I found this video. Followed all the instructions and now I have full relief. Thank you so much Dr Rowe for sharing these valuable videos.❤
I cannot thank you enough for this video. 🙏🏻 I did about 30 minutes of these exercises this morning in pure desperation for relief. Since then, the pain has reduced significantly throughout the day.🥹 I was even able to actually lie down comfortably on my bed without yelling in pain. I’m so grateful, thank you for this video 🤍
Omg you are my saver. Being a student, I've been sufering upper back pain for a couple days because of sitting for studying. And this video really help me recover from my pain. Highly appreciate.
I've literally done the second exercise for 10 seconds and it unpinched my nerve after such a long time. I couldn't even lay on my back because it would hurt to breathe and I've gotten massages plus done yoga.... XD this is the only thing that worked... Tysm 👍☺️ most useful content ever
I have nerve damage behind my right shoulder bldefrom surgery on my hand. These stretches really targeted where I had pain. The explanations were very helpful. I have experienced more relief in this video than other exercises that I have tried. Thank You.
Those shoulder blades really help me. When I stretch to the left and pull my head using my left hand, I hear a popping sound, and the pain disappears. It's wonderful-thank you!
I have been suffering all kinds of back pain for the past two years and I am 19... Sometimes it's so painful I feel like I can't do anything, and everything is a red haze... The last two days, I have been having bad muscle cramps on the left side of my upper back inbetween the shoulders and every time I breathe it feels like a thin sharp needle hurting in the middle of my chest, making it hard to get a satisfying breathe. I got to the point where I was so fed up with it I decided to look up stretches to relieve it and lo and behold this is the first video that came up. After about 20 minutes of doing all of these stretches plus more, the pain is almost completely gone!! Thank you
Thank you! I've had back pain for 3 years, use be cna. And had lower back nerve burned, shots and use lidocaine patches. It all didn't help completely pain still comes goes, but my PM&R doctor over looks my intense upper back pain between my shoulder blades and spine. He says arthritis, but sometimes it hurts more than lower. The first exercise you did. I wad so desperately wanting pain stop this morning, I have stuff get done, normally it would put me on heat pad for day. I've had enough. Don't want go ER, I did thar stretch. I have fibromyalgia too, and my ribs constantly hurt. That stretch help more than anything that doctor did for my pain. Again thank you!
Man! Every time I seek back relief for various pains, I find you! Almost doesn’t feel right that this is free. Thank you for what you do sir, you’ve literally improved my quality of life.
I think u just saved my life Doc!!! I was out of commission for several days & unable to work. Nothing helped my pinched nerve pain (deep tissue massage & various meds) & The local chiropractor couldn't make any adjustments because the shooting nerve pain was too intense. Until last night when I desperately searched for a stretching video and found this one. This morning the pain level is reduced from a 9.5 to id say a 3. Off I go to work!!! God Bless You!!!
@@DrRowe quick question: local chiropractic didn’t want to make an adjustment when I told him the nerve pain was intensified when he started trying to stretch my neck. He said he didn’t want to “aggravate” affected the area which seems counter to your stretching exercises. Does this seem odd or unusual? I’m debating whether to go back to him.
the stretch at 8:54 instantly cured my nerve pain. i can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and skillset w the world, you’re great! this video is a lifesaver!!
Bro You’re a god.. I have been so frustrated with this pinched nerve and my entire right hand being numb constantly and now it’s like almost nonexistent.. it might creep back but at least now I know there’s a way to manage it that’s very effective. I tried other stretches too but this is the ticket.
All I can say is thank you, I’ve been having chronic back pain for the last couple years and it was just greatly exaggerated after starting my new job at a tire distributor, the pain was so sharp these last couple days and after doing these stretches I feel like new again, definitely going to be doing these daily from now on.
I cried last night because the pinch nerves all over my body was unbearable. I tried the first excercise and instantly felt a relief. Thank you so much.🙏
Thanks so much for doing this video. I have had such nerve pain I have felt nauseous. I have been struggling for a week.These stretches worked. My pain was in my shoulder blade and down the inside of my arm. So relieved
Dude it works ! I've had this pinched nerve in my upper back shoulder blade for a week unable to turn my head to the left, go to the gym or sleep just after going through the examples I can turn my head to the left again thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! I haven’t been able to move my neck for 3 days. Had a massage thinking that would help, and it didn’t. This literally fixed the issue within 5 mins. You’re a lifesaver my man! 💪🏽🙏🏽
This is amazing, the first stretch video I’ve ever had results with. My pinched nerve isn’t cured, but it is SOOOO much better, so much more relief. I think with consistent use of these will actually help me
I'm 14 year's old and I tried to help my dad to pickup a couch. I got a pinched nerve on the upper back but I'll try these stretches and hopefully get better
Cool man, glad you feel better! You’re on the right track searching things up. You can do and be anything in life if you learn how to Google and TH-cam things then take the time to actually learn them! :)
@@baileysice2715 ya I mostly felt like something was pinching all of the sudden but I did some stretches and trust it'll help with the pinched nerve. Stretches are Cobra,cat cow, and when you're standing up try to rotate your hips and arms around for your back. Those are some stretches I did daily.
Holy cow!! I have been in moderate pain in my upper back across the shoulders for a number of weeks now. At work I was only able to get in enough time to do the first stretch for about a minute, then the job happened and I instinctively jumped up. Then I realized, I just jumped up! That was enough time to get some relief and some function. I cannot wait to get time at home to apply it more. Thank you Dr.
Thank you, you are excellent. Out of desperation after coming away from the Emergency Department and taking Endone and an anti-inflammatory I couldn't get rid of the thoracic pain. Note I had walked around 2 blocks too and used a hot water bottle on my back. I've got some relief now. I like the fact, that you don't wuffle on and on and on, and you know what you are talking about.
This upper back video and lower back video both has helped me straight after doing itwhile watching these video. Really appreciate it. Keep up the good work mate
So very thankful for this video. I was in constant pain yesterday with every step, every cough (battling a severe head/chest infection). I had initially thought the pain was a result of my right lung dealing with infection until I was able to better determine where the pain was exactly. This determination sadly came from the pain becoming more and more severe. Once I was able see this as a back problem and not an icepick in my lung, lol, I found this video and completed the stretches. Such joyous relief today as a result. Lifesaver! So very much appreciated!!!
hey doc, a student here. thank you for these videos. it helped me release a lot of tension in these areas. wish you more success on your channel and in life.
I'm right leg amputee ABK, and I'm in terrible situations from 6 months .I'm trying different exercises from TH-cam and none of them work, but when im moving and working out my back feels better.If i stop for 3-4 days and the things get worse.. Don't stop moving guys! God will help you at some point!❤
Pinched a nerve in my back today after not working out for a while bc of COVID and trying to get back into it, I was in sooo much pain and this fixed it instantly 🤩 💜
Injured myself again in work. thank you so much for these videos. Last year they helped me get back t work fast. Relieving pain fast. So grateful. (I need a new job)
OhmyGod. I swear on everything I love this guy he is legit! I have a pinched nerve in my upper back/spine and i clicked on this video really hopefull that id find some relief and no joke after doing just his first stretch for about 2 min i have SIGNIFICANT relief, its not 100% gone, but i can tell if i do this a few times a day along with a few of his other demonstrated stretches ill be back at 100% in a few days! Thank you so much man keep up the good work. Definatly subscribing
This video is amazing and really helped me with a pinched nerve right before I’m supposed to play in a golf tournament! Thank you so much for putting this out there for people like me!
I don't normally comment on videos, but you're an exception. Thank🙏🏽 you very much for the video, I was in so much pain suddenly after lifting my bed, even struggling to breathe, you saved me ❤
I find these stretches are a lot better than the other ones. Especially the door stretch. I got immediately relief from doing that one. I wanted to do stretches that doesn't have me on the floor. I also like the one sitting on the chair with the head bending down to the right. My pain is in the left side. I did those stretches and my pain went away in three days. Thank you very much.
I just pinched a nerve under my right shoulder blade, and it is the worst I have ever pinched a nerve. I felt it in the top of my head, down my neck, and behind my shoulder blade. I couldn't turn my head farther than straight forward it was so painful. The first move helped a lot (the variation was not comfortable at all for me. The position hanging off the bed really hurt too. Threading the needle was probably the most relief I had though!
This actually and truly works .. I have a pinched nerve in my upper right back and it’s shooting pain towards my right forearm.. you just have to repeat these exercises a few times and you will feel relief…i thank you so much for this video ❤

I went to a BJJ class the other day and messed up my back. A couple of hours later I was in so much pain that I was nearly in tears. It took me about 30 minutes to get on/out of bed. I did all these exercises for about 2-3 hours + have someone elbow the knot on my back and now my pain level went from 17/10 to maybe 2/10. Thank you so much. I thought I was going to miss my flight and lose over $1,000. You’re a life saver
I have been in pain from past 5-6 hours. I was not able to get up of my bed but then i find your video and i can say thank you from the bottom of my heart you are the best. I was literally in tears after i followed your video it was an instant relief.
Thank you for this 😘
Glad it helped!
Thank you! I've had 3 days of upper back pain. "Thread the needle" reduced the pain massively after one round. I will keep up with it until the pain has gone completely.
I damaged my shoulder in my early 20's stocking furniture. The cartilage in my left shoulder is torn in the front half. Every now and then it hurts quite a lot. Right now I've got so much pain through my neck, upper back and left arm that it's crazy. I tried a bunch of these stretches and they have removed much of the sharpness of that pain. Thanks a million!
Glad to hear you're getting relief, and thanks a million for watching!
Dontvvpain come time not romuched bad is iam kuthya how can played gues see and vido tacked
I was having so much pain in my shoulder blade which radiated to my elbow. While looking for some exercises I found this video. Followed all the instructions and now I have full relief.
Thank you so much Dr Rowe for sharing these valuable videos.❤
Glad it helped!
I cannot thank you enough for this video. 🙏🏻 I did about 30 minutes of these exercises this morning in pure desperation for relief. Since then, the pain has reduced significantly throughout the day.🥹 I was even able to actually lie down comfortably on my bed without yelling in pain. I’m so grateful, thank you for this video 🤍
Omg you are my saver. Being a student, I've been sufering upper back pain for a couple days because of sitting for studying. And this video really help me recover from my pain. Highly appreciate.
Glad you're getting relief, and thanks for watching!
You just saved my life. Thank you so so SO much.
Thanks so much for watching!
I've literally done the second exercise for 10 seconds and it unpinched my nerve after such a long time. I couldn't even lay on my back because it would hurt to breathe and I've gotten massages plus done yoga.... XD this is the only thing that worked... Tysm 👍☺️ most useful content ever
Great to hear you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
These stretches worked like magic!!!!! I was skeptical but was in so much discomfort that I tried them. OMG! Thank you so much!
Great to hear that!
I have nerve damage behind my right shoulder bldefrom surgery on my hand. These stretches really targeted where I had pain. The explanations were very helpful. I have experienced more relief in this video than other exercises that I have tried. Thank You.
I just had a baby and my back has been killing me with this new stage of my life .this video has helped so much with my back pain
Thank you so much.
What a life saver thank u this helps sooooooo much
Those shoulder blades really help me. When I stretch to the left and pull my head using my left hand, I hear a popping sound, and the pain disappears. It's wonderful-thank you!
I have been suffering all kinds of back pain for the past two years and I am 19... Sometimes it's so painful I feel like I can't do anything, and everything is a red haze... The last two days, I have been having bad muscle cramps on the left side of my upper back inbetween the shoulders and every time I breathe it feels like a thin sharp needle hurting in the middle of my chest, making it hard to get a satisfying breathe. I got to the point where I was so fed up with it I decided to look up stretches to relieve it and lo and behold this is the first video that came up. After about 20 minutes of doing all of these stretches plus more, the pain is almost completely gone!! Thank you
Great to hear you're getting quick relief, and thanks for watching!
i have this same pain does it still affect you now?
@@unsweetenedalmondmilk5846 On and off, yes
Thank you! I've had back pain for 3 years, use be cna. And had lower back nerve burned, shots and use lidocaine patches. It all didn't help completely pain still comes goes, but my PM&R doctor over looks my intense upper back pain between my shoulder blades and spine. He says arthritis, but sometimes it hurts more than lower. The first exercise you did. I wad so desperately wanting pain stop this morning, I have stuff get done, normally it would put me on heat pad for day. I've had enough. Don't want go ER, I did thar stretch. I have fibromyalgia too, and my ribs constantly hurt. That stretch help more than anything that doctor did for my pain. Again thank you!
I hope the exercises help you for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
Had a pinched nerve for the past 4 days and this as well as hangs from a pull up bar helped me a lot, thank you
Did you heal?
Again..I'm mentioning you in my prayers❤❤thank you with all my heart
Man! Every time I seek back relief for various pains, I find you! Almost doesn’t feel right that this is free. Thank you for what you do sir, you’ve literally improved my quality of life.
Glad the exercises are helping you and keep at it!
I think u just saved my life Doc!!! I was out of commission for several days & unable to work. Nothing helped my pinched nerve pain (deep tissue massage & various meds) & The local chiropractor couldn't make any adjustments because the shooting nerve pain was too intense.
Until last night when I desperately searched for a stretching video and found this one. This morning the pain level is reduced from a 9.5 to id say a 3. Off I go to work!!! God Bless You!!!
That’s fantastic! Really glad you found the video and are getting a lot of relief.
@@DrRowe
quick question: local chiropractic didn’t want to make an adjustment when I told him the nerve pain was intensified when he started trying to stretch my neck. He said he didn’t want to “aggravate” affected the area which seems counter to your stretching exercises.
Does this seem odd or unusual? I’m debating whether to go back to him.
Thank you! In so much pain for a week...chiro, PT and meds not helping...these stretches gave me some much-needed relief!
the stretch at 8:54 instantly cured my nerve pain. i can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and skillset w the world, you’re great! this video is a lifesaver!!
Fantastic! Glad you found this video and are getting a ton of relief.
I'm having a nerve pain in my left shoulder blade . Will this stretch cure my pain ?

Bro You’re a god.. I have been so frustrated with this pinched nerve and my entire right hand being numb constantly and now it’s like almost nonexistent.. it might creep back but at least now I know there’s a way to manage it that’s very effective. I tried other stretches too but this is the ticket.
Glad it’s helping, and thanks for watching!
Thank you . That was such a good set of stretches. I cry with the gratefulness of the relief of that pain ❤
These brought me from a very intense pinched nerve pain to one I can handle. Am going to do some yoga later on. Thank you so much!
All I can say is thank you, I’ve been having chronic back pain for the last couple years and it was just greatly exaggerated after starting my new job at a tire distributor, the pain was so sharp these last couple days and after doing these stretches I feel like new again, definitely going to be doing these daily from now on.
Glad you found the video and are getting relief!
I cried last night because the pinch nerves all over my body was unbearable.
I tried the first excercise and instantly felt a relief. Thank you so much.🙏
Where all you have pain?
Thank you it worked in 30 seconds. Pain went from 8-1. I’d been suffering for 3 days. Thank you, thank you!
Thanks so much for doing this video. I have had such nerve pain I have felt nauseous. I have been struggling for a week.These stretches worked. My pain was in my shoulder blade and down the inside of my arm. So relieved
Glad you’re getting relief!
Congratulations Dr. Rowe, I'm sure soon this channel will have 2 million subscribers. Thank you.
That would be amazing! Thanks so much for watching.
Dude it works ! I've had this pinched nerve in my upper back shoulder blade for a week unable to turn my head to the left, go to the gym or sleep just after going through the examples I can turn my head to the left again thank you!!!!
Wow I was literally crying with pain and the last 2 minutes really helped ease the pain!! Thank you so much 🙏
Great to heart you’re getting a lot of relief!
Its really?
Hey Doc!! Congrats on 1 Mil!! Well deserved my friend!! 👏🍾🥂💪
Thank you, and thanks a million for watching!
Thank you so much! I haven’t been able to move my neck for 3 days. Had a massage thinking that would help, and it didn’t. This literally fixed the issue within 5 mins. You’re a lifesaver my man! 💪🏽🙏🏽
Glad it helped!
This is amazing, the first stretch video I’ve ever had results with.
My pinched nerve isn’t cured, but it is SOOOO much better, so much more relief. I think with consistent use of these will actually help me
Ive been looking forever for an exersize that targets this area. Thank you it really helped a lot.
Thanks for watching!
HOW!? This INSTANTLY took away my upper spinal nerve pain. The relief is overwhelming thank you.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching too.
I'm 14 year's old and I tried to help my dad to pickup a couch. I got a pinched nerve on the upper back but I'll try these stretches and hopefully get better
Guys I definitely feel better I can finally keep doing exercise and feel more strength and flexibility
Cool man, glad you feel better! You’re on the right track searching things up. You can do and be anything in life if you learn how to Google and TH-cam things then take the time to actually learn them! :)
@@Zhestion hi that's great news. Can l ask did you have any tingling across you back with your injury?
@@baileysice2715 ya I mostly felt like something was pinching all of the sudden but I did some stretches and trust it'll help with the pinched nerve. Stretches are Cobra,cat cow, and when you're standing up try to rotate your hips and arms around for your back. Those are some stretches I did daily.
@@baileysice2715 oh! And try to tippy toe by trying to touch the ceiling. Let me know!
Holy cow!! I have been in moderate pain in my upper back across the shoulders for a number of weeks now. At work I was only able to get in enough time to do the first stretch for about a minute, then the job happened and I instinctively jumped up. Then I realized, I just jumped up! That was enough time to get some relief and some function. I cannot wait to get time at home to apply it more. Thank you Dr.
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Thank you, exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for watching!
To be honest i had no expectations from this video,
I tried the exercise and my pain has gone,
It’s amazing
That's great to hear!

@@DrRowe yep you a right Sir
I found this exercises very useful as these put more pressure on spine.
Thank you, you are excellent. Out of desperation after coming away from the Emergency Department and taking Endone and an anti-inflammatory I couldn't get rid of the thoracic pain. Note I had walked around 2 blocks too and used a hot water bottle on my back. I've got some relief now. I like the fact, that you don't wuffle on and on and on, and you know what you are talking about.
This upper back video and lower back video both has helped me straight after doing itwhile watching these video. Really appreciate it. Keep up the good work mate
Glad the exercises are helping you!
So very thankful for this video.
I was in constant pain yesterday with every step, every cough (battling a severe head/chest infection). I had initially thought the pain was a result of my right lung dealing with infection until I was able to better determine where the pain was exactly. This determination sadly came from the pain becoming more and more severe. Once I was able see this as a back problem and not an icepick in my lung, lol, I found this video and completed the stretches. Such joyous relief today as a result. Lifesaver! So very much appreciated!!!
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
This video helped me so much! Thank you
hey doc, a student here. thank you for these videos. it helped me release a lot of tension in these areas. wish you more success on your channel and in life.

Glad you found the video and it's offering relief, thanks for watching too!
I've also suffered to the point I don't want to live anymore have you gotten better ?
@@jamiepoczyhajlo994 go get an MRI, if the pain is this bad stretching may not help
I'm right leg amputee ABK, and I'm in terrible situations from 6 months .I'm trying different exercises from TH-cam and none of them work, but when im moving and working out my back feels better.If i stop for 3-4 days and the things get worse.. Don't stop moving guys! God will help you at some point!❤

Fantastic! So glad you found this video.
I don't normally comment on videos, but you're an exception. Thank🙏🏽 you very much for the video, I was in so much pain suddenly after lifting my bed, even struggling to breathe, you saved me ❤
Dude I had no idea what to do for my pinched nerve and as a hypochondriac was freaking out. This actually really really helped. Thank you so so much.
Glad it helped!
I find these stretches are a lot better than the other ones. Especially the door stretch. I got immediately relief from doing that one. I wanted to do stretches that doesn't have me on the floor. I also like the one sitting on the chair with the head bending down to the right. My pain is in the left side. I did those stretches and my pain went away in three days. Thank you very much.
Hope the door stretch helps you for a long tome to come!
@@DrRowe Okay. Thank you.☺️
Just subscribed because your videos are the only ones that I keep coming back to and actually work . Thank you
Glad the videos are helping you, and thanks for the sub!
I just pinched a nerve under my right shoulder blade, and it is the worst I have ever pinched a nerve. I felt it in the top of my head, down my neck, and behind my shoulder blade. I couldn't turn my head farther than straight forward it was so painful. The first move helped a lot (the variation was not comfortable at all for me. The position hanging off the bed really hurt too. Threading the needle was probably the most relief I had though!
How are you now
mannnn,this actually works😭😭😭Thank you very much sir.
Glad it's helping you, and thanks for watching!
This actually and truly works .. I have a pinched nerve in my upper right back and it’s shooting pain towards my right forearm.. you just have to repeat these exercises a few times and you will feel relief…i thank you so much for this video ❤
