Life changing! As a sign language interpreter of over 22 years and mostly sitting during Covid working from home (interpreting on my computer from my home office) I ended up having such severe pain in my neck and shoulders, nothing was helping. I even went to a massage therapist almost weekly, sometimes twice a week for 3 years. I thought I was going to have to find a new career. I was having about an 8-9 pain level in my neck and shoulders almost daily on the days I worked. It was affecting my quality of life. I was already stretching and I had completely stopped my work outs using using weights/aerobics because everything I did hurt. I found your video and decided to do this one every day for a month, before pursuing a chiropractor or looking into another line of work... Seriously, that's how horrible the pain was. After the 1st time doing this video, I could feel a noticeable difference. I kept going and did this daily for the full month of December, I was so determined to be pain free, or at least find "some" relief. I have found full relief, and I still do this 2-3x per week, sometimes more, sometimes less, and I do not have any pain anymore. Thank you Miranda (and Sahra) for your videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's so wonderful to hear how much Essentrics helped in bringing you out of what sounds like some awful chronic pain. We all deserve to live pain-free lives ❤️
Thank you Miranda! I too just found your channel. I'm 80 and now working very hard to more than do what my mother's and her 3s sisters did. They all stopped walking in their early 80's and I'm determined that is not going to happen to me! I'm so glad I found you! Thank you!!!
I have done this 3-4 times and the results are phenomenal. I went from constant pain in the shoulder with tingling in my right palm and fingers to 4-5 hours without feeling any symptoms. When I get the symptoms, I can do a few moves no matter where I am. The flow and movement really make it easy to do. Previously, I was doing routine exercises, but anyone who does Yoga will love this flow and breathing. You will notice how “loose” your shoulders feel immediately after the 14 minutes. This teacher has done an incredible service to humanity by making this a free video.
That's amazing! So glad to hear that you enjoyed the workout and that it helped to relieve the pain in your shoulder. We all deserve to live pain free lives 🙌
Finally a workout that I don’t dread, but look forward to doing! I never, ever liked jumping or running or most sports, and certainly wouldn’t sign up for anything like a boot camp that involved someone yelling at me to push harder. I am 60+ and LOVING these sensible workouts.
Miranda you are God sent. I ordered your Season 10 DVDs about 5 years ago and your episode for back pain relief is a miracle! Now I am having terrible neck pain so naturally I went looking for you. Thank you for posting this beautiful, relaxing workout for shoulders and neck. My chiropractor says that without working on the shoulders, you normally cannot relieve neck pain, so I am so grateful to find this. May you have many blessing paid forward for all the good you are doing for others. Love You!
Thank God for allowing me to come across your channel on PBS station yesterday, start following you on TH-cam I've been dealing with my shoulders especially the left shoulder, I've tried thai chi, yoga, pilates since doing your classical stretching exercises feeling 100% better, thank you God bless. I'm 54 yrs. Old
Miranda's program is a must for all people. I was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis and bed ridden back in 2002. After a life style change my healing began. Eating whole real food and beginning magnesium [ReMag] my whole life began again. I began stretching with Classical stretch and wow, my body became me... I am now mobile, bike riding, hiking, dancing and so much more. Faith has also changed my life. To God be the glory
15 yrs ago i started stretching with Miranda Esmonde-White on PBS and i credit her program for improving my flexibility and balance. All your workout are great and I still stretch with you on PBS but now that i found your channel i can stretch with you any time of the day. Thank you for your amazing program.
Hi Miranda. I wanted to tell you that you're my new Best Friend. I'm thrilled that I found you during Isolation. I feel so much better after each workout. Thanks for bringing some peace and health into my home during this crazy 2020.
O my god!! I shreiked when this was over (in a good way). It feels so good! I'm moving this up to the top of my workout list. I just turned 67 and I need to get into better shape so I can get back out and do some serious hiking! Thanks for this wonderful workout!! iliotibial is next! :)
57 when u was working I did move too fast in laundry to get my work done for the day. I kept getting injured. My neck down to my feet. Now I am not working. Seeing a PT again. So happy to see this video in Utube. Thank you. I have missed exercising with you on ch. 7.
Dear Miranda, I have been following you for years. When my Mom had her knee replacement, she gave me your very first CD. I exercised to it for years then lost my way. The other day my spirit told me to turn on the TV. It was PBS, public television. There you were! I am so very proud of you and how far you have come. You are an amazing woman and teacher. I told a gentleman about you today! God Bless YOU Sweet Miranda!!!
Miranda, you're a gem! Still recovering from a 2-years-ago ruptured shoulder, started doing these exercises last week and already it feels more relaxed and isn't causing muscular tension headaches. I am SO grateful!
I woke up too early and turned on tv for sound, just happened to find this workout and became intrigued. Looked it up online and foudn this particular workout and tried it as I've had shoulder discomfort for a number of months. I cannot believe how very good these areas feel now. Thank you SO very much. And, as I'm growing in life, I find the truism that you said that I don't have to force it to be strong so true. Love this.
After breaking my distal radius I am looking forward to starting this once I'm in therapy . And making a life practice of your whole series. Thank you.
My shoulder has been killing me for 2 weeks. I did this video and have been pain free for 5 hours and counting!!! She is amazing. Thank you for saving me a trip to the doctor!
That's amazing! So glad it was supportive ❤️ find an entire collection of shoulder workouts on our streaming service, Essentrics TV, here: www.essentricstv.com/shoulders-2
Thank you so much for this video! After working out that my loss of shoulder mobility was due to peri-menopause, I found your video and have been doing it nearly every day for the last three weeks. My range of motion has greatly increased and I’m not feeling so weak anymore. Thank you!
Miranda, u r back! So glad. You have helped so many of us stay healthy. When I had cable I followed your classes everyday. We I started streaming, I couldn’t find you. So excited.
I have an old shoulder injury that was flaring up and i did this workout once and the pain went almost entirely away. I am so amazed and will continue to do this regularly. Thank you beyond words for this workout. It's the first time in about two months my shoulder and neck is not in pain.
Thank you Miranda so much I do your work outs every day sometimes as my main work out and I feel amazing no pain I was doing it all wrong I will keep you in my prayers for your health. Again thank you so much love your connective tissue work out I burn 150 calories almost as much as a hard work out
Sharing this with my co-workers who are working from home. I encourage so many to tune into PBS and do Classical Stretch and have purchased several of your DVDs. Such a wonderful feel great, stay in shape workout.
I was having significant amount of upper back/neck pain due to chronic poor posture as a result of a lot of time in front of the computer. I've tried physical therapy and it didn't help. I'm so glad I discovered these exercises. They have helped relieve my pain significantly in just a few days, and I do them everyday to help keep the pain away. I love the gentle, slow and relaxing pace of these exercises. She shares some great tips that I can relate to also: now that I have more mobility / less stiffness in my shoulders/upper back, there is less pain!
Thank you so much, my back spasmed the other day due to tight hip flexors, I have done 2 different stretches with you today and can walk almost normal!
THANK YOU MIRANDA! I have such tight muscles in my neck, and have had for years, but this routine is helping. I often catch myself with my shoulders scrunched up towards my ears, but having done this routine several times I am instead catching myself with relaxed shoulders! That is absolutely foreign to me after so many years of storing stress in my neck muscles. Please post more for the neck muscles.
Thank you for this video. Definitely feel more mobility in my left shoulder. I try to watch you on PBS when I can here in SC in the late afternoon. Show wasn t on today so found this video.
OMG. This is exactly what I needed. I was about to go to the chiropractor, but this was gentle and eased out some knots I had in the left shoulder! Wow! Thank you :)
This is awesome. I have tendonitis in my shoulder area. My doctor suggested some physical movement in combo with icing it at night. I will def. be doing this video on a reg. Thanks so much :)
This is a great workout. As a former MMA fighter, I have two dislocated shoulders and experience tightness and soreness very often. I found this exercise greatly reduces the pain and stiffness in my shoulders. I now incorporate it into my regular daily routine. After 16 years of training & competing, I thought I knew my body. It is great to learn something new. Thank you.
I agree so happy to see you again are used to watch you in the mornings on PBS but when they took it off my cable I was very disappointed and couldn’t find any of your classes thank you
Oh. I have been sitting to much. On oxygen making exercise difficult. I have pain everywhere’s some in the shoulders very sharp. I a was loosing range of motion but this helps. Some of it I sit and do. Essentrics is amazing!
What a wonderful 14 minutes. I didn't think I could do this after my stroke. Painful rotator cuff, but I used your method to gradually gain height and when I felt that stabbing pain, I lowered my arm. Thank you so much.
Hi Miranda I’m so happy to find you on your TH-cam channel I am a teacher at home conducting e-learning and being on the computer and sitting in front of a screen has been difficult the past three days you are incredible thank you
I'm so grateful Miranda; this workout, like the one for hips has saved me so many times. If I do every day it really feels like aging backwards, every other day is what I'm usually able to do.🌹☀️🙏
i'm feeling my qi cong movements and long-ago ballet in your sequences! very rewarding for me to exercise with u like this! thanku for your time and giving.
Oh my was that heaven on earth! Thank you so much for the gift of movement and your knowledge💗 I will be coming back to this often and recommending it to others😌
thank you so much- lovely for chronic pain. I am a fitness trainer and it is a slippery slope between working out smart and not overdoing. One extra bench press can throw me out of whack---

I love this woman and her approach to health . So satisfying
I'm speechless and limp after this practice. And that's a good thing. Oh, pain-free and feeling happy, too. Big thanks, Miranda.
Finally a workout that I don’t dread, but look forward to doing! I never, ever liked jumping or running or most sports, and certainly wouldn’t sign up for anything like a boot camp that involved someone yelling at me to push harder. I am 60+ and LOVING these sensible workouts.
I’ve had frozen shoulder, rotator cuff, impingement off and on for a long time. Theses exercises and stretches have worked miracles for me.
Miranda, thanks for changing my life! I am 73 and I feel great because of you and your efforts.

Your shoulders are currently dislocated? 😲 I'm glad to hear it's helping. Gives me hope as a former powerlifter.
This made me feel better immediately! I've done/taught yoga for 20 years and am pretty picky about my classes, and this one is 100% great :D
Thank you, Miranda. This is very helpful during these stressful days. I’m a monthly Classical Stretch streaming subscriber.
I agree so happy to see you again are used to watch you in the mornings on PBS but when they took it off my cable I was very disappointed and couldn’t find any of your classes thank you
