A great way to slowly ease into exercises to stretch and strengthen your neck cervical disc herniation .Here is the Gentle Progression with the elastic band, after at least a week of daily exercises. th-cam.com/video/4NRoqFzmyPI/w-d-xo.html Have a great and healthier you!
suggestion: please move slower and hold the positions at start and end so we can have a better look at the proper form of these exercises + repeated movements, thank you
For the longest time.. I didn't know what was wrong with me. ER sending me home with anti-depressants while my left arm is going numb with extreme chest pains. I diagnosed myself after sitting and waiting to have a chiropractor look at me. The chart on the wall pointed straight to the nerve and muscles that were getting numb. It was like a lightning bolt from god telling me "hey buddy you'll be ok..now it's time to work on this C7"... after 20 years of not knowing what's wrong with me I finally have some help from gifted people like Annie. She is not the first to help me and probably not the last. I have learned more here and I thank you so much for equipping me even more with the skills you provide. I will beat this. like,sub,hugggs!!
I recommend everyone to follow her program and her exercise she is amazing, I live in London and I was In deep pain with slipped disc but since I followed her program I am pain free now 90%heal so far, thank you so much🙏🙏🙏
Annie, you saved me!! With c6/c7, amazing, can't thank you enough ❤️ 6months,and then having found you, next 3 months, I was rehabilitated..because of you, live you and recommended you to so many people. You are the best
Thank you. I’ve suffered with a C6/7 left focal protrusion for around 15 years now, and this is by far the best set of comprehensive exercises I’ve ever seen. The NHS originally sent me home with just 3 neck stretch exercises to do, which whilst helping, aren’t enough when flare ups occur. Thank you so much. I feel at ease already.
I’ve been told if it gets continually worse then, yes. However, regular exercise and movement like this has prevented me from feeling the need to get surgery. The operation is quite invasive, leaving a slashed scar across the front of the neck, so would only consider it if desperate.
I saw a video for my cause (C5 and C6 at 18yrs) now I realise there were so many flaws in that video. Thanks for more detail you just made my future safer for a time maybe forever.......
I m in Malaysia. This exercise helped stop my tingling. Before this exercise, I i did chin tuck, neck strengthening and neck strengthening for 2 months. Tq so much.
I've herniated my disk below C7 six months after a C5-6 and C6-7 fusion. I did have an MRI as recommended to verify that I can rehab it,]. This video is exactly what I was looking for - thank you!
Hi Annie thank you for sharing your knowledge in helping myself and others. The only exercise that causes me discomfort is the chin tuck towards the aggravated side. All the others feel good to do. I have a curvical spine MRI appointment soon so hopefully it'll confirm what my chiropractor and doctors believe to be a C6/7 disk/neck pain. 5 weeks and counting so hopefully I'll start to recover as the weeks go by. Thanks again
Hi Annie, I have had a bulging disc (c6-c7) for 1 year and 7 months. I wanted to ask if I should do these same exercises? If i shouldn't, please can you make a video on it. I have tried everything. Thank you
A great combination of exercises. Highly recommend this routine to start or end your day. Also, for those with major weakness in the neck or core muscles, I would recommend taking her advice on sticking to the gliding and stretching for 7-10 days before moving into any strengthening exercises. It can really help make sure you have proper mobility, which will insure you engage and strengthen the muscles correctly and prevent weeks of recovery from potential injury.
Best recommendations by a mile. Emphasising to take things slow is so important... and patience. Forget "fix nerve pain straightway" videos. Click bait.

Thank you for the video, I have felt relief already. Do you have a recommendation for how often/times per day these exercises should be done? Would a morning, afternoon, evening routine be too much? Thank you again!
Hi, thank you very much for sharing ❤️ A well thought out set of exercises with nice explanation. Some of them coincide with my current therapy but together these seem more complete. For me, especially the nerve gliding feels really efficient. Will continue with these for a week. Wish all of you guys good health ✌️ cheers

Thank you so much for this explanation. i have nerve pinch on c6-c7. over last two months i have been studying like a medical student. The pain is not much but the way it affects day to day life is simply horrible. i am planning for a long physiotherapy session since i work in IT. i hope they are as good as you.
i like this idea sissy with the scarf it makes sense i will do this technique if i will get neck pain too. thank u for showing this wonderful technique
Hi Annie. My first disc herniation was back in 2008. Since then I've re-herniated it twice. The last time was from a fall in Oct/22. I've been in severe pain every day since, to be exact, over 7 months of suffering. It was trying to heal in early may until I started coughing hard and made it worse. I'm doing all sorts of exercises and isometrics. I've seen a massage therapist with little results and am now seeing a Chiropractor and am on my 2nd visit this June/23. I spoke to a neurosurgeon who after seeing my MRI results admits it's bad but sadly he won't operate. Thank you for sharing, I'm not a quitter.
I'm suffering from pain due to pinched nerve from past 2 months and I have tried various treatment and none of them seem to be working. Your comment gives me strength to keep trying.
You are Very Welcome , if you need further Assistance si Will be re-opening MY class soon www.backmasterclass.com/general-opt-in1593164696831 hope to see you in my upcoming course
I had cervical fusion surgery in 2017 on my c5/c6. Now 6/7 is starting to bother me. This has been a huge help especially the nerve flossing. Been trying to find that stuff for years
Hello Annie, thank you for this really great video. My problem is in my C3-C4 but I think this helps too. Will you make a video about C3-C4 or is it the same?
Can't find the rest of the exercises for the neck :( in the playlist where to find them? ... This video is really relaxing and it's great. Thank you for your help!!
Hi, happy to have found your videos! My MRI radiologist report says C6-C7 1 mm central disc protrusion indents the anterior thecal sac. Im trying to understand in lamens terms where the herniation would be coming out of and what positions would be helpful from your video and what I should avoid? Thanks!!
Count down from cervical (neck) base of spine. C5 is breathing and near where shoulders join. C6 and C7 are the joints below, right before thoracic (chest) spine starts. Anterior is fancy for "front", so sounds like your disc is pushing forward.
@@Ur2ez4me81 do you know what it was? I have 2 herinated discs. Wondering if whatever you did would help me. Glad you're out of pain! It's a miserable place to be.
My MRI revealed a Bulging disc causing severe narrowing of left side which explains my arm pain and forearm pain. Been ongoing for about 4 weeks. See doctor Friday, but for some reason Chin Tucks really cause my forearm to hurt. I just can't do those. Thee other one's feel like great relief but chin tucks hurt too much in my forearm when i do them. Nerve gets more compressed.
@@ecinaz better but probably at like 90%. Sometimes 95%. I do some Pilates see a therapist that does cupping and deep almost painful message of my scapula and trap. No numbness anymore. I am not sure I’ll ever be able to push my body hard again without dealing with soreness from trap down to my forearm again. I can bike I can weight lift I can do rowing machine. I just have to be careful how I sleep. Which side and careful with doing stuff without warming up. I do like 20 min of upper body Pilates and movements before doing golf or weight lifting. Even then still feel it’s there. It’s just not painful. I’m going to be 43 in April. I’ve beat up my body as a gym rat for 25 years. I’ve learned to deal with it. It doesn’t effect my daily life like it did back from June through August.
@@danielarreola7717 Thanks for the reply. Glad you're doing well. I'm older than you at 53 yo, but still in decent shape. When you say that you can 'still feel that it's there', but no pain - do you mean that you have aching? At the ten month mark now, I don't have pain in my left arm anymore, but I do have a numb left index finger and low grade chronic aching in my shoulder/neck. I had a cervical epidural injection back in June which didn't do much. I took gabapentin for 3 months which really helped, but I stopped taking it in Sept. I bought a 'saunders' traction unit which I think has helped me the most. I saw an orthopedic surgeon in July who offered me acdf surgery. I recently scheduled acdf surgery for January 6. I met with a PA at a neurosurgeons office yesterday for a 2nd opinion. She reviewed my 7 month old MRI, and agreed that my herniation was severe. She basically told me the same thing that the surgeon did = 'live with it, or have surgery', and encouraged me to try PT again. I'm conflicted about having surgery, but I don't want to live with chronic aching either. Everyone is different, but it sounds like maybe your disc wasn't as badly herniated as mine. From what I've researched, 85% of disc bulges/herniations resolve within 3-4 months. Sounds like you're doing great at 4 months. At my 4 month mark, I was still in terrible pain trying to go to PT which was not helpful. I wish you the best. I know its not an easy thing to deal with. Cheers. EC
@@ecinaz I seen two orthopedics in July and then in august. I was already improving but still in discomfort. Both told me mine was too minor for surgery and they were 90% sure my symptoms would resolve. I probably didn’t rest it enough and got back to golf in August even at 80%. Stopped playing golf at end of September due to I always take October November and December off anyway. I noticed with therapy on and off stretches and no golf swing it improved a lot. Yes I have ache but not in arm. In my Terras minor major and rhomboid scapula. It just aches slightly. Some days not really at all. I find strengthening the area actually doing dumbell rows thread the needle stretches and opening up my upper back with more stretches really helps. I’ve taken no medication. No numbness anymore. Although I do feel if I pushed it hard I would end up sore enough to cause numbness especially in my pinky finger and ring. My big issue was the forearm tightness. Did you have the forearm top of forearm so top of arm pain or ache? That to me was biggest discomfort for me. I haven’t had that in at least 6 weeks now. It used to hurt so bad even to look up or wash my hair. Now no pain when doing that. I’m going to live with it unless it becomes so bad that the numbness and ache is bad whether I do activity or not. I’m not sure how bad yours is but if you can give it some time still and avoid surgery I would consider. My buddy who was a pro hockey player said it took 10 months to be where it never bothered him anymore. He followed same as me. Stretches strength and mobility. Good luck.
@@danielarreola7717 Sounds like you have a good workout regimen. No, I didn't have forearm pain specifically, just general pain down the arm for the first 4 months or so. Maybe I will reconsider having surgery, considering that I am healing, albeit slowly. It sounds like you'll definitely make a full recovery. Thanks again for the reply. Best of luck. EC
I had a accident from a 45kg light fall on my head from 5 meters high, I broke my c7 vertebrae but the also found on my mri scan that I also got a imprigment on c5/6 vertebrae, would this be from the trauma I had involving my accident? Thanks

Hello,My MRi result says degenerative c5/6 & c6/7 disc protruding posteriorly mildly indenting the theca.and have gat bad headache.please advice me to do your exercise thanks
The doctors said I have a protrusion on c6-7 and I have to wait 6 weeks to now sit with the doctor to do over details. **Anyone have dizziness and light head was symptoms. That’s all mine have been for now 5 months. It has gotten better since I started cranial sacral therapy and manual therapy but I’m not fully healed. Do my symptoms mean that the budge is towards the spine? I’ve heard people going to a chiropractor but I’m scared to do that because it’s so aggressive.
Hello Madam. Is this exercise also good for the numbing/tingling arm and hand, shoulder blade pain and shoulder pain? I have a mild C5,6,7 disc bulge in my MRI. My neurologist said just a while ago that I am now normal but I need only an active physiotherapist. Please help, thanks a lot.
Hi can you please explain this to me? At C6-7, there is a further broad-based disc osteophyte bar with minor narrowing of the rightsided exit foramen and moderate encroachment upon the left-sided C7 exit foramen.
I was diagnosed with the following. Will this exercise help? At C4-5, there is a broad-based central disc protrusion impinging the ventral thecal sac. No spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis. At C5-6 and C6-7, there are mild disc bulges flattening the ventral thecal sac. No spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis

This is exactly what I’m going through and have been for 2 years now. The top of my forearm on my left arm is completely numb to the touch all the way down to my pointer finger. I’m used to it now but for a few months it felt like I had my finger completely wrapped up.
Hello I really don't know who to ask and I'm really concerned about my dad's health with his spine which has been degrading, my dad has been in really bad accidents and has been hit by cars on his bike 3-4 times severely in the last 15 years, his C6-C7 MRI scan shows that nerves are pushing in on this area pinching and compressing them, he has severe pain everyday like he's in real agony, every Neurosurgeon says he need private insurance to get surgery which he can't afford, and the public hospital tells him that he has to wait 12 months to be seen, he says that he won't last that long with the pain he has, he's on painkillers but they do nothing and everytime we call an ambulance they just send him home with painkillers, he does exercises on the neck and back to see if any relief will come from them but has no luck, what do you recommend he should do, will these exercises help, I'm really worried about him and no professional doctor seems to care and been on strong pain medication for that long could ruin his kidneys and liver.
Before watching I saw the scarf and said to my self is she cold haha. But I see you’re using it for this exercise. This is new you’re using a accessory.

@@danielarreola7717 Thanks for the reply. Glad you're doing well. I'm older than you at 53 yo, but still in decent shape. When you say that you can 'still feel that it's there', but no pain - do you mean that you have aching? At the ten month mark now, I don't have pain in my left arm anymore, but I do have a numb left index finger and low grade chronic aching in my shoulder/neck. I had a cervical epidural injection back in June which didn't do much. I took gabapentin for 3 months which really helped, but I stopped taking it in Sept. I bought a 'saunders' traction unit which I think has helped me the most. I saw an orthopedic surgeon in July who offered me acdf surgery. I recently scheduled acdf surgery for January 6. I met with a PA at a neurosurgeons office yesterday for a 2nd opinion. She reviewed my 7 month old MRI, and agreed that my herniation was severe. She basically told me the same thing that the surgeon did = 'live with it, or have surgery', and encouraged me to try PT again. I'm conflicted about having surgery, but I don't want to live with chronic aching either. Everyone is different, but it sounds like maybe your disc wasn't as badly herniated as mine. From what I've researched, 85% of disc bulges/herniations resolve within 3-4 months. Sounds like you're doing great at 4 months. At my 4 month mark, I was still in terrible pain trying to go to PT which was not helpful. I wish you the best. I know its not an easy thing to deal with. Cheers. EC
@@ecinaz I seen two orthopedics in July and then in august. I was already improving but still in discomfort. Both told me mine was too minor for surgery and they were 90% sure my symptoms would resolve. I probably didn’t rest it enough and got back to golf in August even at 80%. Stopped playing golf at end of September due to I always take October November and December off anyway. I noticed with therapy on and off stretches and no golf swing it improved a lot. Yes I have ache but not in arm. In my Terras minor major and rhomboid scapula. It just aches slightly. Some days not really at all. I find strengthening the area actually doing dumbell rows thread the needle stretches and opening up my upper back with more stretches really helps. I’ve taken no medication. No numbness anymore. Although I do feel if I pushed it hard I would end up sore enough to cause numbness especially in my pinky finger and ring. My big issue was the forearm tightness. Did you have the forearm top of forearm so top of arm pain or ache? That to me was biggest discomfort for me. I haven’t had that in at least 6 weeks now. It used to hurt so bad even to look up or wash my hair. Now no pain when doing that. I’m going to live with it unless it becomes so bad that the numbness and ache is bad whether I do activity or not. I’m not sure how bad yours is but if you can give it some time still and avoid surgery I would consider. My buddy who was a pro hockey player said it took 10 months to be where it never bothered him anymore. He followed same as me. Stretches strength and mobility. Good luck.
@@danielarreola7717 Sounds like you have a good workout regimen. No, I didn't have forearm pain specifically, just general pain down the arm for the first 4 months or so. Maybe I will reconsider having surgery, considering that I am healing, albeit slowly. It sounds like you'll definitely make a full recovery. Thanks again for the reply. Best of luck. EC

Hi can you please explain this to me?
At C6-7, there is a further broad-based disc osteophyte bar with minor narrowing of the rightsided exit foramen and moderate encroachment upon the left-sided C7 exit foramen.
I was diagnosed with the following. Will this exercise help?
At C4-5, there is a broad-based central disc protrusion impinging the ventral thecal sac. No spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis.
At C5-6 and C6-7, there are mild disc bulges flattening the ventral thecal sac. No spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis

This is exactly what I’m going through and have been for 2 years now. The top of my forearm on my left arm is completely numb to the touch all the way down to my pointer finger. I’m used to it now but for a few months it felt like I had my finger completely wrapped up.
Hello I really don't know who to ask and I'm really concerned about my dad's health with his spine which has been degrading, my dad has been in really bad accidents and has been hit by cars on his bike 3-4 times severely in the last 15 years, his C6-C7 MRI scan shows that nerves are pushing in on this area pinching and compressing them, he has severe pain everyday like he's in real agony, every Neurosurgeon says he need private insurance to get surgery which he can't afford, and the public hospital tells him that he has to wait 12 months to be seen, he says that he won't last that long with the pain he has, he's on painkillers but they do nothing and everytime we call an ambulance they just send him home with painkillers, he does exercises on the neck and back to see if any relief will come from them but has no luck, what do you recommend he should do, will these exercises help, I'm really worried about him and no professional doctor seems to care and been on strong pain medication for that long could ruin his kidneys and liver.
