@@WVgrl59It hasn’t got to do with how many people follow this man It is to do with helping people know about some of these amazing techniques that could help people who have tried some many techniques with no relief!!
I can't believe I found this. I have been almost unable to drive because of panic attacks. Whenever there was any traffic or a stop light, I would have a spike in anxiety. It was horrible. I only did these stretches a few times and went driving today as if it was nothing. Thank you so, so much. I could cry right now. I thought I needed drugs and intense therapy for my anxiety and now it has gone away like a puff of smoke. Thank you for all that you do. 💛
Ty! Crazy how , even if we do not hv the education, our bodies want to heal. I've been doing these type motions thru my 2yr healing journey, not knowing why!. Tysm Doc for explaining the science for me and confirming that I was giving my body what it wanted all along.
More than over 20 years pain in my jaw and face. Never a good feeling in that spot. A long long road to find healing. I am glad I found your video. Wil try and do my best..... Thanks.
Thank you so much sir. I am in so much pain. Ever since i took birth control 10 years ago, I get horrible back and neck pain every month a week before my period Its been horrible and my muscles get sooooo tight. I truly think this is helping me. Doctors always just tried to put me on meds. This is so much more helpful. May God bless your life.
Gosh you're an incredible teacher. The graphics and very clear, pithy description and instruction are top notch. I still refer to your Big Six and do it often. You're a real treasure. I very much appreciate you. As someone else mentioned, you are genuine and not egotistical. Thank you😊
I am so grateful that god has led me to you Dr Perry. I starting watching all your videos and you are now becomig my favorite doctor. I have inflammation all over my body and started implementing what i learned from you. Vison problems, headaches i think its due to candida. I have seen so many doctors including neurologist who i feel should know this and none of them were helpful. Thank you thank you thank you.
This video has to be divine intervention!!! Had whiplash in 2012....having alot of pain issues now with my neck, shoulders, fingers, and back. Think this is exactly what I need!!! Will look at your other podcasts as well. Thank you!!! 😊
Same! I've been dealing with sacral pain for 3 weeks and just the past few days, cervical pain and severe stiffness. Woke up to this notification and doing the exercises immediately brought a little relief!
Looking down at phone (or books or anything) causes so much pain when done too often or for too long. One side worse than another and just doing this one time released it!! The pain reduced so much it was amazing. Thank you thank you! Will take your wise advice re not doing more than 3x's and letting area recover for however long thar takes. Overdoing anything re my neck will always result in more pain. So grateful I happened upon your channel. Now I just need to do all the work!!! God bless you and thank you again.
You are so incredible! I think I told you before that I have a degenerative eye disease which causes eye flashes, vision, loss, and general muscle weakness around my eyes. I have been doing the tongue exercises and the eye flashes have diminished, and I feel like my eyes are even clearer. It would be so helpful for me if you could use more descriptive terms when talking about the exercises. I know this is difficult for light dependent people, but it would greatly help people who are vision impaired to understand the exercises. I don’t want to miss anything at all. I have a good knowledge of anatomy so usually I can pick up what you were talking about but I know a lot of people that would not be able to understand what you were talking about. I would like to share this with others who are blind, because People with vision impairments, have a tendency to have a head forward posture. You are the best! 32:49
You're abdolutely the best. I am a MD and also a liscenced acupuncturist, I work with patients with pain a lot and I share the link of your videos with the ones who knows English... I WANNA THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART🙏💙
Pull back on your occip bump, with your tongue on the roof of your mouth and breath at the same time...that's alot😂 I think for us that have been stuck in fight forever that's a tall order and absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for this, You are the BEST! ❤
Best gratitude vibes to you. Thank you for caring and sharing. It just feels good that someone cares. Super informative and I feel stronger just trying this out.💫
I just did the exercises and almost instantly bursted into tears and laughing due to the immense pressure accumulated over so many years. God bless you doc! You got a new subscriber here❤
I highly suggest all those trying the neck stretches to do just the amount he suggests. There is a reason he emphasizes not doing more. I foolishly did like 5 more than he suggested going each way...and now 2 days later my neck muscles are still aching.
Dude going to binge watch your videos. Got a disc bulge between c2 and c3. Been trying to fix scoliosis. I have been searching for you for so long. Thank you for making these! I work our my neck, but these video's going to help me get to the next level. I am excited to learn from you.
Great, that makes a whole lot of difference in the front of my neck. Yesterday, doing some so called face yoga exercises, I was thinking about how to get my jowls under control. I felt with my fingers along my jawline to feel where the muscles are and noticed that it's just where these jowls form there are hardly any muscles! But there are muscles in the chin!! and with trying them I noticed that the only way to get them working is to growl like an animal🐯. Ha that's exactly what we decent people are not doing. And now your video pops up, and I see you growling... I'm going to do that, see if it improves my jaw line too. And close the mouth, put the tong up, exercise the tong, pull the tong, and not stick the head forwards ...lots of new exersices and things to think about! 😅❤
You are right, Doc! I DID 5 EACH OF THOSE EXERCISES AND WAS SO STIFF FOR 5 DAYS THAT I COULDN'T EVEN THINK OF DOING THEM AGAIN! However, now knowing the benefits...Im only doing 3 today since i don't want to be so stiff this time! Also, since you have so many subscribers would you please limit adds to the beginning and end... there are way too many & it interrupts the learning process Thank you! ❤
Every morning I feel nauseated. Everyday I’m have pain in the right side of my neck when I wake up the pain is worse. I developed panic attacks that caused me to have breathing issues and 1 months later had made me have esophagus spasms followed by anxiety on daily. I believe this is my vagus nerve and this was caused by gamer neck and just bad posture for 35 years. I need help.
I can already tell from a minute into this video that it's exactly what I've been looking for. I can clench the hell out of this muscle and I've been looking for info on how to work with it for a few years now. Cheers!!! 🙏
Stumbled upon this 2 days ago. Thought it looked silly, but I tried it, because the info made sense. Uh….. I’m still sore! Must have been something I needed. Will incorporate regularly going forward.
That was BRILLIANT! All of it...the Perfect to the point info...& the demo & tips! I could feel it ALL the way down my spine... Ive got a cold atm... & Im Sure I can See better Now...& my nose is clearer....Thanks! 🌟🙏🌈🙏🌟 Going to send it to my folks....Everyone needs to be doing this!🎉🧚♀️🎉
I i asked God before I fell asleep to lead me into finding information on the internet to help me get rid of neck pain and I found your videos. Thank you very much.
Wow! I'm already sore, but I'm also not in as much upper back/ neck pain. Thank you so much!!! 🙏 I don't care what I look like, as long as it makes me feel better!!
Excellent presentation and i admire your simplification fo complex concepts to make this engaging and practical. I teach QI Gong and some people,especially since there are so many non scientists who want evidence, you offer both which inspire the text necks from paralysis of analysis. No excuses, nothing works until you do it. Gracias
I presently have whiplash, more marked on the left than on the right, and was looking for something to help. Excellent explanation of why this is simple but powerful not just for whiplash, but for balancing our nervous system as well.
I just found you. You’re awesome! Thank you for this video. My neck is trashed and this is kinda what I do but your way is expanded from what I do now. Seriously, thank you! 😁✌️
@@stopchasingpain I’m just trying to stave off surgery for my neck and lumbar for a while longer. I wish for better technology than fusion. It’s out there but not main stream in the USA without loads of cash.
Wow! Love this channel and this information. I think these exercises will help with my tmj and I'm thinking about how I can further incorporate this knowledge into my massage practice. Gonna take your online course soon as I have the money!
Forward isn’t the issue but hinging is. It just looks like it’s forward but in reality it’s hinging the neck which makes it go forward. Fix the root issue: awareness
Another banger from the doc! It never occurred to me how neglectful it is to completely ignore an entire facet of the nervous systems. The idea of having any "untrained" muscles is silly! Edit: What are your thoughts on jaw exercises despite crepitus at the jawline? referring to the finger in the ear test, I heard another doc mention avoiding repetitive jaw motions that are typical of jaw strengthening techniques.
Thank you very much. Jaw exercises are like exercises for any other part of the body. One exercise can help one person. The same exercise can make another one worse. They are all highly individual
Doctor-I have had eye-twitching lately which I’ve attributed to stress. Which of your exercises would help best with that. I’ve done three of the exercises you just taught and the relief I feel from my jaw to my butt bone to my legs. It’s amazing. Please let me know if there is something I can try. Thank you so much.
I’m going to start these today. The past month I’ve had an issue with tightness in my neck and upper back muscles but then it was causing some discomfort and pain to my left shoulder my left elbow and now my index finger on my left hand is almost numb, tingly like it’s going to fall asleep, and sometimes my arm is like that too. I go to a very good chiropractor, but he has been unable to help me fix this yet, it’s really bothering me to have the numbness and tingly feeling. I was following along and took my chin down to my right shoulder, made the face and brought it up diagonally to the left and when I got up to the top, it didn’t cause pain, but it triggered that tingly falling asleep feeling in my left arm. Obviously that’s something but I’m not sure, what’s happening. Thank you for these exercises.
Hey, great information and great work, thank you. As a health care provider myself I wonder if your exercises (big 6..)can help now cancerfree patients that had a lateral or even full neck dissection? I have seen patients , some in their 30s and 40s that had lymphatic nodes removed from their jaw angle, parts of the platysma removed, other patients with full neck dissections with non functional platysma, all surgical accessible lymphatic nodes taken out. Since you emphasize the importance of the lymphatic drainage of the neck, are they doomed to end up with neurodegenerative disease or can the body restore lymphatic vessels after removal of lymphatic nodes?
I can speak from my own personal experience after having thyroid cancer 20 years ago and my entire thyroid removed and a significant amount of my lymph nodes in the neck removed. Lymph work may be extremely beneficial and is absolutely necessary in my clinical opinion. It's one reason I teach our Lymph Mojo Program
So these muscle exercises might cause a migraine for those with sensitive brains ... Correct !? I also was wondering.. do you have anything on occipital neuralgia and how to prevent further occipital nerve damage I'm dealing with 4 different types of migraines and headaches... A lot of head trauma from abuse in childhood... Combined with terrible body mechanics which I was never aware of until I became a massage therapist !
@@stopchasingpain ~ This exercise and parts of the explanation came in handy TODAY ALREADY for not one BUT TWO of my massage clients ~ WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO
@@stopchasingpainoh wow right I thought it was stretching out the platysma - that’s what I was looking for as I’ve noticed it getting tighter due to other exercises I’m doing. Not the right exercise for me obviously!
I did try the first 3 exercises, but felt my jaw shift too far when attempting anything to my right side. I have had fewer TMJ surgeries or arthroscopy on my right. It doesn't have a thick layer of scar tissue holding things more or less in place, like my left. I have noticed that the large muscle you spoke of is significantly weaker on the left than the right. It is sore after having followed you on the video. I would like to continue with the exercises, but I am concerned since I sublux so easily to the right with my jaw. Can you give me a certain measurement that would be o.k. for a deviation? This way I could measure my current deviation and find a safe distance not to cross. I hope I am not asking too much. As an aside, I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. For those reading this post who are not familiar, I have a connective tissue disorder that affects the collagen in my body, which means that my bones pop out of place easily, I am super flexible (but get hurt and bruise easily), and my organs are also jiggly on the inside. 😊
Hi, I haven't been able to taste or smell for three years now due to covid. And I suspect that there is some sort of vagus nerve impingement due to poor neck posture. I am going to try these out, but also if you have any pointers that may help my situation, I'd be grateful. ❤
I had a thyroidectomy a decade ago and also worked a stressful desk job afterwards and a herniated l4/l5 disk(pain free now since chiropractic). Since then I have what is called a dowager or buffalo hump. How can i release the fascia despite scar tissue in that area?
Besides working at a computer all day, another problem that affects my neck is wearing progressive glasses. I find I’m having to tilt my head up and down so much to be able to see properly. What do we do about that?
Thank you Dr Perry, one question....I keep noticing my shoulders and neck are tight then realise its because my head is in forward head position, but the strange thing is it feels as though its being forced into that position as it does it without me realising and no sooner have I pulled it back into correct alignment it goes straight back to the forward head position. Could it possibly be that the fascia has pulled the muscles into this incorrect position so that now it feels natural ? I also notice my breathing is chocked off like you mention. Funnily enough I've recently become more and more aware of my chocked off breathing and strained forward head position. Are there any more exercises we can do or do you have any other video on how to retrain the shoulders and neck to come back to correct alignment ? Will try these ecercises and see how they help.
Start with this one because it will change neck alignment which changes the blood flow to your brainstem which changes how the trigeminal nerve functions. But I will be having more videos coming that may be helpful
Looking forward to more videos that mention trigeminal neuralgia. I have it in both sides of upper and lower jaw, partly due to text neck, partly due to chronic atypical shingles that appear in every cranial nerve.
I can see the muscles right under the chin shift, such as bunching. I've been doing neck stretches for a long time without any change. I think the hulk vocals help.🎉
You explain so well and making sure we don't overdo . If there is some discomfort involved, you prepare us so that we are not alarmed...but stop and try again later.....excellent teacher.
Ok, ran across the tongue exercise about 40 min ago, Subscribed and just finished watching this one. @stopchasingpain so glad the tongue video went viral putting it in my TH-cam feed of things to watch. My whole life has been he!!ish pain. My jaw was crushed by forceps causing stunted growth of my bones...headaches my entire life until the age of 30 when I had my jaw cut out of my mouth for reconstructive surgery to even-up the two sides. Then came the 2 herniated disks in my neck and the amount of pain the in the muscles you named along with the holes (nerves) just above the collar bone by just touching them. I now have humped shoulders, lower back pain, poor circulation and inflammation just about everywhere in my body. Knowing that sitting around in pain was only giving me more pain, I started yoga about a month ago. However, because the two videos of exercises I've watched so far, I will be incorporating them into my daily routine. I will be watching all the rest of your videos too. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

I hope this helps you feel better. Thank you for watching.
This is an amazing video thank you
You are so welcome!
That first hulk move I used to do all the time🤣. My neck ridges stick out like an inch from my neck. You don’t look near as freaky as I do
hahaha one upping on the hulking :)
Hey, great information and great work, thank you. As a health care provider myself I wonder if your exercises (big 6..)can help now cancerfree patients that had a lateral or even full neck dissection? I have seen patients , some in their 30s and 40s that had lymphatic nodes removed from their jaw angle, parts of the platysma removed, other patients with full neck dissections with non functional platysma, all surgical accessible lymphatic nodes taken out. Since you emphasize the importance of the lymphatic drainage of the neck, are they doomed to end up with neurodegenerative disease or can the body restore lymphatic vessels after removal of lymphatic nodes?
I can speak from my own personal experience after having thyroid cancer 20 years ago and my entire thyroid removed and a significant amount of my lymph nodes in the neck removed. Lymph work may be extremely beneficial and is absolutely necessary in my clinical opinion. It's one reason I teach our Lymph Mojo Program
So these muscle exercises might cause a migraine for those with sensitive brains ... Correct !? I also was wondering.. do you have anything on occipital neuralgia and how to prevent further occipital nerve damage
I'm dealing with 4 different types of migraines and headaches... A lot of head trauma from abuse in childhood... Combined with terrible body mechanics which I was never aware of until I became a massage therapist !
yes
WOW. my herniated disk, 2 years to heal, couldn't get the chest open up properly, until now😸
So glad it helped.
Will youe information show me how to get WELL!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😂
👍
Do the excercises help with flabby jaw muscles and double chin? Thank You ❤
Perhaps.
Love it! 😍. ...only thing is, my double chin engages when I pull the back bump of my head- back & up... 😜😂lol
😄
Thank you!!! 😊
You are so welcome!
I liked doing It. Thank you a lot!
Great job!
So interesting, thank you !!
My pleasure!

🔺️ WOW! Why didn't my doctor say anything 22 yrs ago after my car accident❓ 🔺️
It can still be helpful now for you
@@stopchasingpain ❇AMAZING! Thank you for your tutelage!✅
Why do I have one less muscle on my left side???? 😮 Please answer this one
Anatomical variation
The goal is eccentric loading of the platysma?
The goal is to load that platysma. And in this case it's eccentric. So yes
I have had a cervical fusion, C4 on 5, are these exercises safe for me to do?
We cannot answer individual healthcare related questions
WONDERFULL KNOWLEDGE
Thank you
Thank you Doc !!
Welcome!
@@stopchasingpain ~ This exercise and parts of the explanation came in handy TODAY ALREADY for not one BUT TWO of my massage clients ~ WOOOOO
HOOOOOOOO
Tinnitus is going off like a theremin. Hopefully that means it's working.
👍
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
Bizarrely this made my platysma feel tighter and show more strongly 😩any idea why this might be?
You want it tighter that is why you are doing it. Stabilize the neck
@@stopchasingpainoh wow right I thought it was stretching out the platysma - that’s what I was looking for as I’ve noticed it getting tighter due to other exercises I’m doing. Not the right exercise for me obviously!
Merci beaucoup!🙏
Hulk says thank you :)
I did try the first 3 exercises, but felt my jaw shift too far when attempting anything to my right side. I have had fewer TMJ surgeries or arthroscopy on my right. It doesn't have a thick layer of scar tissue holding things more or less in place, like my left. I have noticed that the large muscle you spoke of is significantly weaker on the left than the right. It is sore after having followed you on the video. I would like to continue with the exercises, but I am concerned since I sublux so easily to the right with my jaw. Can you give me a certain measurement that would be o.k. for a deviation? This way I could measure my current deviation and find a safe distance not to cross. I hope I am not asking too much. As an aside, I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. For those reading this post who are not familiar, I have a connective tissue disorder that affects the collagen in my body, which means that my bones pop out of place easily, I am super flexible (but get hurt and bruise easily), and my organs are also jiggly on the inside. 😊
Yes if you have all of those you need to go by how you feel. Nothing should hurt when you do it
Hi, I haven't been able to taste or smell for three years now due to covid. And I suspect that there is some sort of vagus nerve impingement due to poor neck posture. I am going to try these out, but also if you have any pointers that may help my situation, I'd be grateful. ❤
Hope it helps.
I had a thyroidectomy a decade ago and also worked a stressful desk job afterwards and a herniated l4/l5 disk(pain free now since chiropractic). Since then I have what is called a dowager or buffalo hump. How can i release the fascia despite scar tissue in that area?
Start with this to strengthen the neck to take pressure off the dowager.
Besides working at a computer all day, another problem that affects my neck is wearing progressive glasses. I find I’m having to tilt my head up and down so much to be able to see properly. What do we do about that?
Won't be able to do anything about that you are just gonna have to stay diligent on the exercises to reduce the effects of wearing progressives.
Thank you Dr Perry, one question....I keep noticing my shoulders and neck are tight then realise its because my head is in forward head position, but the strange thing is it feels as though its being forced into that position as it does it without me realising and no sooner have I pulled it back into correct alignment it goes straight back to the forward head position. Could it possibly be that the fascia has pulled the muscles into this incorrect position so that now it feels natural ? I also notice my breathing is chocked off like you mention. Funnily enough I've recently become more and more aware of my chocked off breathing and strained forward head position.
Are there any more exercises we can do or do you have any other video on how to retrain the shoulders and neck to come back to correct alignment ?
Will try these ecercises and see how they help.
That's possible and you may need a manual manipulation because your joints are stuck. Consider seeing and osteopath, chiropractor, physical therapist
Thank you so much ❤️
throughly enjoyed 😉!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you.
Start exercising pls at 23 minutes
Times are listed in the description
Do you have any exercises for trigeminal neuralgia?
I second this request! Trigeminal neuralgia is painful.
Start with this one because it will change neck alignment which changes the blood flow to your brainstem which changes how the trigeminal nerve functions. But I will be having more videos coming that may be helpful
Looking forward to more videos that mention trigeminal neuralgia. I have it in both sides of upper and lower jaw, partly due to text neck, partly due to chronic atypical shingles that appear in every cranial nerve.
I do this exercise if ting my head. Up. Adoowhle lying on the bed with my heading hanging over. Is this ok?
I can't answer that question it depends on the individual. But if it feels good keep going
Will this help with the added chronically elevated shoulders?
Perhaps there are many different causes for that
@@stopchasingpainA vid on this topic would be good. I also have this. 🙂
❤😊THANK YOU 😊❤
You are so welcome
Polyvagel theory, I'm more interested in the PolyBagel theory...
That works too if it helps relax ya. 😄
23:00 start of practice
Hopefully people watch the full video so they understand why they are doing the exercise. Thank you for marking
🙌
Thank you
Heeeeeeahhh 👹
yaaaaaaaaaaaa :)
I can see the muscles right under the chin shift, such as bunching. I've been doing neck stretches for a long time without any change. I think the hulk vocals help.🎉
👌
❤❤❤
Thank you
I spent 2 years suffering in pain. You just saved the rest of my life. Thank you!! ❤
Oh that is so wonderful to hear thank you for watching. Great that it helped
Thank you !!!!
You're welcome!
You explain so well and making sure we don't overdo . If there is some discomfort involved, you prepare us so that we are not alarmed...but stop and try again later.....excellent teacher.
Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback.
i think you just saved my life. i dont feel any anxiety after doing these exercises
Well that is just super fantastic to hear well done
Ok, ran across the tongue exercise about 40 min ago, Subscribed and just finished watching this one. @stopchasingpain so glad the tongue video went viral putting it in my TH-cam feed of things to watch. My whole life has been he!!ish pain. My jaw was crushed by forceps causing stunted growth of my bones...headaches my entire life until the age of 30 when I had my jaw cut out of my mouth for reconstructive surgery to even-up the two sides. Then came the 2 herniated disks in my neck and the amount of pain the in the muscles you named along with the holes (nerves) just above the collar bone by just touching them. I now have humped shoulders, lower back pain, poor circulation and inflammation just about everywhere in my body. Knowing that sitting around in pain was only giving me more pain, I started yoga about a month ago. However, because the two videos of exercises I've watched so far, I will be incorporating them into my daily routine. I will be watching all the rest of your videos too. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for watching unsubscribing. Truly grateful. Thank you for the kind words too. Hope these help
