Dr. Perry, I'm in literal tears of joy with how much chronic pain you're helping me relieve. I'm 30 years old, I have severe TMJ (mitek anchor placed on one side of my jaw) + bad car accident 2 years ago (C3-C5 disc herniations) + rotator cuff tear. The asymmetries all over my body has led to a ton of chronic pain. This technique + the Dr. Evil exercise has been helping with pain relief and has improved my range of motion. I can't wait to consume more and more of the knowledge you are putting out - very grateful to have access to this. Thank you very much for doing this.
I came across the video of a Russian doctor couple days ago, explaining about massaging the muscle that connects from the cranium to the jaw, the muscle of the coronary artery passes through. It helped a lot. That in combination with this is extremely helpful
Thank you so much, I’ve had pulsatile tinnitus for years and after reading your comment, I’ve researched the muscle : digastric muscle and some massage and exercise and it’s nearly completely gone.
@@theladyofthelakesFTs888 sometimes it's hard to even think or focus because the ringing gets so loud. Right now it's very faint. The Russian doctor said if your massaging the muscle on the left side turn your head to the right, and vice versa. I'm going to scroll through my history and find that video and return to post the link. I haven't verified my account with an ID, to make links clickable. But you can use pen and paper to write it down. Brb
Dear Dr Perry, am so grateful that you’ve shared this knowledge with us. I’ve applied the massage on my neck and for the first time in many months I slept pain free! I think as well that my neck pain is related with me clenching my jaw during the day (and maybe during the night as well). Thank you for your dedication and for recording all those fantastic videos ❤🌺🙏🏻! Best wishes, Jo.
Doctor. Perhaps you won't believe but I was praying ti God a while ago before watching this post for some remedy for my neck pain. It's been two decades I am having episodes of excruciating and pulsating neck pain at right side at exactly the same locations you have demonstrated. It goes up to my scalp as if someone's stabbing it and down to clavicle. Will update on this after doing self relief exercises you advised. GOD BLESS YOU SIR🙌🙏🙇♂️
Thank you for this - will give it a try. I’ve been having issues with my neck, jaw, throat and voice and think I developed tinnitus after stretching my neck too aggressively, as I also then felt pain in my left arm, as if I’d trapped a nerve or hit one of those nerves you mention. I’ve been trying to strengthen the SCM instead of stretching to try and take pressure off this area as it feels so weak and inflamed. Also trying to strengthen the pterygoids, scalenes and traps. It’s an absolute minefield around that area it seems but I’m trying everything to help this tinnitus. I know people say tinnitus is incurable but it doesn’t feel that way to me intuitively after how it came about. With your knowledge on the nervous system it would be great to hear if you have any insight into tinnitus!
Wow, are we the same person? I have the exaxt same problem. So sorry that you have to go through this, and I hope you get much better🙏 I've been struggling with tinnitus for about 5 years at least + neck pain, pinched nerve down my left arm, headaches, throat pain, always trying to clear my throat, and talking is exhausting too. My neck pain got so bad over time that everything was tedious, had to stop working November last year and got it checked out. Finally I had my neck surgery in February. So now I have a titanium cage/plate from C4-C7. Operation wasn't scary at all, the surgeon was very pro 😁👌 So I'm doing better, going regularly to physical-therapy and still doing weight training and trying to fix tension/posture. Gonna continue with these excellent exercises too 👍 Hopefully the tinnitus goes away😅 Just know there are options if it gets really bad and everything in life gets exhausting because of neck pain/problems. It sucks so Fu**ing bad to go through and to live with. I hope everything goes well for you friend 🙏🙏🙏
I am so very thankful for finding you last year! We all talk about you and share your videos in our Block Therapy group on Facebook! You have a lot of fans there! I talked to a chiropractor about these muscles but she just said that "you can't do it yourself. " Not true! I do have degenerative disc disease in my cervicle spine and facet joint syndrome there as well, but I keep telling doctors that I feel like the muscles there are tensing up while trying to protect my neck. Thank you for showing me exactly how and where to do it to get some relief in that area. 😊 I appreciate toy and your generous videos so very much! ❤ 🙏
Oh that is so great. I love Block Therapy. Deanne is coming on my podcast next year. Please tell everyone in the group I said hello. Yes you sure can do these to yourself. I mean its your own body right? hahaha
For a couple years it’s felt like there’s a huge knot right behind my right SCM. Not where you hook into it, but right behind there in the center area of the neck. It feels very tight, like a rope is in there, instead of a muscle. Hopefully, this will help get that part to relax. Thank you for the tutorial
Edit: this underneath I wrote 3 days ago, now want to tell you about my experiences with the massage. First massage: I found the spots quite easily. They are very sore in both sides and stone hard. It's like a big bone is in there, which of course it isn't. Deep massage is not possible, can't get in, only rubbing is possible. Not much later and although I had not massaged for long or hard, following your advice, I got a headache, coming up from my shoulders/neck. Nothing excruciating, I never have headaches, but this to me was bad. That went on the whole day. Next morning I massaged again, now it went better. This morning used the massage tool, that felt really good. Am still at the beginning, but will go on, slowly working this area into normality. Why that area is so hard is still a mystery to me, is that hard muscle or tendon? Thanks for posting this! Had many years ago twice within a year a whiplash due to someone crashing into my car. Had muscle ache but as that went I forgot it and went on with life. Only later realised that my left collarbone was drawn up, and still is and how much my neck had become stiffer. Now can hardly look over my shoulder, very annoying with backdriving the car!
I feel like I know exactly where you're talking about. Of course, pain is throughout my neck, but there's that one tough one that goes up into the back of my skull that wreaks havoc. I hear you about trying to back up the car or look over your shoulder... so painful.
Thank you Dr!!! I would hope that the world will listen to you! I wish that you will be invited to the Huberman Poadcast! that will be just amzaing! People need to know about your knowledge! Thank you again!
Dr Perry both sides are super tight I think I have a contraptions on part of my craneal back bone near and up the cervical vertebrae so the flow I think is not working that could explain why I am not just tight also pain and brain fog every day I discovered more things that are not working properly on my body thank you for helping me realize that my problems are more complicated than I thought but finding it it will help me to find a way to get better the properly way
Great timing... I've been trying to relieve this very spot! I've been trying but get nervous about touching the sensitive spot. I've been going for massages but most masseurs are not trained for this level of nerve/brain. And my doctor mostly wants to medicate, which mostly dulls... me . Question: could this be done with a tens? Thanks.
I had cervical fusion level 2 surgery in 2018, and I live with constant pain in the upper shoulders and traps. This video is God sent. Thank you. What video can you suggest for TMG? Thanks again.
FYI: I want an appointment and found your site to do so. I’m a country girl and a little anxious about flying into Teterboro NJ and then driving a rental to get to you. I’m in Louisiana. Is there a better way? Ty 😊
Also my lymph node on the left is very prominent & hard . About the size of a pebble? I have nothing to compare it to because I have the worst brain fog I cant even live a normal life .
I thought about that after i wrote this . I completely understand. Thanks though. Your videos are very informative and helpful. I’m going with my own advice and following my instincts on this. Obviously nothing else has worked. So keep on helping those of us in pain . You’re the best!
The world would be a completely different place if just half the Drs had your passion and knowledge!!!! Thank You for the knowledge!!!
Thank you so very much. This is really kind of you to say. I am grateful. 😄
I want to learn lymphatic drainage to a professional level to really help people. I’ve found out that docs and nurses know little
This video came up like a prayer answered. I can’t express my gratitude enough to this compassionate doctor.
Wonderful! Thank you for watching.

@@AnonMedic, is it Dr Alekseev?
@@theladyofthelakesFTs888 I don't know he had an English voice over, and was using a standing skeleton model to demonstrate.
Thank you for this👍
My pleasure! Thank you for watching. Hope you find this valuable

Thanks Dr Perry. Always love your gems 💎 for patients and therapists alike
Thank you Paula! Miss you. Can't wait to come back and visit Australia.
I do this several times daily due to stress & muscle tension!!!😂❤🎉
Hope it helps.

Tinnitus is a tough one because of that minefield. There are a lot of possibilities that contribute to tinnitus.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Good body awareness in easing up and not causing pain when you do it. Body will ease into letting tension go.

Yes it can. I use that often. Just did not show here. Watch your strength settings. Don't go too high

Hope it helps. See our Dr. Evil jaw reset video
Any therapists in the UK that do this work? I need this so much
I'm sure there are. As in all places the difficulty comes in finding one.
@stopchasingpain thanks what type of expertise would I search for? Anyway ill be making most of your videos for now
Hi, great video. How to rotate a still neck from arthritis? Thank you
Rotate to what you can and do this move
Yahusha bless you
!!!
Thank you
How often should this be done daily?
That is up to you.
This area is very very tender to touch. But not tight. What does that mean?
That means you need it. You have inflammation
FYI: I want an appointment and found your site to do so. I’m a country girl and a little anxious about flying into Teterboro NJ and then driving a rental to get to you. I’m in Louisiana. Is there a better way? Ty 😊
You’re in Saddle River NJ right ?
Newark is the better airport.
Yes
@@stopchasingpain thank you !!!!
Is this safe for chiari & neck fusions ? Also a cut vagus nerve?
Also my lymph node on the left is very prominent & hard . About the size of a pebble? I have nothing to compare it to because I have the worst brain fog I cant even live a normal life .
Sorry We can't give individual medical recommendations to non-patients. Check with your healthcare provider.
I thought about that after i wrote this . I completely understand. Thanks though. Your videos are very informative and helpful. I’m going with my own advice and following my instincts on this. Obviously nothing else has worked. So keep on helping those of us in pain . You’re the best!
Game Changer
🚀
Made a big difference for me 😄
This exercise made me yawn like crazy! Maybe my body trying to stimulate the vagus nerve more?? (just guessing here!)
You get the vagus nerve there too. SCM and vagus always go together.
👏👏👏🙏
Thank you for watching
@ thank you for knowledge 🙏
Thank you for this! ❤
You're so welcome! Hope it helps.
