- OCCIPITAL NEURALGIA EXERCISES | STRETCHES FOR OCCIPITAL NEURALGIA || Stephen Dunn, Holistic Physical Therapist, Pilates & Gyrotonic Instructor, Author, Online Course Creator, Business Coach, Podcast Host & co-owner of CORE Therapy and Pilates teaches an essential unknown stretch and one exercise to improve occipital neuralgia.
Is Occipital neuralgia bothering the base of your skull and behind your eyes? Watch this video to learn more! Why is occipital neuralgia causing so much pain in my life? By the end of this you will know the essential stretch no one is talking about and the best exercise to help improve your occipital neuralgia symptoms.… I’ve helped hundreds of patients with this condition over the past two decades and can’t wait to teach you. Why is occipital neuralgia causing so much pain in my life? The nerve between the skull and the first cervical vertebra is compressed. This is caused by forward head posture putting pressure on the occipital nerve causing occipital neuralgia. The muscles in front that we want to stretch are the platysma and scalene. Place your hand under the collar bone and look up and over the opposite shoulder and hold for 4-5 deep breaths. Next, we will do the chin tuck exercise by pulling your head back and up to relieve the pressure on the occipital nerve.

Do you have neck pain and headaches due to Occipital Neuralgia? Try these occipital neuralgia exercises and stretches
Thank you so much for that first stretch! I always tell them it's the front of my neck that hurts and feels tight like it's pulling my jaw muscles and yet they always "treat" the back of the neck.... (I'm in round two of physical therapy for my neck)
@@blake5318 you are very welcome... thanks for watching!
Yes, I do. But I also have a leftward compressed nerve from stenosis at C4/C5, so it makes part of this hard to do (the first stretch, to the right side). To top it all off I have a torn labrum & biceps tendenitis in my right shoulder, so some of my PT exercises for my stenosis agitate that and vice versa...
I have also had a TLIF (L5/S1) - but this, while painful, is no longer consequential.
I've applied for an entirely new musculoskeletal system; interestingly, insurance has not agreed to this! :-D
Are you in Austin? I graduated from college there yeeeears ago, when it was much smaller and less California-fied (coincidentally where I live now).
If you have other exercises for suggestion, I'm all eyes.
Is there any particular pillow for occipital neuralagia ?? Nd thnk u so muchhh
Great simple stretch, easy ro do a few times a day, great relief. I use computers for hours.
Wow! I went to the chiropractor 2 days in a row and was still experiencing excruciating pain. My daughter sent me this video and I felt relief instantly. Thank you!
It's 4am I'm in complete agony and then found this gem,Instant relief. honestly thank you! 🙏🏽
I love reading this!
@Gretchen Harbourt I get this a few times a year too, waking up with this pain. I had it last night from about 10:30pm until around 1am. And then it came back the next day, I know its from posture and truly from furniture that doesn’t support my back in sitting up straighter (old arm chair and sofa that isn’t firm, and looking at iPad🙃😕. And in past was from bad pillows, ugh.
ditto LOL
I find I get the most pain from this at night when laying down trying to sleep. It is horrifying. It is a horrifying pain.
@@siobhanrose1680 are you still suffering from this pain?
17 years of Occipital neuralgia caused by a stroke. Daily constant pain. Rehab doctors, physical therapists, pain doctors, nerve blocks. nothing. Doing your stretches 3 times daily and I have slept through the night pain free 9 of 10 days so far and i go hours without even thinking abut my pain. Thank you. I have other stretches I do, but the first stretch in this video is magic
How r u now
Omg complete healed me thank you baby Jesus!!
Glad it helped!
I’ve had occipital pain for quite a few years. Was eating dinner with a headache and then decided to TH-cam tension headaches and pain relief. Your video came up and I did your 2 stretches. Instant relief, especially with the collar bone strength. Thank you so very much!
It’s 1am and as I sit in tears because of this pain, it instantly became less painful by doing these exercises. Thank you so much. I’m going to do these every few hours now💯

I pray it helps me ♥️.My eye doctor mentioned at my last visit , stated that he had asked me if I had chicken pox as a child and he said that is why I have these painful conditions ❤️Praying for everyone with pain 🙏♥️
May God heal you.🙏🏽
Wow! This explanation about the connection to neck and areas below -- especially to the front of the body-- really xeroed in on my particular areas of pain. No one else has suggested those stretches. Bingo! And one enormous thank you ! I've been at this for 2 years -- 7 docs and 3 phys therapists. All just brushed me off, didn't take me seriously. Thank you beyond words!
Subscribed. Thank you for the fast relief, truly.
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for this. I get horrible flare ups with this and it has really worn on me mentally. This provided some relief instantly
I can’t tell you happy I am to find your videos. It’s given me hope after a bad night. Thank you for your kind work
You are so welcome
really helped thanks
Glad to hear!
Thank you sir very much ❤
Great video Stephen.
Glad you enjoyed it
Omg! Totally amazing~ relieves it right away
I'm glad!
I used to have this issue occasionally when I was a kid. I'm glad to hear it actually has a name.
It only lasted about two seconds but it felt like a ring of electricity travelling up from the based of the head to the top of the scalp where the ring would come together and zap the top of the head leaving a slightly painful burning sensation.
It hasn't happened in years and it was a very uncommon thing, probably happened three or four times during my childhood.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
this is gold, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the scalene & platysma stretch because I’ve never done that one before. Great video CORE!
Thanks for your comment and feedback... See you soon! Hope you had a great easter!
I think it worked with the first stretch 🙏🏻🙏🏻iv been suffering for 12 months thank you I’m in uk 🇬🇧 other wise I would calling you right now, seeing GP for first time about this pain tomorrow I’ll tell him/ her about this stretch 🙏🏻 thank you
So happy to help from across the world!
Thank you so much. I've had this pain constantly for at least a week. It used to be on occasion but I guess with age and computer habits, I've irritated the area more. I love the chin tuck and the stretch on the front area. Have a super day.
Thank you so much! I thought I have a serious illness until I found this video and it worked like magic !
It’s really helps. God bless you sir!
Excellent thank you
Great stretch Thankyou
This is a real it works properly.ThankYou DR.
Blessed Art Thou, I immediately felt comfort. Thank You!!
I'm so glad!
Thank you so, so much! I have been in pain for a week and this made a world of difference! I would not have even thought that the issue was at the front of the neck.
You're so welcome!
I found your video after a week of neck and head pain. I had already been trying all the possible neck stretches, with very little to no results. Your video was the first and only one that showed the stretch at the front of the neck. I got a substantial decrease in the level of pain, both at the neck and head - and also at the TMJ level. Thank you so much!
Oh, this along with some nearby issues on my upper back and neck has been absolutely wrecking my life. Glad to finally have a name to the issue.
Thank you!
You are very welcome...
I just started these stretches and I can already feel relief!
That neck stretch was really helpful. Thanks much!
You are welcome
Thank you very much it helped me a lot.🙏
Thank you Doctor... your video really helped me. Again, thanks a million
Thank you so much.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME..."DRAMATICALLY!" I've gone to a neurosurgeon, had Xray, MRI, CAR scan, and let's not forget injection! The ONLY relief was from "HEAT," stretching the front muscles, and most of all...trying (very hard) to stretch the top of my head to the ceiling! You MUST FULLY EXTEND UPWARDS. I've tried EVERY and ALL other stretches... These are the ONLY ONES THAT WORKED!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN!
Edward
You are so welcome
Thanks a lot, Amazing
Immediate relief! I will add these to my daily stretches and exercises! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Definitely helped. You're a blessing! Thank you 💙 🧡 💜
It started after looking down sewing all day.
You are so welcome!
Thanks a lot
Literally did these stretches a couple times for a few minutes while i was at work. Bam! Gone! Thank you so much!!!
SERIOUSLY! Is that all it took to help this awful pain! Totally worked! Totally amazing! Absolute genius! Thank you so much 💓
Glad it helped!
thank so much you're doing gods work
So glad to help!!!
This felt good!
That first exercise really exacerbates my symptoms, meaning that is where my issue is. Thank you 🙏
Glad to help you get some clarity...
Thank you. You are amazing
Thanks so much, glad to help1
Very helpful, instant relief 🙏
Glad it helped!
My neuralgia pains happen behind my ears most times, usually the left. The neuro called it occipital.
After battling neuralgia pain most of the weekend, the first stretch feels more helpful for me so far.
Same. The under the collar bone thing didn't work for me so I did above the collarbone and it helped the excruciating ear pain.
Thank you so much! So many videos and yours worked the best! Can sleep with some peace now 😴 ❤️
Just tried this hope it helps gona try everyday thanks so much 🙏
Excellent 👍👍👍 thanks for your tips.
My pleasure!
Great stretch - immediately relieved the tingling sensation I've had along the left side of my head into my ear, over the head, and behind the eye. Thanks CORE.
You're very welcome!
deeply grateful for helping me relese the pain in a few minutes
So happy to read your comment
ThankyOu sOoo much 😊🙏Godbless
So happy this helped!
These absolutely 💯 help. I do them morning and night. The other thing is really notice how much you look down all day especially at your phone. I have learned to bring my phone or reading material up to eye level verses looking down at them and this has also been super helpful.
Adding the front stretch to my routine. Thanks, Stephen!
You're welcome!
very good and the exerise really helps
Whoa the first exercise helped thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This actually helped a problem that I thought I would need to go to a doc for. Thank you very much!
Amazing! Instant head pressure relief.
Great to hear!
Thanks, the chin tuck is a game changer
Lifesaver. God bless you 🙏
This makes my day!
I was in agony for going on two months. doctors said it was migraines to IIH ..test and scans were showing nothing abnormal but still I had a almost constant “headache” but it was more of pressure and tightness behind my ears and eyes . Did these exercise and in two days, I’m pain free smh thanks so much
Have been struggling on and off with this for years. Found the chest press and neck stretch really deep and effective. Thank you
I've had this problem since 1994. No one knew what it was. Had MRI's, scans, x rays, what have you. For me, I can't say its causing PAIN, but the electric sensation is so complete and overwhelming that it made me cry. I was told I was imagining it and that it was anxiety. Finally told my chiropractor about the symptom and he said, "Oh, I can fix that." He did a few adjustments and I was fine. I only have it occasionally now, and I do the stretches. I hope you feel better!
