I don’t normally comment but I’m a broken down firefighter and I’ve used several of your videos to help my ailments so I appreciate your help! I’ve had mri’s, X-rays, spent hundreds at pt for pain in my neck, shoulder chest and upper back. I did this stretch tonight and had instant relief from all of those pains! Such a simple thing to bring so much relief! Thanks again!
Are you all better?
The ringing in my ears, the pain in my neck,shoulders,jaw and arms has been so severe It caused depression. Now that I found Dr. Mandell’s channel. I am pain free as well as hopeful that my life is getting better daily. Thank you Jesus for this man Dr. Mandell!!!
9:22 when i do this my neck cracks and pops-is that ok?
@@TL-ex8fzas long as it doesn't hurt, popping & cracking is normal.
OMG!!! OMG! I have been dealing with swallowing pain, stiff shoulders, neck and chest pain for 4 months!! I got so panicked about it all that I got an endoscopy, several x rays, and various other tests that revealed nothing! 10 minutes of doing this stretch and you have cured me. I had no idea that the issue was coming from those muscles. I just made some toast to see if I still had swallowing pain and its GONE!!!! Thank you!!!!!! I might just have a steak dinner tonight!!!!! Subscriber for life!
I’ve been awake all night in tears due to a pinched nerve in my neck radiating down my arm and back. Thank God I found your channel. Just the two videos I’ve watched and exercises I’ve tried have helped to alleviate my pain. Thank you so much for posting these and helping people in pain like me.
Which video u have watched for pinched nerve
Thank you so much ! You saved my live with this exercise, I had a a shoulder ,trap , chest pain, all together on the right side of my body. I can say you are amazing after a month and half of continuous pain now is much much better ! I'll continue to do so till the pain will disappear. Again thank you so much ! God bless you Doc ! 😃
Have you looked at PRI (postural rehabilitation)? It looks at the symptoms you are having as a natural consequence of the body’s tendencies to hold tension and compensate.
It is really fascinating!
I love your videos! I have been in 5 auto accidents in my lifetime. The Chiropractors did not know how to help me and they on purpose twisted me sideways and my vertebral column calcified in that shape. It would take several pages to tell you what they did to me. Ten years ago I purchased equipment and literally had to force those treating me to do certain things. It's been a battle. All they want to do is increase their income by seeing 300 patients a day. They for cookie cutter treatments. I have for many years used a homedics massager and a theracane. Thank you for your help! I have gotten more help from you than I have ever gotten from medical or local chiropractor help. This teaching on the SCM's and Traps is extremely helpful!
Would loved to have found this channel two years ago when all of my pain started. Would have saved me thousands of dollars, pain, stress and surgery. Great channel

Me too.
What kind of surgery did you have?
He definitely knows his stuff!
Thanks
Are you relieved of all your symptoms now?
This is a life changer for me, Dr. Mandell. I am sincere. I tried the stretch and felt almost immediate relief of a debilitating nerve pain in both of my arms, stretching from shoulders to my thumbs. I am positive that if I am consistent with this exercise, the pain will continue to mitigate and I will regain full use of both of my hands. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and hope! I've had to give up so many of the things I love...gardening, drawing, carrying my grand kids...because of the ceaseless pain in my arms and hands. I've tried yoga, massage, Reiki, literally, everything. I don't use medications and did not believe surgery was the answer so I felt trapped by these awful, not-working arms. Your simple exercise seems an amazing alternative to being in constant pain and getting progressively weaker. Thank you again.
Were you able to stop the pain?
I've never comment youtube channel before, but now I have to say this, thank you dr. Mandell. All of your vidoes are really helpful. My bad posture caused so much pain and headache almost 2 years. but now it's almost gone away. Thank you dr. I really love you.
I can’t wait to try this!!!! As a nurse, I’m always looking down at a computer and suffer from stiff trapezius pain. Thanks so much!!
I love you man. You’re an angel helping those in pain. Blesses to you and you’re loved ones. 💯
Man you’re a lifesaver - keep putting out your knowledge!!
You're a genius Dr. Mandell. You been helping a lot of people and not asking anything in return. God bless you more
Thank you. I just about teared up the first 30 seconds. It's been a very hard last three years. I wake up every morning with terrible neck pain and headaches. Behind my eyes, top of head and base of skull. You spoke of every pain I have. In every place I'm experiencing it.
Is your pain disappeared now?
I am so happy I stumbled on this. I am a trained orchestra teacher. After 23 years playing violin, I have never found as a relieving stretch as this. I have recently had chronic numbness and pain resonating through all the areas you mentioned. Feeling better already. Many thanks, Dr. Mandell.
Thank you so much for this video! I've had referred pain down my left arm from a pinched nerve into my first two fingers, leaving them like "pins and needles" when I moved my neck a certain way, just like one of your images showed. I did stretches on my own that I thought would help, had a massage (which felt good for a bit but she said it would take 5 sessions to fix and I don't have that kind of money) and have dealt with this for a little over a month. I tried this technique, felt a stretch in a place I never have before and after a few minutes of doing it, when I put my neck in that position, the pins and needles are now GONE. Regular practice of this will sure alleviate all the pain that's still left from the tight muscles. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Dr Mandell - thank you for your hard work in making these videos and for posting. Long time follower but this particular stretch saves the day every time. Easy, practical and they work!
Thank you so much Dr. Mandell. I am having just what you describes pain in arms ,shoulder, and hands. I'll try this stretch . You are a big blessing to all who hear you!!
What an amazing stretch! It has instantly helped the pain and stiffness in my neck and interestingly my breathing too! It's all connected 🙌 Thank you Dr Mandel for making my day greater ❤️
Thank you Doctor for explaining this! I've been to various doctors to explain the pain I'm having on the left side of my body from my head, neck, chest, arm, rib and even tailbone. I've even told them that I only find relief when I stretch my neck and they look at me like they have no idea what I'm talking about. Finding this channel has been one of the few ways I've been able to feel like myself before all the pain.
I love your channel I'm talking about it for all the people that I know, thanks doctor you're doing fantastic job 👌👌👌👌::)
His video's have help me a lot. His Neck Stretch to increase the cervical curve has gotten Reid of my cluster headaches. He is a good man!
John Smith can u specify which video. Please
This strech is phenomenal .being a dancer for 40 years this is perfect for self healing . Take your heath Inyo your own hands with the help of great generous and knowledgeable being like Dr Mandell.
This is FANTASTIC!!!! I think I had been looking for a solution for pain in all those parts of the body that you showed in the pictures for about 15 years. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much Dr. Mandell. Many blessings for the wonderful help you are providing to all who are in need.
Sir, youve saved my life. Thank you.
So many decades of playing tag with different aspects of wedtern medicine and now, finally I have healing. Bless you.
I've been begging all my physical therapists and chiropractors for something I could do at home to alleviate my daily neck pain. I can't wait to try this!
now channels such as this show how the internet can be used for good. Thanks for your time in doing all your videos, they are priceless.
OMG this was an amazing stretch! I always get really tight traps and neckpain from working out and sleeping with a crappy pillow. I really felt a deep stretch with this technique. Thank you very much Dr. Mandell I love your videos
OMG You are a genius! Never felt better. I tried EVERYTHING but you stretches are the best
I suffer from neck, shoulder, arm and finger pain/numbness since Aug 2018. I poked my scalenes anterior and my whole left arm ran hot and cold and went numb. This video is amazing. Who needs a Doc when we have people like you and youtube.
You described what I'm going through with pinpoint accuracy and I mean pinpoint accuracy down to the tee and I'ma try this so thanks for the info you're easily one of the good guys
Omg thank you so much, I've been struggling with this on and off for quite some time. Really appreciate your videos!
Felt instant relief and my breathing capability amplified vastly, what the heck! Thanks a ton Doc!!!
Thank you Dr.Mandel! you are truly a blessing. Thanks to you I feel so much better. You have been an inspiration.
Great man serving people all over the world through his videos. God bless him
I've been doing 5 two-minute full weight body hangs from a bar each night in the local gym. After a week of so of this routine, the SCMs tightened up and I got all kinds of weird symptoms in my molars, ears and mouth. Even strange tastes that I thought were due to tooth decay (maybe?). Just did these exercises with the towel that you describe here and found instant relief. No more TMJ-like symptoms. Vanished in an instant. Thanks a whole lot.
The towel technique absolutely worked for me. God Bless you I have had severe nerve pain left shoulder to left hand finger. Have had this pain for 4 weeks. Several towel stretches and I am pain free. Thank You so much!!!!
I have severed cervicogenic headaches, cervical radiculopathy, and myofascia pain syndrome. I tried your exercises, and I actually found some relief. Your videos are a Godsend!
You are the best... I live with this pain scalenus muscle pain traps. I thank you very much.
Doc you are the best! Your knowledge is a blessing!
Literally the best video all my life
You're the best Doc! Your videos help me a lot with my shoulder pain, thank you very much
You are awesome dr Mandel you are helping many people and dont charge for it and your super smart love ya buddy
Thank you Dr. Mandell, you are amazing and I love your passion to help others!
I just got this kinda pain today and tried your self help video. My neck pain is better, thank You Dr. M
Amazing. Just amazing.
5 minutes of stretching and I feel completely different! Looking forward to long term relief.
Dr.Mandell You/ your channel is a great service to many people with these, 'normal' (nowdays) problems. I personally cant thank you enough for the advice and I am learning a great deal from you. Many many thanks sir
Your videos have truly changed my life!! God bless!
Exactly what the doctor ordered. I needed to see this. Thank you greatly!
Amazing results. I do find that I need to do these exercises for the SCM muscles daily. I feel the benefit immediately. I have forward head posture. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. Just what i needed these days. Lots of contraction and pain in that area on left side my painful side. I carry cervical syndrome since i had a neck sprain years ago. Thank you doc. You are God sent. I am always showed the videos from you that i need at the moment. Thank you earth healing angel. 💖🙏
My god!! My whole arm goes numb and I couldn’t figure out the issue. You’ve helped me so so much!! Man I’m finally feeling relief. You’re amazing!!
I truly love you dr. You helped me a few years ago and now I'm having issues again and this is just what I need. Your just a genuine honest person and you deserve a lot more income then these doctors that want to do the most invasive surgery before doing these simple things. Keep up the great work and god bless to you and your family as well! Also everyone in the TH-cam community :)
Thanks u were great help
Problems like these arent black and white, migraines and chronic tension headaches are unfortunately caused by many things. Low iron, stress, injuries, strain, tension and a whole lot of bigger issues aswell. Many of them can be confused as the sole problem so its alot of experimentation and finding the right people at the right time to help. But i do believe that most doctors have their heart and their intentions in the right place so please dont be too harsh on these people as they have their own specialty and are just trying to do what they think is best for you (:
I like channel
Show me how can u relieve neck shoulder pain
I am hernia duscal c3 c4c5c6

Just brilliant! These videos have really helped me so thank you again!!
These towl stretches are great! I am finally getting some relief from my sore and inflexible neck. I am also getting better in my left shoulder.
I love this channel, helped me so much! Thank you doc
OMG....immediately felt a LOT better , I have been dealing with this for over a month now....Thank you
Thank you Dr Mendel. You are the best. I've got chronic disc degenerative disc and spinal stenosis. My movement is restricted so I'm going to try these stretches. Thank you for ur knowledge and expertise. I love all your videos. God bless you 🙏
You saved my life Dr. Mandell! Thank you so much for this video!
I like the fact that you care and you want to help....thank you...I am happy I found you before it's too late..🤗
I forgot to say, these stretches worked AMAZINGLY well for me! Thank you for posting this video!
This is the best stretch I've learned that really helps my neck. I don't have a pinched nerve yet but I am afraid that I will have one soon. Because my left upper traps is tight most of the time. I have to do everything I can to prevent a pinched nerve from developing.
Incredible! I can't believe this actually relieved my neck/shoulder pain. Thanks A Million!
Thank you Dr Mandell you'll never know how much you have helped
Thank you Dr. Mandell for this wonderful video. I've been dealing with cervical radiculopathy for several months. Have found many of your videos very helpful. This technique seems especially helpful. Thank you again and "much love" to you.
My message was meant for the previous video neck pain/headache I hadn't realized it had switch to another one. Will watch this one as well. So happy to have found you!
Right on......You are such a blessing! This is the most helpful video I have found to address this problem. Thank you so much I already feel so much better. Head is lighter and I actually can feel the blood moving up my head.
Thanks a lot Dr Mandell. Merry Christmas.
Wow! I felt the stretch, and the relief immediately. I have had a diagnosed pinched nerve in my neck for a number of years. I have since, I turned 50 a few years ago, increased my quilting and this situation of pain and now tingling in my fingers has developed. I am very weary of going back to the Neurologist. This helped, thanks
Thank you so much for your educational videos! Your information is so valuable and I love how simple your tips are so everybody can easily applay them.
This helped me so much I cannot thank you enough. I wasn’t able to move my neck and now I can. I will do these more often. Ty ty ty!!!!
Thank you so much. I'm a HCA nurse and you have helped me so much.
Thank you for your honest help. Spot on. No strings attached. May God bless you abundantly. I am telling everyone about you.
I've had forward neck posture & rounded shoulders for several years. I look forward to doing all of your exercises. I have very limited movement of my neck. It sure is a pain in the neck.😉
This video is very helpful because I am experiencing that right now. Tfs
Thank you for ALL your videos........you are the bomb doc! Making the world a healthier, less painful place. Love you.
Omg thank you so much!! I've been battling a major headache all evening with no relief. I was just telling my husband about how bad my neck and shoulders were hurting me and then your video popped up in my feed😯I tried it and WOW! Headache isn't gone 100% but definitely has given me considerable relief. Thank you again! Will continue to work on your neck stretches💕
I have a trapped C6 and each night I wake with agonising pain ,tried everything over 20 year's Chiropractor Physiotherapy,Neck Stretchers, Several Cervical Pillows, all to no avail.I tried this towel strech and cant believe the relief ,you have changed my life and I would like to thank you most sincerely ,its so simple yet so effective.
Thank you so much for this. I had relatively instant pain relief when doing this stretch
You are not only a great Doctor but, an excellent, excellent Teacher, Professor. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Great videos Dr.Mandell. You explain everything very well. Keep up the good work. Thanks!!
Dr. Mandel you are such a great doctor! I really thank God for you!!! God bless you!!!
Your doing a fantastic job doctor!!!sharing it through everyone facing these kind of problems!! THANK YOU VERY MUXH.and keep doing more videos ..
Hi Doc,
The above video on stretching the neck muscles really helped me this evening Thank you again for posting so many great quality videos
I cannot thank you enough for sharing your invaluable information! This video is EXACTLY what I needed for my neck. Since my accident, none of the doctors have done anything for my pain except take xrays/MRI's tell me I have 4 bulging discs and try to prescribe medication (which I won't take) I feel that if we assist our bodies they will heal themselves. Anyways, between your videos, bob&brad, and Dr. Jo slowly my body is getting better and the pain is starting to fade. It's sad that I have to create my own PT plan. What are some doctors for if they aren't improving your situation? This video is the icing on the cake for me. I will definitely be adding this to my daily PT. Thank you again, I appreciate you so much!
Hi Dr Mandell. So great this technique.I'm having tingling in my hands for some days and really felt this pinched nerve. I've just followed your advice and l feel such a relief in my neck and shoulders.Thank you so much taking great care of us.God really sends you to help us.You will always be blessed. 🙏🙏
omg, that's exactly what i need. hope everyone who has that problem get to see this video...
Thanks, Doc! I've been trying to figure out what I need to stretch to make the weird tingling sensations I get in my fingers go away. I have frequent appointments with my neurologist that I have to keep because I have a chronic health condition that he has to monitor and also it keeps the Social Security people happy if I am seeing a physician regularly, but I always have to remind myself to stay quiet about the numbness so I don't end up with a whole bunch of other unnecessary medications, procedures, and questions.
Thank you doctor. I have watch most of your videos to relief neck pain & help me so lot.
I love ur channel doc... i keep sharing it with my friends and family.
I love all of your videos! So full of information. I'd like my orthopedic doc to see this one.. you explain things here that he didn't understand what I was talking about. Mostly the referred pain detail. Thanks for the help and I appreciate the videos being straightforward, not too long.
Thanks Dr Mandell! I’m a dentist and you have helped me tremendously!
Like someone else said, the breathing even feels better right away. This was very helpful! Thank you!
Your channel is amazing! I have learned so much and have been able to self heal because of this honest and detailed content. I've been sharing it with my wife and we feel fantastic. The same with you we have shared it with people we love and our family. However they don't want to listen or genuinely accept the information and apply it. The most common comment we hear from them is "Wait until you hit 50 it's all downhill from there!" What would you suggest? And would you please make a video addressing the older generations that are set in their ways and unwilling to apply these concepts and techniques! Thank you for all you're doing!!!
Thank you Dr Mandell! God Bless you
Excellent explanation. Thank u for all your work. 🙏
Thank you 😊
Good
@@jullyscainl7623 thank you God bless you
