I had a rhomboid at the left side of my body and the pain was so horrible. I tried to make a massage many times but I couldn't reach to the area of the pain and that made me crying sometimes. I asked to help from my family absolutely but they get tired at the end and the pain wasn't go. Like this I was suffering for years 💔 maybe 4 or 5 years, the pain goes and return. Also I tried the iron to make a heat on the area, you could think guys what a crazy is that😂 but the pain was unbearable 💔. Tonight I tried 2 of the exercise in the video and (buff!) like a magic I heard a voice of bone crackling (Oh my god!) I couldn't belive that, it worked! 😭 I really can't describe how I'm thankful to you Dr. Rowe 😢
I have been walking around with this pain for abt 10 years. it sucks. If it comes back. try acupuncture from someone who is specialized in muscles. I went last monday and it helped a lot!
@@drcarriemills8772 i will look into that! Thanks! I typed my comment more than a month ago. And I noticed In between acupuncture sessions the pain keeps coming back. I will keep looking for a solution until I am pain free.
My wisdom theet have been removed few years ago...it s been a difficult extraction since the dentist tryied to extract it with strenght before realize that the thoot had to be fragmented...since then i feel this kind of pain showed in the video and noone of the doctors i go it s able to find a diagnosis or even notice the problem...x ray and other rays wont show the problem and doctors would give me counter-pain pills that donnot fix the problem...im goin to try the exercise...but how can i do to point up my problems to doctors?? What kind of doctor shall i go?? ( Dent,physical terapist etc)
As a non-native speaker I have to say that everything was easy to understand as you speak slowly and clearly. I also want to thank you for the excercises, as they helped me a lot.
I'm a trucker and this started hurting while I was driving and got worse within 24 hrs. I found other videos but they didn't do much..This one helped so much, I am almost pain free within 10 minutes....thanks dude!!
Same I been in so much pain especially when I’m driving. I’ve been driving 10 years and hardly ever had pain. But ever sense I changed my diet and lost weight for some reason my rhomboid has been in pain when driving. Are there any supplements to help? These stretches helped but I think the pain will come back
@antoniop5889 I would just recommend eating more protein which would help with soreness of muscles. I Know it's hard when we drive, but I always prep before I go on the road to have good meals for at least a week. Try also walking at least a mile a day to get your muscles moving.
I know that this video is a year old and that you've already gotten a lot of positive feedback but I still wanted to let you know how much this video helped me. I've been working out most of my life and recently started having intermittent unilateral rhomboid spasms that are enormously painful. Over the last few months they would come and go. Trigger point pressure, stretching, and therapeutic massage only temporarily relieved the pain. I found your video and started doing the exercises. My pain subsided the first day. Initially the pain would recur, but to a lesser degree. After a couple of weeks of doing your exercises I am pain free. Thank you!
I was so miserable for 5 years😢 thanks so much I’m happy again I didn’t know what was going on nobody did. I wish I saw this so many years ago. Thank you so much
Have been feeling great after doing your exercise for 2-3 months. After taking a 2 months break the pain and agony returned, deservingly so. These stretches pretty much brought immediate relief. That rhomboid was tight! Thanks Doc!!
The physios where i am didnt give me many exercises for upper back. Ive had my back injury since 2016. No joke, im not done watching your video but just the two exercises in the door frame relieved so much tension. Thank you. Really. (i didnt say this to gain sympathy. Im just glad i found your videos 2 weeks ago)
That second stretch really did wonders for me. I'm only 23 years old but I'm having chronic upper back and shoulder pain for almost 2 years. Thanks a lot for your help and all your videos!
I was going to a chiro 3x a week and hardly experienced any relief. Just a few of your videos, and I've taken control of my own health and wellness! God bless you for sharing your healing gifts ❤️
I was doing the same. Was assigned a "treatment plan" from my 4th chiropractor and had $1300 and 20 visits to go. I couldn't justify the $ after 5 visits. My spine improved but the discomfort did not subside. Going to try this video
I cried from relief when that pain went away/better the first time already! Had so much pain and obsessed about it so often, I became a full-time muscle-relax-tryer. It’s “just muscle tension” but it was hell. Thanks so much!!
@@azharmarti If you mean duration of a single exercise, I do it as described in the video. If you mean how long doing it on a regular basis until seeing improvement it was instant. Because it helped me realise my habits how I'm using my body wrong, like forcefully upholding good posture with the wrong muscles, protruding my head to the front, resting my head on my neck muscles instead of my spine, not having my shoulders in their correct position, etc. Even if it's a tension you're still "doing it" - there's still a thought in your mind saying "move this there", and it's tough to get these thoughts out of your mind when it's a habit but this was my slow way upwards.
That being said, in my experience some things couldn't habe been relaxed without reseting some joints which I went to a doctor for and learned doing that a bit on my own - my vertebrae feel much more right now, but don't get addicted to cracking them like me😆
I have pain so bad in my rhomboid it makes it difficult to even stand up straight or even walk. It makes it difficult to do pretty much anything. Been going to doctors and doctors and doctors for 5 years now and this was the answer the whole time? Nobody could even tell me someone like you might be able to help me or what part was in pain or anything. Thank you so much. I hope you see this.
I always think the same!! He has a gift for teaching and you could tell he truly loves what he does! I would also like to thank you for sharing your gift 🎁 💪👏
Due to pain in right shoulder blade for about a week I couldn't breathe properly, that was excruciating painful! While watching video, I was doing those exercises and instantly got relief and enormous relaxation, literally instant relief! Thank you so much for this video! Greetings from Serbia!
Thanks Doc, I had rhomboid pain for 3 weeks now, couldn't go to the gym and couldn't even sneeze because it was so painful.. lol Your exercise has helped me a lot the last 3 days lol unbelievable !
Thank goodness I found you! I used to watch Bob & Brad but I've noticed they have used other people's thumbnails and basically copyright them on multiple occasions. I'm so glad I watched this. It's been MONTHS of a sore neck/shoulder to the point I thought I ripped a rotator cuff and was sleeping with a heating pad! Literally a day of doing this I'm FINALLY feeling some relief! You're awesome for freely sharing this information on the internet! Thank you so much!
My back is on fire! Thank you, most of the videos are the same but this was a workout video and is exactly what I need. My pain has been going on for so long and really slows me down. Thank you
This guy is a chiropractic GOD! Every time I have neck or back pain I can find one of his videos that addresses the specific issue. I perform the suggested movements or exercises and anywhere from 70%-100% of the pain instantly goes away. You're awesome!
I have had this pain in my back for years. It was my ribs it the rhomboid area. The door stretch with arms crossed literally fixed this is 10 seconds. Thank you for this channel you helped me greatly.
I have severe pain on my left shoulder. Excruciatingly pain that i had two injections and doctor said the vein twisted that blood can't flow property. Its been two months suffering for any moment . Medicine help a while , hot bag compress still the blade pain almost makes me cry. Just now, i watched your video . A sudden relief . You are a hero .Thank you so much . GOD bless you more doctor.
Holy moly man, the angel press and shoulder blade lift off exercises helped me so freakin much!!! After repeating those two exercises for like 10 minutes I felt so much relief like my muscle was finally able to relax a little bit. Almost started crying the body load was that strong. Thank you so much for this video, life saver!!!! Going to keep doing these every day until the pain is gone completely
Thank you for taking the time to help so many people. In the craziness of the world right now it’s really nice to know you’re doing such a positive thing, it’s that strong character to do good things and help people that’s often missing. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this service. You have never steered me wrong and in fact have provided great relief for various issues since I found you here on TH-cam. God Bless!
wtf!! i had a rhomboid pain on my right shoulder for years and recently been extra annoying. I did the second stretch, then something just “released”, feel like my right shoulder is no longer in compression - finally relaxed, i can’t freaking believe it😂 thanks Doc
I woke up at 3 am with the sharpest pain I was nearly in tears. I tried the first exercise for 10 seconds and the pain was relieved enough I went back to bed for the rest of the night. I will be doing all the stretches and exercises later to strengthen and prevent that pain again, but wow! Thank you so much! 🙏 It has been bothering me for a few months and I've been doing so many stretches and exercises trying to figure out the problem and the first one you presented gave me more relief in seconds. Thanks foe helping me get sleep before work and not have to take a sick day for the pain!
Nine doctors and I was never diagnosed with this! I suffered so much that I developed RSD that lasted 20 YEARS! I finally overcame the RSD, but this is definitely my weak spot. I can feel it, always tender. I did find ways to relax it, but I will definitely do this. Thank you!
You saved my life dear doctor, last night I was crying of severe pain and at 3:00 midnight I found your video and just with 2 excerise the pain gone. May God bless you and give you a very long life full of health❤️❤️❤️
But this pain never goes away I went to many doctors and do many exercises like this every day but it's been many years it hasn't healed it's made me mentally ill I think about it all the time
After years of bad computer/phone posture and working as a cook bent slightly forward all day this area has been ruining my life for a few years. Thanks to this video I know why and these stretches instantly gave relief.Thank you so much for making this!
You’ve helped me so much, eat time my back acts up I go searching for a video of yours that helps. My shoulder muscle hurt every time I moved today. It feels better now, I can’t do all the stretches as I’m physically weak but they do help so much.
I got a horrible, sharp pain in my left side of the thoracic back a week ago. I couldn't move for 6 hours, couldn't even turn to lay on the side... I was limited to a few movements for a couple of days and today I found this video, it released me of pain quite a lot and I will definitely use these stretches in the future!
I work in construction and I weight train and box. My rhomboids and mid back where starting to ache badly and this helped me alot. This is the guy right here. I’m so thankful for this video. Helped me more than you think.
These stretches are life changing for chronic pain. As a floor fitter, my shoulders are always bent forward and my back is bent all day. As a result I now have chronic rhomboid pain and light headedness. These moves are great! Thanks for this 🙏
Its been nearly 2 years now with back pain, and have tried almost every avenue of help with no results. I'm happy to say THIS is what helped! Incredible how this is free vs the thousands of dollars I spent on treatments and sessions. Thank you Dr Rowe.
Wow first time doing these and I already feel 90% relieved. I have been in pain for a few years now and it made my life a hassle. I'll try to do these twice a day. Thumbs up !
You’re a lifesaver. Programmer here. And my work week is killing me. I’m doing some body exercises/yoga + a lot of running + cycling. But somehow bad working position over the COVID time did some stuff to my body :D
Dr Rowe I've been suffering from EXCRUCIATING back shoulder blade pain & massage didn't remove much pain. I watched & follow your easy steps video & the pain relief was immediate !! I live on other side of globe so I won't have chance to visit you at clinic. But this is like you in my room - treating me. I am crying with relief. May God bless you & your business. Thank you
I have had a pain in my back for months now. I have tried several different videos and trying to organically find how to stretch the muscle on my own with no luck. This video hit exactly what I needed. I finally feel like I can stretch the exact spot that aches. Thank you so so much. I really appreciate your video.
I’ve been suffering from rhomboid pain for almost 3 weeks now and after doing those first two stretches in the doorway, I can honestly say I have instant relief. This is truly amazing. Thank you so so much
Another exercise that works is as follows: Laying flat on the floor, hold a 5 lb to 15 lb weight straight up and while keeping your arms straight, move your arms up, down, left right and in a circle left to right, right to left. You will feel so much relief as things start to pop. The focus is T3 through T7.
This doctor is the best. He describes things very well, and it’s always helpful. I’ve been in all kinds of pain like this for more than 20 years I am now 60 years old and these steps he shows really helps, very much appreciate his expertise in ability to explain things clearly 👌 Thank you very much !!
Your sessions are usually explained way more complex than needed but I will congratulate you on this one. Well done. Simple explanation with specific mitigation. I have been suffering scapula and shoulder pain on my right side for 3 months. The pain has peaked over the last couple of weeks. I thought that there might have been a rotator micro-tear. However, after performing some research I found that my shoulder pain was do to my incorrect scapula position. This is all tied to the tight muscle and stiff tendons in the scapular plane. I lacked flexibility and rotation of the upper back. Your exercises are very helpful for my recovery over the next few weeks Thank You.
All the best, Doctor. I had ramboid pain in certain positions for a year. I did your exercises a couple of times, some of them I couldn't do in more series, because they are demanding. It started to crackle and fell into place. Thank God. You're a legend.
I know that the muscles in my back have been so tight. I really like the dolphin press. Thank you Dr. Rowe for the pain relief and the wisdom from you that is so valuable.
I’m an Uber driver and I’ve been struggling with my shoulder pain. It’s been causing migraines which has been making work even more difficult. Feeling instant relief from these stretches. I’m going to make it a part of my daily routine morning and night.
I cracked a rib. The rib doesn’t hurt as much now. But this muscle was killing me. I have been slouching to protect the rib. But this muscle has been killing me. Thank you for these excercises
I've just read thr comments and i will watch thr video and pray for a miracle. I've really irritated my rhomboids from sleeping on my back. Going to sleep is so debilitating as I don't know what position i should sleep in and thr pain is excrutiating making it difficult to sleep. Perhaps this video is the answer to my prayers🙏🏾
Wow! Amazing! I've been looking at all kinds of videos but this one was the only one that worked. I was about to get a cortisol shot in my rhomboid area because I have been in so much pain but this fixed it! I've been suffering with this spasm rhomboid pain for years that would come out of know where and put my whole back out of commission for 2 to 3 days..Simply amazing! Thank you so much for this!
Incredible. I have extreme rhomboid pain from lifting my baby with weak muscles. Now To ask God to help me faithfully carry out these exercises to strengthen my body! Thank you
What an instant relief, is this some sort of joke or what?! I just did the first two activities and one plank and the pain is gone. This has been going on for over a month, I can’t describe how hectic the pain was, Thank you so much for the service, and may God bless you!
God bless you man i had this pain for like 1 and half year and i didnt know what i have to do until i saw ur video like 20 min before i did it and now the pain is gone and bone sound while trying to move my shoulder just disapear ill continue doing it for a month 😂❤❤❤
I have a painful right rhomboid (I'm assuming it's from years of manual car shifting and throwing out my arm many times as a kid playing baseball, as well as a general slouch), and I've neglected trying to alleviate that pain for a long time. I wasn't even confident this was going to work but I was wrong, this was amazing thank you so much
Any client I ever treated the Rhomboids were always a great source of pain for them, also advised similar exercises to alleviate that pain 💯 Thankyou 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise. I experience much less pain in my daily life because of your thorough explanations and examples.
I just did a standing stretch and when leaning my arms to the left, I felt a sharp muscle pain in my thoracic spine area, to the left of my spine... then almost any movement was painful and even had trouble breathing a bit. These exercises helped a lot, thank you :)
I have chronic migranes from how tight my shoulders and upper back are. This helped significantly. I also followed your one for trapezius too. Man, o man, did I get instant relief, and my throbbing migrane has subsided.
When I roll my shoulder, that area under my shoulderblade always makes multiple popping sounds. It has been like that for at least 10 years, although it doesn't really hurt normally. Periodically the whole shoulder, neck and upper arm on that side is too painful to move for a few days or weeks. No doctor or fysio can explain my noisy shoulderblade. Watching this video, I feel hopeful for the first time that maybe I can finally solve issue. Thank you so much!!
I get popping, clicking and crashing sounds in same area (and some others), my fysio says it's normal and some people make more noices than others, as long as there is no pain accompanying the sounds its all good. Sadly i have lots of pain too😔
I'm 63 and have had this pain on and off ( mostly on) since I was in my early twenties. I did 2 of the exercises and it went away! definitely will continue with these stretches. Thank you!!!
I can tell within a few minutes of watching that this is exactly what I’ve needed since a neck injury in 1996. Going to try these as soon as I get home.
I think this is the pain that I get and have been getting for decades. Could this be the video that brings healing. I'll know in time. I've been praying to God for there to be a fix for this pain.
About twenty years ago I was doing some boring, static factory work and after the shift ended my shoulder felt funny. Over time, it has become worse and progressed to this deep ache which I have ignored and learned to live with. It ached when I breathed and the little finger on my right hand was constantly either tingling and or numbish. I play darts and every throw was annoyingly painful. Using a mouse on the computer was also a painful affair, so much so I used to use my weaker left-hand. Sleeping also became troublesome and I used to keep turning to alleviate the deep ache in my shoulder. About two weeks ago whilst gardening I put my back out and having done this twice before was familiar with the hobbling around bit for several weeks til it usually sorted itself out. The pain in my lower right back accentuated the pain deep in my shoulder so this time I decided rather than to suffer the slings and arrows etc to google the shit out of it. This video was the second one I found (If the first one had worked I wouldn't be here) and oh boy did it change my world. I know this sounds like an advert but I assure you as someone who lived with an effed up back most of my adult life, the gratitude I have for Dr. Rowe is immeasurable and the reason I write at length. I tried the first exercise (doorway stretch) and that helped a bit. When I did the second exercise (dynamic upper back opener), as soon as I raised my elbow outwards, I felt a huge CLICK in my back. I stood up and rotated my neck and it crunched a bit. The pain was...gone. My shoulder felt like it had been oiled by some mythical Himalayan oil virgins. I could move my whole shoulder effortlessly with absolutely no twinge of pain. I was quite frankly, fucking amazed. Also the pain in my lower back had gone and instead I had muscular pain on the left side which I imagine is the result of me favouring one side for nearly two weeks. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I mowed and strimmed my lawn today and it is all thanks to you Dr. Rowe. Thank you so much. I never thought that clicking on your video would solve my problem but it did and for that I am really and truly grateful. P.S. Also, I played darts last night with my new pain-free shoulder and as it turns out I am just shit at the game.
I now know what the pain I feel is coming from. It mostly started after having my arm in a brace after bicep surgery. I had to balance the brace while sleeping, and it would pull in the area you are describing. Thanks 😊
been suffering chronic pain in this region for years due to the nature of my job, these defiantly help with the pain, last 3 nights haven't slept a wink and lying down on the bed is not an option because I could not get back up. it was so bad I had to go off work twice in 3 months with the pain . after doing the first two exercises I feel some relief, the other ones are off the table for now as I cannot even get that low to the floor because I will be stuck there in agony for hours. so I will continue to do them as my pain has been going on for 5 years now and I cannot live like this anymore.
The pain of my muscle group here was unbearable & nothing else seamed to be working. This had excellent clear instruction and was effective & very helpful. THANK YOU so much for giving us this video!
Like so many others have said it’s been off and on pain for years. Sometimes so bad it’s hard to lift my head off the pillow in bed or turn my head in car. Veterinarian here who does a lot of orthopedic surgery posturing/hovering over operating table… not the best posture. No joke by the second set exercises and I feel better already and plan to continue the stretches and exercises daily. Thank you!
Thanks for the amazing video. I don't have pain in my back, but these muscls are very tensed and they give me headache. This is especially annoying as I try to build muscle and work out, but I cant lot of times because the muscles are so tensed. I will focus in stretching now to loosen them up.
Just did this and ALREADY feeling relieved- I’ve been going to the chiropractor for upper back pain with no help- I think I need to find a better chiro- or maybe doing this daily will be the solution! 🎉THANK YOU
U did it! This one! My shoulder has been sore for so, so, so, so, so long. Like 20 years :'( This isn't the first spine fix help me with. My neck. U helped fix then both! I have been doing nunchucks for a couple years now too. They helped. I tried swimming, but nunchucks are better. They helped a lot a lot. You helped crack my neck and shoulder in places I didn't know cracked.
@@DrRowe I'm a huge fan. There has been a few other videos of yours that have fixed different neck and shoulder pain. I've been watching for this one. I think it's sorta, all cracked out now. There's no more spots to fix. Love ya work. You're an angel.
I am absolutely grateful for these secrets of rhomboid pain management. They, do, indeed, work instantly - only need repetitions through the day, perhaps because I still am not done the strengthening. I wish to know what causes these deep, small, hard-to-reach muscles to be so tense and rock-hard when I try with massage? I have an active lifestyle and yet the shoulder belt muscles are stiff and sore - the romboid and trapezoid (and the erectus capitis muscles) are terrible. I would like to know what causes stiffness and sore in the back and back-neck muscles generally speaking. What I'd like to see: an exercise that would bring back the lumbar curvature of the spine - it seems that it's getting flattened out with age, yet I don't admit that we cannot do a thing about it.

Is it just my rhomboid that's causing shoulder pain neck pain struggling to turn head to look over shoulder when driving also pain in skull

Definitely try the strengthening exercises!

I’m trying out this
I have pain so bad in my rhomboid it makes it difficult to even stand up straight or even walk. It makes it difficult to do pretty much anything. Been going to doctors and doctors and doctors for 5 years now and this was the answer the whole time? Nobody could even tell me someone like you might be able to help me or what part was in pain or anything. Thank you so much. I hope you see this.
For me I found out I have a very weak shoulder. This helped me a lot and made me realize I need to focus on strengthening my back.
You are very good at instructing and demonstrating at the same time... that is a real gift... thank you for sharing that gift with us!
It's not as easy as it looks 😂 Thanks for watching!
I always think the same!! He has a gift for teaching and you could tell he truly loves what he does! I would also like to thank you for sharing your gift 🎁 💪👏
Due to pain in right shoulder blade for about a week I couldn't breathe properly, that was excruciating painful!
While watching video, I was doing those exercises and instantly got relief and enormous relaxation, literally instant relief!
Thank you so much for this video! Greetings from Serbia!
Glad you’re getting instant relief!
Thanks Doc, I had rhomboid pain for 3 weeks now, couldn't go to the gym and couldn't even sneeze because it was so painful.. lol Your exercise has helped me a lot the last 3 days lol unbelievable !
Thanks for watching!
I've never felt this kind of pain before. Had no idea what it was. The push-up one gave a lot of relief. Thank you!
Thank goodness I found you! I used to watch Bob & Brad but I've noticed they have used other people's thumbnails and basically copyright them on multiple occasions. I'm so glad I watched this. It's been MONTHS of a sore neck/shoulder to the point I thought I ripped a rotator cuff and was sleeping with a heating pad! Literally a day of doing this I'm FINALLY feeling some relief! You're awesome for freely sharing this information on the internet! Thank you so much!
There’s no denying that this guy is on another level.
Thanks doc you rock!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
My back is on fire! Thank you, most of the videos are the same but this was a workout video and is exactly what I need. My pain has been going on for so long and really slows me down. Thank you
This guy is a chiropractic GOD! Every time I have neck or back pain I can find one of his videos that addresses the specific issue. I perform the suggested movements or exercises and anywhere from 70%-100% of the pain instantly goes away. You're awesome!
Glad the exercises are helping you!
I have had this pain in my back for years. It was my ribs it the rhomboid area. The door stretch with arms crossed literally fixed this is 10 seconds. Thank you for this channel you helped me greatly.
That’s great to hear!
I have severe pain on my left shoulder. Excruciatingly pain that i had two injections and doctor said the vein twisted that blood can't flow property. Its been two months suffering for any moment . Medicine help a while , hot bag compress still the blade pain almost makes me cry.
Just now, i watched your video . A sudden relief .
You are a hero .Thank you so much .
GOD bless you more doctor.
Holy moly man, the angel press and shoulder blade lift off exercises helped me so freakin much!!! After repeating those two exercises for like 10 minutes I felt so much relief like my muscle was finally able to relax a little bit. Almost started crying the body load was that strong. Thank you so much for this video, life saver!!!! Going to keep doing these every day until the pain is gone completely
Thank you for taking the time to help so many people. In the craziness of the world right now it’s really nice to know you’re doing such a positive thing, it’s that strong character to do good things and help people that’s often missing. Thank you.
Well thank you, and thanks for watching!
AYYYYYY_
MEN!!!!‼️
Thank you so much for this service. You have never steered me wrong and in fact have provided great relief for various issues since I found you here on TH-cam. God Bless!
Hope these exercises help you too, and thanks again for watching!
I have sifted through many hours worth of self help videos here and I would like to say that you are the best I've found. Thank you from England.
Glad you found the channel, and thanks for watching!
wtf!! i had a rhomboid pain on my right shoulder for years and recently been extra annoying. I did the second stretch, then something just “released”, feel like my right shoulder is no longer in compression - finally relaxed, i can’t freaking believe it😂 thanks Doc
Glad you're getting relief!
As a trucker my rhomboid tightens up because of shifting gears over the years. These are the best stretches ever came accross!! Thanks for the vid👍🏽
Glad you're getting relief!
I woke up at 3 am with the sharpest pain I was nearly in tears. I tried the first exercise for 10 seconds and the pain was relieved enough I went back to bed for the rest of the night. I will be doing all the stretches and exercises later to strengthen and prevent that pain again, but wow! Thank you so much! 🙏 It has been bothering me for a few months and I've been doing so many stretches and exercises trying to figure out the problem and the first one you presented gave me more relief in seconds. Thanks foe helping me get sleep before work and not have to take a sick day for the pain!
Nine doctors and I was never diagnosed with this! I suffered so much that I developed RSD that lasted 20 YEARS! I finally overcame the RSD, but this is definitely my weak spot. I can feel it, always tender. I did find ways to relax it, but I will definitely do this. Thank you!
Hope the exercises help you!
You saved my life dear doctor, last night I was crying of severe pain and at 3:00 midnight I found your video and just with 2 excerise the pain gone. May God bless you and give you a very long life full of health❤️❤️❤️
Glad it helped!
But this pain never goes away I went to many doctors and do many exercises like this every day but it's been many years it hasn't healed it's made me mentally ill I think about it all the time
@@rahilxdkhan5050 for me it has gone forever.I dont know maybe my problem was another thing
After years of bad computer/phone posture and working as a cook bent slightly forward all day this area has been ruining my life for a few years. Thanks to this video I know why and these stretches instantly gave relief.Thank you so much for making this!
Thanks for watching!
You’ve helped me so much, eat time my back acts up I go searching for a video of yours that helps. My shoulder muscle hurt every time I moved today. It feels better now, I can’t do all the stretches as I’m physically weak but they do help so much.
I got a horrible, sharp pain in my left side of the thoracic back a week ago. I couldn't move for 6 hours, couldn't even turn to lay on the side... I was limited to a few movements for a couple of days and today I found this video, it released me of pain quite a lot and I will definitely use these stretches in the future!
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
I work in construction and I weight train and box. My rhomboids and mid back where starting to ache badly and this helped me alot. This is the guy right here. I’m so thankful for this video. Helped me more than you think.
These stretches are life changing for chronic pain. As a floor fitter, my shoulders are always bent forward and my back is bent all day. As a result I now have chronic rhomboid pain and light headedness.
These moves are great!
Thanks for this 🙏
Thanks so much for watching!
I just broke my doorframe...
😂
😅😊
Awesome!! 😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂Ooh God
😂
Its been nearly 2 years now with back pain, and have tried almost every avenue of help with no results. I'm happy to say THIS is what helped! Incredible how this is free vs the thousands of dollars I spent on treatments and sessions. Thank you Dr Rowe.
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
The pain along this part of my body got so bad, it felt like it was affecting my breathing. I appreciate this video. It helped.
Thanks for watching!
Wow first time doing these and I already feel 90% relieved. I have been in pain for a few years now and it made my life a hassle. I'll try to do these twice a day. Thumbs up !
You’re a lifesaver. Programmer here. And my work week is killing me. I’m doing some body exercises/yoga + a lot of running + cycling. But somehow bad working position over the COVID time did some stuff to my body :D
Dr Rowe I've been suffering from EXCRUCIATING back shoulder blade pain & massage didn't remove much pain. I watched & follow your easy steps video & the pain relief was immediate !! I live on other side of globe so I won't have chance to visit you at clinic. But this is like you in my room - treating me. I am crying with relief. May God bless you & your business. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I have had a pain in my back for months now. I have tried several different videos and trying to organically find how to stretch the muscle on my own with no luck. This video hit exactly what I needed. I finally feel like I can stretch the exact spot that aches. Thank you so so much. I really appreciate your video.
I’ve been suffering from rhomboid pain for almost 3 weeks now and after doing those first two stretches in the doorway, I can honestly say I have instant relief. This is truly amazing. Thank you so so much
i am so thankful for your help it has changed my life
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
Another exercise that works is as follows:
Laying flat on the floor, hold a 5 lb to 15 lb weight straight up and while keeping your arms straight, move your arms up, down, left right and in a circle left to right, right to left. You will feel so much relief as things start to pop. The focus is T3 through T7.
Took a new job training as a florist and having had lots of pain in these muscles. Definitely going to do these stretches! Thank you!!!
Hope the exercises help you!
This doctor is the best. He describes things very well, and it’s always helpful. I’ve been in all kinds of pain like this for more than 20 years I am now 60 years old and these steps he shows really helps, very much appreciate his expertise in ability to explain things clearly 👌
Thank you very much !!
The noise I made was insane
Thanks
Thank you, Dr. Rowe. Your video with exercises was very helpful. Our communities need you.
Thanks for watching!
Your sessions are usually explained way more complex than needed but I will congratulate you on this one. Well done. Simple explanation with specific mitigation. I have been suffering scapula and shoulder pain on my right side for 3 months. The pain has peaked over the last couple of weeks. I thought that there might have been a rotator micro-tear. However, after performing some research I found that my shoulder pain was do to my incorrect scapula position. This is all tied to the tight muscle and stiff tendons in the scapular plane. I lacked flexibility and rotation of the upper back. Your exercises are very helpful for my recovery over the next few weeks
Thank You.
Thank you, and I hope the exercises make a big difference for you.
All the best, Doctor. I had ramboid pain in certain positions for a year. I did your exercises a couple of times, some of them I couldn't do in more series, because they are demanding. It started to crackle and fell into place. Thank God. You're a legend.
Thanks for watching!
Between having thoracic pain for weeks! These exercises helped immediately!
Great to hear you’re getting relief!
I know that the muscles in my back have been so tight. I really like the dolphin press.
Thank you Dr. Rowe for the pain relief and the wisdom from you that is so valuable.
You recommended I try these for my severe pain. All these moves work brilliantly. I truly appreciate you.
Thanks so much for watching!
Breaking me out of this prison of pain. Appreciated.
Thanks so much for watching!
I’m an Uber driver and I’ve been struggling with my shoulder pain. It’s been causing migraines which has been making work even more difficult. Feeling instant relief from these stretches. I’m going to make it a part of my daily routine morning and night.
I cracked a rib. The rib doesn’t hurt as much now. But this muscle was killing me. I have been slouching to protect the rib. But this muscle has been killing me. Thank you for these excercises
I've just read thr comments and i will watch thr video and pray for a miracle. I've really irritated my rhomboids from sleeping on my back. Going to sleep is so debilitating as I don't know what position i should sleep in and thr pain is excrutiating making it difficult to sleep. Perhaps this video is the answer to my prayers🙏🏾
Being a photographer and videographer I truly thank you for this exercises 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Amazing! I've been looking at all kinds of videos but this one was the only one that worked. I was about to get a cortisol shot in my rhomboid area because I have been in so much pain but this fixed it! I've been suffering with this spasm rhomboid pain for years that would come out of know where and put my whole back out of commission for 2 to 3 days..Simply amazing! Thank you so much for this!
Awesome, felt the difference with the first 2 stretches. Thankyou so much
Great to hear!
Incredible. I have extreme rhomboid pain from lifting my baby with weak muscles.
Now To ask God to help me faithfully carry out these exercises to strengthen my body!
Thank you
Thank you Dr. Rowe! Your videos are so appreciated beyond words!
Shared!
Thanks for watching and sharing!
You're welcome fellow Michigander!
Looking forward to the next one!
so grateful TH-cam recommended this, I wasn't sure which muscles was the one causing me issues or how to fix it !
What an instant relief, is this some sort of joke or what?! I just did the first two activities and one plank and the pain is gone. This has been going on for over a month, I can’t describe how hectic the pain was, Thank you so much for the service, and may God bless you!
That's great to hear, glad you found the video!
This exercises are life saving. I was instantly relieved from severe shoulder blade pain. So grateful 🙏 God bless you richly.
This was the video I was looking for! This was a miracle
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
God bless you man i had this pain for like 1 and half year and i didnt know what i have to do until i saw ur video like 20 min before i did it and now the pain is gone and bone sound while trying to move my shoulder just disapear ill continue doing it for a month 😂❤❤❤
I have a painful right rhomboid (I'm assuming it's from years of manual car shifting and throwing out my arm many times as a kid playing baseball, as well as a general slouch), and I've neglected trying to alleviate that pain for a long time. I wasn't even confident this was going to work but I was wrong, this was amazing thank you so much
Glad it helped you!
Any client I ever treated the Rhomboids were always a great source of pain for them, also advised similar exercises to alleviate that pain 💯 Thankyou 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
@@DrRowe You are very welcome 🌻
Very effective. I've only gotten to the first exercise but so far I am not dissapointed. 🤩
Hope the other exercises help too!
You weren't kidding about that "30 seconds" part. I'll definitely be making a routine out of these stretches/exercises. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise. I experience much less pain in my daily life because of your thorough explanations and examples.
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
24 weeks pregnant and this came on so strong. Your video helped me in seconds. Life saver. Thank you forever ❤
Glad it helped and thanks for watching!
I just did a standing stretch and when leaning my arms to the left, I felt a sharp muscle pain in my thoracic spine area, to the left of my spine... then almost any movement was painful and even had trouble breathing a bit. These exercises helped a lot, thank you :)
Thanks for watching!
I have chronic migranes from how tight my shoulders and upper back are. This helped significantly. I also followed your one for trapezius too. Man, o man, did I get instant relief, and my throbbing migrane has subsided.
When I roll my shoulder, that area under my shoulderblade always makes multiple popping sounds. It has been like that for at least 10 years, although it doesn't really hurt normally. Periodically the whole shoulder, neck and upper arm on that side is too painful to move for a few days or weeks. No doctor or fysio can explain my noisy shoulderblade. Watching this video, I feel hopeful for the first time that maybe I can finally solve issue. Thank you so much!!
Please give us an update in a week or two.
Same problem with me what to do mri
Same but instead of popping sounds I get clicking sounds lol
Two week update needed. :-)
I get popping, clicking and crashing sounds in same area (and some others), my fysio says it's normal and some people make more noices than others, as long as there is no pain accompanying the sounds its all good. Sadly i have lots of pain too😔
I'm 63 and have had this pain on and off ( mostly on) since I was in my early twenties. I did 2 of the exercises and it went away! definitely will continue with these stretches. Thank you!!!
as a physio, i think these a really great exercices, i will use some of them with my patients. Thank you
Thanks for watching and sharing!
I can tell within a few minutes of watching that this is exactly what I’ve needed since a neck injury in 1996. Going to try these as soon as I get home.
OMG this video is a lifesaver 😭🙏🏻
Glad you found the video!
I think this is the pain that I get and have been getting for decades. Could this be the video that brings healing. I'll know in time. I've been praying to God for there to be a fix for this pain.
About twenty years ago I was doing some boring, static factory work and after the shift ended my shoulder felt funny. Over time, it has become worse and progressed to this deep ache which I have ignored and learned to live with. It ached when I breathed and the little finger on my right hand was constantly either tingling and or numbish. I play darts and every throw was annoyingly painful. Using a mouse on the computer was also a painful affair, so much so I used to use my weaker left-hand. Sleeping also became troublesome and I used to keep turning to alleviate the deep ache in my shoulder.
About two weeks ago whilst gardening I put my back out and having done this twice before was familiar with the hobbling around bit for several weeks til it usually sorted itself out. The pain in my lower right back accentuated the pain deep in my shoulder so this time I decided rather than to suffer the slings and arrows etc to google the shit out of it. This video was the second one I found (If the first one had worked I wouldn't be here) and oh boy did it change my world. I know this sounds like an advert but I assure you as someone who lived with an effed up back most of my adult life, the gratitude I have for Dr. Rowe is immeasurable and the reason I write at length.
I tried the first exercise (doorway stretch) and that helped a bit. When I did the second exercise (dynamic upper back opener), as soon as I raised my elbow outwards, I felt a huge CLICK in my back. I stood up and rotated my neck and it crunched a bit. The pain was...gone. My shoulder felt like it had been oiled by some mythical Himalayan oil virgins. I could move my whole shoulder effortlessly with absolutely no twinge of pain. I was quite frankly, fucking amazed. Also the pain in my lower back had gone and instead I had muscular pain on the left side which I imagine is the result of me favouring one side for nearly two weeks.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I mowed and strimmed my lawn today and it is all thanks to you Dr. Rowe. Thank you so much. I never thought that clicking on your video would solve my problem but it did and for that I am really and truly grateful.
P.S. Also, I played darts last night with my new pain-free shoulder and as it turns out I am just shit at the game.
really good stuff. finally someone who is just not repeating what all the others have already showed.
Thanks for watching!
I now know what the pain I feel is coming from. It mostly started after having my arm in a brace after bicep surgery. I had to balance the brace while sleeping, and it would pull in the area you are describing. Thanks 😊
My pain come also from a bicep injury
me as well what did you do to help i feel shoulder tightness on the opposite side then surgery
Thank you Dr Rowe. Your Rhomboid exercises are life-saving. Really indebted to your sharing for my pain-free moments!
Glad the exercises are helping you and thanks for watching!
You are my saver, great help for me. Thank you so much. I will pray for you. From Russia with love
Hello and thanks for watching!
been suffering chronic pain in this region for years due to the nature of my job, these defiantly help with the pain, last 3 nights haven't slept a wink and lying down on the bed is not an option because I could not get back up. it was so bad I had to go off work twice in 3 months with the pain . after doing the first two exercises I feel some relief, the other ones are off the table for now as I cannot even get that low to the floor because I will be stuck there in agony for hours. so I will continue to do them as my pain has been going on for 5 years now and I cannot live like this anymore.
I have all that pain before .. ty for your vids
Hope these exercises help you!
The pain of my muscle group here was unbearable & nothing else seamed to be working. This had excellent clear instruction and was effective & very helpful. THANK YOU so much for giving us this video!
So grateful for your channel 🙏
You explain everything in a clear easy to understand way. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
Hello and thanks for watching!
Like so many others have said it’s been off and on pain for years. Sometimes so bad it’s hard to lift my head off the pillow in bed or turn my head in car. Veterinarian here who does a lot of orthopedic surgery posturing/hovering over operating table… not the best posture. No joke by the second set exercises and I feel better already and plan to continue the stretches and exercises daily. Thank you!
Thanks for the amazing video. I don't have pain in my back, but these muscls are very tensed and they give me headache. This is especially annoying as I try to build muscle and work out, but I cant lot of times because the muscles are so tensed. I will focus in stretching now to loosen them up.
Please give us an update soon.
Just did this and ALREADY feeling relieved- I’ve been going to the chiropractor for upper back pain with no help- I think I need to find a better chiro- or maybe doing this daily will be the solution! 🎉THANK YOU
U did it! This one! My shoulder has been sore for so, so, so, so, so long. Like 20 years :'(
This isn't the first spine fix help me with. My neck. U helped fix then both!
I have been doing nunchucks for a couple years now too. They helped. I tried swimming, but nunchucks are better. They helped a lot a lot.
You helped crack my neck and shoulder in places I didn't know cracked.
Hope it helps, and please give us an update soon.
@@DrRowe I'm a huge fan. There has been a few other videos of yours that have fixed different neck and shoulder pain.
I've been watching for this one.
I think it's sorta, all cracked out now.
There's no more spots to fix.
Love ya work. You're an angel.
Omg. Such a relief. Just came from my doctor, he wanted to x-ray and cortison injection. So glad i found this video. This fixed me right up.
Just in time doc, i needed this
Hope it helps!
I am absolutely grateful for these secrets of rhomboid pain management. They, do, indeed, work instantly - only need repetitions through the day, perhaps because I still am not done the strengthening. I wish to know what causes these deep, small, hard-to-reach muscles to be so tense and rock-hard when I try with massage? I have an active lifestyle and yet the shoulder belt muscles are stiff and sore - the romboid and trapezoid (and the erectus capitis muscles) are terrible. I would like to know what causes stiffness and sore in the back and back-neck muscles generally speaking. What I'd like to see: an exercise that would bring back the lumbar curvature of the spine - it seems that it's getting flattened out with age, yet I don't admit that we cannot do a thing about it.
