gooday mate, im 70 broke my neck at 9, pain all my life a busy full on life too, needed a variaty of pain killers all my life as well. mildly did my version of your exercises in the early evening, honestly an ache until later in the evening then a warm pleasant feeling below my head. following day went about my usual activities, had lunch and realised i had been unaware of my neck so far all day, first time im sure. this is the first time ive walked around with my mind in grin mode, if you know what i mean. thank you so much for opening up my mind to a realistic method of getting on with life. i wish i knew this before.
I am a Certified Massage Therapist and I recommend your channel to my clients for exercise tips. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!! ❤️👍🏼🙏
I cannot believe it! Tonight my headache over one eye was particularly bad and I was feeling a bit desperate. I had an inkling it might be something to do with tight shoulder and neck muscles, but this video practically read my mind, it just jumped into my youtube feed and I had not searched for anything to do with it. Miracle!! I tried the spoon technique and it was very effective, I carried on with shoulder and neck massages and I feel so much better. My headache is gone. Thank you so much for your no nonsense approach and for appearing out of nowhere. Sorry for long review, just feel so relieved!!
Yes, I feel the same, it's like my left eye's gonna pop out because the left side of my neck is si sore and stiff, and it's only bt chance when I turn on the youtube I find this guy explaining how to release muscle pains on the neck. I am so thankful I watch it.
Sammneee!!! The pain felt like it was literally tugging at my eye from the inside. I almost cried after doing these because it’s the first time I felt relief after five days of no sleep and lots of tears and pain killers. I wish I’d looked up this video sooner
Stumbled into this, I am 23 and for the last 2 years my neck has been dull, aching and grating. After using these exercises I have felt instant relief for the first time in these two years. Thankyou so much.
Jacob my neck began causing my pain at 23--after I was hit by a semi. I will be 70 next year and only became worse. I so hope that these help you and you can find the exact cause of your pain. I had to retire early--a couple of years ago because the neck -arm pain also causes me so much dizziness I fall on MY patients. I really DO miss working
I'm still struggling to fix my ongoing neck issues, but I've also found that press ups against a wall (hands at shoulder height, feet about 18 - 24 inches away from wall, squeezing shoulder blades together as I sink upper body towards the wall) really helps when it starts to affect the back of my skull. For anyone who might also benefit.
Thank you. I’ve had pain at the base of my skull, chronically, for years. I did as instructed on the video, with the big spoon, with the video. Whew, much pain relief!!! It’s like a big breath of fresh air. I had almost forgotten the feeling of no pain and stiffness. WOW!!!! Thank you so much. Texas
Omgosh...I am in tears I have been bed ridden for 4 days unable to move my body because of a lupus flare up which has my muscles flared up in knots.These back muscle excercises have been a life saver I'm crying 😢 because the relief of pain has been incredible...thank you so much for these Videos!
You just saved me today. I had a stiff neck and back after lifting some weights incorrectly for about 2 weeks and after watching your video, just within 5 minutes I could feel my body almost returning to normal. Thanks you.

I can’t thank you enough for your experience and suggestions. I have been suffering with neck pain and severe daily headaches for a very long time and tried every way to get rid of them. When I saw this video, I literally felt like crying as this was one more thing I could try thank would give me some hope. I didn’t know how I could cope with these symptoms for the rest of my life. I have severe anxiety and try staying as busy as possible but these symptoms prevent me from enjoying anything. I hold and rub my forehead and the lower back of the head all day long so watching your video targeting these areas made me so happy. I am 64 years old and now will be a dedicated subscriber. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I had base of skull neck pain and a head ache for 3 days straight. I found this video and did the stretches along with you and it took away most the pain right then and there. Now hours later my neck pain and head ache are 100% gone!! Thank you for the helpful video! 😃
@@DrRowe turns out its occipital neuralgia according to my doc... the nausea and fever spikes are from sudden but short inflammations or smth (also the reason why its only on the left side)
Your 1st demonstration was exactly what was needed! I felt knots on both sides of my upper neck below my skull and kept pressing down on it with the handle of the spoon until the bumps were gone! First time they have ever been worked out and my neck feels incredible. I also never thought about blood flow being valuable for healing. Thank you for all your work and videos. Your channel deserves millions of subscribers and views and all the greatness headed your way 🙏
I've had intermittent neck pain for the past 5 years whenever I would do certain activities, steadily getting worse, to the point where the pain was interfering with everyday activities. I finally realized it was tendonitis and these stretching exercises, 3x per day for the past two weeks, are keeping the pain at bay. What a relief to have such a simple resolution!
Where nothing has EVER worked before! Thank you dr Rowe for relief of a sub occipital headache that I’ve been suffering with for over 3 months now. Please don’t stop with these extremely helpful videos. I’m am beyond grateful!
Had very sore neck at base of skull and the first exercise with the spoon brought huge relief. There was a big gritty area which was zapped away by this method. I can definitely notice immediate difference when I look from side to side. Thank you so much .. you’re always my go to doctor for any muscular relief. So blessed to have found you.
I cannot tell you which exercise helped me the most - I tried all of them! But I can tell you I can comfortable turn my head left, which was almost impossible prior to the exercise. 2 chiropractor offices and over 20 visits - I have not received as much relief as you provided in 10 minutes. Thank you!
Dang, did only one repetition of most of these and I can already feel a huge relief! I've suffered from pains at the base of the skull for more than a decade. I'll be using these to help with the pain and discomfort on a daily basis.
I can DITTO that reaction. Boy did this stretch helped immediately !! No Meds, no huge & expensive equipment, and was never relayed to me by any of the 6 Chiros I have visited for the past 12 years. This dr. does emphasize Forward head Posture, many on the Interweb do. They warn that if you think Diabetes is at epidemic levels, Wait until the affects of Tech Neck hits the population. Sitting in front of a PC, looking down at your phone constantly, poor Posture in genertal, and especially if you have long Commuter drives (like me for 48 years). I'm 70 YO, and suffer with Chronic pain / stiffness / tempral headaches/ TMJ/ Chronic Sinusistis, Tinnitus, IBS / GERD , even incontinence - all stemming form the Cervical Spine.
This video saves my neck.. I've been experiencing neck pain for a couple of weeks now and I was anxious about it and came across this video. Such a great relief.. Thank you for sharing this amazing routine..
This is a lifesaver....Ive been suffering from this horrible neck pain (possibly due to poor sleeping posture) in the last couple of days which caused me migraine attacks...Contemplating on calling my G.P then came across this video..tried all the exercises at 3 am....And holy guacamole it worked..the headache gone along with my neck pain...I cant thank you enough for being a blessing to everyone..Keep it up and more power to you channel..Ofcourse I'd be telling my patients and colleagues at work about your channel🙂🙂😃
I didn’t know tight muscles in the neck would cause sinus headaches. The doctor told me once that I was having a sinus migraine. Very horrible. But he said just to use saline and nothing about neck.
@@michaelspears4947 just a bad flu bug (not covid). Have suffered with back and neck pain for years, ever since a motorbike accident. But this pain, on rear right side of my neck was unbearable. So glad I found this video
Thank you Doc. I am 55 yrs old and work on computers for program development. Sometimes I am working 8 to 10 hours at a stratch. I developed constant neck pain at the base of the neck, exactly the same areas you are showing in your video. I tried the techniques and I feel a lot better and it is improving. I will continue as just one 10 session has reduced the stiffness and lossening up the tight muscles. Thank you very much for this very helpful tips. God bless you.
I too work in a call center and add being an avid gamer off work and I can relate this much being in front of the desk and sitting for hours. hoping to hear the update as well. take care.
I've been awake since 3 am with a terrible headache and no amount of pain killers helped with the pain but these exercises worked a treat. Liked and subscribed.
In tears because this has gotten so bad that my eyes are puffed up, sinuses acting up, could barely interact with others bc all I can think about is the pain.... Thank you sir 😔❤❤❤
It happened to me for the first time, and by using ur technique, it literally got fixed in minutes. cannot thank u enough for being so genuine and sharing so many details for free. May God give u goodness and His Blessings. amen.
I’ve watched dozens of videos on this issue over years, and they all lowered my opinion of chiropractors because none came close to helping and seem full of bro science. This is the best video I’ve ever found. Thank you. I’ve literally had this headache for over 24 hours and had been been vomiting from the nausea and trying to stretch for four hours when I found it. I’ve never felt such a glorious stretch in the occipital muscles before and my headache is gone.
I’ve been trying to ice & “nurse” my neck, spine/back & headache for most of the day at home. While sitting in my car waiting for kids to get out of school i came across your video. Just doing the stretches while watching you, i can feel a difference in my neck. My headache is slowly dissipating. Thank you for sharing these techniques!
I’ve been through PT 6 times in the past 4 years. Occipital neuralgia caused by over tightened neck and back/shoulder muscles. Botox for migraines, extra massage therapy. I wasn’t shown most of these stretches/massage this way. So never got relief. THANK YOU!
I'm getting nuts...My neck hasn't felt any pain relief since 18 years. I followed all your instructions and right now I feel like 20 again. Thank you so much, cuz nothing had worked. I tried some sport techniques, I went to a professional massage, my partner tried to massage me, but I never had the opportunity to get to two extremly painful spots. Thanks a billion times!!!
Thank you so much my Sister was having terrible neck pain and could hardly turn her head. I came across these and shared them with her and in one day one side of her neck is no longer hurting and she’s working on the other! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge!
I have had a headache for four days and this video has clearly shown me that it is my neck, not my head! The right side of my neck in particular, thank you so much!
Took my wisdom tooth out two weeks ago and the pain had been horrible. This is the third wisdom tooth I removed and the first two didn’t hurt at all. After I did the spoon thing, the pain disappeared and didn’t come back. Thank you 🙏🏾
Love this man, everything you have done to this point has relieved me of so many cramps and muscle aches. Don't know why the dislikes on the vids. When he deserves so much more credit... The Best there is and not gonna change. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Massive neck pain for nearly 5 years constantly, been to hospitals doctors and physios had scans xrays and ultrasounds was told its arthritis, with no other options i turned to youtube this atleast gives temporary pain relief Thankyou so much.
Another helpful video. I’ve been having neck pains which affects my eyes for days now. I’ve been taking pain meds but it didn’t help at all. Thanks to this video, I feel so relieved. A life saver! Thank you.
That was so helpful for me as I have been suffering with neck, scalene, SCM and weird frontal headaches. I will continue to go back to this video as I found some relief already.
I am so glad I found this video! It was exactly what I needed. I hold a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders and causes a lot of headaches. I’m looking forward to using all of these exercises.
i've been following you for years now i remember when i was watching your videos constantly to relieve pain and all your stretches and massages really work it's honestly amazing
You are amazing! I broke my neck in two places last October, and the pain, and swelling is unbearable! Those neck Stretches with the spoon, in just a few minutes I couldn't believe it. I cannot even hold my neck up and now the tightness and horrible pain subsided!!! THANK YOU, thank you!!!!
This helped so much after a headache came on fast today. I feel like something is wrong with me, some stretches hurt really bad by my lymph nodes in the neck and my head throbs if I lay on my stomach or put my head down (been like this my entire life) - but I was able to do most of these stretches and they helped tremendously!!!
OMG Thank you Dr.Rowe 🙏 I’m 58 soon to be 59 I had Cervical Stenosis Myelopathy Laminectomy Fusion surgery on my C3 C4 C5 on Dec 15/2021 and there were many days I wished I never woke up from surgery…the pain was torture!!!! even with pain killers So happens I clicked on TH-cam this morning and seen your video…which I can say was a Blessing from God🙏🙏🙏 I’ve already tried some of your methods and WOW I’m already sensing positive relief!!! I can never Thank You enough for your thorough explanation’s on pain relief. I will continue with your Therapeutic methods today and everyday for as long as God allows me to be on earth and be a Life Long Subscriber.❤️ Warmest Regards Dr.Rowe🙂
Totally LOVED the excersizes, I've been suffering blinding migraines and neck pain for years, I have 6 discs out in my neck and at c5 and c7 fracture, I was looking at surgery, I've been getting relief from the excersizes and not waking up with stiff neck or headaches, THANK YOU
Thank you so much for this. I've been suffering with severe tension headaches for many years. This simple video has helped me more than doctors have in the last 10 years. 🤙❤
I just followed thru this video once and my tension headache was gone! I felt it starting to try to surface again the next day, so I did it again. This is going to be a regular, daily routine for me. Feeling so much better without that stinking headache! I think it's been bothering me for a couple of years. Thank you so much!
I spent 3 years crying in bed at night while experiencing stabbing sensations at the base of my neck. I got on some medication and the stabbing stopped. But lately, I'm getting tinges of pain back at the base of my neck and have been scared the sensation of a rod being rammed through the base of my skull is going to come back. Thank God I found your video. I followed your exercises and stretches and my neck feels almost "normal" right now. THANK YOU so very very much. Many blessings to you.
I have been in pain for several days now, started doing your exercises and I instantly started to notice a difference, I have been walking around with heat pads on my neck which helped a little, but now, I can finally turn my head side to side with hardly any discomfort, great instructions thanks from a 75y/o in the UK 👍
Thank you so much for this, I woke up with the most annoying neck pain thinking this would only go away by taking painkillers then I decided to give this a shot and damn! Made SUCH a huge difference halfway through the video and I was already feeling SO much better, so grateful
My husband was up until four am with horrible neck pain I couldn’t sleep seeing him like that, thank God I saw your video and the exercises immediately helped him! You’re a life saver thank you so much !!
You're really a genius, I've been dealing with that neck pain for like four days now, ice and heat did nothing to help but this did the trick, thank you so much!
I had a terrible neck pain that made made me feeling cranky the whole day at work even with a relief patch on. Tried your spoon method and it worked like magic. Thank you for educating fellow sufferers like me!!!
Sir your video saved my life today. I stayed in a hotel with worst bed and pillow. Woke in the morning with severe pain in back of head and nausea. Just searched youtube and followed your video and felt good in an hour after your exercise
Oh how I needed this video. I’ve been going to the chiropractor for 6 weeks. Using stimulation, massage, and stretching. Upon leaving, I feel great only to wake up the next day in pain. I will do these every day. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!😊
Hello Kimberly, maybe you could also check with a good odontologist, probably you are having bruxism while sleeping that or you need a better pillow for you maybe... so if you check on that, while doing the stretching and these exercises you could probably get even better :)
The base of my skull and top of my neck has been tight, with pressure, and pain for a couple of weeks. Of course the worst comes to mind, but wanted to try muscle stretches before scheduling an appt with my doctor. After performing just a few of these exercises, I can tell that my pain is definitely muscle pain. Thanks for the video, I'm starting to feel better already.
can´t believe these videos are free. I usually dont even repeat these exercises nor do I maintain the stretches for long yet the relief is immediately evident. Very effective, and beneficial content at no cost while we rather pay for netflix and useless entertainment rather than for useful information.
I’ve had five days of miserable neck pain. I couldn’t sleep because of it. Doing your exercise gave me relief after days of suffering. Thank you so much for this. I had to send this to my mum because she usually has neck and shoulder pain too. For reals, thank you!!!
I have never suffered so much pain in my life, nearly 2 months now.. because I sit behind my PC for hours I decided to lift my screen and keyboard so that I have to stand, this is also gives me time to do stretches and these exercises in between... 4 days down the line, must admit, pain is getting better, much better.
This is wonderful information! Thank you! I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m excited to start. I have headaches from my neck nearly every day. I used to go to the chiropractor which helped a lot. But, I’m disabled now (lung disease) and it’s difficult for me to get out of the house. So, I live in pain. The idea of becoming pain free is incredible. Thanks again! ❤
Mine was too severe & chiropractic came nonlonger worked. I'm sitting in my rigid neck collar after having discs 4-7 fused. My 24-year headache is pretty much gone & my vertigo went away! Neuropathy is nearly gone also. Thank you, Jesus!
@@marygracecollado6889 the original commenter seems to be stating that spinal fusion surgery from the C4 to C7 is the only thing that gave them any relief... It is quite a serious surgery to undergo, albeit quite routine to perform for the specialists doing it. I hope that their remission went well and that over time they have kept seeing improvements :)
Wow. I want to say a heartfelt thank you for your video. I am a 49 year old woman who has had headaches on and off for decades. I had such a terrible headache that lasted 2 days that my migraine medication wasn’t able to soothe. I called out of work and was left to be in my bedroom with a bag of ice on my head praying for the pain and nausea to subside. I came across your video and grabbed my medal spoon praying for some relief. This exercise isn’t for the faint of heart as the edge of the spoon was catching so many adhesions it felt so bumpy. I used pretty good force and took my time. I actually cried when I was done as the pain went from an 8 to a 2! I do have little red dots from blood coming to the surface all over my neck but I don’t care as the technique worked. I then used the stretching video a bit later and was able to get a better range of motion. I am going back to work today. THANK YOU.
Amazing video! I did just one set of all the exercises and I was out of pain immediately. I will use this video every time I have a base of skull headache. Looking at the armpits and putting extra pressure on top while massaging the back was one of the most helpful.Then the very last stretch was awesome. They were all good. And all effective. Thanks so much for this video!!!
@@DrRowe Update: so everything from 8:47 onward didn't suit me at all (they're great, but not suitable for a c2-c6 injured person, apparently). I use a thera-band to strengthen those muscles, instead.
Hi Doc! Thank you for making this video! I always suffer for neck pain and headache, after watching this video, I feel relief instantly. Once again, thank you very much!
Glad i found this video, last year i went to get out of bed and pulled the right side of my neck, never felt pain like it couldnt turn my head properly for days, ever since that day ive suffered with aching just below my skull and its affecting both sides of my neck now, just finished work and ive been in pain and these techniques are working a treat, thanks 👍
Head ache for 16 days. Probably from stress. I even caught myself tensing the neck muscles forward in my sleep. Instant relief. I plan to do the related exercises as well. Thank you.
I struggle with neck pain/headaches pretty much every day of life… I can already feel the benefits of your exercises and will become a daily viewer of your channel! Thanks very much for sharing these techniques.
For all you who are not sure does this help, I can say yes! It does work. As an office worker I have lots of neck and shoulder pain and gave this a try. Instant relief! Headache was also gone at the some moment.
Thank you Dude. Yesteday, I did the routine of exercises that you suggested in this video and I really got the back of the head and neck muscles relaxed. As side-effect, my left ear tinnitus reduced down to 5%! I dont know how to thank you.
Dr. Rowe this is the valuable information. I get occipital nerve blocks once a month. I broke my c-2 in 2001 so these exercises really help tremendously. Thank you for your wizardry😎👍🏁🏁🏁
Holy crap I think these exercises and stretching are actually helping! I've been having the issues for MONTHS and tried multiple exercises but not many of them helps or hitting the problem head on and after doing them I could feel it actually did hit the problem at the back of my head. Gonna keep on doing these and strengthening the neck properly so thanks for this video!
i was watching bob and brad coz im trying to find something to help me for the pinched nerve pain im having rt.now,then i saw this and omg, this really works, im stock now i keep clicking and watching most of your video now for like an hour, i keep watching about the pinched neck pain,muscles,the knots at the back and YESSSS its helping me from pain now and your explaining it so clearly also your showing it in the video closer,its much easier to understand and see it, i will subscribe coz im always in pain for so many years, i think this is my first favorite, easy exercise that really works fast, the best part is we dont need to buy any expensive stuff to exercise to help for the pain, thanks for the help, im gonna watch more before i go to sleep,thanks DR.ROWE.

Where nothing has EVER worked before! Thank you dr Rowe for relief of a sub occipital headache that I’ve been suffering with for over 3 months now. Please don’t stop with these extremely helpful videos. I’m am beyond grateful!
Hey what were your symptoms?
Had very sore neck at base of skull and the first exercise with the spoon brought huge relief. There was a big gritty area which was zapped away by this method. I can definitely notice immediate difference when I look from side to side. Thank you so much .. you’re always my go to doctor for any muscular relief. So blessed to have found you.
Glad you found the channel and are getting a lot of relief. Thanks for watching too!
I cannot tell you which exercise helped me the most - I tried all of them! But I can tell you I can comfortable turn my head left, which was almost impossible prior to the exercise. 2 chiropractor offices and over 20 visits - I have not received as much relief as you provided in 10 minutes. Thank you!
Glad you found the video and the exercises are helping!
For the first time in a week, I'm not in absolute pain at all hours of the day. Thank you
That’s wonderful!
yes and i can sleep, as well
Dang, did only one repetition of most of these and I can already feel a huge relief! I've suffered from pains at the base of the skull for more than a decade. I'll be using these to help with the pain and discomfort on a daily basis.
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
@@DrRowe does this take the pain away completely or just help it?
I can DITTO that reaction. Boy did this stretch helped immediately !! No Meds, no huge & expensive equipment, and was never relayed to me by any of the 6 Chiros I have visited for the past 12 years. This dr. does emphasize Forward head Posture, many on the Interweb do. They warn that if you think Diabetes is at epidemic levels, Wait until the affects of Tech Neck hits the population. Sitting in front of a PC, looking down at your phone constantly, poor Posture in genertal, and especially if you have long Commuter drives (like me for 48 years). I'm 70 YO, and suffer with Chronic pain / stiffness / tempral headaches/ TMJ/ Chronic Sinusistis, Tinnitus, IBS / GERD , even incontinence - all stemming form the Cervical Spine.
Mine started a year ago on and off. When it's on I had being living on 1 to 3 advil per day this really helped immediately
More than a decade?
this dude is great right to the point no bullcrap stories or just straight to work 👍
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
This video saves my neck.. I've been experiencing neck pain for a couple of weeks now and I was anxious about it and came across this video. Such a great relief.. Thank you for sharing this amazing routine..
Happy to help, and thanks so much for watching!
This is a lifesaver....Ive been suffering from this horrible neck pain (possibly due to poor sleeping posture) in the last couple of days which caused me migraine attacks...Contemplating on calling my G.P then came across this video..tried all the exercises at 3 am....And holy guacamole it worked..the headache gone along with my neck pain...I cant thank you enough for being a blessing to everyone..Keep it up and more power to you channel..Ofcourse I'd be telling my patients and colleagues at work about your channel🙂🙂😃
Thanks for watching and sharing, I appreciate it!
This video saved my life.i used to have tight neck muscles causing sinus headaches confusion. I must say I feel much better now. Thank you so much 💓
Glad you found the video and it’s helping, and thanks for watching!
I didn’t know tight muscles in the neck would cause sinus headaches. The doctor told me once that I was having a sinus migraine. Very horrible. But he said just to use saline and nothing about neck.
Had immense pain in back of my neck after a virus. This really helped, especially the exercise at 8.00. My headache has virually gone. Thank you! :)
Wonderful that you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
What virus?
@@michaelspears4947 just a bad flu bug (not covid). Have suffered with back and neck pain for years, ever since a motorbike accident. But this pain, on rear right side of my neck was unbearable. So glad I found this video
Thank you Doc. I am 55 yrs old and work on computers for program development. Sometimes I am working 8 to 10 hours at a stratch. I developed constant neck pain at the base of the neck, exactly the same areas you are showing in your video. I tried the techniques and I feel a lot better and it is improving. I will continue as just one 10 session has reduced the stiffness and lossening up the tight muscles. Thank you very much for this very helpful tips. God bless you.
Glad you’re getting relief, and please give us an update in a week or two.
I too work in a call center and add being an avid gamer off work and I can relate this much being in front of the desk and sitting for hours. hoping to hear the update as well. take care.
I am 21 and suffering from tension headaches for 2 years now, work in the trades/ and work out heavy, thank you for these exercises sir.
I've been awake since 3 am with a terrible headache and no amount of pain killers helped with the pain but these exercises worked a treat. Liked and subscribed.
Glad you’re getting relief. Thanks for the sub too, I appreciate it!
The exercise at the end of the video has really strengthened the muscles in my neck. A stronger neck = Less injuries
Absolutely!
In tears because this has gotten so bad that my eyes are puffed up, sinuses acting up, could barely interact with others bc all I can think about is the pain....
Thank you sir 😔❤❤❤
Hope the exercises help!
It happened to me for the first time, and by using ur technique, it literally got fixed in minutes. cannot thank u enough for being so genuine and sharing so many details for free.
May God give u goodness and His Blessings. amen.
Glad it helped you!
I’ve watched dozens of videos on this issue over years, and they all lowered my opinion of chiropractors because none came close to helping and seem full of bro science. This is the best video I’ve ever found. Thank you. I’ve literally had this headache for over 24 hours and had been been vomiting from the nausea and trying to stretch for four hours when I found it. I’ve never felt such a glorious stretch in the occipital muscles before and my headache is gone.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been trying to ice & “nurse” my neck, spine/back & headache for most of the day at home. While sitting in my car waiting for kids to get out of school i came across your video. Just doing the stretches while watching you, i can feel a difference in my neck. My headache is slowly dissipating. Thank you for sharing these techniques!
Glad you 're getting relief, and thanks for watching!
I’ve been through PT 6 times in the past 4 years. Occipital neuralgia caused by over tightened neck and back/shoulder muscles. Botox for migraines, extra massage therapy. I wasn’t shown most of these stretches/massage this way. So never got relief. THANK YOU!
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
I'm getting nuts...My neck hasn't felt any pain relief since 18 years.
I followed all your instructions and right now I feel like 20 again.
Thank you so much, cuz nothing had worked.
I tried some sport techniques, I went to a professional massage, my partner tried to massage me, but I never had the opportunity to get to two extremly painful spots.
Thanks a billion times!!!
Really glad you found this video and it’s helping, and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much my Sister was having terrible neck pain and could hardly turn her head. I came across these and shared them with her and in one day one side of her neck is no longer hurting and she’s working on the other! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge!
Glad it helped! Thanks for sharing and watching too.
I have had a headache for four days and this video has clearly shown me that it is my neck, not my head! The right side of my neck in particular, thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Was in so much pain at work for the past 2 days. The stretches helped a lot, thank you!
Took my wisdom tooth out two weeks ago and the pain had been horrible. This is the third wisdom tooth I removed and the first two didn’t hurt at all. After I did the spoon thing, the pain disappeared and didn’t come back. Thank you 🙏🏾
Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
Love this man, everything you have done to this point has relieved me of so many cramps and muscle aches. Don't know why the dislikes on the vids. When he deserves so much more credit... The Best there is and not gonna change. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
Massive neck pain for nearly 5 years constantly, been to hospitals doctors and physios had scans xrays and ultrasounds was told its arthritis, with no other options i turned to youtube this atleast gives temporary pain relief Thankyou so much.
Keep at it!
Another helpful video. I’ve been having neck pains which affects my eyes for days now. I’ve been taking pain meds but it didn’t help at all. Thanks to this video, I feel so relieved. A life saver! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
That was so helpful for me as I have been suffering with neck, scalene, SCM and weird frontal headaches. I will continue to go back to this video as I found some relief already.
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
You are a hero to myself and many others. Pain ruins lives. You help bring us back... ♥️
Happy to hear the exercises are making a big difference, and thanks for watching!
I am so glad I found this video! It was exactly what I needed. I hold a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders and causes a lot of headaches. I’m looking forward to using all of these exercises.
Same an the headaches are painful how are u feeling
i've been following you for years now i remember when i was watching your videos constantly to relieve pain and all your stretches and massages really work it's honestly amazing
Thanks for following and supporting us over the past couple of years, I appreciate it!
You are amazing! I broke my neck in two places last October, and the pain, and swelling is unbearable! Those neck Stretches with the spoon, in
just a few minutes I couldn't believe it. I cannot even hold my neck up and now the tightness and horrible pain subsided!!! THANK YOU, thank you!!!!
Glad you found this video and you’re getting relief. Thanks for watching too!
From a guy that's suffering from a lot of headaches and migraines thank you sir for this!
Thanks for watching!
This helped so much after a headache came on fast today. I feel like something is wrong with me, some stretches hurt really bad by my lymph nodes in the neck and my head throbs if I lay on my stomach or put my head down (been like this my entire life) - but I was able to do most of these stretches and they helped tremendously!!!
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
OMG
Thank you Dr.Rowe 🙏
I’m 58 soon to be 59
I had Cervical Stenosis Myelopathy Laminectomy Fusion surgery on my C3 C4 C5 on Dec 15/2021 and there were many days I wished I never woke up from surgery…the pain was torture!!!! even with pain killers
So happens I clicked on TH-cam this morning and seen your video…which I can say was a Blessing from God🙏🙏🙏

Totally LOVED the excersizes, I've been suffering blinding migraines and neck pain for years, I have 6 discs out in my neck and at c5 and c7 fracture, I was looking at surgery, I've been getting relief from the excersizes and not waking up with stiff neck or headaches, THANK YOU
Really Thank you, I was just suffering immense pain with stiff neck and head pain, this gave really so much relief.
Glad you're getting relief, and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this. I've been suffering with severe tension headaches for many years. This simple video has helped me more than doctors have in the last 10 years. 🤙❤
Glad you found the video and are getting relief!
I just followed thru this video once and my tension headache was gone! I felt it starting to try to surface again the next day, so I did it again. This is going to be a regular, daily routine for me. Feeling so much better without that stinking headache! I think it's been bothering me for a couple of years. Thank you so much!
Glad you're getting relief!
I spent 3 years crying in bed at night while experiencing stabbing sensations at the base of my neck. I got on some medication and the stabbing stopped. But lately, I'm getting tinges of pain back at the base of my neck and have been scared the sensation of a rod being rammed through the base of my skull is going to come back. Thank God I found your video. I followed your exercises and stretches and my neck feels almost "normal" right now. THANK YOU so very very much. Many blessings to you.
That’s great to hear!
I have been in pain for several days now, started doing your exercises and I instantly started to notice a difference, I have been walking around with heat pads on my neck which helped a little, but now, I can finally turn my head side to side with hardly any discomfort, great instructions thanks from a 75y/o in the UK 👍
The spoon trick is awesome! And I really felt relief in my muscles after the exercises. Thank youuuu
Glad to hear you’re getting relief!
i came here to say the same thing! thank you! 10:59
Thank you so much for this, I woke up with the most annoying neck pain thinking this would only go away by taking painkillers then I decided to give this a shot and damn! Made SUCH a huge difference halfway through the video and I was already feeling SO much better, so grateful
Great to hear that!
One of the best (practical) videos I've ever seen - you're a lifesaver, with awesome presentation. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
My husband was up until four am with horrible neck pain I couldn’t sleep seeing him like that, thank God I saw your video and the exercises immediately helped him! You’re a life saver thank you so much !!
Glad the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!
You're really a genius, I've been dealing with that neck pain for like four days now, ice and heat did nothing to help but this did the trick, thank you so much!
Glad it's helping you, and thanks for watching!
I had a terrible neck pain that made made me feeling cranky the whole day at work even with a relief patch on. Tried your spoon method and it worked like magic. Thank you for educating fellow sufferers like me!!!
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
again & again: 1000 thumbs Up from Germany!
Thanks again for watching and supporting the channel!
1 thumbs up 👍🏻 from me to you
Thank you Dr. Rowe! I have had this exact issue for the past several weeks and going through this routine just once has already helped.
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
Sir your video saved my life today. I stayed in a hotel with worst bed and pillow. Woke in the morning with severe pain in back of head and nausea. Just searched youtube and followed your video and felt good in an hour after your exercise
Glad you're getting quick relief!
Thank You!!! I have had a tension headache and neck pain for 5 days I’m finally feeling relief you are a godsend!!
Glad it helped!
Oh how I needed this video. I’ve been going to the chiropractor for 6 weeks. Using stimulation, massage, and stretching. Upon leaving, I feel great only to wake up the next day in pain. I will do these every day. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!😊
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Hello Kimberly, maybe you could also check with a good odontologist, probably you are having bruxism while sleeping that or you need a better pillow for you maybe... so if you check on that, while doing the stretching and these exercises you could probably get even better :)
You're cute 😏
This actually works. My headache is almost gone and I am going to keep at these exercises. Amazing thank you so much for sharing!
Great to hear you're getting relief, and thanks for watching!
The base of my skull and top of my neck has been tight, with pressure, and pain for a couple of weeks. Of course the worst comes to mind, but wanted to try muscle stretches before scheduling an appt with my doctor. After performing just a few of these exercises, I can tell that my pain is definitely muscle pain. Thanks for the video, I'm starting to feel better already.
can´t believe these videos are free. I usually dont even repeat these exercises nor do I maintain the stretches for long yet the relief is immediately evident. Very effective, and beneficial content at no cost while we rather pay for netflix and useless entertainment rather than for useful information.
I’ve had five days of miserable neck pain. I couldn’t sleep because of it. Doing your exercise gave me relief after days of suffering. Thank you so much for this. I had to send this to my mum because she usually has neck and shoulder pain too. For reals, thank you!!!
Glad you’re getting relief and thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this. I was awake in so much pain and it seriously made a huge difference.
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
I get the worst tension headaches that can last for weeks. Looking forward to trying these techniques out. Thanks for the video 😊
Hope the exercises help you, and please give us an update soon.
I have never suffered so much pain in my life, nearly 2 months now.. because I sit behind my PC for hours I decided to lift my screen and keyboard so that I have to stand, this is also gives me time to do stretches and these exercises in between... 4 days down the line, must admit, pain is getting better, much better.
Glad you're getting relief!
I've been suffering with shoulder pain 2 weeks post covid from frequent coughing. These exercises worked immediately. Thanks much!
Glad the exercises helped you!
This is wonderful information! Thank you! I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m excited to start. I have headaches from my neck nearly every day. I used to go to the chiropractor which helped a lot. But, I’m disabled now (lung disease) and it’s difficult for me to get out of the house. So, I live in pain. The idea of becoming pain free is incredible. Thanks again! ❤
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
Mine was too severe & chiropractic came nonlonger worked. I'm sitting in my rigid neck collar after having discs 4-7 fused. My 24-year headache is pretty much gone & my vertigo went away! Neuropathy is nearly gone also. Thank you, Jesus!
May I know what you did to ease your pain? Ty
@@marygracecollado6889probably the exercises in this video…….??? Just a wild thought
@@marygracecollado6889 the original commenter seems to be stating that spinal fusion surgery from the C4 to C7 is the only thing that gave them any relief... It is quite a serious surgery to undergo, albeit quite routine to perform for the specialists doing it. I hope that their remission went well and that over time they have kept seeing improvements :)
A full week of pain just gone like that. I'm forever indebted to you.🤝
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
You are doing an invaluable service for us, Thank you so much
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
Honestly I’ve searched whole TH-cam n haven’t find any better than this, thank you so much literally
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
Wow. I want to say a heartfelt thank you for your video. I am a 49 year old woman who has had headaches on and off for decades. I had such a terrible headache that lasted 2 days that my migraine medication wasn’t able to soothe. I called out of work and was left to be in my bedroom with a bag of ice on my head praying for the pain and nausea to subside. I came across your video and grabbed my medal spoon praying for some relief. This exercise isn’t for the faint of heart as the edge of the spoon was catching so many adhesions it felt so bumpy. I used pretty good force and took my time. I actually cried when I was done as the pain went from an 8 to a 2! I do have little red dots from blood coming to the surface all over my neck but I don’t care as the technique worked. I then used the stretching video a bit later and was able to get a better range of motion. I am going back to work today. THANK YOU.
Amazing video! I did just one set of all the exercises and I was out of pain immediately. I will use this video every time I have a base of skull headache. Looking at the armpits and putting extra pressure on top while massaging the back was one of the most helpful.Then the very last stretch was awesome. They were all good. And all effective. Thanks so much for this video!!!
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
I'm a fitness nut with a perma-damaged c2-c6, so I really needed this. Thank you, man!
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
@@DrRowe Update: so everything from 8:47 onward didn't suit me at all (they're great, but not suitable for a c2-c6 injured person, apparently). I use a thera-band to strengthen those muscles, instead.
@@SylentEcho thanks for the update!
@@SylentEcho i also have c2 damage ill try this later though
Hi Doc! Thank you for making this video! I always suffer for neck pain and headache, after watching this video, I feel relief instantly. Once again, thank you very much!
Glad you're getting instant relief!
Glad i found this video, last year i went to get out of bed and pulled the right side of my neck, never felt pain like it couldnt turn my head properly for days, ever since that day ive suffered with aching just below my skull and its affecting both sides of my neck now, just finished work and ive been in pain and these techniques are working a treat, thanks 👍
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
Anybody in physical pain should subscribe. Dr Rowe nows his stuff and has given me tons of relief. Thanks Doc.
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
You earned it amigo. ☮️
This is pure gold! Thanks a lot! Due to PTSD and two slipped discs in my back, I have a lot of problems with this part.
Thanks so much for watching!
Keep working it and things will continue to improve for you. Glad you found some relief.
Thank you very much, Dr.Rowe. Your exercises are like miracles. Thank you for your deep knowledge, rare patience, and generosity.
Happy to help, and thanks so much for watching!
Head ache for 16 days. Probably from stress. I even caught myself tensing the neck muscles forward in my sleep. Instant relief. I plan to do the related exercises as well. Thank you.
Glad you're getting instant relief!
I struggle with neck pain/headaches pretty much every day of life… I can already feel the benefits of your exercises and will become a daily viewer of your channel! Thanks very much for sharing these techniques.
Keep at it!
Same
For all you who are not sure does this help, I can say yes! It does work. As an office worker I have lots of neck and shoulder pain and gave this a try. Instant relief! Headache was also gone at the some moment.
I can’t thank you enough for making this video. These suggestions have helped me tremendously..
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
Thank you Dude. Yesteday, I did the routine of exercises that you suggested in this video and I really got the back of the head and neck muscles relaxed. As side-effect, my left ear tinnitus reduced down to 5%! I dont know how to thank you.
GREAT to hear you're getting a lot of relief!
How's you now
Dr. Rowe this is the valuable information. I get occipital nerve blocks once a month. I broke my c-2 in 2001 so these exercises really help tremendously. Thank you for your wizardry😎👍🏁🏁🏁
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
I did the same in 05 does this continue to work
Holy crap I think these exercises and stretching are actually helping! I've been having the issues for MONTHS and tried multiple exercises but not many of them helps or hitting the problem head on and after doing them I could feel it actually did hit the problem at the back of my head.
Gonna keep on doing these and strengthening the neck properly so thanks for this video!
Thanks for watching!
i was watching bob and brad coz im trying to find something to help me for the pinched nerve pain im having rt.now,then i saw this and omg, this really works, im stock now i keep clicking and watching most of your video now for like an hour, i keep watching about the pinched neck pain,muscles,the knots at the back and YESSSS its helping me from pain now and your explaining it so clearly also your showing it in the video closer,its much easier to understand and see it, i will subscribe coz im always in pain for so many years, i think this is my first favorite, easy exercise that really works fast, the best part is we dont need to buy any expensive stuff to exercise to help for the pain, thanks for the help, im gonna watch more before i go to sleep,thanks DR.ROWE.
Please give us an update in a couple of days!
