Why stretches won't relieve your neck pain and what you should do instead | Dr. Alyssa Kuhn

I just found this and started this morning. Hopeful I find some relief. Thank you for posting and explaining!

God bless you! This really helped! My neck has been out of whack for about two months. I know I have some arthritis and it will get better but still have tightness then back to square one. These exercises really gave me some relief.

Your legs are gorgeous 😍

Good exercise for my stuborn neck pain

I am having neck pain, and im going to try these exercises.

Can u recommend something for arthritis in c4&5

I had neck pain radiating down through my traps. Did lots of stretching, massage, etc. I do exercises to strengthen my shoulders regularly. Now I have what feels like an inflamed vertebra (top of thoracic) Maybe overdid it on self massage ? What should I do ? Keep light exercise and stretching ? Still have tightness

Thank you so much for those exercises. I’ve been doing neck stretches for a long time now but did not have any relief in my neck. I immediately performed your three exercises as soon as I watched your video. I almost immediately felt some relief. Honestly!!! Thank you so much for your help. I will share this with my friends.

That was outstanding! Thanks! xoxo

Do you have another example on the first exercise? Difficult with the corner of a wall. I do not have that kind of corner in my house.! Grateful thank you!🙏🏵

I have pain on both the sides. May I use both hands at the same time.

Thanks a lot dear . God bless u . I am from INDIA.

god bless you, thank you feel good

How did you know my neck is so stiff and that stretches were useless? 🥰🥰🥰

What’s your view on organic castor oil as a pain reducing rub on pain areas?

Magic! For two days, I struggled with pain on the left side of my neck, especially in the morning. It went away!!! Actually, mid-way through the third exercise! Thank you so much, Alyssa!

I did the wall push earlier this week as part of the routine to make it easier to get off the floor. After I finished watching this video, it just dawn on me that my neck hasn't bothered me since then. Thank you, Dr Alyssa.

I began to have pain in my right shoulder and upper arm about 9 months ago. At times my right arm would feel some numbness and my right hand and fingers were very stiff. I visited my Ortho doctor. After several x-rays and and MRI he diagnosed me with cervical nerve compression and arthritis. I was given an injection of steroid and nerve block. This only provided relief for one day. It was suggested I go through therapy. I completed several weeks of therapy and one session of dry needling. I only noticed temporary relief and some days pain returned at a greater degree. The doctor recommended more injections which I declined. They then referred me to more therapy at a different facility. Again I had some relief but nothing permanent. I have pain from my scapula through right shoulder and upper arm muscles. Bicep tendon is inflamed. I am at a point where I believe I tend to subconsciously tighten my muscles, traps, rhomboids etc. I'm focusing on trying to relax these as much as possible all the time to see if I can achieve some healing.
