@@nveletkoslin33771 yea it still hurts when I turn all the way to my right but it gets more flexible in like 4 or 3 days if it doesn’t go to the hospital lol
Working behind the desk, I had upper cross syndrome, lack of neck curvature and extremely tight upper trap muscles for years despite being a gym rat. A good TPT massage therapist helped me a lot with the muscle tightness while conventional massages failed to change anything significantly long-term. After visiting a chiropractor and an athletic therapist, analyzing tons of videos, this is what helped me tackle my neck problems the most: -sleeping on the back using a rolled towel instead of a pillow to properly rest and maintain neck curvature, -doing chin-tucks and using rubber-bands sparingly for training neck muscles, including neck self-traction exercise also with a rubber band (can be particularly helpful with pinched nerve after a 'bad night'); -training rhomboids and rotator cuff muscles for a better posture. -Currently trying to alternate between sitting and standing desk ~50/50. Big fight with anterior and lateral pelvic tilt is yet to come. Thank you Jeff for invaluable insights and inspiration!
There are some people that TRULY make a difference in this world. You are one of them. Not only you wiped away my lower spine problems that I thought would never go away, but now the stifness in the neck too. Beyond grateful. God bless
So. I sprained my neck 4 days ago and I honestly thought I broke it. The pain was the most terrible thing I've ever experienced after hives and breaking my finger. I sprained the back of my head while exercising, I made a fast wrong move with my neck and it made a slight crisp sound. The pain came after 35 seconds and didn't stop for two days. I couldn't move my head at all, and it started hurting more bc of it. The constant pain made my head ache and slowly spread to my back. I legit thought it was broken, and even considered going to a doctor, but the hospital nearby was closed. So we called our doctor and explained the situation. So here's some advice: 1. Check if there's any swelling or change in the color of the skin (red/blue or something similar). If so, then contact a doctor immediately. 2. If there are no symptoms of swelling or such, but hurts uncontrollably then don't move around too much with your head or hand coz it might worsen the damaged torn tissue. If the pain doesn't stop take a pain relief pill and rest. Don't do any "fixing" exercises. Leave it be for 3 days. 3. Compress the area with an ice pack wrapped in a towel. Do not apply ointments or warm massages, it will trigger the pain more. 4. Don't wrap your neck with hot scarves or such. You might get cold after sweating. Just make sure you don't move around too much and make the neck area won't get cold or hot. 5. Don't panic :) Just give it a few days and the good, old days of moving your neck freely will surely come back)
Yea I’ve been living w it for a couple months now, trying to massage it every now and then, but it feels much better after just doing this simple exercise. I’m just sitting here shocked right now haha
Jeff isn’t even a doctor and he had a skeleton dummy and explained this better than all the chiropractors and doctors on RUclips. Thanks Jeff! You really know your stuff.
I feel that way every day when I have to stretch my neck fully to the left until I hear two cracks, because I somehow wake up every day with two vertebrae between my neck and upper back that are not aligned properly (locked to the right somehow)
It takes a LOT more force. You're more likely to damage ligaments, tendons, and possibly blood vessels. Take it easy on the neck cracking. I've been cracking my neck so much that now I'm watching this video.
Oh dip this actually works. I woke up yesterday and stretched and I heard a cracking noise and my neck immediately started hurting. This exercise help give me more movement but the pain is still there. Also my neck is less stiff now thanks 🙏🏾

Thank you a ton really !!! I’ve been a Hod tendor doing masonry for the last 13 years and my body gets beat up daily! These exercises have been awesome for me!!! Thank you again for putting these up
I absolutely love that you put these type of videos on your channel. I am a LVN, and I see people that train really hard all the time. I give them stretches to do but, I also told a lot of them about your channel because you have even better stretches for certain problems that they’re experiencing. 💜
I'm here because I feel like I'm going crazy not being able to move my neck after a good sleep. Its bitter sweet feeling knowing so many people here have the same thing. Understanding and empathy. This is horrible I hope everyone in the comments gets better. What a horrible feeling
Yeah nowadays its probably caused more by bad sleeping posture and constantly staring down at your phone. You can try rolling up some clothes or a towel and putting it right underneath your neck when you sleep, it helps keep it straight and puts your neck in a more natural postiton. Just make sure you dont over do it by making the towel or cloth to stiff or big or you could worsen it.
@@a.l5320 by doing shoulder exercises and applying hot water on a towel on your neck, you can also put on warm boiled aloe Vera. Hope you feel better! If this doesn’t work then tell me so I can give you a new treatment ☺️🤗
Og Bqze well he has more than 2,5 million subs, plus other people who can see the video in the suggested videos, so their will most likely be a few people with the issue he uploaded a video about.
Jeff , I really appreciate all your videos. You have some great insights and I use the towel stretch a lot with my patients as I am also a physical therapist. I am a certified Mulligan Practitioner and find this stretch works even better if the patient crosses their hands on the towel so if pulling to the left the left hand is pulling, cinches up on the towel on the side pulling, and make sure the towel is not wadded up at all so it grabs the vertebra even more. Hope that helps someone even more. I really like your visual aids such as the skeleton.
IT WORKED! I got up and I could barely turn my head to the right or make it go back. I watched the video(which just 2 days ago I ignored!) and I did what Athlean-X said. Incredibly now I can look up with next to no pain and the pain when I turn right is greatly reduced!
For everyone wondering: yes, it does work for stretching it a bit. I recommend trying this with two fingers placed about an inch away from the middle of your neck at the point where the skull and neck meet and from under your ear.
SuperAmvPro When your neck starts to hurt real bad just give it a few days to see if it goes away on its own. If not go straight to the hospital to have them check you for Meningitis etc... You always wanna get the big worries out the way like Jeff said before trying these methods.
Did your pain instantly occur when you were doing something with your neck i.e shaking it? Because i shook my head and now i am in a world of pain. I had to get a massage in order to keep my hesd straight without pain. Now when i tilt my head to the right it hurts so much. To be honest i’m pretty sure i pulled a neck muscle severely becaus as soon as it happened, i had to hang my head down and to the left or else it would hurt like a motherfucker. I got a massage and rested all day and now i can keep it standing straight with very very mild pain. Butbas soon as it tilts left that shi hurts fuck no
Me having this exact issue I'm hearing here. I hope this can't lead to anything to cause brain damage or clots... Stiff tight necks and traps causing head pain sounds bad. Drs. Never really take this serious and prescribe drugs I don't want
TWrecks dude my right part of my neck… whenever I turn the right part of my neck right it hurts so bad but left doesn’t hurt at all it has happened for days it’s because I was doing wrestling and it was me and 3 other people 1 v 3 I lost I was only person and someone on the team grabbed my neck and squeezed it so hard in a headlock and ever since that day my neck hurts so much I can’t go to school (actually didnt get beat up it was my cousins but I I got up after they head locked me and whipped their ass so bad

Thank you. My neck muscles had spasm from today morning after yesterdays intense workout which included shoulder workout. Was hurting me all day .. Finally solved with this method.
Trigger points are areas on your muscles that generate pain in other zones. For example you can feel a kind of headache but it's actually pain generated from trapezius... Once you find that point and massage it the pain disappeares or reduces.
+Ghost Face it could be but headaches itself is a complex issue and has manny factors. This headache I talk is more like a tensional headache from the superficial head's muscles from trigger points in another zone. You're welcome dude
Ghost Face look up forward head posture if your getting headaches. This would put your upper traps into over use and all the minor important muscles under the skull and cervical spine.
thanks Maxi Rodriguez, and Mike Johnsen for bringing this up. I tweaked something in my shoulder/upper back a few days ago, and I noticed pain and tightness on one side up my neck and onto my forehead when doing the backward tilt with a towel. After reading these comments I used a lacrosse ball to gently roll all around my scapula and upper trap and it definitely helped. I wish I had known about this years ago
I've been training for years and I decided to take on something new. After my first jiujitsu session I had a stiff neck for the first time ever. At first I thought it was just because I was utilizing my traps so much but after 2 weeks that pain has lingered. This was instant relief
Yep I’ve hurt my neck couple times in jiu jitsu haha I’m actually here after I hurt it after a competition and weirdly enough it keeps straining from the smallest things, this time I just hit my head on the mat didn’t even look like a big land but boom there’s my neck gone again can’t even lift my head if the pillow every morning 😂
Unsatisfied Chihuahua well he has more than 2,5 million subs, plus other people who can see the video in the suggested videos, so their will most likely be a few people with the issue he uploaded a video about.
Holy cow! I had a stiff neck for 3 days and finally stumbled upon this video while in my car waiting for daughter. I located the pain in my neck like he said and did the thing. Then touched the same spot after and the pain and soreness is gone! My neck moves more with less resistance too! Very impressive thank you!!!!
Sounds exactly like the issue I have. I believe mine may have been induced by riding motorcycles. About 4 months after riding, I started to feel neck discomfort and got a little hump more on the left side of the spine. I also have scoliosis. It's been a pain. Some days I do well and feel great. Others, I can get in my car and have such an uncomfortable ride. (Even after haven not ridden a motorcycle (helmet usage) in over 8 months. I do see a chiropractor for it but the pain still comes and goes all too often and the lump has never left. Hoping these will work for me also.
I sprained my neck while bench pressing due to raising my chin a bit too much and then taking the brunt of the weight on my back of the neck. But luckily, i have Jeff!! Right from this morning i was in a lot of pain and the range of motion was too low. Now, atleast after trying this towel exercise for just a couple of times, i can feel a big difference. I'll just continue this and let everyone know. B/w thanks Jeff!❤️

Daniel Drooz this exercise didn't do shit!! i ate 10 fried white chicken breasts at kfc.. i pulled my neck when i was about to pay with my credit card.
Magic Mitch I've noticed that too. But most people will try anything other than giving up the phone.
Again Jeff to the rescue giving genuine value! So glad to see you had a video on this topic. Thank you for all your RUclips content!
Thank you! I’m out of state for work and have been having a lot of headaches and pain because I haven’t been to my chiropractor in Texas. This has repeatedly helped me get through, I’m so grateful!
Thank you a ton really !!! I’ve been a Hod tendor doing masonry for the last 13 years and my body gets beat up daily! These exercises have been awesome for me!!! Thank you again for putting these up

It hurts so bad that I can feel the pain in the front of my head
Jeff, I don't know how I can thank you for everything you've done on this channel.
I absolutely love that you put these type of videos on your channel.
I am a LVN, and I see people that train really hard all the time.
I give them stretches to do but, I also told a lot of them about your channel because you have even better stretches for certain problems that they’re experiencing. 💜
Wow... just wow thanks for the video. Couldn’t even turn my head and now I feel 100% better 👌🏼
I'm here because I feel like I'm going crazy not being able to move my neck after a good sleep. Its bitter sweet feeling knowing so many people here have the same thing. Understanding and empathy. This is horrible I hope everyone in the comments gets better. What a horrible feeling
Just happened to me
I strained my forearm trying to do this. Now I cant move anything.
I laughed at this and it hurt my neck more
Russ Wollet how long does this last?
🤣🤣🤣
@@religinjrclips4907 Not sure what you mean. My neck still hurts. Once the govna reopens stuff I'm going to see the chiropractor.
Gg
literally just what i needed, perfect timing jeff!
RedTang does it helped your neck?
My head can’t turn left, and I can’t move my head down, IT HURTS😫 Help. I think I must’ve slept wrong or something.
Yeah nowadays its probably caused more by bad sleeping posture and constantly staring down at your phone. You can try rolling up some clothes or a towel and putting it right underneath your neck when you sleep, it helps keep it straight and puts your neck in a more natural postiton. Just make sure you dont over do it by making the towel or cloth to stiff or big or you could worsen it.
You slept wrong. Happened to me i had to call off work
If you have a fever or feel sick also, go to the doctor. It could be meningitis.
I just woke up and icant move my head to right
Crazy - Gamer same this sucks
This is the one. I went down a long rabbit hole of videos to fix my neck, and this is the one that finally worked. Thank you.
Me: massaging neck since I can’t move down or to left. Also Me: at least the ppl watching feel the same I ain’t the only one ☝️
it hurts so much. I don't like it.
How did the pain go away?
@@a.l5320 by doing shoulder exercises and applying hot water on a towel on your neck, you can also put on warm boiled aloe Vera. Hope you feel better! If this doesn’t work then tell me so I can give you a new treatment ☺️🤗
I'M GOING TO THROW MYSELF AT THE WALL, I'VE HAD ENOUGH ! _or just give me a new neck_
Zapple ikr sameeeee
I feeeeel you 😢😢
I want to die
fr😭😭😂
Zapple sstop my neck is dying if I laugh it will DIEE !
Jeff is the BEST on the internet...period.
The fact that Jeff addressed my problem 7 years ago and solved it is awesome in its own right ❤❤
Howd you know I have a stiff neck? lol perfect timing
Thank you so much!
did it work?
Og Bqze lol same here...dam shrugs
Og Bqze well he has more than 2,5 million subs, plus other people who can see the video in the suggested videos, so their will most likely be a few people with the issue he uploaded a video about.
It's called the 'Law of large numbers' ;)
Dude this helped me so much and I can freaking workout without feeling like my neck is broken!
This is amazing! I had bad neck pain and did this, now I feel so much better instantly!
Thank you!!!
Jeff , I really appreciate all your videos. You have some great insights and I use the towel stretch a lot with my patients as I am also a physical therapist. I am a certified Mulligan Practitioner and find this stretch works even better if the patient crosses their hands on the towel so if pulling to the left the left hand is pulling, cinches up on the towel on the side pulling, and make sure the towel is not wadded up at all so it grabs the vertebra even more. Hope that helps someone even more. I really like your visual aids such as the skeleton.
IT WORKED! I got up and I could barely turn my head to the right or make it go back. I watched the video(which just 2 days ago I ignored!) and I did what Athlean-X said. Incredibly now I can look up with next to no pain and the pain when I turn right is greatly reduced!
Lol the six pack shortcuts diss. Catch Jeff outside

ma name jeff
Haha yeah, i still remember elgintensity' video on Mike Changs towelrow. Thats shit was funny as hell!
I was miserable these past four days
You're a good man, Jeff.
For everyone wondering: yes, it does work for stretching it a bit. I recommend trying this with two fingers placed about an inch away from the middle of your neck at the point where the skull and neck meet and from under your ear.
Holy cow thanks so much, this was sooooo helpful. I used to just wait for the pain to stop on its own. This is awesome. Thank you.
ruleram1 did this actually help you?
MY NECK HURTS SO BAD
Omg am not joking I can't turn my head these never happened to me before so PAINFUL
SuperAmvPro When your neck starts to hurt real bad just give it a few days to see if it goes away on its own. If not go straight to the hospital to have them check you for Meningitis etc... You always wanna get the big worries out the way like Jeff said before trying these methods.
Did your pain instantly occur when you were doing something with your neck i.e shaking it? Because i shook my head and now i am in a world of pain. I had to get a massage in order to keep my hesd straight without pain. Now when i tilt my head to the right it hurts so much. To be honest i’m pretty sure i pulled a neck muscle severely becaus as soon as it happened, i had to hang my head down and to the left or else it would hurt like a motherfucker. I got a massage and rested all day and now i can keep it standing straight with very very mild pain. Butbas soon as it tilts left that shi hurts fuck no
Me having this exact issue I'm hearing here. I hope this can't lead to anything to cause brain damage or clots... Stiff tight necks and traps causing head pain sounds bad. Drs. Never really take this serious and prescribe drugs I don't want
TWrecks dude my right part of my neck… whenever I turn the right part of my neck right it hurts so bad but left doesn’t hurt at all it has happened for days it’s because I was doing wrestling and it was me and 3 other people 1 v 3 I lost I was only person and someone on the team grabbed my neck and squeezed it so hard in a headlock and ever since that day my neck hurts so much I can’t go to school (actually didnt get beat up it was my cousins but I I got up after they head locked me and whipped their ass so bad
fcvk bro me too
youv helped me a lot with neck and back pain.... thx. u got my sub brother.
It does work. I tried it on my sore neck and pain was gone within few days.. This is super easy and effective 😃 Thank you for this video 🙌🏻

Same case
Spent the last few days in pain, this improved things quite a bit immediately, thanks!
Damn. Everything snapped when I moved my head backwards and the pain I had for months instantly disappeared. I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you. My neck muscles had spasm from today morning after yesterdays intense workout which included shoulder workout. Was hurting me all day .. Finally solved with this method.
I desperately need a video about trigger points in the traps lol
Trigger points are areas on your muscles that generate pain in other zones. For example you can feel a kind of headache but it's actually pain generated from trapezius... Once you find that point and massage it the pain disappeares or reduces.
They are knots in muscle fibers. A small patch of muscle tissue in spasm.
+Ghost Face it could be but headaches itself is a complex issue and has manny factors. This headache I talk is more like a tensional headache from the superficial head's muscles from trigger points in another zone. You're welcome dude
Ghost Face look up forward head posture if your getting headaches. This would put your upper traps into over use and all the minor important muscles under the skull and cervical spine.
thanks Maxi Rodriguez, and Mike Johnsen for bringing this up. I tweaked something in my shoulder/upper back a few days ago, and I noticed pain and tightness on one side up my neck and onto my forehead when doing the backward tilt with a towel. After reading these comments I used a lacrosse ball to gently roll all around my scapula and upper trap and it definitely helped. I wish I had known about this years ago
I've been training for years and I decided to take on something new. After my first jiujitsu session I had a stiff neck for the first time ever. At first I thought it was just because I was utilizing my traps so much but after 2 weeks that pain has lingered. This was instant relief
Yep I’ve hurt my neck couple times in jiu jitsu haha I’m actually here after I hurt it after a competition and weirdly enough it keeps straining from the smallest things, this time I just hit my head on the mat didn’t even look like a big land but boom there’s my neck gone again can’t even lift my head if the pillow every morning 😂
It's insane how quickly and effectively this worked, instant relief! Thanks!
I was having so much pain and this was incredibly helpful.

I have scoliosis and its more profound in my neck which leaves a lil hump and I tell you guys these stretches he just performed works!!
Sounds exactly like the issue I have. I believe mine may have been induced by riding motorcycles. About 4 months after riding, I started to feel neck discomfort and got a little hump more on the left side of the spine. I also have scoliosis. It's been a pain. Some days I do well and feel great. Others, I can get in my car and have such an uncomfortable ride. (Even after haven not ridden a motorcycle (helmet usage) in over 8 months. I do see a chiropractor for it but the pain still comes and goes all too often and the lump has never left. Hoping these will work for me also.
find a good chiropractor mate
Ashley B oh look an idiot with her hand on her hip in her profile picture
i never heard of cervical scoliosis. or is it that your thoracolumbar scoliosis is affecting your neck aversely?
Gotta stop swerving too much smh
I sprained my neck while bench pressing due to raising my chin a bit too much and then taking the brunt of the weight on my back of the neck.
But luckily, i have Jeff!! Right from this morning i was in a lot of pain and the range of motion was too low.
Now, atleast after trying this towel exercise for just a couple of times, i can feel a big difference. I'll just continue this and let everyone know. B/w thanks Jeff!❤️
