Do you have headaches that start at the base of your skull and go up and over your head to behind your eye?
Yes, had it for 4 months, now the pain remains just at the base of the skull, but its still there. Its only when I do exersice at the gym that my left side of the head including teeth get a nice relief, thats only for a few moments tho then the pain comes back.
Yes ... Having this pain on regular basis ...
@@monikagoel2650 Have you tried the exercises in the video?
Yes. Recently was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia. Some days if I jolt or move wrong the pain can be unbearable.... these exercises and stretches help a ton. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Yes I'm still suffering this kind of pain
Thankyou soo much for this demo. Your key words"grow tall and push into our feet" has helped me the most, to correct my posture and the pain has disappeared.
I saw a difference within 4 days.. Now i do all these exercises everyday.
thankyou so much. God bless you.
I am so happy to read this... grateful to share!
Purnima Agarwal I’m in the same boat but it’s like from my shoulder blades up to my neck the muscles or something pushes me to the left I’ve been to so many doctors no one knows what’s wrong the muscle that goes down by your throat is tight and feels like it’s choking me I’m at a loss I’ve been in therapy for 8 weeks
@@terriehein8434 keep doing these exercises. I think, I saw this around 6 months ago and I have been doing these exercises every single day till today, so I see that it takes time but , the pain will go. the tightness in throat is more psychological, believe me.. I am a doctor myself , and I consulted ortho, neuro. doctors, and they also gave me light exercises . Also do Louis Hay affirmations
from you tube. they are miraculous.
@@terriehein8434 have you seen an osteopath?
Thank you so much for this routine! I have had extreme occipital headaches since a car accident in 2015. Post C4-CF ACDF the occipital pain has persisted. Several days a week I’ve been in extreme pain. NOTHING has helped until now!! Chiropractic, medications, massage, PT, trigger point treatments...none of it. You have changed my life!
I’ve been doing a few sets of this everyday this week. On the first day I started your video in severe pain. During the first set, on the side bend with arm raised I heard and felt a loud “clunk” in my C2 area. This happened on both the first and second sets. I went on to do three more sets that day. I have continued doing three sets every morning and have not had any occipital pain since.
***BONUS: I can already tell a difference in my natural posture, my glutes are sore because I continue to practice not arching my lower back throughout the day when sitting. So, I may get a nice little butt lift out of the deal. 😉
I can’t thank you enough!!! 4 physical therapists for 12 weeks each and you are the only one that has relieved my pain via RUclips!!! 💜🤗🤗💜
Princess GlitterKitty... Thank you for commenting. You made my day when I read this... Keep up the good work!
@@pilatesaustintexas512 Just wanted to share an update and thank you again. I have continued using your video. Still no raging occipital headaches. I’ve been on the verge a couple of times. I stop whatever I’m doing, turn on the video and mindfully stretch. Headache free for weeks!
I recently received the report from radiology from an MRI in December. Several cervical levels have issues. I have appointments with a neurologist a and a neurosurgeon in the next week and I’m going to share this video with them. I believe 1000% that your video, at bare minimum, prevented nerve pain episodes and probably helped postpone surgical procedures. I went from almost constant pain severely impacting my ADLs to having a life and being able to have quality time with my kids!
I can’t thank you enough!!!
My anxiety has cause a bit of this but I did this for the first time and it actually provided a little relief this will be a routine every night before bed
This gives me so much hope. My entire life i have had this issue & muscle weakness 🙌🏽☺️ there is recovery thank u
Glad to read this!
I’ve seen a Chiro for over a year and he’s done wonders for me. I’ve had upper neck issues and my poor posture hasn’t helped. As a barber I find myself hunching over for good chunks of the day and that just adds to the stiffness in my neck, as the week goes on it’s like it gets worse and worse. The past week if I look to the side to quickly I get this shooting pain up the back of my head and this horrible dizziness. Just that few minutes of following along to these stretches with a hot towel and I feel like a million bucks. God bless you dude!
Thank you so much you avoided me paying for a chiropractor trip
Happy to help.
I love your series on occipital neuralgia.
Thanks for watching!
Wow. I did this and my headache is gone. Thank you. I’ll be doing this everyday.
Tried this just now and have some relief. Thank you for this!
You are so welcome... I love getting theses messages? Where are you located?
This is very helpful for my Occipital Neuralgia. Thank you for sharing this exercise routine for us to follow again & again...
So happy to read this Peter
I have had occipital neuralgia for 3 years. Tried everything you can think of from the moment it started to diagnoses to yesterday. All the meds, chiropractic care, injections…the whole thing. I came across your video last night and I’ve had the most relief I’ve had in THREE YEARS. I wish I’d found you long ago, but thank you. From the bottom of my heart and the top of my sad little achey head. Thank you.
u pair free?
Can you please do more occipital neuralgia exercise long videos like this one?
I just started having these pains a few days ago. They were not going away at all even with a bunch of Advil. Watched this video and tried your first towel stretch quick while in between making breakfast, and felt immediate relief. I look down all the time for my job unfortunately, I do go to the Chiro once a week but now I'm going to pay more attention to these stretches. Clearly I need to watch out, cuz an almost migraine all weekend has not been fun. Thank you!!
Glad it helped and thanks for sharing!
From UK: Yet to be officially diagnosed with this as tests for GCA negative. These stretches and exercises are clear and comprehensive. Most RUclips videos offer almost instant results, which isn’t realistic. I teach fitness but guess I’ve neglected to look after myself. I can’t live on painkillers so will follow these with commitment 3 times a day. Thank you so much for posting.
Has it helped
Had this pain for 7 months on the whole leftside of the head. This seems to finally fix something in there. Also when I take stairs while holding a weight on my left hand punches that area where my pain is located. Thanks, hopefully I will finally get rid of it, chiropractcant did not help my condition.
Thanks for sharing!
How are you doing now
Not so good, been to many chiropracricants and did many exercises for the last 2 years I had this. Fortunately pain went away completely but it left a problem behind it. My left side now feels like paralised, left nostril and also left breathing diaprham, I can't breathe with my left side and left nostril, also don't have chills and feelings like I used too on the left side of the head. Things get worse as soon as I do a little effort, even as little as moving a table. Less hearing less vision. Things seem to get a relief for a few hours when I walk for a while and stay on my feet, a posture corrector also helped a lot to improve my symptoms, been wearing it for a year. My shoulders look straight and ok now but the problem is still there, did phisical therapy, posture excercises almost everyday, accupuncture and lots of messajes, still no result. I'm seeing an osteopath on tuesday but I'm afraid I will have to live with this for a long time, I live in Romania, Europe and been to many people but other than massaje and cracking bones they don't seem to know what's causing my condition. I feel as my nerves get trapped at the base of my skull and its driving me crazy because I have to force breathe every minute which causes me a lot of stress and I can hardly relax anytime, also sleep quality is very bad. I just hope someday now that I will get better and not worse, I hope it will heal by itself and I will be better as it is impacting my every day life too much. Thank you for asking, I just went trough old videos from when I had the pain amd found my comment, will try doing the exercises in this video tomorrow see if it makes any difference.
@@AndreiRus775 have u done chin tucks?
@@Dankehum yes, chin tucks helped the symptoms very much, also massajing the sterno, am also doing chin tucks again now, hopefully will help again as they did in the past.
This is good stuff- I have been suffering since a child and it's grown much worse- seen some specialist, all say 'we'll all we can do is zap the nerves' only after tons of research I am learning more and more about my condition. Thank you for this video, I will add it to my PT. God bless you.
So happy to read your comments Keith! You are very welcome and ask me any questions you have...
@@pilatesaustintexas512 I sure will :) How many times a day and for what duration would you recommend these exercises? Also, I have really bad knots in the right scapula area and believe this all plays a part. Right scapular has some 'winging' and less mobility then the left.
@@keithb3015 the winging comes from a weak serratus anterior muscle. i dont have any videos for that but im sure you could find some here on youtube. i use a tennis ball on the knots by leaning into a wall with the ball in a pillow case and draped over your shoulder... exercises once a day is fine.
I've developed some wicked occipital neuralgia in the past 6 months. I've done a lot of these therapy videos. This series of movements together was very helpful for me today. ❤️
I have had this condition for about 8 months. I went to 2 doctors who absolutely did not care at all about my symptoms and failed to diagnose it after collectively more than 10 visits. I spent nearly $5000 on treatments for everything from Sleep Apnea to Hypertension
Turns out it was just my posture and being too sedentary
What a joke.
I like the idea of using using your legs to help with your posture...
I am suffering from it from so long in my life
I think I find cure thank you.
You are very welcome.
Just recently started having this sort of trouble and found this video. Thank you so much! It seems to be helping and it isn't that hard!
You're very welcome!
Im only 16 but I have a lot of stiffness in my suboccipital muscles and at the back of my skull. I get chronic tension headaches on my forehead and occipital area and get pressure behind my eyes. My eyesight has deteriorated heaps and my vision is very blurry much more in my right eye than the left. Another thing I am experiencing is that my head feels very unstable and wobbly especially when I try to keep my head up. I suffer from vertigo and dizziness, whenever I try to walk normally in school from class to class I am very uncoordinated and sway from side to side sometimes it feels like I am going to trip over. My mental ability has immensely declined as well, in the past year I have developed extreme brain fog that never goes away it feels like my brain is functioning at 10%. I don't really get thoughts anymore and my mind is just blank and its affecting me socially and my performance in school. Does anybody have feedback? I desperately need help.
Did you try the exercises in the video?
The exact thing is happening with me as well. I've been to multiple doctors with no cure. It's like i'm fine as long as i keep taking medicines only. The pain disturbs my daily activities as well. I hope i get some help with this video. I'm so fed up with medicines.
Have you recovered from this?
Thank you so much for your help, because i worried coz theres one time i woke up from a nightmare because i felt sudden strong pump at my occipital area that its kinda weird because as my heart race i felt like the nerve also race at the same time, then i relaxed myself slowly it dissapear..it was my first time experience that thing and i know that i always felt that tension in that occipital area and i thought it might be the reason.... I tried this excercises for now and i felt relieved.. I will always practice this thing...thank you so so so much
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the video it helped a lot have a blessed day
I am so happy that this video was helpful.
That exercise also cleared my sinuses. Such a quick relief. You are awesome

Yes i feel same..how r u now?
@@shilpamahajan3981 much better it got transferred to right side and came on and off later went to see the physiotherapist and he says its a muscle spasm due to my bad posture of sleeping throughout the day and scrolling over social medias....gave some medicines and therapy session i m feeling much better now.....jst dont search your symptoms in internet go and get a doctor's checkup.....good luck❤

I just want to thank you so very much - I woke with excruciating occipital neuralgia pain yesterday on a Saturday morning with lots planned for the day and have been desperately trying to find some help since as the pains are debilitating - have just done the exercises and found some of relief 🥲 it’s the only thing that has helped so far I shall continue doing these each day - thank you doesn’t even begin to express my gratitude. 🤕
So happy to read this!
Great, thanks 😊
You're welcome 😊
Can this exercise help with headache with burning symptoms as well ?
Chiropractor is what ruined my health, I decided to listen to my body ,because everything I tried made it worse. The MRI wasn’t ok but because I had one a yr ago,the Drs had something to compare it to. I’ve suffered from cluster migraines for yrs but this was different. It began up my throat,I feel like I have a bad absess infection inside my brain. It wasn’t an infection or migraine at all . I’m allergic to 90% of nerve medicine,but I have a blood vessel/ blood flow problem. My dad died really young. He had 3 strokes at 42 and he never smoked,drank wine 2 glasses red ,on holidays. So family history is so important. If I hadn’t gone and had that MRI then I’d be in even more trouble .
Come on Marshall.
i am also suffering from occipital neuralgia and pain is worse when i am sleeping so i thought maybe because of the pillow but even without its still painful, can’t sleep well because of the pain that even extends to shoulders
Thanks you
Thanks you for watching!
Thanks!
Much appreciated!
Great video.
Thanks for watching!
You can also do Makar aasan which is a yogic posture combining all these techniques.
I'm sure that y'all will get relief👍
the doctor prescribed me with some painkillers but still it didn’t did anything with the pain its very debilitating 😢😢
for 3 months now i get this random shooting stabbing pains in my head from the back if my head but also on top of my head on my temple side behind my ear mostly on my right side but the other too when i lay down its not there almost up til i start moving my head or stand up and doing chores than it shoots randomly my Mri was clear my meck showed a kyphosis i have some painful spot up at the bade of my neck when i push there it radiates the pain what can i do i already see a chiro
I like this video because I have occipital neuralgia, but I also have bilateral trigeminal neuralgia. Do you have any videos for trigeminal neuralgia?
I think my posture or due to working out has caused pain in the back of my head that sounds similar to what you describe doc. I’m only 18 with no existing medical conditions. Will doing physio and exercise be enough doc? Thanks for the video I definitely found relief in the chin tuck exercise 👍🏼
Yes this can be solved with some postural changes with exercise and getting the pressure off the nerve... Good luck with the exercises!
@@pilatesaustintexas512 Yes after trying out the exercises in your video I have been able stem the pain and now it’s gone thanks from Australia 👍🏻
My trouble started after chiro cracked my neck,i have arthritis in lower back,not sure if that part of problem ,hope your vid helps
I hope you find some relief!
If I’m feeling a lot of pressure in the occipital area/pain and also in the scapular area, after doing these exercises and possibly massage therapy for the shoulder area, what type of pillow and sleep position would you recommend? Sleeping on a rolled up towel isn’t doing the trick for me 😥 these headaches are killing me
My head is paining a lot, I hope it works.
Did this help you?
@@pilatesaustintexas512 yes , ofc
@@pilatesaustintexas512 u replied late tho lol

i thought expansion is done when the limbs are in a external oriented position and exhalation is done when on ground contact meaning internal rotation ...
Im not following your comment...
How often should you do this
I have a nerve swelled behind the head opposite the ear please please help me
Docs have not found the cause of my headaches and neck pain. Both are chronic and severe. Occipital neuralgia is what best describes the majority of my symptoms but I get relief when I lay down. I can no longer sleep on my side and the pain is worse on my left side. Is it normal to get relief when I lay down? I’m just trying to find out what I have so I can work on treatment. Doc appointments are far and few in between. Last appt was a steroid epidural in the c5-c7 (test ordered) and it did nothing.
Hallo, Schmerzen beginnen vor den rechten Seite, oder sogar von der linken seite? Thank you ..
What pillow is good cause I was using one especially for occipital it work for a little bit but then it was creating to much pain !!
good guy
I have a burning sensation on my forehead so bad. What should I do?
Did you try the exercises in the video?
I was wondering how many times a day should i do these?Thankyou in advance
If they help then you can do them multiple times per day. Try when the HA starts to come on and see if you can prevent it from coming or lessen the degree of it.
Hello friends Is Occipital Neuralgia Common? Thanks All the best
Hey I am suffering from this problem..i don't think so dear
I am suffering from occipital neuralgia from last 4 year's...my left side of head pains ...it can be cure permanently after doing this exercises?
I have had a neck fusion that went wrong from c1 to c7! I have occipital nerve migraines that I can't help with any medication, heating pads, ice, stretching, etc. Do you have any advice?
Sorry to hear your fusion was unsuccessful. Did it not fuse properly and its still unstable?
Can Occipital Neuralgia Completely Cure By This Exercises ?I Am Suffering From This Headache Right Now.I Am Afraid Of Medicines.
Tiger balm gives instant relief
How long does Tiger Balm last? That surely is not solving the problem nor the bad mechanics that cause occipital neuralgia...
Sir i have shock like pain in back side of head
near the place where hair is grown
is that serious sir
That is the area that occipital neuralgia causes pain.
I have cervical spondylosis with disc generation, can I do these excercise?
Yes, give it a go gently and see how it goes.
I m suffering the same should I use pillow while sleeping..I am little tense.. please do answer if anyone knows..
You can use a pillow but the pillow should be really low and soft
Cool!
Thanks for watching!
Is this exercise provides permanent cure for occipital neuralgia??
exercise can change the posture that is causing the nerve to be compressed.
@@pilatesaustintexas512 thanks for the reply... I am suffering for more than 6 years now..... I am not sure whether it is occipital neuralgia,but the symptoms that I am suffering is pain usually starts from right part of the head and it enters behind the eye..... The pain does last for 20 mins to 30 mins.. It is like some one pricking inside my eye... It is frustrating😤😤😤..... Hope this exercise helps... Thanks 😊😊
I have burning issues and stiffness in my scalp
How many times a day should I do it?
These can be done frequently, but dont overdo it at first. Start with AM, lunch and Pm and progress from there.
I am suffering burning experience on right back side of the head close to the neck. Is it symptoms of the occipital neuralgia.?
Is it at the very top of the neck and base of the skull? If so then it is a good chance it is Occipital Neuralgia.
Yes, pain is there. Please advise me to do anything for escaping from this pain
can do this in pregnancy??? plz suggest...

Is it possible to have occipital neuralgia/ a numb eye as a symptom. I don’t feel the nerve that connects to my eye anymore but I feel it on my left side :/
I also have a burning pain at the base of my skull that happens towards my ear
It is a different nerve that goes to the eye, it is one of the cranial nerves. the occipital nerve is coming out at the base of the skull and then wrapping up and over your head to just above the eye...
@@pilatesaustintexas512 okay thank you. So I guess I have two issues then 🤦🏽♀️

Thank you for your guidance 😊

Hi, thank you for sharing. How many times in a day should I perform this? Should I follow the exact duration in each excercises? I stopped lifting weights almost a month when this pain started, is it okay if I go back to gym like chest & shoulder excercises? Example, bench press, pec fly machine, dumbells,etc?
Hard to say exactly without assessing you and your condition. I teach my clients to perform more rowing and lat pull type exercises and less chest and biceps... most are already rounded forward and this is a contributor to headaches.
Yes, it goes to my neck, shoulder and lower part of shoulder. My xray result states that I have "slight cervical lordosis maybe due to muscle spasm". It keeps coming back almost everyday for 2months now. "Pushing your feet against the floor" is very important and som PT dont teach this. I combined your ideas with another channel I searched and the pain slowly subsides. In my case, I focus in atlanto-occipital joint and it works.
@@sweetbandi5354 The feet really help you to use your lower chain and core instead of just focusing on the neck and chin tucks... Glad it helps, where are you located. I love seeing how far and wide this youtube brings the content...
I'm from Philippines. Based on your experience, how long does it take for this to heal completely? I managed to lessen the muscle spasm pain in my shoulder but still the neuralgia keeps coming back. Is it the neuralgia the one that causes muscle spasm or the other way around?
@@sweetbandi5354 Hey Mal dito, i'm living in the philippines too, I have this problem too for now 3 years, I've seen 3 different chiropractors, one seem to help but my problem is still here, it also started from the gym... I'm really desperate, let me know if you ever find anything useful, goodluck...
I have it left side
Has anything helped?
I dont feel any pain when I'm lying down, but all the symptoms serm to suggest I'm suffering from occipital neuralgia. Could it be something else??
Are you laying on your back when you do not have pain?
@@pilatesaustintexas512 yes, I am, and I don't really feel that one-second pain in the back of my head (it runs to the top of my head too). When I stand uo and go about doing my usual tasks, it comes up randomly 🥺 i honestly have very bad posture and it has gotten worse since last yr when I spent more time in front of my computer. I keep pestering my psychiatrist that I'm worried it's a brain tumor or something and she keeps assuring me it isn't because if it were I would have the worst headaches. Being diagnosed with illness anxiety disorder really makes me magnify the pain more than what it is 🥺
@@anap.618 This is the same case with me. I have no issues when I lie down but as soon as I start walking or doing chores I have sharp shooting pain at the back of my head. My doctor mentioned that it's not tumor but due to extensive time I spend doing office work on laptop. Almost a year since this is happening. Hoping this exercise helps. 🙏

Hi I am from India. I was looking for my some physiotherapy consultation for my sister. She has been suffering from this issue. Is there anyway I can get in touch with you over a Skype call or any video call.
Yes I do telehealth calls... II offer 30minute video calls that allows me to ask questions, see the posture and mobility and provide advise on home exercises....
Siddharth Roy give your no please
Sid..I'm also suffering with this since last 4 months.. initially started in 2012.. I'm thinking to go neuroscience hospital Kolkata
@@Nandita_APO_Nabagram I think you should get your Vitamin D test done. It seems Vit D deficiency causes some of these pains. 30 min to 45 mins sunlight for long run and for temporary relieve you should consult some physician and get some vit D supplements if you are low on it.
Siddharth Roy I suffer with this and I’ve been taking a Vitamin D supplement for 2 years and it does nothing for this condition
I think I have this from going to heavy on a kettlebell snatch. The headaches stopped but I fee muscular pain in the back of the head/neck and sometimes a “pushing or tingling “ feelings.
Would you stay away from lifting?
I would stay away from the things that aggravate it until the inflammation is down.
@@pilatesaustintexas512 thank you!
And your front neck stretch with the chin tuck combo has helped a lot. I shared it with a friend :)
@@raphaeltrevisan1733 So happy to hear this.
Be careful with the exercise shown. I probably pushed down too hard with my legs and my right knee has been stiff and sore after doing these exercises only once.
Thanks!
