Very effective! Worked the left arm and afterwards, the left shoulder, neck, upper chest and rib areas felt so much freer than the side I hadn’t done. Immediately gave increased range of motion and more relaxed muscles. Amazing how such a localized technique affected a broad area. Thank you!
Corona anxiety has turned my hands into claws. One round of this has already gotten the thumb pain I've had for weeks to recede. I'm going kayaking tomorrow and I was super worried about being able to grip my paddle. Thanks for giving me a new tool to take care of myself.
I just now got around to watching this video even though I flagged it as a “watch later” when you first uploaded it, and I’m so glad to have more techniques to add to the list of fascia release that I have incorporated into my daily routine! One day I’ll work up the courage to share my journey with you and your followers; it’s very long and intricate but it’s not totally different from what you have been through and what I suspect the majority of your followers have too. I didn’t realize that so many of my habits and benign body quirks were red flags of what my future would hold regarding chronic pain and I didn’t realize how affected one is by past trauma. I finally have come to understand that it’s all connected and not necessarily one thing since we are made up of so many different parts all in one body. Someone who had a bad childhood is likely to develop bad body habits like jaw clenching, rounded forward shoulders, and hanging the head downwards. That then leads to other parts compensating and developing abnormal positions and eventually it’s going to cause you pain. Thank you so much for what you do and I hope that you start doing Skype sessions again! Much love from DC!
Elisha! I love this so much. My forearms get SO much relief. I'm always on my phone or the computer especially lately! And this hS helped so much♡ doing a 1 week challenge and hopefully work up to a month! Thank you so much! It's really helped!
thank you!! I tried this and wow at the relief... I had elbow surgery in 2018 for Ulnar nerve compression and extensor tendon release, and the pain returned after a fall injury 9 mos ago. Not wanting to resort to another surgery, I have searched and searched.... thank you thank you thank you.
Again thankkksss for this. I tried it and was so surprised how precise it could feel with the elbow (I had been doing your older release sequence with the underside of the arm), then I shared it on my FB and one person who had just had tennis elbow said she tried it once and she noticed an improvement already. YOU ROCCCCCKKKK!!!! P.S. After doing this, I felt my grips becoming freer (I work at a supermarket, so I do a lot of gripping).
Just tried it, and it’s a great update, thanks so much honey. I set crossed legged, and put my foam roller in my lap, and used it as my table.... it worked great. Thanks again for all you videos 🌴💕🌴💕🌴
As a mountain biker i can definitely feel the pain on this one. Planning on trying this a lot, as I have tons of neck pain and can already imagine this making big differences. Thanks.
You’re a Bonaire genius!!! I’m an engineer with a desk job...I lift heavy and I have elbow, shoulder and neck issues!!!!! Spot on! I put elbow to forearm and immediately found thick ropes and copious amounts of tenderness! Then a big CRACK came out of my shoulder. I’m gonna keep working on them but THANK YOU so much for sharing this information!!!
Your previous extensor/flexor stretching video helped cure my two year long struggle with tennis elbow so thank you SO much!!!! I’m struggling now with wrist/hand pain - I can’t put any weight on my wrist - for example, doing a push up, or using my hand to push myself up off a chair or the ground causes pain across the back of my hand (it’s not shooting or nervy pain, just extremely sore pain.) Any videos you would recommend? This one?
Awesome, so glad to hear of your success - thanks for sharing and inspiring others! I know this may seem counterintuitive, but I would actually try releasing your LATS or triceps.
This is the good good. Muchas gracias! I did it, it REALLY hurt, and I did it again and it REALLY hurt again, and then my shoulder REALLY hurt, and then it all stopped. There's still tenderness there; I think it goes up and downstream But it's a start. Thank you! Oh, and I used a kettlebell for pressure at one point and it was easy to find clunks!
What do you do if you can’t reach your shoulder to your opposite forearm? I have really tight shoulders. I can’t even do eagle arms in yoga. Thanks for the videos, they have been very helpful in reducing back pain!
Hey Curtis - I would recommend finding my videos on shoulders, and doing those first and then come back to this video! I recommend doing my triceps, lats and rear deltoid videos for shoulders that feel tight on the outside (if raising your arm to the side and up to your head feels challenging), and my biceps and chest release if your shoulders are forward rotated.
I can almost guarantee there's something you could do to open up the fascia around your elbow(s) that would free you up to do this technique. And it may be this one you need the most. I'd try the brachialis technique using a lacrosse ball (you can find it on this channel or the blog), the biceps and triceps to start.
that could also be a faulty breathing , mechanics pattern. we are all human and gravity puts a right rotation shear on the neck and spine... PRI exercises could also fix it, i guess

I found out about you on Pinterest & tried this for some kind of relief on my elbows. IT ROCKED MY WORLD!!! I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for this video! I love what you are showing here and I really appreciate your enthusiasm with bodies!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I think you’re saving my life!

You're welcome! Thank you for sharing your results, I know it will inspire someone else 🙏🏽✨

I will definitely try this!

Wonderful! You're welcome, thank YOU for being here and always willing to try new things with me XO
I sat crossed legged too, and just used my knee. Worked great.
As a mountain biker i can definitely feel the pain on this one. Planning on trying this a lot, as I have tons of neck pain and can already imagine this making big differences. Thanks.
Oh YES, I've worked on a lot of mountain bikers here in CO with forearm tightness from gripping those handlebars! Glad this worked for you!
This saved my life, honestly! Thank you!🙏🏻❤️
Yay, I LOVE hearing this! 😊
I’m a huge supporter! Will be reviewing all the RUclipss that will help me!

Tried it and felt quickly how it even released my shoulder! Thank you!
Amazing, thank you for sharing!

Hey Geoffrey, long time no see :) LOVE it, thanks for sharing your experience using this one!
@@ElishaCeleste You bet! I'm lurking around; I just don't say much. Thanks for all you do, Elisha!

Unfortunately, I can't use my elbow as a tool due to cubital tunnel syndrome.
