    You are a legend - I have seen spinal surgeons and spent thousands on Spect scans and they have no clue. Thank you so much for your fantastic exercises.

    A few years ago I developed this knot and tension in my upper and middle right side of my back, right by my shoulder blade. The moment I got it was when I quickly looked up once after looking down for 4 straight hours during a final exam and something in my upper middle back and neck didn't feel right. Because I sit at a desk in front of a computer 40+ hours a week it has gotten worse. I feel a knot in the area and I even developed a habit of constantly yanking my neck forward to stretch that area. People noticed that I started doing that and it made it even worse. I bought a massage ball and didn't even know how to use it. Every time I would feel some type of stress, that area would bother me all over again and I would yank my neck over and over or rub the knot with my hand if I could reach it. I felt discomfort every time I shot a basketball or went fishing. The worst happened when I squeezed my neck backwards to relieve the pain and ended getting a pinched nerve in my neck on two different occasions.
    I watched this video last night and realized that the root of my problem was my posture when I sat at my computer.
    I followed these 6 exercises last night, and ALL the pain disappeared. I kept my posture straight all day and I can tell my neck and body isn't used to having better posture but I rather develop these small muscles that I neglected over time than ever live with that knot from hell. I'm still pain free.
    This video was amazing for me. Thank you.

    Been dealing with this for years....began body building and only after back training does my back feel better. What he says about maximal contraction is what body building is all about...most people don't know how to squeeze a muscle really hard and that's why they workout and look the same after years of training. I will give these tips a try.

    This video just changed my year. Thank you. I work from home but recently I have been off work due to chronic back pain. This pain has been serious and more recently I started having muscle spasms in my upper back. When I tell you my muscles would feel swollen after one of these attacks.. it was awful. I was putting so much pressure on my spine holding my head forward that it injured the spine. When this happens your muscles naturally restrict your movement to prevent further damage. This is compounded by restricted muscles due to chronic bad posture. My doctor gave me nsaids and sent me on my way but nothing changes and my problem has only gotten worse.. I've literally cried from this pain. This video and one other (the swimmer pose one) has immensely improved my problem in one night. Thank you thank you thank you. You are a healer! Now I can begin to finally heal.
