Rather follow his advice. A friend massaged my neck and I was in pain, practically disabled, for about seven days. A neck os nobody's theme park. Doctor told me afterwards my friend could have caused me to sit in a wheelchair for life.
These techniques should definitely only be used and applied by a fully trained and licensed massage therapist! That being said it would be extremely difficult for a non-trained person to cause the kind of damage you are describing unless they used extreme pressure such that you'd want to immediately ask them to stop and/or sudden forceful movements. Even those are unlikely to do lasting damage unless there is an underlying structural defect such as a malformed vertebrae or floating bone chip due to a prior whiplash incident.
@fresta5968 in most cases yes as the lifting and rocking techniques will help stretch out the deep extensors and encourage C5 to shift back towards neutral. However, if the client is experiencing acute nerve impingement symptoms, these may be too much at first and I’d recommend traction as the first approach.
@@bodyworksdwnycThank you. I'm currently experiencing this now. Trace retrolithisis of c5 and c6, but I'm having pain on the right side of my neck, shoulder, and all the way into my hand. Been this way for months. Just got the MRI that shows retrolithisis and I have injections scheduled soon. They sound like a bandaid for the problem. I hope they send me to physical therapy to treat the problem and not just the symptoms.🤞🏻
@@fresta5968 I actually have the exact same issue. Needed to do about 2 months of PT to really get out of pain. Massage helps too but the PT is really important.
Glad to find this. I feel I do the neck the same every time. Look forward to more videos by you
Thanks Wendy! Def more coming soon….editing as we speak :)

Do you recommend this for someone who has retrolithisis of the c5-c6?
