The One Neck Stretch No One is Doing for Forward Head Posture & Neck Pain - Dr Mandell

  • Опубликовано: 12 сен 2016
  • Forward head posture causes the deep neck flexors to become shortened and contracted in the front of the neck causing other surrounding muscles to become over-worked and spasm. This is one of my favorite and least known stretch in the medical community. I believe this stretch will help take you to the next level of recovery and healing. Good Luck and Fast Healing! Dr M

    Tried all the exercises from 3 of your videos.and haven't been so relieved in years. Thank you so much sir. I am a an endodontist by profession and this trapezius pain and neck clicking have been there since I started with the clinical work during my undergraduation. Lucky to have come across your video.

    Thank goodness for you!! I suffered with the inability to turn my head for decades; I may have relief for a few days but mostly it was pain and inability to move my head. I also dislocated my pelvis and lived with it for 15 years...cramped and locked glute muscle with painful scar tissue; add to that tennis elbow that grew into a completely frozen shoulder. Your video...this one was the start of my recovery and I could never thank you enough. It has been so hard to get thru these things but with your information and MOTIVATION I now feel like I can live for the first time in 35 years. I have learned alot from you as well as some other talented therapists on RUclips. If my feedback on what I have learned can help I would be more than happy to share. You are a hero Dr. Mandell...my own personal hero. Thank you with all my heart. You didn't just help me make it a great day...you did so much more. Much love to you and yours in your practice...never a day goes by that I don't think of you.

    Hey Dr Mandell, I just want to let you know I really appreciate everything I’ve learned from you. As a dentist who often deals with myofascial pain and bruxism in conjunction with OSA, you have given me a few very good techniques to help my patients with. You have also helped me eliminate my migraines in one day just from your atlas/axis techniques, and believe me I’ve done it all. Good on you and keep it up. I will stay tuned and subscribed.

    Hello from far Latvia. This stretch immediately relieved the spasm in a back of my neck (around C7) that I have been suffering for 6 month, unable to get rid of it even by daily physiotherapy exercises that I've been doing for past 3 month. Thank you a lot Dr.Mandell. Indeed you are the only one who recommended to stretch the front flexors instead of rear once that seem to be already overstretched (straight neck syndrome). God bless you!

    Thanks Dr. Alan Mandell. For 5 days going on 6 I have had blurred vision, dizziness, and tingling down my left arm from only what I assume is sleeping in a bad position in a hotel bed. It is freaking me out the blurred vision but watching your videos and doing your neck stretches are helping me to feel slightly better and help to alleviate some of these symptoms. Not only are you helping me to understand that neck issues can be causing these symptoms, you are giving answers to help alleviate.
    Thank you for producing these videos and fingers crossed I get some relief!!

    I got FAITH in you and Bob and Brad, cuz ya healed my neck shoulder
    bursitis and severe sciatica.
    I'm a back-sleeper, and I recently healed my severe sciatica in less
    than a week, by simply putting a pillow under my knees when sleeping.
    It was so bad, when I'd get up in the morning, it felt like I was being
    poked in the R hip with a burning knife. Even if you're not a back
    sleeper, the pillow under knees is very comfortable, and Imo, if you can
    at least begin sleeping like this, it will help alleviate and realign
    your lower spine and possibly cure you.
    PS: Got this from MotDoc.
    If you suffer from (I-phone..laptop head-forward, shoulder and neck pain), I cured that
    again as a back-sleeper, by rolling up a medium towel with a pillow case
    held together with rubber bands, sleeping with it under my neck. That
    took a little longer, 2-3 weeks, but I'm cured. :)

    Hi Doc,
    & thank you for being here. I'm 66 and have had neck issues for over a decade. It it now to the breaking point for me. Been doing data processing on a computer for almost 30 years. Also a drummer vocalist. When I woke up the next morning from my last gig, I suffered from equilibrium issues, headache, nausea, increase pain & chronic pulsitile tinnitus. Diagnosed with Alkaloid Spondilitus. Have osteoarthritis throughout my body. There is chronic pain in my left shoulder/neck etc. Sometimes I just feel like giving up on living. Doctors only suggest steroid shots or surgery or never address the issue but just the symptoms. I will give these exercises a try to see if I can get a little relief. I also just ordered the "Posture Pump" to see if that will help some of my issues. Sorry for the long winded post...
    Thanks
    Steve T.

    Dr. Mandell You hit another miracle. When I was 18, I had a motor scooter accident. The back wheel of my scooter flipped out from under me going 50MPH. I scraped all of my back and broke my clavicle bone in three places. What you just showed me instantly removed the pain I have every day until I pull back the shoulder ... Crack and pain is gone. But, this procedure did that more easily than trying to pull my shoulder apart. Yet another miracle by Dr. Mandell. ... Pain all gone WOW thank you Dr. Mandell!
    PS: I have been watching your videos and this one is the closest to that particular pain. I am always clicking on your videos, and will always give you thumbs UP! So there you have it
    ... "YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY."
