If you'd like to see more Top 3 Tips videos for others regions of the spine - like the neck or lower back - or some other area of the body, leave your suggestion in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
Would love to see top 3 tips on any areas of the spine/neck. Hubby recently hurt his back lifting heavy object and after xray/mri discovered, amongst other things.... "a moderate sized right paracentral disc protrusion at L5-S1" which is causing him terrible sciatic pain in his right leg and movement issues. So a video with top 3 tips for that area would be particularly helpful. Also, a request for a video specifically regarding all things spinal discs. 😊
Oh boy, I'm a mess, this will take awhile for me to get used to, thank you so much for your hard work and help for us that are out of shape with our lumbar and thoracic spine.
Exercise 1 and 3 I can work on (slowly), but exercise 2 is a real challenge for me. By trying all of them with you just sitting on the couch I can feel a little bit of relief. Do you have any videos on how relieve pain in the arms, especially debiitating pain in the biceps and triceps? I think my pain might be coming from elsewhere, but I don't know where. I can barely do the dishes etc as I will pay the price during the night and days after. Any videos on how to release this awful pain would be appreciated! thank you
So glad this gave you some relief, Caroline! Unfortunately, without an examination and knowing where the arm pain is coming from, it's difficult to say. I would suggest seeing a qualified practitioner in your are to have the problem assessed.
@@painfixprotocol with me i believe some of this could be the neck or chest, ribs breathing , i have it also and Yoni is correct, i am trying to help that with Somatics, but, aometimes i think i might need personal or qualifiwd attention.
Thanks so much, Dr Whitten, for this helpful video. I am a septuagenarian, in good physical shape, except for my rounded thoracic spine and forward head. I am already doing some exercises, but adding the ones in this video will advance my progress,. This area of the body is problematic for people of all ages today, so any & all exercises that you share would help many of us, not just senior citizens like myself. Again, thank you SO MUCH, Dr Whitten.❤
Thank you for this very helpful video!! So when you say the back of your head to the wall, what you mean is the lower part of your skull to the wall correct?
Thanks you so much! It's an interesting thought. The answer is maybe. I could see it it being very helpful in mid-late stage rehab. But it will depend on what's causing the impingement, individual anatomy and whether the condition is acute or chronic.
Thank you I have a lot of tightness in this area. I do a lot of yoga. I am wondering if you feel there are benefits in doing the modified reverse plank instead of the traditional reverse plank as long as my form is good?
The modified reverse plank is a more "user friendly" version of the movement but, it's typically just a stepping stone on the way to a traditional reverse plank. If you can already do the traditional version with proper technique, absolutely use it.
The good news, Ruth is that it's never too late to make improvements. With severe forward head position, I typically use a thicker support behind people's head to get them into a neutral position and keep them more comfortable.
would it be a good idea to do this lying down on our backs until we make is stronger and not shake so much.I have a brain injury and have been left with poor coordination, so this might be a reason, but ?

Thank you for this very helpful video!!
So when you say the back of your head to the wall, what you mean is the lower part of your skull to the wall correct?
So glad it was helpful!
The spot we're aiming for is just superior to the external occipital protuberance.
I love your channel. Is exercise #2 good to help an impinged shoulder?
Thanks you so much!

@@painfixprotocol thank you for replying. You have so many beneficial videos-THANK YOU!!!!!
I think it's too late for me since I already have 2 compression fractures, T-11-12. On the wall exercise, my head is about 5 in. away from the wall.
The good news, Ruth is that it's never too late to make improvements. With severe forward head position, I typically use a thicker support behind people's head to get them into a neutral position and keep them more comfortable.
