The one that works best for me is that I take both arms behind my neck with the wrists outside the pivotal bone and lift up and look up and wiggling my wrists just under the hard points of the skull and then rotate and wiggling my neck in the process of all this for decompression. Thanks for sharing all this important information and I am trying this right now 😀 👍
Rheumatoid when it's severe
I take Rinvoque but still I'm so stiff
Please do video
Please rowe help me.
I had shoulder dislocated it is very painful
Upload recover exercise please🙏
Thanks Doc ...may I ask your favor to share with us what kind of exercise for those people Who are on wheelchair esp. for their back bone. Thanks 🙏🏻
You are amazing ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much 💕💕💕
Man you have changed my life... Studying on table with stiff neck is struggle...but now i can move easily....
Glad you found the video, and I hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
Good morning I have been watching your video i was involved in motor accident and 2rd cervical vertebrae was displacement and still in pain I can't turn neck and server neck pain can I still carry out this exercises
This is literally what my physioterapist taught me the last week. It works amazingly
U r right. I learned lymphatic massage and my sifu teach me these technique...as a volunteer health staff I used to help many people using these technique not only for their neck/ shoulder but for the whole body and there's a right way to do it. It's a great help to ease blocked lymph system so that our body toxin can be easily plushed out 🙏🏻
Had neck stiffness on one side for some days and that first exercise made it go way instantly. Thank you!
That's fantastic!
The "spoon treatment" that Dr. Rowe describing is actually an ancient treatment that the Vietnamese have been using for centuries, called "coining". It is one heck of a effective treatment to combat stiff neck or sore muscle or body ache. For better result, they use medicated oil such as tiger balm or any available topical cream to rub on the affected area, then use a quarter coin or spoon to scratch in the same downward fashion with a steady & comfortable force until the skin gets red. Notice how the skin gets darker when the pain is more severe. Be careful not to over scratch or the skin can break and bleed.
This method would work best if followed with steaming therapy.
I've always known it as 'gua sha'... interesting!
What a legend....
Mate, I've said before and I'll say it again, because of you people feel that little bit better in the mornings .
Thanks 🙏
Well thank you, and really glad you're getting a lot of relief from the exercises!
I am sore more places than not. Thank you for being the voice and teacher for relief!
I have such bad neck and shoulder pain and have bought so many massagers and tools over the years! These exercises, especially with the towel, have been just what I needed! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips and all of your videos they are much appreciated!
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
My sister used to have a chronic neck pain. So glad we finally found something that helped her in s natural way. :)
Yes, the stiff neck and shoulders is awful.
@home Diary you should talk to my sister about how she got rid of her chronic neck pain.
Yes Towel!!
Very helpful, useful exercises for managing and eliminating daily pain issues.
Thank you! I'm still learning, but so far, so good. Your explanations are easy to follow, and your "cautions" are appreciated.
I can't afford my chiropractor anymore. Plus, I moved 30 minutes farther away. Chronic stress from caring for elderly loved one with dementia plus related financial struggles mean neck, shoulder & upper back pain, knots, and pinched nerves. Sometimes I get a shooting pain or the pain is accompanied by nausea. I've been able to get some relief watching your videos and am sure with more time and practice, it'll get even better . Thank you for this valuable service you are providing.
Ohhh wow. Thank you Dr. Rowe. I have been in pain for the last couple days and getting worse. I jumped on You Tube and there you were. Life changing, simple techniques. Thank you soooo much
I finally figured out what a passive stretch is! Today was the day for me to get it. After watching and listening to you here, I began to understand what makes it passive is that the muscle is not moving on its own; it's being moved, by something else. Got it! :)
I have scoliosis and cervical kyphosis and neck pain is common enough, but when I strain a muscle in my sleep, like I did a day ago...I just keep my neck active and wait for it to resolve. These exercises just eliminated the wait time. Thank you!
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
I don't normally attempt work on my car at 75 years old and with neck osteoarthritis. This weekend I tried to fix something that required me to work in a really uncomfortable position under a wheel arch. After a month of following these exercises I had a go and managed to do the job. Am I pleased! Thank you Dr Rowe.
I have elevated blood pressure, which often manifests in constant head/neck pain on the right side. These techniques are really useful.
Try lowering sodium intake. If you live in the U.S, we have very high daily sodium
Hi doctor, I find this video very helpful. I am a 63 years of age female with plenty of problems around the spine and specifically in neck area where I had a double c-fusion (more problematic on the right side). I will try most of the stretches recommended by you and I’m almost certain that they will be useful to me. I may add to those one more additional move utilizing the spoon - that of slowly running it along the soles of the feet and may be over the problematic areas, where it hurts the most, in order to “demagnetize” the body. Thankfully yours: Savka
I love all of your videos 😍
They're so simple, easy and work so well.
I'm hoping that you can start focus on fixing nerve problems. I'll be watching some thank you,
Bryan
Came across this video today and cannot believe how these simple exercises have relieved a very painful stiff neck, thank you
I did the towel rotational stretches today, during lunch. This method is my favorite, and I am so grateful to have learned this from you!
Glad it’s helping you, and thanks for watching!
I got cracks, warm surges at the top of my head, my ears felt as if they were unblocking. My upper trapezoid, right shoulder a little sore but I feel so relaxed. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
These have helped me so much. I woke up yesterday with an awful stiff neck. Tried this this am and my neck pain is about 80% gone, just after doing a few of these
very helpful. Thanks a lot. I was in so much pain but now I feel much better.
Just what I needed to see for my daughter. She wakes up some mornings with a stiff neck. Thankyou
Hope it helps, and please give us an update soon!
I think Memory Foam makes mine Worse.
Thank you! Been having ocsssional but debilitating stiff neck that can come with migraines that lead to nausea for decades; as a working mom I can't always get to the chiropractor. This is a wonderful solution!
Your videos are so helpful! We appreciate you.
After being in severe pain for almost two weeks, I came across and followed Dr Rowe's "spoon massage technique" to the back of the neck (from another previous video)....it helped out and I was pain free within a few days. Thank You... Love from South Africa
That's great to hear, glad it's giving you relief!
After 22 years of back and neck pain, this video helped me a lot when we had our daughter in 2001 my wife was struggling with neck pain and last year when she watched this video she had no more neck pain thank-you doctor your a big help coming to you from the Uk
On the fourth day of severe neck and shoulder pain I’ve had enough of losing sleep due to waking up from sharp pains shooting up my neck, so far I can feel some relief after doing multiple stretches, will continue to repeat as needed for the next couple days to see if things get better, pills and creams were barely taking the pain away only for it to come back again in the morning, thanks for the tips.
Thanks - the trick with the towel (11.33) is super useful thank you. I've had upper back and neck pain for 35 years but still learning!
Glad it helped and THANK YOU so much for supporting the channel. I appreciate it! - Dr. Rowe -
This helped me so much. I looked all over RUclips and I think this one actually relieved my pain and now I don't have any pain.
Glad you found the video and it's helping you!
I've had neck pain on my right side for 18 months now I definitely will try these exercises thanks heaps
These exercises relaxed me instantly..beautiful
Can’t thank enough. These really helped a lot. Especially the towel method 👍🏼
Just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I woke up with a really bad neck spasm the other day and it had progressively gotten worse since. I’m pregnant so I obviously wanted to avoid any pain medication. I tried massaging it but it only helped for a second before the pain came back. I tried your spoon-technique today (but with a guasha instead) and for the first time in days I’m finally able to move around without pain. It’s still a little sore but not nearly as bad as when I woke up this morning. So thank you so much for posting this video. It’s a huge help.🙏🏻
Thank you!! I appreciate the speed at which you teach the various methods. I paused to work on the ones that really needed more time, and sped through the ones that were not such a problem area for me.
Thanks for watching!
I have had a stiff neck for awhile and I did some of what showed but now I can take to next level or levels! Thank you so much for your input and help! You are a blessing! 🙏🏻❤️😊
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
Even if I thank u hundred times it will not be enough. I had very bad experience of neck pain after long driving.
U r a blessing thanku doctor😊
Thank you sweetie. I really needed to learn the proper way to massage tension out my neck. This method really works! 🙂. Thank you again.

It's been 2 days. Your tip on spooning helps like magic, i could turn my neck with less pain after 15mins, cheers!
Recently transitioned to a career path that involves much more time at the desk. So glad I found this channel. I found the 'armpit sniffer' especially helpful for the neck stiffness i was having.
Glad you found the channel too, and thanks for watching!

Fantastic. What a relief. I wish I knew the causes. Obviously these are postural pains. I think mine more is caused by the way I sleep more so than by sitting at the computer for long hours which is another factor. A change in lifestyle is the way to go.

Oh my gosh 😢❤ I suffer with chronic migraines (caused by neck and back issues). After a particularly bad night of sleep, my neck had been frozen for 3 days. Im CONSTANTLY trying things to help with the pain. Electric massagers, ice/heat packs, hot baths, medicine, you name it.
This workout released it!!! AND the headache that came with it. I literally was so relieved I cried. Thank you so much for providing this information, it will help so many people ❤❤
So helpful thank you

The spoon technique did it for me! I woke up with the worst stiff painful neck. Tried massage, but couldn’t fight the pain. That is until I came across your video with the spoon technique! That made is so much better ! I have better movement and the pain is reduced significantly. Thanks Doc !
I have had upper back and neck pain for 35 years, but am always learning new techniques to manage it. The trick with using a towel (11.30) is really clever thankyou! - this means I can now sometimes adjust my neck when it's jammed whereas stretching laterally without the towel wouldn't quite get it to release. Great tip thankyou!
Great tips that are very evective!
This was beautifully executed and so easy to follow along with. Thank you for sharing!
You just attained a new subscriber! 🙏🏻
Hello 👋 How are you doing today??
Glad it's helping, and thanks for the sub!
I am looking forward to doing the towel traction one. I have major stiffness in my neck from adhesions in my shoulder, clavicle area and arm pit area from cancer surgeries and radiation therapy. Thank so much for this video!
Hope it helps, and please give us an update soon.
Great work thanks !
Im going to try these. Marvellous tips.
Hope the exercises help!
