So agree with all of the comments. This entire channel is 10x better than any if the paper printouts or even video links that you get in PT (at least in the United States). Way better explained, much better video quality. Can’t thank you enough for ALL if it. I’ve shared it with doctors! Now, I need to stop typing this because my neck is F**king killing me! 😂
Thank You Jesus for this passion/ministry/calling. You don't know how much your videos have helped me within the past 3 days! 7 years of year round track and field, 3 car wrecks in 6 months, 2 ACL surgeries and multiple physical therapy and chiropractic visits....NONE of them have relieved my pain and understood my struggle I the way that your videos do. Your explanations and attention to detail makes me feel heard. I am so appreciative and I have hope that I can get my body back. That it isn't lost to continual tightness and pain. Thank you 💗
I've been dealing with cervical radiculopathy for just over a month and have been doing some exercises but it's still painful. I wasn't able to get into PT for the first three weeks of my pain which was quite bad. During that time I scoured YT for any video with exercises for cervical radiculopathy - now that I am a month in I found Tim and his videos. This is one of the best videos to explain how my issue likely happened and what to do to get better. Many videos just say to not do an exercise if there's pain, but Tim's comment on backing off and just working with the range of motion you have and keep doing reps is gold! Also, the comment about when the pain is acute you need to do more retraction instead of just a typical 2 x 10 reps a day type treatment plan - that is making a huge difference as well. Great video - can't recommend enough! Thank you
I was feeling pain/discomfort at touch on my spine between the scapula's height, then i decided to do the exercises and the pain went away, kinda impressed lol
Wonderful! Got any tips for how to breathe during these exercises? I find myself tending to hold my breath. Also, I'm not acute, have no actual pain, but trying to be preventive: what do you think about using a weight-lifter's head harness and doing retractions/extensions while bent forward (standing flexing at hips)?
Best thing I’ve ever heard. I am in the acute stage and have had horrendous tightness and pain in my left trap and rhomboids for about two months. This is a really good explanation. Thank you so much. I have a C6 hernia and I always thought that the extension exercises was pinching the hernia, even more and making it worse but my chiropractor told me the same thing you did. Extension is not fun but I’ll do it with supporting with my hands. I am an occupational therapist and I work in a rehab gym, so I will be able to do this multiple times throughout the day. I have the perfect environment for it. LOL
This is the most comprehensive video I've come across on the cervical disc issue. You have explained the mechanics of causation beautifully. I have lateral foraminal narrowing C5-6. I hope it helps me.
Both my shoulders were killing me with pain and no amount of stretching or anything helped. I started your exercises and got relief in just 2 days. It was all coming from my neck. Crazy! Thanks for the great info!
Hello. I have left foramina stenosis along C3 to C7. I am experiencing chronic neck pain along left side, chronic dizziness and sensation of brain fog. I have seen my spine doctor and mentioned that the dizziness may not be coming from my neck. Will you recommend these exercise or do you have any recommendations I can utilize at home. Thanks much
Hi Tim Another great video. Do you have any video regarding minimising or preventing the slumping of your back (other than the standing desk part). That would be greatly beneficial. Thank you
What could I do if I’m an athlete that has jus gotten off a pinched nerves injury in my neck and wanna do stretches for like a rehab kinda. Making sure my neck is 100%
Sorry so basically I’m and athlete that was injured for a week bcs of pinched nerves in my neck. I was asking for stretches to help it or if I can do the same ones in the video. But I’m ok now I’ve gotten over it and my neck is okay👌🏽👍🏽
I tried the chin retraction exercise so many times but I cn't seem to feel it in the front like at all and I'm trying to squeeze and all I feelt is tension at the back of the neck . My question is should we elevate the tongue up to feel the movement and if so how cuz everytime I try it i feel like I'm chocking or something . Also I have just at the end of the neck two bones sticking out ( a hump) that bothers me so much as well as upper trap stiffness . Is there any simple but effective exercises I can do ? Thank you so much btw

Brilliant video. Very practical tips, and extremely well explained. Thank you Tim!

Good timing for me. I've had a tension headache for 2 days now...
Hope it helps!

Super news - keep up the stretches!

For those re-positioning their keyboard dont forget about mouse placement too. That damn mouse!
Fede p
This was so helpful! Best explanation I’ve found.

You're the best physio I've seen online by a country mile. I just wish you were in Melbourne!!

You may need to doing the supine ones the most. A good neck Physio is also a great option
So so helpful thank you
👍
Hey Tim. Thanks for the video. Is an arm rest not necessary in the office chair?
It is good for a short depth desk where your keyboard has to be right on the edge
Hi Tim
Another great video. Do you have any video regarding minimising or preventing the slumping of your back (other than the standing desk part). That would be greatly beneficial. Thank you
Perhaps have a look at the lower trap and lumbar stability videos
Thanks, Tim.
How about another updated video on your bro in law's achilles?
The full program is out you can check it at: physiorehab.com/rehab-programs-achilles-injury-surgery-rehab
Thankyou for this one. Curious is your chair ergonomic? And retraction in my neck was quite unfamiliar so probably needed that stretch.
No it’s not a fancy one as I don’t sit much
Are these good for a C5 6 pinched nerve?❤

Sorry could you rephrase that?
