I stumbled upon your video while doing research for my own recovery. I love that they short and clearly explained. Many from the different support groups that I am in have talked about your videos too! Thank you so much for making a difference in my life! I have never been told my shoulder pain could be from stiff muscles, it was always because of spasticity. These stretches will definitely help. Thank you so much!

Hi Dr. I was waiting for this video about neck pain. My unaffected side is the right and it's that side of my neck that is always painfull. Especially when I watch TV. And when I try to use my affected side. Thank you for adressing this issue.

My father had a stroke over a month ago and his head is going forward and seems like he has a hump … but after seeing your video I believe his front neck muscles are tight… can he do these exercises if he still has his trach on?

Hi dr. I stumbled upon your channel while doing research, in hopes of finding help for myself. I am 7 years post tbi which caused me to have a medical stroke to stop the hemorrhage in my brain caused by the car accident. Ive been researching about neural plasticity and im starting with your videos for hand and arm recovery i have left side paralysis. Im sorry for the long post. If you have any recommendations feel free to respond if you want to. I just want a better life.
