You literally saved my life. I woke up two weeks ago with a stiff neck, dizziness, nausea, and a dull headache that eventually progressed into a full-blown migraine, including muscle spams throughout my entire body. It was so sudden and unexpected. I'm young and healthy. I eat well and work out regularly. So you can imagine I was freaking out. I went to multiple clinics but no doctor could find exactly what was wrong with me. The symptoms persisted for two week straight. Headaches and dizziness every single day. Life has been absolute hell. I noticed, however, that my neck was especially stiff today. I decided to massage it but it didn't do anything. Out of sheer desperation, I then decided to give your neck exercises a try and... I simply cannot believe it... I INSTANTLY feel better. This is the first bit of relief I've gotten in over two weeks. It's been a few hours now and my migraine is almost gone. Dizziness is almost imperceptible. I simply cannot believe it. Thank you so much.

Severe neck tension was relieved from just going through them with you. Have suffered for quite a while with this. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Will do them every day from now on.

I am 70. I got whip lash when I was in my 20’s, car accident. 10 chiropractors, several doctors and physical therapy twice. I use ice a lot for relief & sometimes heat. I do their exercises all the time. I
have had steroid shots 2 times and of course rest. Lots of money out the window.


I just learned more from you in 30 minutes than any of the others I have been paying & paying.
You make sense, you explain what & why. Your easy to understand & nice to listen to.

RIght after we retired we were setting around all day & evening, everyday . I thought no big deal. Well, it turned into a huge deal. I was lucky to get thru those falls with breaking any bones, but I do have a shoulder injury from my very first fall.

My experiences with falling always embarrassed me so bad. It took a while for me to realize that I had lost my sense of balance. I started a class on balance issues but they were shut down due to COVID.

Now 3 years later I have finally found some GOOD help. Thank you for all that you are doing for our older generation!

How does this have 26k likes with a million views. This effectively took out weeks of headache tension and made it disappear instantly. Thank you!

[stephanniemiller]

WOW, just WOW! YEARS of neck pain, chiropractic care, yoga & massages when all I needed was your great advice. Can't thank you enough, these exercises gave immediate relief! ☺️

[AspenWinn]

i just want to say thank you ! its almost midnight here and i could barely move considered going to the ER the pain was so bad i have neck and under shoulder pain tension . i used all techniques and now the pain is bearable . i will practice a couple times a week now to help prevent this from happening again.

[polyglotuk]

Fantastically explained and extremely effective, particularly the resistance exercise for one-sided neck tension. I had tried the lacrosse ball previously without success. Thank you.

[constancewalsh]

The concept of under-used neck muscles causing tension pain is genius! With the first try my entire body knows this is what it wanted. Thank you!!

[samkenyon]

Ive had occipital neuralgia (plus side neck pain) for over 2 years - today was the first time I’ve felt my neck muscles relax! Thanks so much for these clearly explained exercises

[StefanRindom]

I've been struggeling for months, and the exercices you provided gave me an instant relief.

In 10 minutes i had less pain and dont feel as dizzy as before i did them.

Thanks.

[ummmTony]

I regularly lay on the couch with my neck propped leaning on my elbow, often falling asleep like that. This act of repeated stupidity, regularly leaves me with a sore neck for days. This is the first time I have been able to do anything that actively reduced the pain, thanks mate!

[Carecovet]

Thank you so much for this. I have been suffering for years with neck and back pain. This has helped in one sitting more than all the massages and chiropractor visits ever have. Thank you again!

[chriss.]

Oh my god. Dude, thank you! I am dealing with neck issues for years and tried so many things. Mostly I tried to stretch or massage these muscles. But it never came to my mind that pushing against my hand and use them would do the trick. I just always did the opposite. I thought these muscles were overly stressed from looking down and hunchback posture all day in front of computer/phone. It never came to my mind that they are actually weak from not being used. Your videos are so helpful and showing things that is opposite and totally different from what others teach. But it helps.

[richardclarkson]

Thanks! I can't believe how quickly that resistance process helped my neck pain. So grateful

[Atlantis]

EXCELLENT! I did all these exercises and it took the strain right out of my neck and shoulders. Thank YOU!

[LittleRedSlipper]

Thanks! The resistance to the sides I knew when I was still in high school, but the resistance on the back and chin are quite nice. Thank you.
