I’ve spent years thinking I have shoulder impingement, thankfully I found your video, thank you so much!

[BokuMoney]

Been having a lot of upper back pain, to the point where it started to radiate to my chest! This really helped. Hoping to do this daily to see if this could finally be the answer to my daily struggles! Thank you

[shaydlens]

Thank you! For anyone who has costochondritis, these really help!

[Beliefacy]

This sh!t just cured my costochondritis after a full year+ of pain. I forgot what this felt like 😭

I own a gymnastics & cheer gym. I have several athletes that have tight shoulders and thoracic spine. They have tons of pain when trying to do a bridge up. This hinders them lifting their hips during power tumbling as well and many other skills. Do you have something specific for them?

Thanks for adding exercises in description box! Would appreciate tips on when to perform these ie warm up, cool down or any time in the day? Rough length of time to be effective ? Ie reps.

short and to the point (at the near end of this video) I like it for the days I need to use it at the gym.

E3 Rehab, great video. Concise, informative and spot on. I have many spinal issues including T9-T10 disc herniation and C3-T2 disc bulges and degenerated discs (more DDD in the Lumbar spine too). I have such difficulty raising my arms with some Radiculopathy in both arms (the left is worse). My spine is soooo stiff bc of the Facet Joint arthritis and the DDD. I will try these THX for this. BTW, Surgeons that I have visited for my ills (Stenosis as well), all told me that There is absolutley No Surgery on the Thoracic spine...could cripple you. Most people do not realize that the nerves that come through your Thoracic spine affect many Organs : Heart, Lungs, Stomach, Diaphragm - hence your breathing (it does me).

When i twist or move my back feels intense pain and is super sensitive. Almost to the point that i think its a nerve and not muscular. When on a roller sometimes it feels stuck with a stabbing pain. Rolling in bed hurts. Certain core exercises hurt too. Miserable

[freddyco]

Thank you for this video 🙂
Much appreciated

[christophergabriel]

How long should each move be held for? I’m going to do each twice per day

[mutleyb]

Brilliant, spot on exercises. Thanks.

[Seomethod]

Thank you. Can these exercises help me? The doctor said that there is muscle tension and roughness of the vertebrae. I always feel pain in the neck that goes down to the shoulders. When I do a massage, it goes away for a little, but then it comes back, and so I always have pain.

Hello Dr. Tony. I recently found out that I have disc bulges in C6 and C7. The pain has pretty much subsided as it was super strong back in December but my doctor wouldn’t give me an MRI until recently so I think I’m on the mend but in the meantime I’m looking for ways to strengthen my upper back without hurting myself seeing as how I have the disc bulges. Are these exercises safe

Can a total hip replacement cause thoracic tightness?
