The Complete Neck And Shoulder Pain Relief Series
Jul 11, 2021
Most of us experience neck, shoulder, and upper back pain to varying degrees, so I've made a video series to meet you wherever you are on the spectrum.
Part 3 of 3 offers even deeper front body stretches and stronger exercises for the back so that you can easily stand in correct alignment and FINALLY be free of your pain in the neck. Hallelujah!
But this is a strong one! There’s no reward, only potential pain, if you jump ahead too fast. So be honest with yourself as you explore Part 3. You can always start at Parts 1 and 2 until you are truly ready for this more advanced sequence.
Watch my video Good Pain vs Bad Pain so you know you’re working safely.
Stretching in the wrong places and ignoring certain pain signals can lead to permanent damage, especially in the shoulder area. This video gives you the knowledge you need to progress confidently and safely through this series.
Part 1 of this series can be found here:
I show you how to find your tight spots. Then we release them through self-massage and a series of stretches that require nothing more than a wall, a kitchen sink (or park bench, etc), and a blanket or two. Do these regularly and you’ll be ready to progress to Part 2.
In Part 2 we focus on deeper stretches so we can move the bones into proper alignment. If you start to strengthen around misaligned bones you may well create a whole new set of problems, mostly in the form of joint pain. So spending time to get the bones in their proper places is an absolutely critical part of this process.
You will need a yoga bolster/pile of firm blankets and a yoga strap/leash/long scarf. Links for props are at the end of this post.
Now, to state the super obvious – if you don’t stop the bad habits that create the problem, this process will be long, frustrating, and possibly futile. For tips on identifying and fixing your posture problems, please watch my Easy Fixes for Bad Posture video.
