    Thank you for posting this. I have torticollis from dystonia in my neck that got worse from accident in 2002. I was hit head on by drunk driver also got whip lash. It helps to stretch the neck. I also have a plastic band I use to help strengthen my arms. I get tremors in my hands. Would water aerobics or doing more tai chi help?

    Hi Dr. Mandell,
    I have a problem with being light headed…every day. There’s not a day I’m not. We can rule out BP, HR, meds, supplements.
    If I get a neck massage, I feel great and gone. But returns. When I work out, I feel great during and after, but it returns.
    I have a problem with having a stiff neck, with no pain, just stiffness in the morning. Once I start moving, it’s better.
    I look forward to your response.
    Thank you,
    Vic

    I woke up with this pain and couldn’t move my neck to the left at all, I did the stretches and it worked! There is still pain but I have a wider range of motion! Thanks Doc ?

    This works for me. I was thinking it’s levator scapula issue initially.

    Does it hurt if I stretch

  • Steven D

    Thank you. I was about to lose my mind — 14 days of waking up not being able to lift my head out of bed (actually had to use my hand to lift my head). I was instinctively doing stretches — but they didn’t help till i saw your video about the 7 to 10 second resist… Saw an instant reduction of the spasm… Thank you again.

    hello doctor, I started working in an industry where I have to operate CNC machines. All day I have one posture of my body and my neck, so 2-3 people have told me about a little tilt on the one side of my neck, plus as you said, the muscle from the right side of the back of the neck hurts if I move it too fast and also spasms. Would this help in that?

    Awoke with torticollis (learn the name today from looking at this video) and this was the third video I looked at. I already did my first 3 sets, but had to pause to like and comment, because this has been the most helpful of the 3 that I have tried. Thank you for posting this.
