Thank you thank you. I was seen in the ER today and a wonderful physician diagnosed TOS. I have had every symptom for almost twenty years with no mention of TOS. When I asked one specialist regarding the huge and painful muscle in my arm pit she laughed and said it’s probably fat. A neurologist that saw me in the hospital told me it was just tension from my three children. I never mentioned my children. Just the areas of pain. His diagnosis was stress and told me I just need a Valium. Finally, after all these years I have a diagnosis and plan. Thank you. These exercises truly helped as I wait a neurologist work up.

OH MY GOD, I've tried all nerve flossing exercises out there which would basically just increase my symptoms (which occur as cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands). My hand and shoulder have been aching all the time, nothing would help me. And I did these exercises two days in a row and the pain is magically reduced to the level that I don't care anymore! I can't believe, it's been killing me mentally. I'm so thankful for the video. My saviour! It's amazing how you can get a real pain in the wrist which comes from your neck...

Many rounds of doctors, tests, all want to mention and treat for TOS but never outright diagnose, regardless of the evidence. I tried this video while waiting for yet another 6-week round of physical therapy to start after a recent re-injury of the area. I know I'll be sore tomorrow but this release of pain will be worth it and I'll massage it out again with your amazing video.

My rib has been stuck out of place for years (from sleeping on an air mattress) and it has gotten comfortable there due to bad posture and stress. I am always in pain and the rib won't budge unless I go to the chiropractor. It is maddening though, to go and pay money just to have it out of place the next day. What I really need is a masseuse/ physical therapist who understands my problem.

Thank you, it helped. I can't get in to see my chiropractor 'til tomorrow, to put back my first rib, but these stretches helped me tolerate the pain.

THANK YOU! I love self myofascial release. I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands that hasn't responded to PT directed at it. Also cervical spine stenosis and radiculopathy. These helped SO MUCH!

Rachel, I feel much relief after following you throw 2 times, will keep it up several days and hope it cures my symptoms. Found you searching for shoulder roll videos. Will watch more of your videos. Liked and subsciibed. I also watch Bob and Brad.
