YOU FIX YOU!
By using very distinct kinds of exercises that I call…
NEURO-CORRECTIVE TRAINING , these methodologies are based on have been proven in the medical research over many years.
They’re reliable and valid like many studies that we do.
| This is an “Active” approach, and it’s different than what you may have tried and failed at. |
| Not your fault that you may have failed using those early… “Passive” approaches like injections, pills, shots, acupuncture, or even considering having surgery. |
All those are “Passive” approaches which NEVER really solve the root cause of your problem because they don’t activate the muscles that are compressing or putting pressure on your nerves that are traveling from your neck into your arm, may actually be where you may be feeling your pain.

Since you are reading this blog… you are taking the first steps to getting better… the initiation for good health and freedom from pain.
You can recover from chronic neck pain!
If you follow along all the way to the end of this blog…
SO… what of these 5 simple tricks?
Well before I officially get into those for you, let’s return to that familiar story of that man who was battling chronic neck pain for nearly 8 months…
Millions are suffering in pain and don’t know where to turn for help!
And that no doctor sat you down and explained WHY you’re having the pain that you’re having. Because when you know WHY you have these symptoms, you know how to fix it yourself!
Does that make sense?
Good!
Because I know you’re committed to wanting to help yourself, because you’re reading this blog right now,
And you understand that there’s nothing better than YOU being the best DOCTOR for YOU…
And YOU can help YOU with a little bit of effort,
Rolling up your sleeves…And getting in there and helping yourself…
Because you can empower yourself to heal yourself and recover. Not just manage your pain, like doctors will with pills and shots…
But actually RECOVER and ELIMINATE YOUR PAIN! Isn’t that what you REALLY want?
Great! Let’s get started…
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!
I need you to understand that if the pain is reproducible… It’s reducible.
You know what that means?
If it’s reproducible with certain positions for example…
If you’re complaining about pain when you’re sitting for a long period of time and you feel the drawing pain shooting down your arm, your shoulder blade, or even past your elbow and into your fingertips…
And the Doctor told you that it has to be a Disc…
And you need to have a Disc Surgery…
Or you need to have an epidural injection,
or trigger point,
and Opioids…
And you’re concerned…
I want to let you know that if you’re feeling relief with any position…
Whether it be laying down…
That’s a great sign!
Because that means it’s reducible.
You can reduce this yourself by using mechanical exercises or self-adjustments.
You can fix yourself with these movements, then you move yourself in certain positions to unlock or decompress the nerves that are pressing on the joints, muscles, and tissues that are causing the pain to shoot down your arm, or into your middle back, or into your neck in a very precise manner.
These are once again called Neuro Corrective Training Exercises.
And you’re going to learn about different methodologies…
Like the McKenzie method…
Which was created by Robin McKenzie…
Who is an expert at helping people help themselves using very distinct exercises to help them unlock their pain.
Other exercise systems that we are going to be using are called muscle energy and PNF…
Which were created by other specialists in the world of active physiotherapy…
And they help you realign your posture and improve your mechanics in your joints muscles and nerves…
So that your brain can help rewire and reset your pain levels…
Because pain really starts where the brain is…
At those electrical signals traveling down into your spinal cord and into your muscles and joints… Yes, that’s where pain is.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE TRULY WILL BEGIN.

NECK PAIN DURING EXERCISE… YOUR MOST COMMON COMPLAINT ANSWERED
I have a question from Joe and its exactly going to help you answer your question about your neck pain… so keep reading!
Joe called me up the other day and asked me something about his pull-ups.
He was having pain in his neck when he was doing his Pull-Ups.
WHY WOULD PULL-UPS CAUSE NECK PAIN?
So Joe is doing these really interesting pull-ups… instead of doing regular pull-ups which basically is straight up…
He was doing REVERSE STYLE pulling his neck over the bar like this:
So what happens when you do those kinds of pull-ups?
Well Joe started to feel a ton of pain in the back of his neck because he he was preparing himself for one of those mud races…So I explained something super important to him…The main reason he was having pain in his neck was that he was under- utilizing his muscles, here…
Called the LOWER TRAPS… this is SO IMPORTANT so read that last sentence again…
NOW he was over using his upper traps, these muscles over here I am pointing to in green below this sentence are called the upper traps…
These muscles are like a triangle muscle that holds your neck up…
WHY ARE THE LOWER TRAP MUSCLES SO IMPORTANT?
The reason he was over utilizing those UPPER TRAP muscles is because his middle back muscles, these muscles called the Latissimus muscles, and Middle Traps or Middle Trapezius muscles…
Weren’t doing their job to hold his body in a good position…
And he was squeezing his neck muscles when he was going up for that pull up AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE PROBABLY DOING TOO during a bench press or any type of upper body exercise…
OK OK … NOW I PROMISED THE SUREFIRE QUICK FIX FOR YOUR NECK PAIN…

HOW DO YOU GET BAD POSTURE?
Our necks are always down.Even students that go to school sit for many hours of the day…
Or what about if you work in an office on your computer?
HOW BAD POSTURE AFFECTS YOU?
Do you feel like you just can’t find a comfortable position to sit, and you only feel better when you’re kind of slouching in your chair… Or you’re sitting on the couch…
Hey I’ve also been in the same situation, comfortable in a very slouched position…Honestly that is really the bad thing to do, and I’m going to show you what to do to fix it… it’s so easy!
First let’s talk about what causes bad posture.
Bad posture is not just caused by the way you sit or stand… it’s also caused by your nervous system.
What does that mean?
Basically your brain is like a computer…
And when it gets comfortable in a position… it makes those nerves and muscles get really really tight!
So what happens is your neck muscles become really lengthened…
And your back muscles become really lengthened…
And they lose their power.
HERE ARE EASY NECK PAIN RELIEF EXERCISES FOR BAD POSTURE!
So I’m going to show you two simple exercises you can do, to undo that system, the brain, and actually reboot that computer.
Reboot that brain and get those nerves to kick in the right muscles so that your posture is automatic, all day, whenever you’re sitting, whenever you’re standing, you won’t have to think about it so often.
Are you ready for this?
Okay… so if you’re sitting down let’s stand up… That’s the first thing you want to do to improve your posture.
But you also have to improve the way you stand…
So the first thing I tell everybody to imagine… and this came from the “Alexander Technique”
Basically is… Imagine there are two strings… I’m going to turn this way to show you…
Imagine there’s two strings, imaginary strings, one on your head and one on your chest.
And now if I’m going to be standing with bad posture… I’m going to exaggerate my posture…
This string needs to be pulled.
So I’m going to imagine this string being pulled up.
When I pull on this imaginary string that’s on my chest look what happens…
My shoulders go back…
My chest comes up…
The neck area automatically follows my mid thoracic area, or my middle back.
Then to fix this string over here…
I need to pull my neck up and my head up… like a puppet.
So when I pull them both strings…
Automatically my shoulders go back…
These muscles connect over here…
My neck becomes tighter… this gets stretched out….
And I have good posture!
That is a simple easy solution.
So remember two strings!
HERE IS ANOTHER GREAT POSTURE EXERCISE FOR YOU…
Get up out of your chair.. Practice that two strings… I’m going to do that for you… pull the first string…
Pull the second string…
And then pull your shoulders down and back…
Push your shoulders down like you’re pushing the floor with your hands… and squeeze your shoulder blades back!
So push down and back…
That opens up your chest….
Brings your shoulders back… and is one of the best exercises that relieve your neck pain…
Your middle back pain… and you’ll feel so much better!
If you get that one all-important piece right…
Then you’ve done 50% of the work…
HALF THE BATTLE is completed… but we still need to get through the other half the battle…
SIMPLE TRICK #4: Breathing…Your #1 INSTANT Neck Pain Reliever!
A Locked NECK is defined as a MECHANICAL PAIN…
Ever hear of BELLY BREATHING?
ITS CALLED THE DIAPHRAGM aka the “GRAND CENTRAL STATION” – of muscles: 
Step 1) Slight bend forward keeping a straight back.
Most people do not breathe using their diaphragm, and this is what causes neck spasms to get worse and worse.
Most of us “Pant like a dog” when we breathe.
When we breathe like this we just overuse our neck muscles over and over and make those muscle tense up. This is a never ending cycle of pain and stiffness. By using the simple breathing exercise above… and an Ice Pack around the tight neck muscles…
We are able to break the cycle of spasm and pain. Our neck pain is INSTANTLY RELIEVED AS THE NERVES ARE RELAXEDOccasionally there are circumstances when it comes to your neck pain that require a bit more attention… Not everything is full proof.
When my last four tricks to better health don’t give the 100% relief you had hoped for, you may need to seek out professional advice after all. But before you turn to the usual doctors, medications, injections, or possibly unwarranted surgery… Let’s try one last trick to cure your chronic neck pain once and for all!
