Default Lateral Neck Glides

My neck is one of my biggest problem areas. After more than 30 years with TOS, it's very tight and stiff. When I stretch my neck, I have to be very careful. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, I try not to go above a 2 when I'm working on my neck, and I never do more than two or three reps of any exercise. Some of my worst flare ups have been from overstretching my neck.

One of the exercises on Intu-flow is lateral neck glides. There's also a front to back neck glide, and I can do that one fairly easy. The lateral glides I still can't do, though. No matter how hard I try, my head just turns when I try to do them. He says it's a hard movement for most people to learn. After all these years with TOS, my thoracic area is so gunked up, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to do that exercise. Has anyone else tried to do those?
