Thanks. That's interesting, but I can't really apply it to myself since it's about the techniques the therapist uses on the client.

I checked the facebook page though and found this one on upper cervical mobility which you can do at home:

Joint mobility. That's what I've been doing for the last several years. It's good stuff, especially when you work on the entire body.

When I do those head circles at the end, there's a crepitus party up in my neck!

Can you guys do the lateral neck glides he was demonstrating? I've been trying to do those for more than a year now, and it just won't happen for me. Either my head turns, or it tilts. I've been doing a lot of self-massage on my neck lately to see if that helps. It could be that some of my neck muscles are just too tight to fire properly.

I can do them just a little. Not as much as he can. And my shoulder tends to rise up indicating that the muscles aren't really lengthening.

I'm also looking into neck self-massage btw. Trying to get Julie Donnelly's book because I like some of the things she said on her discussion forums, but I ran into technical difficulties with her e-book. Here is an interview with her:
