I could not use my arms much due to pain so it was not that hard. Don't think it had any direct effect on pain, but over time I was able to use my arms more. In my case the upper traps were doing all the work which lead to neck spasms. A year ago I was not able to raise an arm above shoulder level without triggering bad pain. This is not a problem anymore. I still have neck pains, but no disabling pain which I had last year. |

Well, I just remembered after i checked my notes. I managed to find a broom handle and force my first rib down - it felt somewhat good, but no significant improvement, worth another try sometime i guess. Looks like I best get off my lazy butt and start doing the Edgelow stuff.
Its mindset, i am finding it very hard to consistently do the BP cuff thing & breathing. Perhaps I need to trick my mind calling it an exercise. That does the trick sometimes. |

Hiker, how many reps of the push ups and prone cobras do you do/day?
Also the neck exercises with the cuff and the neck rolls? |

I do them for 1-2 minutes each along with other exercises. 3-5 times a day. I usually combine neck rolls with the foamroll stretch. 5 minutes at the end of the exercise routine. I no longer do the cuff exercise as it doesn't seem to do much for me. Per Edgelow it is 30 reps with 5-10 second hold 2 times per day. |

Brilliant.. i just figured out i have palsy/very weak serratus on one side.. and lower traps on the other side.. all thanks to a whiplash injury.
Now I have to figure out how to rehab both muscles. Any ideas welcome. |
