So glad to hear
Actually I read about it first The Scientific 7-Minute Workout - The New York Times, and then thought thatās neat, Iāll try it every day. 2nd day I forgot 
, but at the moment I really am doing it every day. I looked for examples on youtube, and found this nice and short and the music on it motivating, but you can get the same vid without music on youtube too, or just turn it down of course.
Yep, neck here too 
- osteochondrosis a doc saw on my scans (MRI, scintigram and x-rays).
I joined a neck/back exercise group 6x (pic #11+12 here humiliating not being able to keep up with 70/80-year-olds, so I started doing a short workout before to boost my ego), found some neck exercises on my yoga DVD and my acupressurist showed me neck exercises too the other week. Theyāre all similar, stretching your neck in all ways possible: up down, left right, up left down right diagonally, ear to shoulder. I now do them quickly when necessary, e.g. after lying down a long time, on my bike trying to turn my head and even started doing them at night, which works too.
Yup - I humour the docs once in a while, telling them what Iām already doing, occasionally they do me a small service 
by having a new ideaā¦ 
- which mainly backfires, the last was melatonin for instance which made me drowsy-sick for one month. But mainly theyāre just there to make sure that nothing dangerous is going on. The person who has the most ideas for anything and everything is my acupressurist, and gives me āhomeworkā all round, whether itās palpating my belly (which has improved my bladder pain), rubbing my hands with olive oil and sugar (which I donāt like doing much yet), imagining to cut off any thoughts & pains with scissors or a chainsaw (which does help a bit at night) or going out in the sun for half an hour a day (which I do anyway). Usually about 3 new ideas a week. Other ideas and checks on them are from people on the web. What has helped me 5x more than the docs are suggestions of friendsā¦ (cryotherapy, cold showering, breath-holding and yogaā¦)
