I actually tried this! Would love to be massaged by you!

@Jambabuu Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic stuff paul...

I have a VERY long neck and spine, so postural stuff is a nightmare. i have a slight curve in my spine. Should I still be doing these things with that in mind?

[bigredpaul]

Now I should say that without seeing you in person, I cannot be completely certain, but this stretch should be fine to do for you. It's a very general stretch.

Thanks for getting back! your other vid about the hams/gluts/hip flex has really opened me up, too... but even tho I have been doin them every morning, my hams are still very tight, painful and resistant. Is there any suppliments I can take? Or should i just continue to grin and bear it... no pun intended... :)

[bigredpaul]

I'd recommend finding a competent massage therapist. That, and drinking lots of water...

This is a wonderful video! Thank you for all the great info! And you look so huggable, I could just jump into this vid and bear hug you! :-D

[mannyramirez24]

thank you Paul so much for making this video. I don't know if I tore this muscle or it was just SUPER tight but all i know is i could barely move my neck without pain. the next day it felt a little better so i decided to do this stretch but very lightly. i can not believe how much it helps loosen everything up and how much better i feel. thank you again Paul.

when are u going to make another self treatment video??? They are relaxing its due time for a new one!

[cawiseguy]

you're the man! Not to mention you are HOT!!!! Make sure there is a light on your face; it helps to see that you are actually responding facially to your demonstration.

thanks!!
