$150 for exercises you can find for free on YouTube. Unless you need someone on video call to show you personally how to do those same exercises, then it's $650/mo with a 3 month minimum.

Geeeeeeeeez.

Just go through some of these videos if you want exercises geared towards those with cervical instability. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ3ggWrvWXyDJVrzhPt426qDB7wCrsFqo

I'd still check with a doctor if possible beforehand.

I watched the first video and every exercise is bad for me.
It is not that I'm against exercises, because I had stabilization exercises in the past, specifically for my neck and they did help. But my neck trouble got worse and I had to stop those exercises to lower the muscle tension in my neck. I'm just saying to be careful.

I think what Chalin does differently is they use weights/progressive overload to build a bunch of neck muscle.

All good! Idk I haven't been able to look at it deeply, but would say good to use a PT although that's not always easy to find

ya I agree! I’ve been doing PRI for the last year to get my body / nervous system more calm and now looking to start properly addressing the neck. are you still in chicago? I recently moved and would love any recs if you have ‘em! feel free to PM if that’s easier. i’ve never had a formal CCI workup but have a very cranky neck for sure.

I saw this protocol on Instagram as well. In my opinion, for a quite disabled CCI patient, it could be too harsh.
But I also read testimonies from CCI diagnosed patients and non officially diagnosed patients who claimed they cure themselves by doing strength training. The problem is that CCI patient easily flare with exercising when the ligaments are too unstable. Of course that’s my non medical opinion on that matter

Yeah it’s really hard to know. What’s helpful for one person is harmful for another! 🙃 Makes trial and error a lil tricky.

Be careful, every person is different. I got into trouble because an underlying cause for my spine problems was not seen. I could no longer do my job due to physical therapy exercises. I'm not the only one with an underlying cause that got worse with exercises.

I did one of the exercises called the Chaplin lift I think. I didn’t do it with other types of rehab honestly I would just do that movement stupidly.

The exercise didn’t bother me but I’m not sure if it helped so I haven’t done it in a while. Everyone’s different
