David, this is one of my favorite classes of all time. I always come back to it, and helps me a lot with my back problems, I feel renewed. Thank you very much.

I have been suffering from wrist pain due to a compressed nerve in my upperback/neck area for almost a year. I have tried countless sessions of physiotherapy, massage therapy, immobilizing with a cast and more recently I have discovered that blood flow to the area through a series of stretches or back strengthening exercises is the best way to find relief. I am adding this video to the top of my list! Can't wait to do it every morning before work. Than-you for providing me with relief <3!

These stretches feel amazing! I'm a musician so I'm always looking for ways to release tension from my shoulders. I will definitely be coming back to this video.
