I’m a physician and I have gone to my share of physical therapists. You are now my go to for everything. Sprained ankle, Achilles tendinitis, hand pain and now back pain, so thank you. Jean
I'm 26 years old and I threw out my back yesterday. Was sitting on my steps, bent forward and bleaching some clothes in a bucket. The bucket was two steps below the one I was seated on (I know, stupid). Straightened up and boom, I almost passed out from the pain. I've been watching all your videos related to back spasms and lower back pain since yesterday, and today I'm almost good as new! Started with immediately laying down on an ice pack and elevating my legs, and took some ibuprofen. Then I just lay like that for several hours, because it was too painful to even roll over to try and get up. Eventually I was able to roll over and try different ways of laying, like on my side with a pillow between my legs. Then slowly started incorporating these stretches. I feel 100000000x better today than I did yesterday, when I was literally unable to move from the ground because of the pain. Started this morning off with these lower back pain stretches and an ice pack, and I'm so grateful to you both!!
I was in a car accident maybe 28 years ago snd developed arthritis in my back probably 10 or 15 years ago. I’ve been doing these exercises every day for at least 10 years and they really help. The arthritis will never go away but these and other exercises you have had in videos make a difference. Your videos are like having my very own PT that I can reference anytime. Thanks guys!
I just turned 30 and O.L.D hit me hard a couple weeks ago. Everyone sent me this link. I’ve been doing this stretches ever since. I wouldn’t wish the back pain I had on my worst enemy. This video has been amazing. Thank you.
I am in awe of you guys. I was almost immobile with terrible lower back pain. These exercises worked miraculously on me. Can’t thank you guys enough for the good work you both at doing. 🙏🏻
I am so blessed to have your exercises. I was tossed to the ground by my horse and fell on my right hip. I felt the SI joint bend forward and then snap back into place. I got up, somehow, and followed the horse (he was running back to the barn). After I got him settled, I returned home and went to a choir rehearsal. I felt just a twinge of deep pain. Well, that was in 1964 and now, at 75, I'm almost never without pain. Over the years, it worsened and I got really good at ignoring it - but no longer. Your videos have impressed me deeply, so much so that I got a folding massage table just like your blue one and set it up. Thank you for these exercises! I'm making them a daily routine to loosen up this hip. My pain radiates to the lower back, but has left my sciatic nerve alone, thankfully. The horse, by the way, was sold not too long after and has probably gone to Horse Heaven, if there is such a place, by now. Thank you for your channel!!
Thank you Bob and Brad you both saved my back. I was diagnosed with cysticercosis at right spine and slip disc trust me I have gone through hell sleeping with that pain all day, these exercises helped me a lot, I did this continuously for two weeks & i got results. From my bottom of my heart to Bob and Brad Thank you so much.
I love Bob and Brad. I am 87 and have a tendency for multiple pains, particularly in the lower back. Paracetamol helps, but Bob and Brad exercises are very good.
For the first time in my life I threw my lower back out today. It hurt so much I almost vomited. Sat in my car for over an hour. Home now and will try all of this. Thank you! I’ll never scoff at anyone else’s back pain stories ever again. EVER.
I tell all of my yoga clients about you guys. Many people come to yoga to relieve back pain and Depending on what their spinal issue is, yoga may actually make it worse, so I always Give them advice on things not to do to aggravate their condition and then have them watch your channel! Thank you for all of your information!
You guys are great! Any time my husband and I have any need for some adjustments in our bodies we go to your UA-cam channel! I am here because I so foolishly walked my daughters huskies in the woods no pinch collars on them and they pulled me so out of wack I am on day 7 of slowly getting better! What I picked up most from this particular video is doing these exercises every hour because that is about how long I last on my feet working in the kitchen so off I go back to the exercises now and give it a rest and head back to the kitchen. I am obsessed with making our food from scratch. Thanks again! Keep up the good work!
Hi bob and Brad my name is Tyler Lelie Christian and I just wanted to say thank you for all of the heathly tips it really help I was at 360 pounds unattractive and ugly and overweight but now I'm at 157.9 all thanks to you to thank you for everything and if their are more tips you know I will be grateful to learn from you too
Hey guys I watched one of your. Ideas on shoulder pain where you advocate hanging! What a miracle this has been for me. I have had severe shoulder pain for the last 2 or three years. No physical therapy really helped. Two months of daily hanging and I can’t believe how much better I feel. If the next two months yield similar results I will be back to normal should range of motion and pain free. Thank you!!
Salutations to you both, Bob n Brad!🎉❤ Hope you both are doing well!🎉❤ Thx. for this helpful and awsome video on how to help relieve back pain!🎉❤ The tips n pointers have helped out a lot!🎉❤ Stay Blessed n have a Blessed day!🎉❤
You have changed my life after years of PT and water therapy I got better results in 10 min from you. I'm on my 5th video and feel my life has less pain more control. Thank you! Blessings for the New Year!
Dropping my legs side to side was incredible today!...I think...I just really focused on relaxing and really edging around the tight and painful spots in my lower back. I started with the less painful side as recommended. As I got a few minutes into the painful side a sudden pop and grinding occurred. Felt amazing. Almost as if I freed up scar tissue or something. Can you guys comment on the action that occurred in my back? It felt good so I'm not concerned. I literally feel euphoric from it right now. And also a feeling of great blood flow to my legs. 3 year sufferer of si joint pain.
Do you guys have any suggestions for asymmetrical lower back pain?! I am right side dominant and find I usually feel tight on my left - lots of cracking and popping too :/ How should I balance out my strength and flexibility? Thanks for all your great ideas!! My posture is 100% better thanks to you guys! :)
Thank you guys these are so helpful - I’m 65 but do lots of quite heavy work in the garden - have done for about 8 years following a lifetime of office work. Still have so many aches and pains - your suggestions really help but just wish I was free of them - particularly those from driving or just frikkin sitting, drives me nuts - rant over thanks again and for humour too
Hi guys I from Peru I like so much your videos and how to guide us , it’s a wonderful content for everyone thanks a lot , kisses from Peru , muchos besitos mean a lot of kisses
Hi Guys!! I love your videos. I had an acute back strain on two days ago. When can I start these exercises? I went to urgent care and the nurse practitioner gave me some exercises to do but she did not tell me when to start or to wait a couple of days for the inflammation to go down. Thank you!!!
@@johnnyllooddte3415 I'm the same I can be stubborn at times when it comes to tables such as ibuprofen etc I have lower back pain due to weight lifting with bad form these exercises really help even with my foam roller.
I have layed concrete for my garden house and i have got pain in my back. Went to the doctor to found out i have reduced lordosis, scoliosis, thined discs and facet joint arthritis. That was one big unpleasant surprise.
If someone has a positive prone extension test would you still prescribe the prone extensions for them? Provoking pain probably would occur if you were to test positive.
I was born with an extra lumbar vertebrae according to my x rays, MRI and Dr. I was wondering what the studies say about incidences of herniated discs compared with normal backs? I would surmise that with a longer torso more pressure would be put on the discs regularly and a person with the extra vertebrae would be more prone to herniations?
conundrum conundrum after reading your comment and the extra vertebrae that you have I was wondering what your blood type is from what I have read some of the negative blood types have extra vertebrae . I'm not sure how much truth there is in it.
I'm just the opposite. Back feels better when I sit. Feels worse moving around too much and standing too long. Makes it difficult to get chores done or go walking. Wishing to see a set of exercises for this. Only known issues are DDD and bulging disks at least 15 years or more at 50 yrs old.
I have spinal stenosis, Spondylolisthesis, Degenerative Disc Disease, AND herniated discs. I thought the press up was not recommended for herniated discs? Isn't that the same thing as the McKenzie Method?
I love your videos. I don't have back pain all the time, but I loaded my truck yesterday with hay for my raspberry patch, of course I forgot my back belt... use that for mulch gets desert dry here. Anyway I woke up this morning with really uncomfortable back pain.. I'm wondering should I have stretched before bed? I'm 66 yo female. We have a frequency therapy machine that put impulses in an area of your body that hurts.. my back is starting to relax.. should I stretch before bed?
Dear bob and brad..i am 29 male and having lower back pain from last 3 months.i following medication and same excersize and get relief but my pain is not going.i am worried as i have to work 9hr daily on computer and its affecting my life.tell me what to do.will it last lifelong 😭
Just did the last stretch after hearing Bob say if it hurts bending maybe going the other way will work. So after icing my back on the floor earlier ..it did the stretch. A couple of lovely clunks in my back and I now feel really good. Amazing, these guys are GOLD!
I saw this and the idea of stretching made me think of ehlers danlos syndrome, which I have. I'm also a part time wheelchair user and adaptive athlete. Would you please do an eds video?
I’m 29 and went to a chiropractor who said I have sever arthritis in my upper and lower back. I don’t have pain or discomfort except for under my right shoulder. They tried to get me to commit to 36 adjustments and pay for them up front (about $2500). Does this kind of practice sound right to you guys? I’ve been to several chiropractors in the past for different issues which they all treated successfully after 5-10 visits (max). I was caught off guard by this chiropractors approach though, it seemed more geared towards money. I’d like to hear what you guys think. Thanks.
I've gone to various chiropractors my entire life, with success. Yet I would run, not walk. That's predatory. More common is to treat as needed or offer smaller packages with a discount for the bulk purchase but 36? And all up front?
Chiros are nothing more than scam artists with offices and brass plaques. Same thing with me. The first consultation was 20% talking about my problem and 80% talking about how many sessions I'd need and how I'd like to pay. Didn't go ahead with that. Contacted another Chiro, as soon as she got impression I had a brain and did some of my own research, she never called me back to setup a meeting and never answered her phone to me again. Go to an actual medical professional like a physio.
I fell off the back of a pickup truck onto concrete and hit my tailbone now the piriformis muscle is inflamed and I can hardly walk. I can do most exercises unfortunately it's the standing up and trying to walk that hurts the most feels like someone is stabbing me in each side of my butt in the sciatica nerve. I've been soaking in Epsom salt warm water hard as hot as I can stand it at times. I had to resort to taking hydrocodone and ibuprofen which seems to really help but when it wears off I'm back to square one please help me
Try doing the supine piriformis stretch 3 sets for 30 seconds ,2 times daily.I've being doing this for 11 days along with some leg Flys and now after a month I can finally walk again.Goodluck
+Lucy Lanuchi Whatever medical provider told you that your piriformis muscle is inflamed, you should call them back (if not going back) and ask them if you should be doing a piriformis stretch. If so, Bob & Brad have video on it - ua-cam.com/video/ZEqRoCJ6UAY/v-deo.html - or you can do a search on youtube for others.
pat alfredson I would say yes. I do all of them regularly in my yoga practice. When I don't do yoga for a while, I feel it. I try to do some everyday now.
My lower back pain, is hurting all the time especially if i stand, a litle less if sitting, but best is when i lay down, if i lay down for 10 min then i can sitt or stand for 10 min ca, best time is when i wake upp but after awhile it youst start hurting so to functial normal i need to take pain killer`s youst to do simple day stuff like sitting watch tv or doing work take a walk,etc. the pain is un bare able so am not sure if i can ditch the pain killers yous`t to try stretches ps it does mimic`s spinal stenosis. althoe Great video as allways :)
What are some exercises I can do to prevent back pain what I mean is if I’m not in any pain and I just want to prevent it from Happening can I still do these
What are your thoughts when the pain increases with more movement. The more I walk, or exercise the more I have sciatica, and back pain due to a herniated L5S1. Even with laying on my stomach it seems to hurt more, even with a pillow.
physicaltherapyvideo Thank you for the reply, unfortunately PT hasn't helped either. I'll be seeing a spine specialist today to hopefully get more answers.
Hi Becky, hope you are well! I was wondering if you’ve had any improvement? I’m having the same exact issue from dead lifting 7 months ago. I feel like I’m finally headed in the right direction, as far as healing, but I’m just wondering how long it took for you to heal?
@@katherinea7944 hi, I’m actually doing really great! I almost had surgery but it turned a corner and I didn’t need to. I decided to not do much and let the inflammation go down, as I started feeling better I did more. I highly recommend the book Back mechanic by Stuart McGill. Now I watch my posture and don’t lift super heavy things. It took 6-8mo to really start feeling better.
Thank you for your response and recommendations!❤️ I will definitely look into getting the book. I’m really happy to hear you’re doing better. Herniations are no joke especially when they cause sciatica.
My question concerns an older subject, flat feet. You have shown exercises for fixing pronated feet and also talked about inserts and motion control shoes. Are the exercises and inserts/shoes mutually exclusive? That is, if I am doing the exercises to fix the feet, should I avoid motion control shoes and or inserts?
I only start to have pain when sitting. My right side of my lower back starts to hurt. Like in the kidney area. When I wake up a feel like I got hit by a truck.
Hello there Bob and Brad. I have a question. I am having some sort of a bulge on the right side mid-section of my back. Whenever I sleep or sit I feel uneven; the right side of my back feels more pronounced than the left side when in contact with flat surface. Do you have any idea what I can do to have an even back? This has been very uncomfortable for the past year. Thank you
Where are my back hurts when I do laundry vacuuming strenuous grocery shopping I don't know where is those three things my back hurts and when it rains or we get a really bad thunderstorm and snow storms

Have you been sponcered ?

My sciatica has improved so much since I've been watching you two. Following you on FB as well. Thank you!
Thank you,it really helped.
The stomach stretch is bad for me when back is sore. The rest are great!
You should add the facebook link
Docs, how about neck pain? Any stretches I do make my neck more painful. Disc degeneration at c5-c6.
How often should u do these exercises and how many reps on each side
What kind of shoes do you recommend for someone who stands on their feet all day long at work? Thank you so much for these exercises!!!
you guys are back to back HEROS
What routine do you have for people with Parkinson's Disease. Kitt
Can you please tell me where to get that bed for the physical therapy?
"Believe you can do it and your half way there " I believe I can double backflip 🤸💫
Try and you'll probably land on your head. But that is halfway there.
How many reps do you do?
This is so great
yall are greatttttt.. bless yall
i cant do that first one..how do you get up with out using an arm or shoulder.. stuck on the ground and needing to know
ahaha 10 minutes without pain.. is there such a thing ahahahah i refuse to take hard drugs..ive seen way too many ruined lives

Thank u so much what do u recommend for headaches
Thank you for your viideos and just a quick question . Can these three exercises be done on a bed or on the floor?
While doing the knee to chest step, why the head is kept off the floor ?
Just for the camera or we have to do that way ?

I need to move one of those tables into my living room.
Would any of these be suitable for someone who is born with spinabifida and also had back surgery as a kid.
I was hoping they would say how many repetitions and how many sets, for each stretch.
Can the disk cartilage regenerate ?
Are we gonna do the entire routine or just choose one between the 3 routines?
have done all 3 and they helped me alot
Just did the last stretch after hearing Bob say if it hurts bending maybe going the other way will work. So after icing my back on the floor earlier ..it did the stretch. A couple of lovely clunks in my back and I now feel really good. Amazing, these guys are GOLD!
I had a loose screw in L5 , was told dic5 slip slightly over S1 .. Wondering is this experience good for me? .
I am unable to do first push up... It gives pain in leg.

The first one really hurts?! Is that normal?

If so, Bob & Brad have video on it - ua-cam.com/video/ZEqRoCJ6UAY/v-deo.html - or you can do a search on youtube for others.
Does anyone have low back pain associated with epidural?
Yes often. Do we have any video for this?
Mid to low back pain = cold feet?
Are these helpful as a preventative to back pain?
pat alfredson I would say yes. I do all of them regularly in my yoga practice. When I don't do yoga for a while, I feel it. I try to do some everyday now.
Help!

What are some exercises I can do to prevent back pain what I mean is if I’m not in any pain and I just want to prevent it from Happening can I still do these
Yes, because they help to maintain your range of motion. There are specific exercises for maintaining and developing strength.
Core strengthening excercises
Who is here after their last video? 😂 I’m still confused
What are your thoughts when the pain increases with more movement. The more I walk, or exercise the more I have sciatica, and back pain due to a herniated L5S1. Even with laying on my stomach it seems to hurt more, even with a pillow.
physicaltherapyvideo Thank you for the reply, unfortunately PT hasn't helped either. I'll be seeing a spine specialist today to hopefully get more answers.
Hi Becky, hope you are well! I was wondering if you’ve had any improvement? I’m having the same exact issue from dead lifting 7 months ago. I feel like I’m finally headed in the right direction, as far as healing, but I’m just wondering how long it took for you to heal?
@@katherinea7944 hi, I’m actually doing really great! I almost had surgery but it turned a corner and I didn’t need to. I decided to not do much and let the inflammation go down, as I started feeling better I did more. I highly recommend the book Back mechanic by Stuart McGill. Now I watch my posture and don’t lift super heavy things. It took 6-8mo to really start feeling better.
Thank you for your response and recommendations!❤️ I will definitely look into getting the book. I’m really happy to hear you’re doing better. Herniations are no joke especially when they cause sciatica.
My question concerns an older subject, flat feet. You have shown exercises for fixing pronated feet and also talked about inserts and motion control shoes. Are the exercises and inserts/shoes mutually exclusive? That is, if I am doing the exercises to fix the feet, should I avoid motion control shoes and or inserts?
I only start to have pain when sitting. My right side of my lower back starts to hurt. Like in the kidney area. When I wake up a feel like I got hit by a truck.
Hello there Bob and Brad. I have a question. I am having some sort of a bulge on the right side mid-section of my back. Whenever I sleep or sit I feel uneven; the right side of my back feels more pronounced than the left side when in contact with flat surface. Do you have any idea what I can do to have an even back? This has been very uncomfortable for the past year. Thank you
