How to Walk and Run with Stenosis or Spondylolisthesis | Posture Correction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2023
- I had been diagnosed with moderate Stenosis at L4/L5, severe Stenosis at L5/S1, DDD at 3 levels, and multiple bulging discs. I was in the trenches of the medical system. I had learned about the importance of the pubic bone from a martial artist, and decided to go for a long walk. This strategy allowed me (and my diagnoses) to complete a 500 mile trek, helping me begin my ascent out of the back pain cycle, and I'd like to share it with you.
These are my best tips for walking with stenosis and spondylolisthesis, as well as running with these conditions. Walking is one of the best exercises for back pain, but it does matter how you walk. You can even get back to running with stenosis or spondylolisthesis, as long as you follow the right strategy. With this strategy I was even able to get back to running.
In the video you'll learn:
✅ What is stenosis, the anatomy explained
✅ How to walk with Stenosis and Spondylolisthesis
✅ Best posture for walking with stenosis and back pain
✅ Why physical therapy and gym exercises are not effective for lower back pain
✅ How to deal with muscular imbalances

Thanks for watching the video How to Walk and Run with Stenosis or Spondylolisthesis | Posture Correction
Thank you for the wonderful comments! I really appreciate the support and will try to respond to each one of you individually as soon as possible. Let me know if you've tried this strategy and how it goes!
Hi, just found your videos. I love them considering signing up for your program. I have seven herniated discs to in the neck and the rest in the lower back plus degenerative disc, moderate to severe as well as spinal stenosis, lower back my hips, however, do not rotate forword as you described. Instead, they rotate in. My butt moves forward not backward, wondering what your thoughts are on this since it doesn’t fit the profile you described. Thank you so much.
I have already lost a lot of the curve in my lordosis spine area. If I walk with my pelvis forward that is flattening out my back even more! Is that good? It seems to me I need to try to put the curved back in my low back!?
How do you walk by bringing back the pubic bone forward. . Any demo ? Or is this simply your normal way of walking?
❤❤
Am did followed some of the exercises, it's wonderful and effectively.
For doctor info, since found that am was Lumbar Spinal injuries
I took Neurobion for the numbness and Pergabalin Rewisca 50mg for nerve pains.
Any side effect when taking long terms of both tablets.
This works! I have been in pain for 8 yrs and today I found your video and tried this most of the day. What a difference, I can walk and can tell this will keep working, just need to build those muscles!
This is pretty wild - I suffer from stenosis, and recently I have experimented with tightening my abdominal muscles while walking. It is less painful, and my walk is more balanced. If I don’t tighten my abdominal muscles, I tend to lurch over to the left. This video is a confirmation to my little experiment, and I am so glad to watch this. I would suggest either eliminating the background music, or turning it way down, I find it extremely irritating, which is too bad, because the doctor is a really nice guy and has a lot of valuable things to say.
I've been doing the same thing, tightening my abs, and it makes a real difference. It has encouraged me lose some weight and work on exercising to strengthen my core muscles.
😊
I agree w/ the back ground music
@@brett1567able i usually do, im very competing noise sensitive, but i didnt even notice it this time
I am living in the United States, my name is Ling. I found this video accidentally and it saved me😂
Seven years ago, I injured my left hip bone due to rope skipping and developed sciatica. Even walking is difficult, and MRI also shows L4 , L5 spinal stenosis..., I am already disappointed with life. 😰
I was originally a piano teacher, but because my right foot has to step on the pedal, I don’t even dare to play the piano! I started walking the way you did this week, and it was much easier. You made me look a lot younger! In my mind you are qualified to be a Nobel Prize winner, thank you again👍👏🌈
You are the best! Why aren't Dr's helping us understand our bodies the way you do? I'm so happy you're here. My body is out of alignment and I love walking as it soothes the aches. I instinctively started tucking my tailbone in while walking but didn't understand why until I saw your video! Thank you!!! Pleeeease keep this great content coming. I am a big fan!
tucking the tailbone in --saved me from so much imaginations of moving the pelvic, thanks
When I had spondylolithesis over 10 years ago, I owe my healing to pool therapy!! I can’t stress enough how this helped over physical therapy! Sadly, pools are not available in most places! My cause was a damaged vertebrate. However, I owe my healing to the pool therapy! I have had little to no spinal pain. I do use a strong spinal wrap on occasion, as it’s important to protect the area. I keep you all who suffer in my thoughts! And pray that you find the help you need.
Great presentation and gives me hope I can live without pain. Please eliminate the background noise (music) though. It's very distracting - I'm ADD and have trouble concentrating on your talking.
Excellent information Dr. Peebles. Thank you.
Another one in your series of most amazing clips - plus the 500-mile walk across Europe was simply sensational!!! Such a great mix of technical data, rare to find animations of anterior tilt and the reversal correction🌺 Dr Ryan, you're simply the best! Thank you😌✨️😊
I changed my walking after watching this video and the difference is night and day!! After all the doctors, chiropractors and massage therapists I’ve gone to; no one has ever taught me this simple technique! I cannot thank you enough! It’s been life changing! Can you make a video on how to carry things like a laundry basket where you need to lean something into pelvis or do basic normal things like bending over to clean a toilet? That would be amazing!
Thank you for sharing @quantumgirl and I hope this inspires others to try it as well! Absolutely, I will do a video on doing activities that require bending down, as well as one on carrying big or heavy objects very soon!
Will you marry me your amazing I need all this information ❤❤❤
No I want to marry him! @@catherinemurray2211
Thank you for these ideas. I'm gonna try this today!
very informative, thank you!
Can't wait to give this a try! Thanks for sharing.
My first intro to your instruction, and I was able to receive noticeable relief of pain while walking and tightening my abdominal muscles this evening. Even a sense of improved balance. Thank you so much.
Ryan, I am so thankful for finding your program on a Facebook ad. One of my goals is to get back walking and this was very encouraging to me as I am in my 5th-6th week with the courses. I’ve had consistent back issues for 3.5 years and I look forward to my daily emails with the 5 minute video for each exercise and truly believe I am heading in the right direction. My issue sometimes is getting my breathing to properly go along with each exercise. I’m working on that too. Keep up the work you are doing. It’s helping me.
THANK YOU I have only now found your video today and all your
teachings make so much sense I have been struggling to walk
for over 2yrs now and waiting for back surgery but I will most
definitely be trying to do the exercises you recommended and
following your videos.
Thanks so much for this video.
I can't thank you enough for your help. I am so much better than when I started 9 months ago and still improving. You have been a blessing!
Hi Jack,
Thank you so much for being here. Your feedback means so much to me! I love to read about your improvements in the program. I hope you are feeling better than ever!
Very helpful....thanks
I’m so Thankful I found your UA-cam,, I have binge watch so many of your videos,, I totally relate to your back stories, Thank you for your advice, it’s helping me so much
I am so glad that I am able to help. Thank you so much for tuning in and reviewing what I have covered! I hope you are feeling well.
I'm a DPT. Love these videos! Thank you!
Love your podcast, I had surgery 2 years ago, I walk a treadmill in my house. When I walk out side I use ski poles/walking sticks, no hip pain and it helps build care. Have rods and screws lumbar, trying to avoid any other surgery. Have spinal stenosis, I will be 70 next year.
Thank you, I have sport hernia and lower back pain, I was running pain free until I started doing some stretching a few months ago then my pain started, i stopped the stretching, now trying to reverse the damages I did , your videos are very informative and helpful, thank you keep them coming . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi HS, thank you for sharing your situation with us. We're sorry to hear about your struggles with sport hernia and lower back pain. We're so happy to know that our videos are providing helpful information for your journey. Wishing you a smooth recovery, and we'll certainly keep the videos coming! 😊
Thankyoy for a very informative video. I had spinal decompression surgery on L4_5 and L3-4 four months ago and am learning to enjoy walking again. I had noticed after about half a mile it gets easier, now I understand why. I am excited to try this today.
I am so happy for this video because I reached the same conclusion for myself for the stenosis I have. Thank you so much! This video gives hope
Hi Gabrielle, I'm so happy to hear that you found the video helpful and that it has given you renewed hope!
This is gold!! thank you
Thank you so much for your comment! I am glad you enjoyed the video. Have a nice day!
Thank you so much Dr. Ryan for sharing this information as it gives so much encouragement and support. I do a 1.5 to 2 miles walk 4/5 times a week. I will admit it is challenging as I find myself being pushed forward by the severe stenosis. I try to keep connected to my anchors and keeping the pubic bone forward will help to achieve that. I am definitely going to work on this and hopefully it will make walking more pleasant. I love the back anchor challenge and progression as it helps me so much. Keep up the great work.
Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for being here! Walking is excellent for your body and even though it is challenging, it is the best movement for your body with core connection being your focus. Thank you for your feedback on the program, I am so glad you are here!
I have lateral spinal stenosis with the nerve pinched at L5, diagnosed with a MRI. I have been suffering with this for 3 years. I have had many physio sessions, done numerous physio exercises I learned of on UA-cam, have been for 3 treatments at a pain clinic including epidurals. Nothing has worked until I watched your video. I have started using your technique of pubic bone forward and have practicing this for about 2 weeks. What a difference it has made! I wish I had learned this a few years ago. Thank you so much!!
Hi Larry, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're truly grateful to hear that our video has made a difference for you and that you've found relief through our techniques. It's so happy to know that our content has had a positive impact on your journey with lateral spinal stenosis. Your comment means a lot to us, and we're honored to have been able to help!
Thank you Dr Ryan! I recently had Lumbar Laminectomy surgery, so now I'm trying to learn how to walk/run correctly again. Ten years ago I exchanged running for cycling, but I would like to run again. This video gives me hope!
Thank you so much for sharing! We're so happy to that this video gives you hope. Wishing you a smooth journey as you work towards walking and running again! 💙
Thank you very much!
Excellent tip. Thank you. Pubic bone forward. Xx
Thank you so much for this, many of us seniors are unable to pay for physiotherapy and depend on professionals like you for simple but wise advice on how to help our bodies. Gratitude and respect.
Thank you so much!
I can't wait to be able to run again. It's my favorite form of exercise.
Thanks for your video. Although I don’t fully understand it, walking seems better.
Health is priceless. Next week we will go to iPhone to do finance and thank you.
You are a good man
In the weekly live broadcast today he mentioned to walk with pubic bone forward to help stop sciatica which I have with si joint pain and it helped both.
Starting this today! Just found your channel. I don’t know why it popped up but, subscribed and going to do my best to follow your advice.
I have compound problems! I have auto immune psoriatic arthritis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, which started in my lower back and doctor said now is in my neck. I’m allergic to all the “pain killers “. So I’m constantly in pain! When I attempt to tighten my abdominal muscles they do shake after a minute but I am going to keep trying 😅after all Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’m a female 71 year old and I don’t want to end my days in a wheelchair! Walker is bad enough but only way I can get around.
What you’re saying makes good horse-sense to me !! So thank you
Thank you for sharing your situation and for being a part of our community! We're glad you found our channel.
If you're looking for another approach to addressing any concerns related to arthritis, scoliosis, stenosis or lower back pain, please let us know. We offer a free trial of the first week of our program, and many students have reported significant relief within that time frame. We'd be more than happy to help you on your journey to pain relief and recovery!
Thank you for the info it helps a lot I have been suffering fr lumbar stenosis for 2 yrs now PT helps a lot but insurance pays only so much sessions thank you for fb posting this info
I've been watching your videos for a while now and find them very useful. Have you addressed yoga practices (pros and cons) in other videos? I'm 70 with DDD, mild stenosis, and sciatica. I've been fit my entire life thru martial arts and weights. Now I can only do "old man yoga" so I walk and ride my bike a lot. I've been doing yoga for 10 years and had a strong arm-balance practice before my diagnosis. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks brother ❤
Im glad i found you 🎉
Im going to try this as i am also having bulging and herniated disc at L5/S1... all the best!!
Hi u tried
Thank you, best advice from a fellow sufferer
Thank you for the kind words, Malcolm... Means a lot!
Doctor! Thank you for dedicating your life to such a cause.
Am
Very sure this is only with very very minimal stenosis otherwise run will be impossible
Thank you
Sitting actually makes my pain in my hips and legs worse. Walking gives me relief.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Thank you thank you
Very helpful! Glad I found this on UA-cam
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Thanks again Ryan, you’ve been such a big help for me! It’s raining tonight and I’m not able to get my walk, so I’m currently, yes, on the floor! Stretching and feeling better already! *Edit: it stopped raining late and I got my 2 mile walk in before bedtime anyway!! 👊👊
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you!
Question, is a pelvic tilt what you want us to achieve when walking?
Thanks again
Elizabeth
I think the content of what you’re saying is probably great - I’m super distracted by the Muzak playing through it all though! Just a note, thank you for making this.
Hi Jack,
Noted! Thank you so much for checking out the video.
Ty so much ❤
Very informative and effectively explained.
The background music was very distracting and competes with your very important presentation. You are enough.
The music is incredibly distracting, and much too loud
Thank you... Very helpful! I watched you first time yesterday (flexors imbalance), and did my first 15 min. today... Warmed up, took a pill, put that pubic bone forward, pulled-in the abs, found some gait, and off to the grocer's.
Walked back with the bag bumping on my bum. It felt like massage. Tomorrow I'm doing this video. 👍to me, 😘to you, I'm 65 😁
Thank you so much for your very encouraging words !!
Also walked The Camino 100 kilometers for the beautiful certificate from Portugal to Spain. I used a fanny pack for back support. Luggage Mule Service NO BACKPACK. Thank you.Now I swim but will start walking again and floor exercises.Please do segment onCamino. Im planning trip to Peru.
I wish you would have demonstrated with your own body. How to walk with pelvic tilt. And how to do pelvic tilt while standing
l got this from the previous comments ie tucking the tailbone , hope it helps
Hi
Thanks for the video . Could you clarify .. HOW YOU BRING IT FORWARD IN ACTUALITY…
You mean the stomach muscles need to be tightened forward?… as a natural process while walking ?
Appreciate your clarification
Thanks
Dharam
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity and support, Dan! 🙏
did you sing the song 500 miles while you were walking?😀. Great effort
Helpful advice. Does this include when sitting? I thought posterior pelvic tilt when sitting was the whole problem but by this analysis it ought to be therapeutic?
Edit: I've been trying this a few days and it seems to be working. I guess I had the whole thing reversed.
It motivates me to know that you have suffered with this yourself 😊
Thanks
Thank you so much for your generosity and support, David! 🙏
When you say tension in the abdominals do you mean like flexing the core or pushing out?
Hi Ryan great video, just came across the channel after reading up on spondylolisthesis and reading I may never be able to do sport again which I believe you just proved wrong. However, my question is will I ever be able to do martial arts such as boxing, muay thai, and wrestling with my spondylolisthesis or will I have to get it operated on and maybe put an artificial disk on it?
Hi there, thank you for reaching out to us! There's a good chance that you can return to high-intensity activities like boxing, muay thai, and wrestling without needing surgery if you stick with the program and learn how to move in a healthier, core-centered way. Dr. Ryan's motto is that it's not what you do; it's how you do it. Once you reconnect with your core, anything is possible, and the body has amazing healing capabilities. We have students who have graduated and returned to golfing, another sport that requires bending and twisting, equestrians, and even an extreme skier known for his incredible stunts. 😊
I was in a car accident, in 2002, which caused my stenosis. Sitting was the worse thing I could do. I had chronic lower back pain, for 20 years. Then I walked 50 miles per month, for 3 months. My back pain went away, which was miraculous for me. The problem I have now tho, is addiction to gabapentin, which I shouldn't need so much now. But this isn't as bad as 20 years of back pain. I also would like to start doing yoga exercises again, that I quit doing. They are designed, to create flexibility in the spine.
I watched a vid saying yoga was not good for joint issues .
Thanks for the helpful video. How long does it typically take for a grade 1 or 2 spondy condition to improve (with proper stretching) before recommending light running? In the interim do you recommend walking everyday to loosen up the lower back?
Hi Mark, thanks for your comment! There is no typical timeframe for a grade 1 or 2 spondy condition to improve, as each individual is different. Dr. Ryan advocates listening to your body, allowing it to guide you, and reintroducing running when it feels right for you.
Walking is recommended and highly encouraged! Dr. Ryan's philosophy is that if you have legs and they work, you should be walking as much as possible. It is a symmetrical, low-impact, whole-body cardiovascular exercise that is very therapeutic for the spine and can help ease tension in the lower back.
Avoid the "silly" stretches as described by Stewart McGill.
i LOVED this video at the moment of "Spondy" discussion - the hope of Spondy treatment being successful is simply beautiful to see/hear. thank you so much. I am a wee bit confused as to how i can make the walking movement (pelvis) - i would like to see this on a human - maybe you have other videos? Cheers!
Thank you for sharing and the kind words, hope and belief are huge factors in getting out of this! I do have plenty more videos on the UA-cam channel, but the best place to learn how to develop the core connection and feeling for bringing the pubic bone forward is in the program. It's tough because it's definitely more of a feeling than something you can put into words, and so we go through a systematic process of modeling after infant/baby development. There is a free trial so you can actually experience it and see if it works for you. We start with the Back Anchor in the first week, and then the pubic bone anchor is in the second week.
@@CoreBalance thanks!
Yes, I, too, would like to see this in a human demonstrating it or the doctor therapist to show how please, and i don't quite understand what is stenosis what cause it
@@wallywalkabout9
I started the "pubic bone forward" a couple of days ago. It seems to be helping me. My SI is annoyed, but my worst symptom (leg stiffness in left quad) is the symptom that bothers me the most. My SI irritation and my quad stiffness came on about the same time six months ago. I am convinced they are related since imaging of my hip and knee have shown no abnormalities. Crossing my fingers this works because not being able to walk comfortably has really impacted my life in a negative way.
What would be your advice for someone with mild retrolisthesis?
What are your suggestion for walking when I have my both knee replacement surgery. Please give your suggestion. Thanks.
Thank you for your video. How would I teach this to a 79 year old with no body awareness ? What are some easy cues?
I have severe foraminal stenosis at L5-s1. I can walk about 50 steps and then I have to get on the ground and unpinch the nerve. You are the first person who's suggested a technique to avoid the pain. I will try it
Hi Ty, thank you so much for your comment. Please do try it out, and let us know how it goes! 😊
Making sure your inner heel has not collapsed downward in footwear i found was important. Aswell as a hotwater bottle on the area when its bad.
Correct thoughtful walking with the foot going down properly, look at your footwear outer heels , is it even wear , there vids on this.
[ if it uneven wear then you will stand uneven effecting the joints ]
Correct eating can also help and losing weight.
Stenosis and other back / spine pain can seem to dominate but its possible to fight back using all of the techniques mentioned by the Dr and in my comments and everyone elses .
Ps : its possible to get foods that are high in collagen.. that build joint tissue . Also there are foods that can attack or irritate or even prevent the formation.
As some minerals / electrolytes need vitamins to work with.
Again theres videos on collagen production and types of beneficial protein to produce collagen.
Cut out alcohol and sugars completely as well as reduce carbohydrates [ NB : GRADUALLY ! ]. 😮
Unfortunately its going to be mind over matter in a battle of will.
Thank you, because we are retired people and we no longer do our finances online. Is there any other way?Or send you a check?
How does this apply to those dealing with hypermobility syndrome?
I have acute pain from cervical and lumbAR STENOISIS. i BEGAN PT WHICH MADE THE CONDITION WORSE. I used to walk for miles and even di d situps and 3lb weight workout on upper body. oNE DAY I JUST COILDNT GET OUT OF BED. my right side CONTRACTED and i spent weeks trying just to get out of bed. I SAW THIS VIDEO AND DECIDED that ONCE I HAD MORE MOBILITY i wOuld go back to walking. I STARTED WALKING AGAIN FOR ABOUT A MILE AND HALF FEW TIMES A WEEK AND I AM FEELING MUCH BETTER
HOWEVER, I AM ALSO IN PAIN alot. I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUt. i would benefit from some core EXERCISES WHICH WOULDNT AGGRAVATE THE CONDITION.
Should I strengthen my hip flexors for this or stretch it or actually both?
Hi if you have to sit for long times ,like tattooing someone,how often should you walk to combat the damage done from sitting .should you take a break every couple of hours ? Or how much walking would you have to do that day to help with sitting at work? Cheese Phil I have l4 l5 damage from golf
I'm 44 now. My problem started 2 years ago with mild sciatic pain and I immediately dropped 80 pounds of my weight, started to walk 10k steps everyday. The pain disappeared for a year as if I never had. I took a7 hours plane from NYC to Finland to see my parents, and lower back pain immediately started like crazy, MRI showed herniated disc at l4/l5 and bulging at l5/s1. I did everything I could of physical therapy, injections, pills and conservative life style and the pain was just getting crazier to a degree I couldn't stand or sit or even sleep for a minute. I unwillingly and unhopefully had laminactomy for the l4/l5 and I'm now 4 months after and I still have the same crazy pain and even worse with numb foot this time. Post op bed sleeping initiate a bulging in my neck as well at c2/c3/c4 and now I can't work or sit or even stand longer than 5 minutes. I feel my life has come to an end. I prey 5 times a day for God to take my soul so quick so that I can get relief.
Don't give, let the inflammation settle it will get better. Sitting aggravates mine bad
@@blackswanrising2024 Thank you Tim 🙏
Hi Mahmoud, thank you for sharing your situation with us; that is very helpful. I'm so sorry to hear about the intense pain and challenges you've been facing. It sounds like you've been through a lot, and I want to express my deepest empathy for your situation.
I want you to know that you're not alone in this journey, and there is hope for improvement. We've had many students with a history of surgeries, sciatica pain, and herniated and bulging discs find relief and improved quality of life through our program.
The Core Balance Training program has been specifically designed to address a wide range of issues, including those similar to your own. Dr. Ryan himself faced severe degenerative disc disease, several herniated discs in the lumbar spine, stenosis, joint instability, spondylolisthesis, and sciatica. This program was created to help individuals dealing with such conditions and the associated muscle imbalances that can cause nerve symptoms, including stenosis, sciatica, scoliosis, joint instabilities, thinning and narrowing of the spinal canal, herniated and bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease.
I'd also like to share two recent videos where Dr. Ryan provides a visual representation of our program's impact that I think you'd find very helpful. In this video, he showcases his MRI and X-Ray results before starting the program and an updated MRI and X-Ray of his spine now. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/GfDkhpg0RGw/v-deo.html. Dr. Ryan also put together a comparison video where you can see his spine MRI from 2013 vs. 2023. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/aI_4p8V_9T8/v-deo.html. These videos are great examples of what our program and approach can achieve.
I recommend taking advantage of our free 7-day trial. It covers the first week of the course and it's where many of our students report feeling significant relief. We'd love to support you on your journey towards a pain-free life! 💙
Hi Mahmood, l am sorry that you are feeling so bad. You are definately not alone. I too struggle to stand up and walk and require a walker for support. I have been told by a wise professional medical person that the body was designed to heal. When l first read this l began to feel positive that a miracle was not far away. Don't ever give up Mahmood, be kind to your body and try to keep positive thoughts. I have read about people who have been in worse situations than myself, who have received the right professional help and have got back on their feet without pain. God bless, kind regards 🙏🙂
@@user-fe6xn8fr1x Thank you for your sweet words, here I'm after a while of my first comment with excruciating pain worse than before. I'm really trying to be positive, ignore the pain, walk everday, do mobility exercises but nothing seems to help. Hope you get better soon 🙏
Add scoliosis to the mix and that’s me at 64..could you show how this is done?
Does a lumbar mri require contrast?
Wow, congratulations on 500mi walk! 👏 I believe I'm dealing with combination Stenosis and sciatic impingement via piriformis.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for the congratulations! My program can absolutely help you with relief. Here is the link to the 7 Day Free Trial if you ever want to give it a try:

We would love to help you. Thank you so much for watching this video!
I have this, but where is the video to tell you how to correct it?
Am 75 suffering Lumbar Spinal Stenosis injury almost one year.
Am followed Lumbar Stenosis exercises, it is effective and feels slightly subsided.
How I can get rid of numbness at the palm of my feet? Tq ❤
Dr. Ryan, I have an lamindectomy in 2013 L4&5, and have stenosis and sciatic in left leg. I also have a s-curve in my spine which I believe causes me spasm and lower back problems. I cannot run anymore, but walk with some problems on left lower back and hip area. Any suggestions on corrective solutions? I still out walking the dog and working in the gym. I’m 60 now and relatively healthy.
Hi Ken, thank you so much for sharing your situation with us; that is so helpful in understanding what is going on.
The Core Balance Training program is designed to directly address the patterns that cause these specific conditions you're dealing with, including stenosis and sciatica. The program can also help promote muscular balance to reduce uncomfortable muscle spasms.
By bringing the body into alignment, as our program teaches, you create more space in the spinal canal, alleviating the pain associated with sciatica. Additionally, by bringing your muscles into balance, we can help open up the space that has been narrowing and compressing, often associated with stenosis.
Strengthening the muscles that support the natural curvature of the spine can help restore and maintain a healthier alignment in many cases. The core muscles, including the abdominal muscles, play a vital role in supporting the spine. Strengthening the core muscles can provide stability to the lower back, contributing to better posture and alleviating lower back pain for many individuals.
Here are some great videos that Dr. Ryan put together for more information on theses topics that I think you might find helpful:

I recommend taking advantage of our free 7-day trial, as it covers the first week of the course, and many of our students report feeling significant relief during this period. It's also an opportunity to experience the program and see if it aligns with your needs and goals. 😊
Hi just found your videos. Left a comment but I didn’t see it post so I’m posting it again sorry if it comes up twice. I do have spinal stenosis, but my pelvis goes forward not backwards. My but goes inward. Also have herniated discs degenerative discs. I wonder what your thoughts are on this since it doesn’t fit your profile. Thanks so much. Love your videos considering signing up for training. Just found them yesterday. Walking is painful and has been for a long time. I do it anyway and give myself breaks in between just sit on the curb. I have always had flat feet so Wearing running shoes with arches plus orthotics with arches gives me enough relief to be able to walk. If I wear something with no arch or just a small arch, the pain is absolutely unbearable within 10 minutes. Thank you so much. Good to hear your comments.
Hi Linda,
Thank you so much for your comment and giving me some more information about you. I have been able to help thousands of people in my program with spinal stenosis and DDD who have had tremendous success. I would suggest starting with the assessment to see if this program would be a good fit for you. You can access it here : www.corebalancetraining.com/program
We address these issues and so much more in the program. The assessment will lead you into the free 7-day trial if you are interested as well. Thank you so much for watching and your interest in the program!

I have been using an SI joint belt which has helped relieve the pain when walking and activities. What are your thoughts on this?
Hi Peggy!
Thank you for tuning in to the video.
As long as you feel you are wearing the belt correctly, it is okay.
Be sure that you are only wearing the belt while moving and exercising- not constantly. Here is a Short video where I talk about this.
Thank you for being here!

I jarred my lower back at work, felt terrible for a couple of weeks. I had sciatic pain for the last 20 years on and off, so stretching lots helped a bit but the thing that put it right was dumbell deadlifts over the course of a week, it just went away!
Hi mam can u send plz share more in detail
In your experience, what is the best S I J belt to purchase?
Thank you
Hi Sandi, thank you for your comment! Dr. Ryan has shared his favorite SI joint belt on our Amazon Storefront under "Program Extras" here: www.amazon.com/shop/corebalancetraining?tag=onamzryanpeeb-20. I hope this helps!
Hi Dr., I just had an mri..last one was 2015 and was sent to a surgeon who did fusion l4/5 with two cages and screws. Now 2023 have severe stenosis, facet joint arthopathy, two bulging discs, severe arthritis, a torn disc. Last year I was still walking three miles and push mowing. This winter my pain got so bad. I don’t really know what to do next. I have been on a short course prednisone for a skin condition. It helped my pain but obviously a doctor won’t give long term steroids. A doctor friend read my mri and said a lot of treatments would not work because of how much damage I have. I don’t want to get in strong pain pills. The worse thing I can do is sit. I did push mow today, but in pain now. I am doing pt on utube because my insurance does not pay all and the doctor friend said it was good to strengthen the core, but it can not cure what I have. I am so sorry you suffer too. ❤
Hi Rita,
Thank you so much for sharing your history with me. I am so sorry as well to you and I really hope you get this sorted out. There is hope! Even though it has been a challenge for me to get to this point, I am so glad that I was able to create a program that has helped thousands of people who are in pain and finally feeling relief. If you want to take a look into the program, here is the link for the 7 Day Free Trial.
I truly hope you give it a try and would love to hear how you like the trail if you do decide to continue.

Hi Doc! What is the best sleeping position for lumbar stenosis?
Hi Tara, thank you for your comment! Dr. Ryan put together a video about the best sleeping positions for back pain that I believe you might find helpful for your condition. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/nVG-dHMIojU/v-deo.html. I hope this is helpful!
I feel like the only way I can do this is to push my buttocks in and tighten up my stomach is this what you mean? Thank you
I have a desk job, but I don’t have a treadmill at the moment, would it be helpful if I walk backwards and forward against my desk wound it be helpful?
Great question! The variety of movement is very helpful for working at a desk. I tend to sway my hips and switch frequently between sitting and standing. Shifting forward and backward is another option too, just make sure you are maintaining that core connection!
Doc, can you help me understand if you are just saying that walking will help or is there really a technique or a proper way to walk because I was a little bit confused. .
Hi Maria, thank you for your comment! Walking is excellent for your body; however, the key is to maintain proper core connection, which we cover the techniques in more detail in the first week of our program. If you're interested in learning more, feel free to check out our free 7-day trial here: corebalancetraining.com/program.
