Thank you so much for all your help. After starting your exercise suggestions for hip pain, within two days, I was better. At three days, pain free. I’m now starting these for my lower back plus supplements and the Mediterranean diet. It’s making a huge difference. You are so right about those big muscles in the lower back over compensating and causing pain! I cannot stress enough- how grateful I am for your freely given advice. I can barely get out of a vehicle or stand up from sitting anywhere due to tightness and stiffness but I’m determined to get a handle on it. I’m going to order your 28 day program because I have already gotten some much needed relief from your expertise. Thank you and many blessings to you.
Thank you for sharing this video. I was very intrigued by this and would like to give it a try, although I first would like to ask if you think it would help people who suffer from back pain issues because of both arthritis and scoliosis? I’d really appreciate your thoughts! Thanks again! I’m so glad to have found your channel! 😀 ,
I’m 46, went from having normal back pain to severe pain about 3 yrs ago. Chiropractor, PT, injections, then ended up having ALIF (fusion surgery l5-s1) Now I’m dealing with arthritis. My doctor has recently put together a plan. Lots of walking, stretching, ice therapy before bed, as well as a low dose muscle relaxer (5mg Flexeril) before bed as needed. Seems to be working ok, I’ll still get stiffness late afternoon/early evening so I’m going to incorporate your stretching exercises and hope it helps add to the daily regimen.
Hi Ester, you're welcome! We are so glad we could help. Just in case you're interested, we have a back arthritis help playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here: “Back Arthritis Help” ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maO8mjLabmoW2hgcx1XG2jH.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Sorry to hear about your back arthritis Jessica :-( Let us know how it goes for you trying this out.

I am 77, and let Covid give me an excuse to quit going to the fitness center, and I got in bad shape literally and pain wise. I have arthritis in my back from the neck to the tail bone. I have three back braces, one with a shoulder harness and all make the pain worse. The cat /cow stretch helps more than anything I have tried, however I will try doing the first two often as they are new to me.
Hi Dr Middaugh. Margaret from Singapore. have had knee pains in both knees usually resolved on its own. but had bad flare up in right knee n still bad. can't sit or stand or walk . just stumbled on your wonderful videos. God bless you.
I have used the Serola SI belt successfully. Bought a cheaper version originally but th original is worth it. No longer have si issues but wearing it occasionally helps my posture and consequently my back. Thanks for the info.
ice packs feel great and i can move really good afterwards. getting in a hot tub feels amazing on my back, but once i dry off, the pain returns. im thinking the ice truly helps and the heat just feels good
Hi doctor, I have been watching UA-cam for years and have found your channel to be fantastic insightful & explained in detail which many don't so thankyou for the free content is there any personal support when purchasing your lower back arthritis program please? I am on NHS UK program but it's not tailored in anyway - on low income so can't afford to waste money - thankyou Riky 🤗

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you for response so you don't do any of the one to one yourself? Is there any price listing I can't seem to locate on your channel?
My doctors said to me that I do not need a surgery but go and be active. such a idiotic speech! I have been active actually without specific training and I am on my foot every day 6/7 hours. But you explain sooo good. Thanks a lot.

Will this help with the burning pain that I have throughout my entire spine? I’m taking ibuprofen if I really need it. Burning pain drives me nuts! Thank you.
If you have spinal stenosis these work but you really really really need to stay hydrated. I was the worst at it but if you drink enough water that you pee clear your pain will drop noticeably
Hey Deborah! Yes, Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory supplement, It is generally safe to take. We would advice speaking with your primary doctor or physician if you have any concerns prior to taking it. 😄
