Bought the sheet so much easier than pausing the video. My stiffness is easing so much,cannot believe the amount of pain I’ve been in for several months. Thanks again
Thank you Doctor Jo I'm in a wheelchair and always looking forward to learn new stretches that ease the pain in lower back and hips. this i add to my daily routine
That seated piriformis stretch is gold! My physiotherapist hesitated to teach me that one probably because he wants me to keep coming back. It works even better when you pull the knee towards your chest. Get a good stretch in the butt and lower back.
I suffer from lower back pain when I have been lying down for a protracted period of time. The cause of the injury was a year ago attempting to lift a heavy object when I should have left it and got help. Now I am doing these stretches, and they really help me loosen up my back and take the painful stiffness away. These stretches are now part of my daily morning stretching routine. Thank you so much Dr Jo. You have really helped me cope with the lower back pain I get after lying down for a protracted period of time.
I just did these stretches for the first time i just got over covid a few weeks ago, it drove me nuts and made my back ache cause i had been laying around all day. These stretches really helped a lot thanks for uploading this video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr. Jo! I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and share this video and many more of yours with my clients. Thank you so much!
Hi! Just watched you stiff knee video..LOVE IT! It’s helped soo much! After 3 months of no use bec of torn MCL ACL Meniscus and blood clots, I was (am) super stiff. I’ve incorporated the heel taps into my PT and it’s a godsend. You are extremely appreciated❤️
I had no clue just how tight my hamstrings were... I couldn’t even lean forward. Watching this once, pausing for repetitions, has given me more relief than fists full of ibuprofen. Thank you.
With work from home I sprained my back pretty bad last night. Was unable to even walk. Aside from bengay and neighbor’s walker this video is surely a godsend. Subscriber forever! Thanks Ask Doctor Jo👍🙌
Thank you so much for this! I was doing online college and most of classes on Zoom were 2-3 hours long. My back was hurting so bad. After finding this I feel less stress in the back.
These are great, I have a leg injury and feel some sort of dizziness thanks to my back being stiff from constant sitting, and I can’t exercise on the floor. I did everything except the leg stretches for obvious reasons.
THANK YOU THANK YOU I have been doing this for only 2 days and my lower back feels so much better. My walk (gate) is so much better with being able to walk more and farther. THANKS again.
JUST SUBSCRIBED !I have a friend in his 70'S who has been relatively healthy up until last year,he has lower back and hip pain , so I sent him a couple of your videos. I'm going to see if you have anything for strengthening abdominal muscles for my hernia before it gets bad. Love that doggie !
♥️🐕🥰🐾thank you bunches Dr.Jo! Simple, straightforward guidance is so helpful & your professional, compassionate delivery & your pup are great! I have found these exercises beneficial to my fibromyalgia & muscular skeletal tension ♥️
Thank you Doctor Jo! Just what Looking for. Don’t have access to a chiropractor and these will sure help, as I am also not able to get down on the floor easily and don’t want to cause more discomfort. Enjoyed as always.🙏🏼
Thank you. I am and incomplete quadriplegic. I have arthritis in my lower back and I was looking for some good seated lower back stretches and found you. I will be doing these every morning for the next week, while trying to stand each day (I could walk a little before but my back tightness (spasticity due to sci) is very bad this year. I’m 37 and 4 years post c4 spinal cord injury. I’ve tried everything, so I’m hoping these stretches will make a difference. Thank you! I subscribed too :)
Jo: Do these if you have trouble getting to the floor Me: *Stretches and tips over chair* Me: She was right! I got to the floor no problem! Just kidding, these were really helpful and felt good :)
lol That sounds like something I would do! related funny story: When I went to meet the dean at college on orientation day with all the other new kids I came in, rushing to a chair, and went to sit down. Totally missed judged how close I was to the chair, plus it had wheels and a curved front lip. I barely touched the chair, it went sliding out and I went down hard on the ground in front of evvveryone. Great first impression! *heavy sarcasm* lol Then I was the only one laughing at my graceful entry and the mom sitting close to me was very concerned for me. lol Poor thing, "I'm known for this! Don't mind me! lol" If you can't laugh at yourself then you are missing out on some good medicine, I say.
By bad 😂 I was one of the ones that quite regularly find myself coming back to your channel via recommendations but never subscribed. I have subbed today! Lol.
I work as a truck driver and I'm wondering what exercises I can do while sitting to alleviate lower back pain. I've started doing two specific exercises, and they seem to be helping. Then I turned to UA-cam to see if there was anything else about these exercises, and I found your video.
Maybe I will try this two times a day because I have a continuous back pain. I cannot go or I am afraid to go to the hospital for check up due to Covid-19 active cases. Anyways I already subscribed to your channel Doc. Thank you so much for the tips. It really helps on my back pain!

Seated stretch is great. Sports injury .. goes away comes back . No one ever speaks of type of mattress .. softness or hardness levels for for issues like these .. memory foam is horribly hot So softer or harder better for lower back ?! Thanks
Hi Doctor Jo thanks for this helpful video. When i do the stretch on 4:55 and lean forward, i am hearing like one of my muscle in the buttock snapping, what is that or what should i do to solve this problem? Thanks a lot!!!
I'm just here because of online class😑 My Mapeh teacher told us to record ourselves doing these excercises🙄 Mga grade 8 na nandito nasan kayo? Mga pilipino na grade 8 nasan kayo?
I just did 2 sets, and I feel lil better, but you know better than me Pinched nerves are chronic it's always the right side lower back down my thigh the last one was years ago, I woke up Monday and Boom, I'm a retired Tattooist sat my whole life bad posture never cared until you have a issue😍Thank you...I watch your video 15 times already 😂
thanks for the video. my lower back pain is now not so hurting.. but what makes me get a lower back pain? sitting to much? or bad bed? or something happen when I'm sleeping..? it hurts one and another time.. rarely but very disturbing.. usually I get fever becuase I restrain the lower back pain all day..
What stretches can i do now that i have the Abbott BurstDr spinal implant ? Whats safe to do ? I am still plagued with stiffnes and pain albeit not as much in my hips and back and legs. Its only been 5 weeks.
Great info thanks! I could use a litte advise. Hopefully you read this. I am unable to do the seated pigeon strech on one side. My leg is far from horizontal in this position. What's cousing that?
Hello doctor, In my right knee there has been continuos click, I checked with doctor nd he says my one muscle attached to patella is tight and other one is loose that's why click sounds are coming, he told me two exercise but on doing that I feel uncomfortable at hip ,can you suggest any video link of exercise that can be helpful. Thanks in advance
Hi, I know this isn’t related to this video but I was just wondering if wrist tendonitis will ever heal fully? I get the tendon pain from using my fingers, wrists and thumbs, after watching your 2 videos on wrist and tendon pain relief and strengthening it has really helped recently and I’m hoping it will fix it altogether but it’s been around 6 months and it seems to come back whenever I use my wrists for anything work related
Hey Dr Jo my tailbone hurts when i sit for long periods of time it but i can only feel the pain when i go to push like im pooping. Do u know what it could be? i can’t find anything online. Also what’s the best car cushion that u would recommend?
Doctorjo I feel like I have knots in my left hip that cause severe burning hip pain when I sit on my chair to study which I have to for long hours to study. I’ve tried exercising with a band but with no relief. Can you suggest ways to improve it?

Searches up “how to stretch your lower back” comes back and searches up “how to stretch your back in a chair”
The cat one should you keep the back straight?
The back arches, like when a cat stretches.
is it normal to get a lower back cramp coming back up?
