I was literally in tears from the pain I was having on my lower back and right side of my waist and getting very frustrated with how this pain has robbed my sleep. I did most of these stretches you showed us and the worst of pain was gone within minutes! I’m going to keep doing them to prevent and manage whatever pains come my way from now on! 30 weeks down, 10 more to go!💖 thank you so much!!!!
25 Weeks now and been walking like a penguin because of this😢 thank goodness I find this video. Gotta try this out and hoping to lessen the pain I feel✨
“The seated hip opener” helped soooo much with SPD (pelvic pain). My right leg felt so stuck I could hardly do the stretch but little by little stretched it more and more. I got up to walk after doing this about 15 minutes and WOW! So much relief after dealing with the pain all day. Sending love to all those dealing with this type of pain. No one understands except for the ones who have dealt with it.
I work in physical therapy and I recommend all of these exercises for my patients with low back pain-who knew the same could be applied in pregnancy too! Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Omg I have been in so much pain the past 3 days. Hurt to stand, sit, walk, sleep and everything! These made me feel SO much better! Thank you so much Bridget! 🙌
I just want to say thank you so much for posting this video. I've had tremendous back pain since the start of my pregnancy & last night I did these stretches. I've had 0 pain all day today. All thanks to you😊
I am actually not pregnant but I have an ovarian cyst of approximately 40 pounds, which feels like a 11 months pregnancy. The belt really helped me for I while but my belly is now too big to fit it! I can only do one of the exercises but it helped a lot, thank you ! And congrats for all of your pregnancies!!
I just wanna cry w the pain I feel in my lower back/pelvic area. I'm up all night and can hardly manage during day. 34 weeks and can't stand thinking I still have 6 weeks 😭😭😭😭
Your explanation of pain is exactly my thinking. All the nurses at the office said take Tylenol. I said no thanks I want to solve the problem not cover it up.
I've been in pain all day but I haven't searched anything about it I've just tried walking it off. I literally just texted my fiance while he's at work saying I'm still in pain then I opened up UA-cam and boom this video is the first thing I see so strange but I'm glad this was recommended to me!
This! This is the video you need. I told my doctor about the pain I was having and they didn't do /say ANYTHING about it. Didn't even make a note! It's been going on since my 2nd trimester and had only gotten worse. I'm at 36 weeks now and I'm so thankful I found this video 😩❤️❤️❤️
Finaly someone who explains exactely what i have been feeling since two months, but not beeing able to describe it properly. Thank you so so much for the beautiful and extremely beneficial content. 🥰🥰
I am 18 weeks with my 3rd, and my left hip has been absolutely killing me. The 3rd move immediately gave me some relief. I love all of them! You're doing the Lord's work lol Thank you so much 💜
I found out I have SPD after seeing this video and going to my chiropractor!! These stretches are seriously working for me. I'm doing them nightly and doing sooooo much better than I was so THANK YOU for not just saying "oh it'll get worse, just deal with it!"
This video really helped me!! My OB had told me pian was normal and didn't offer anything. But after doing these and the birth ball ones I'm almost pain free! In just a few days!!! Thank you for posting this and for saying that pregnant should not mean living in pain!
I'm 39 +6 today, I'm going to try these exercises as soon as I mermaid my way out bed lol, the pelvic pain is no joke. I've noticed it helps to not stay in any one position for too long (30 mins is my limit😅). I'm constantly stretching, swaying, bouncing on my ball, walking etc.
I'm 40 +1 day, yup I can only be 30 minutes in one position at a time. I gotten a ball a few weeks back and it definitely helps with my hips and back. Good luck to all you mommy's!
Great tip! I’m a FTM at 24 weeks and had to switch over to an exercise ball 2 weeks ago after sitting in chairs for hours racked my back and pelvis. Will keep bouncing until the baby gets here 😄
Mine is so much worse during the night. During the day, it’s my low back but easier to manage. I have to have my husband help me roll over in bed some nights
Thank you so much ! I’m 30 weeks and pelvic pain is no joke !! I’m constantly having my husband help me do things it’s frustrating for me . I just order the belt you recommended 😊 and going to be a mermaid from now on !! Thank you again !!
This is incredibly helpful! I’ve been struggling since week 14 (they said the baby has been in my hips because I also haven’t gotten much of a belly) and it’s only gotten worse. My doctor refuses to help me and hasn’t given even a little bit of advice. I’m currently 33 weeks and feeling crippled so I’m praying it’ll give me some relief
Bridget, Girl your knowledge and videos are right on time! 37 weeks and the pelvic pain is out of control. I'm running to my pregnancy ball now! Thank you so much.
this really helpful! I am 28 weeks now, and i started to feel sitting bone pain 2 weeks ago, it was so painful that I could not walk properly, I actively looking for solution to ease the pain, and I am very glad that I found your video yesterday, I tried all the 7 exercises yesterday and today, my muscles are a little sour, but my pain is relieved and I can start to walk now with my belly support belt. I plan to try this exercise everyday and stay away from sitting bone pain. I like what you said "you can enjoy your pregnancy again"! Thank you.
You are reading my mind with your last few uploads. I am 37 weeks today and trying to manage outer hip pain while all the chiropractors are closed. This is a big help. Thank you
I have had this pain for a few weeks on and off - all the books say “do nothing, rest” which I just knew couldn’t be the only way. I even saw an chiropractor for $120 and she just massaged me, no advice for movements 😐I’m so glad I came across this video. Motion is the lotion!
Bridget, you are a God-send! I just started my 24th week and have been struggling with PGP. After talking to some of my friends, they said it gets worse at 8 months. I just couldn't wrap my head around dealing with the pain and imagining how it will intensify as my pregnancy progresses. I really thought I just have to suffer through it but after watching this video, I'm RELIEVED knowing it's my body telling me to do something different. I will definitely start doing these tips. Thank You!
This is helpful! I'm 23 weeks and my lower back in so much pain..I wld sometimes just lay and cry. I tried some of this stretches last night and this morning my lower back feels great!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am now 38 weeks and that pelvic pain is honestly soooooo awful !! I feel it more in my inner thigh and it stops me from doing almost all my everyday movements! The mermaid movements is such a straight forward solution and I am so grateful to you for introducing it to me! But is there a reason why I would only feel pain in my left side and not my right?
I am due any day now with our second baby , all your videos answer and comfort all my questions worries fears concerns !!! Thank You so much for all videos you do they truly are helpful I wouldn’t be in the state of mind I am now if I had never watched any of your videos , I feel calmer and ready to do it again !
I had such bad pelvic girdle pain that I walked with a slow shuffle. I still hurt but I can walk with a normal pace. I'm really glad I found this video
I love this!! Thank you so much, I've told my doctors about this pain and they tell me it's normal, so I gave up trying to find relief. It doesn't let me sleep at times/do normal activities, like walking. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!
Thanks!! 13 years ago my doctor was saying there's nothing you can do about sciatica pain .... Thankfully i found out otherwise. I still occasionally have that pain thanks for the exercises. I'll give these a try
3rd pregnancy and I started getting pelvic pains in my first trimester I'm 14 weeks and I'm here bc I just finished crying due to the pain looking to relieve it with this video
Oh my god. My back has been calling me for the last week and a half I've tried every single stretch off UA-cam. You are sent from heaven thank god a lady sent me your video my back feels so much better, I am typing this after I finished these stretches THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE AMAZING GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
35 weeks and I have found very warm/hot showers + stretching in the shower and afterwards helps tremendously. Also, prenatal massages and chiropractor!!!!
Hey Bridget! Heres a really great exercise that I learned through my Physical Therapist, a great modification for third tri mommas like me with really severe back problems (for example...herniated discs with leg nerve impingement and spine arthritis from a previous car wreck that makes my cane my best friend at 35) is a great one to do paired with that adductor squeeze. Still sitting at the edge of the couch, put the squishy ball under one foot and while pressing your foot steadily into it, ensuring you are engaging the whole leg (visualize squishing the ball down equally and flat like a pancake) lift the opposite knee up (with your hand putting light resistance on it) and hold for 3-6 seconds. Release slowly and then switch sides and repeat. Made a huge difference in relieving pubic dysfunction pain and strengthens/stretches those hip abductors and knee stabilizing muscles too!
OMG I did some stretches from a different video prior to this with minimal relief. Got instant relief for my PGP after doing your moves! Thanks so much!
This is incredible! I was in so much pain I couldn't think straight and yet after doing this suddenly I feel closer to normal than I have done in ages. DEFINITELY doing this everyday!! Thank you ❤
Love your videos! Could you do a video talking about wrist pain and swollen ankles and feet and how to relieve or reduce them. I’m 37 weeks pregnant and these symptoms recently started and keep getting worst. Thank you💞
Im almost 24 weeks and my back has been aching the past two weeks, coincidentally the same time i started finally having some amount of energy and got to moving and cleaning the house. 30 minutes of washing dishes and my back is killing me so i finally decided to look for some stretches. This pregnancy hasnt been that enjoyable but i also had heslth issues prior, much so that my exercise lifestyle disappeared. I also had an appendectomy surgery a month into my pregnancy which also strained my back. I just did these exercises though, and already feel some relief, i had no idea glute bridges were safe for pregnancy becasue i use to do those all the time, not just to grow glutes but whenever id felt lower back pain i noticed they helped relieve the tension. Its one of my favorite moves. Glad to find out theyre safe for pregnant women. Thanks for sharing, it was so helpful!!
Thank you for your videos. You helped me go into labor with my firstborn without fear. I am so happy with my first experience, especially it being unmedicated. Thank you for your encouragement and soothing reassurances!
The windmill!!!!!! Omg that brought me so much relief! It got my tight upper back muscles as well that I’ve been having the hardest time getting to. Thank you!
Ive been miserable all day and I found this video and did the stretches. I already feel a lot a less tense and tight everywhere 😭 thank you!! I’m gonna do this the rest of my pregnancy
I have also been in tears the past few days but been feeling pain for at least weeks and this helps so much and now going to ask my OB for a support band
25 weeks FTM and I’ve been having tightness in my glute medius on one side! I’ve had some slight clicking since my first ACL repair and having this extra weight has really highlighted that. Working on stretching and loosening that muscle has been great and these are some awesome modifications. Definitely something I’ll work on post baby so I can be more prepared for my next pregnancy! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much for sharing these exercises! My physiotherapist is away for the next 2 weeks and I’ve been in so much pain today I’ve barely been able to walk. After 15 mins of these exercises, I feel much looser now! Going to continue everyday. The mermaid position is really helpful as well. I was literally lying in bed in pain while searching PGP videos on UA-cam then got out of bed with my feet and knees together after seeing this. It was way less painful than usual!
Thank you!!!! Doing the glute bridge helped me pop this spot in my lower back that has been feeling stuck for days omg it was so satisfying feeling it pop😩😂
i needed this because as soon as i hit 6 months it became super uncomfortable to do anything because of the pelvic pain. my daily walks got shorter and nothing i was doing was helping. hopefully these help get rid of the pain.
I've watched many videos from your channel, and I HAD to subscribe with this one! Absolute game changers. Being in my 3rd trimester for a first time mama, I have been in agonizing pain. You, your positivity, and well informed advice... I love you! ❤
This was so helpful 😭 I’m 21 weeks in and just experienced this pain first time today and I almost cried. I tried some of these exercises and now feel a little better. 😭💖
I’m almost 36 weeks with a huge heavy belly I can’t do any of these except the last one and that one felt very good. I’m glad I stuck through the video just in case
Me too😭 my insomnia turned into sleeping during the day. I stay up all night then fall asleep at 10am. I keep trying to break the cycle but it’s nearly impossible
Thank you so much for doing this video. I was in so much pain and could barely walk or sleep. I did those stretches and felt immediate relief. I even stopped walking like a penguin. Thank you!! ❤️🥰
Omg I'm so glad you said pain is not normal cause my OB/Midwife been telling me my uncomfortability and pain is normal but I'm like who wants to be miserable all throughout pregnancy...um nobody
I told my ob she looked at me like I was dumb and said I've never heard of that. I'm looking at her like is this a joke like shake my head whes been an OBGYN forever like ughhhhhhhhhhh getting rhe advice from you had been heaven sent I have belly band and it's amazing forgotni even had one
These are all wonderful exercises. The only thing I would critique (as a structural LMT) is to make sure you don't exaggerate the bird dogs. Perfect alignment and form here is optimal. 💜
36 weeks pregnant with my second and this pregnancy I have been seeing a chiropractor he entire time, best thing I have every done. I have a terrible lower back anyway due to a previous injury years and years ago so pregnancy just amplifies it, I would highly suggest a chiropractor (as long as your doctor approves too ;) )
35 weeks and I'm so glad I found this! Can't wait to start doing this daily. My left hip is in constant pain along with other small pains. Seeing my chiropractor weekly now is absolutely amazing but having this for the in between days will make life so much better!

Hello how old was your pregnancy when you start to feel back pain???
@@mammytumain i cannot remember now but it was definitely the third trimester ….
Congratulations !!! 🎊
Thank you for this! It’s resonates with me today as i have entered my 30th week 😅
It's such a very hard pain it's make m cry 😭 Allah make it easy for all pregnant women s
Jesus is God❤

25 Weeks now and been walking like a penguin because of this😢 thank goodness I find this video. Gotta try this out and hoping to lessen the pain I feel✨
Did it help ? 🥺 I’m 26 weeks and I feel like someone kicked me really hard down there 😫
@@veronikapop8161 Sad to say No.. I tried it for a week but it got worse.
But others said it's effected for them.
@@cai3881 that's what I was afraid of, I already noticed it gets way worse after being even a little bit active
All the pregnant women complaining but they Weren’t crying when riding that man. Must be nice to experience sex
I'm 25 weeks as well going through the same thing, been crying for the past two days at night

37 weeks here & im literally feeling all of these things ! Can’t wait to just have my baby girl with me . Thank you for this information 🤍🙏🏼
How's it going ? Are you guys okay ?
Omg I have been in so much pain the past 3 days. Hurt to stand, sit, walk, sleep and everything! These made me feel SO much better! Thank you so much Bridget! 🙌
I just want to say thank you so much for posting this video. I've had tremendous back pain since the start of my pregnancy & last night I did these stretches. I've had 0 pain all day today. All thanks to you😊
Am pregnant and having back pain😢..what can I do
I am actually not pregnant but I have an ovarian cyst of approximately 40 pounds, which feels like a 11 months pregnancy. The belt really helped me for I while but my belly is now too big to fit it! I can only do one of the exercises but it helped a lot, thank you ! And congrats for all of your pregnancies!!
Please tell me you had cyst surgically removed!?
I just wanna cry w the pain I feel in my lower back/pelvic area. I'm up all night and can hardly manage during day. 34 weeks and can't stand thinking I still have 6 weeks 😭😭😭😭
How have you been holding up mama?! Saw you made this comment about a month ago.
Bless u going thru the same with 16 weeks left 😭
in the same situation.. 33 weeks now😢
7 months in and I can’t sleep. The pelvic pain is real.
Same here.. sleeping at night is nightmare. Specially when it comes an urge to go pee but you can't move your body around 😭
Your explanation of pain is exactly my thinking. All the nurses at the office said take Tylenol. I said no thanks I want to solve the problem not cover it up.
You're unlikely to solve the problem so they are just trying to help you make it more bearable
I've been in pain all day but I haven't searched anything about it I've just tried walking it off. I literally just texted my fiance while he's at work saying I'm still in pain then I opened up UA-cam and boom this video is the first thing I see so strange but I'm glad this was recommended to me!

Righttt?? Finally.. its hard for me to explain too. This is the only video that explains my pain im going through since my 2nd trimester. Thank god!
I am 18 weeks with my 3rd, and my left hip has been absolutely killing me. The 3rd move immediately gave me some relief. I love all of them! You're doing the Lord's work lol Thank you so much 💜
Which one helped yoi
Aap ki beti hoi
37 weeks and I was in so much pain! Thank you so much! I still have pain but I felt such a relief with this exercises!
I had this pain for more than 2 weeks.. and with 2 sets of these exercises it reduced 20-30% .. thank you so so much! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm 39 +6 today, I'm going to try these exercises as soon as I mermaid my way out bed lol, the pelvic pain is no joke. I've noticed it helps to not stay in any one position for too long (30 mins is my limit😅). I'm constantly stretching, swaying, bouncing on my ball, walking etc.
I'm 40 +1 day, yup I can only be 30 minutes in one position at a time. I gotten a ball a few weeks back and it definitely helps with my hips and back.

Mine is so much worse during the night. During the day, it’s my low back but easier to manage. I have to have my husband help me roll over in bed some nights
I've been there!! One thing I've learned is how helpful a strong pelvic floor is. Engage that floor before doing moving!
I got instant relief after trying these movements during this video alone!! Thank you so much! 😭
Thank you so much ! I’m 30 weeks and pelvic pain is no joke !! I’m constantly having my husband help me do things it’s frustrating for me . I just order the belt you recommended 😊 and going to be a mermaid from now on !! Thank you again !!
After doing one round each of exercises number 4 &5, I go from barely being able to walk to walking normally again. SO thankful for this video!

Hahaha yes I tell my husband I'm like a flipped cockroach
Lol I agree you can do it with your shoulders edge of couch instead
This video came at exactly the right time - I'm 29 weeks 5 days and my pain peaked today. This is already helping! Thank you!
amalexander7711 you can also follow breathing exercises which will help you in last few weeks and also the garbh sanskar practices...
Ditto! 29+6 today

The exercise movement actually works!!! I felt a pop and the pain on my left lower hip area instantaneously went away!!! Thank you!!!
29 weeks and I'm watching this at 12 midnight. My lower back pain is killing me. Gotta try this tomorrow.
lol here i am two years later 29 weeks watching this at midnight with pain
Bridget you are literally a God send with your content!! I can’t believe it’s free! I tell every pregnant mom about your channel.
Only 25 weeks in and already waddling and wincing in pain over nerve pain in my low back pelvic area 🥲 thanks for this video!
I’m going through that now at 25 weeks :/
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am now 38 weeks and that pelvic pain is honestly soooooo awful !! I feel it more in my inner thigh and it stops me from doing almost all my everyday movements! The mermaid movements is such a straight forward solution and I am so grateful to you for introducing it to me! But is there a reason why I would only feel pain in my left side and not my right?
I am due any day now with our second baby , all your videos answer and comfort all my questions worries fears concerns !!! Thank You so much for all videos you do they truly are helpful I wouldn’t be in the state of mind I am now if I had never watched any of your videos , I feel calmer and ready to do it again !
I had such bad pelvic girdle pain that I walked with a slow shuffle. I still hurt but I can walk with a normal pace. I'm really glad I found this video
The last one was very beneficial I’m dying here at work and was able to get some relief. I heard my back crack and felt some instant relief!
I love this!! Thank you so much, I've told my doctors about this pain and they tell me it's normal, so I gave up trying to find relief. It doesn't let me sleep at times/do normal activities, like walking. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!
My doctors too! Giving some kind of information wouldn’t hurt but they’re useless when it comes to that. These movements help so much!
Nae Seriously! Lots of doctors just wanna get you in and out without leaving time for questions and such! 😭 but I’m glad the movements help you! 😊
OMG you’re an angel on Earth I was crying in pain before trying a few of these exercises! Thank you 😮❤
Thanks!! 13 years ago my doctor was saying there's nothing you can do about sciatica pain .... Thankfully i found out otherwise. I still occasionally have that pain thanks for the exercises. I'll give these a try

My muscles are so tight I can barely place my ankle above my knee. I'm looking forward to feeling better. Thank you for all the stretches!
The adductor squeeze 👍🏼

Ive been miserable all day and I found this video and did the stretches. I already feel a lot a less tense and tight everywhere 😭 thank you!! I’m gonna do this the rest of my pregnancy
Please do a video about upper back pain. Below the shoulder blade. 36 weeks pregnant and in pain 24/7 :(
Same here
I have also been in tears the past few days but been feeling pain for at least weeks and this helps so much and now going to ask my OB for a support band
25 weeks FTM and I’ve been having tightness in my glute medius on one side! I’ve had some slight clicking since my first ACL repair and having this extra weight has really highlighted that. Working on stretching and loosening that muscle has been great and these are some awesome modifications. Definitely something I’ll work on post baby so I can be more prepared for my next pregnancy! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much for sharing these exercises! My physiotherapist is away for the next 2 weeks and I’ve been in so much pain today I’ve barely been able to walk. After 15 mins of these exercises, I feel much looser now! Going to continue everyday. The mermaid position is really helpful as well. I was literally lying in bed in pain while searching PGP videos on UA-cam then got out of bed with my feet and knees together after seeing this. It was way less painful than usual!
I was in PAIN every second of the day.. I did this stretching movements and wow! I feel relieve AMAZING (32 weeks pregnant)
I like the exercise, very beneficial. Also that she is modestly dressed; unlike alot of exercise videos
Thank you!!!! Doing the glute bridge helped me pop this spot in my lower back that has been feeling stuck for days omg it was so satisfying feeling it pop😩😂
Omg same!!
i needed this because as soon as i hit 6 months it became super uncomfortable to do anything because of the pelvic pain. my daily walks got shorter and nothing i was doing was helping. hopefully these help get rid of the pain.
Immediate relief!! Definitely worth trying and sharing
Thank you so much for this video, it helped me so much!
Thank you!!! I did some of these stretches the past few days and my hip pain has greatly diminished. I feel a lot better and able to do more! ❤️
Feels good so far! Thanks, Bridget!!!
Amazing video i really felt a long stretch in my tight back hips and buttocks. Thank you 😊
I've watched many videos from your channel, and I HAD to subscribe with this one! Absolute game changers. Being in my 3rd trimester for a first time mama, I have been in agonizing pain. You, your positivity, and well informed advice... I love you! ❤
Thanks for making this video!! I’m 36+2 and this pubic bone pain is no joke!! 😬😫
You're 38? How many weeks pregnant are you?
This was so helpful 😭 I’m 21 weeks in and just experienced this pain first time today and I almost cried. I tried some of these exercises and now feel a little better. 😭💖
This is exactly what I needed. I just turned 36 weeks today and have been struggling with pelvic pain and lightning crotch...Bleh. So, THANK YOU!
Heh my username is bleh
I'm 31 weeks and it's literally one of the worst pains I've experienced!
I’m almost 36 weeks with a huge heavy belly I can’t do any of these except the last one and that one felt very good. I’m glad I stuck through the video just in case
Omg i love the mermaid analogy. It really helped!!!!!
Lol definitely "a season"... week 34... getting along fine so far lol just struggling with insomnia 😇
I feel ya 💜 hope it gets better for you. Insomnia since week 21 here... 31 right now. 😴
Me too😭 my insomnia turned into sleeping during the day. I stay up all night then fall asleep at 10am. I keep trying to break the cycle but it’s nearly impossible
Same I feel you girls 😭😭
Wow! First video that I found that's very educational and helping me to cope with my pgp
Great video Definitely needed this! 28 weeks pregnant and going through sometimes unbearable hip pain.
And I've been trying to move like a mermaid without knowing lol
Thank you so much for doing this video. I was in so much pain and could barely walk or sleep. I did those stretches and felt immediate relief. I even stopped walking like a penguin. Thank you!! ❤️🥰
Ok this sounds like “healed” ME in the future. Hard to walk, change positions for sleep, move, sit, stand 😩 gives me hope! Can’t wait to try these
Thank you so much I’m so glad I found this video I am hurting so bad I’m going to try these stretches tomorrow!
Omg I'm so glad you said pain is not normal cause my OB/Midwife been telling me my uncomfortability and pain is normal but I'm like who wants to be miserable all throughout pregnancy...um nobody
Same 😭
Felt relief 15 minutes after doing the exercises! Thank you.
I can walk with much ease now.
24 weeks and my pelvic pain is making me cry all the time 😭😭😭
Same here
How did you managed it? Did your Consultant given you any medicine??
I told my ob she looked at me like I was dumb and said I've never heard of that. I'm looking at her like is this a joke like shake my head whes been an OBGYN forever like ughhhhhhhhhhh getting rhe advice from you had been heaven sent I have belly band and it's amazing forgotni even had one
These are all wonderful exercises. The only thing I would critique (as a structural LMT) is to make sure you don't exaggerate the bird dogs. Perfect alignment and form here is optimal. 💜
28 weeks and been bed bound from this PGP never experienced pain like it
36 weeks pregnant with my second and this pregnancy I have been seeing a chiropractor he entire time, best thing I have every done. I have a terrible lower back anyway due to a previous injury years and years ago so pregnancy just amplifies it, I would highly suggest a chiropractor (as long as your doctor approves too ;) )
35 weeks and I'm so glad I found this! Can't wait to start doing this daily. My left hip is in constant pain along with other small pains. Seeing my chiropractor weekly now is absolutely amazing but having this for the in between days will make life so much better!
OMG I’m in love with my chiropractor, she is the best decision I’ve made!
Amazing video!!!
