  • Lumbar spinal stenosis can press on the spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine. Symptoms include pain or cramping in the legs when standing for long periods or when walking. More lower back stretches: • 10 Best Lower Back Str...
    Lumbar spinal stenosis often happens with age. The discomfort usually eases when bending forward or sitting down. These exercises & stretches should help relieve lumbar spinal stenosis pain.
    Start off by stretching your lower back and gluteus muscles. This will help take the pressure off your spine.
    Then you will go into a progress of the dead bug. This includes a pelvic tilt, and movement of the arms and legs. Make sure you master the pelvic tilt first because it’s the most important part of the exercise.
    Finally, you will do a bird dog progression in quadruped. This helps strengthen the core, and it helps work on general stability.

      Thank you for spreading the word :-) The one I’m using is called the Womfy, but it looks like it’s no longer available. Here’s a link to Amazon for a pillow that looks similar, but I have not tried it out, so I don’t know if it’s as comfortable: amzn.to/36q1gnv (affiliate link)

      I have Neurofibromatosis , and I have growing tumors that complicate matters in my lumbar spine. The pain is severe.
      I do need surgery this summer. If I sit or lay down the pain isn't too severe. But when I stand up , the pain is thru the roof

My doc is an osteopath, but all he did was give me anti inflammatories and muscle relaxers, which did nothing. This morning i happened across your channel. I felt better almost immediately! I will be doing these for a long time to come im sure. Thanks!

    Hi Dr Jo. Great video! Core engagement and strengthening has reduced my pain in the past but now getting worse pain more often. Have people followed this exercise group and been successful at delaying the need for surgery to repair stenosis? My spine dr is recommending fusion at S1-L5 and Laminectomy with cage for L4-l2 for my stenosis This seems like a lot of surgery.
