Great to know! 40 yo with bilateral stenosis confirmed 5 years ago. My chiropractor sent me home with a general low back exercise program and every single one of these exercise is on the printout. Thanks for the great advice! 🙂
I am a 66 year old male and I have lumbar spinal stenosis. After watching several videos about physical therapy for this condition, I came to the realization that my therapist didn't know what he was doing. He had me doing all 3 of the exercises you show as contraindicated. I felt worse after 15 sessions with him. I won't be returning to him anymore.
I hear you’s. Most PTs are clueless. This guy is rock solid
shocking
12 noon Sunday - so that’s why swimming has become a problem for me! Thx for clarifying
Your information is very helpful. Thanks.
I know this is off topic but it’s your newest and I wanted you to see it as I’m really impressed with your channel. Could you please do a series on total hip replacement and the resulting shifting of loading onto the knees? I can hardly get out out of bed to a vertical position because of both bilateral knee pain and plus prostheses pain from 2 THAs. So it’s deconditioning city big time. Nobody, including surgeons and PTs ever really discuss gait and the resultant problems that can happen predictably months or years down the road. Thanks so much for great channel for those of us older than dirt! ❤
Thank you! I have made a note of your idea and will add it to my video list!
Another great vid! Thanks Will!
My pleasure!
You explain very well, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Yes! Great information. Consistently, these exercises are shown in lower back pain yoga videos. I knew though they always hurt me even though my form was good. I wonder about spinal twists- some times I think they aggravate the pain as well. Also, I am curious about certain weight training exercises
that may have negative effect with spinal stenosis.
I have stenosis but I also have bulging discs in L4-L5 and L5-S1, standing extension relieves the pain for me and allows me to be able to walk for a few more steps
Thanks for this video- however, it's so very confusing to hear such radically different info. from one P/T or specialist, etc, to the other. So many say this exercise or that exercise is great, others say not to do it. I'm a RN and research things so much and follow through for my degenerative disc disease and herniation at c5c6, but don't know what info. to trust or do because the very ones people tell us to do, but then others say not to. Your info. makes sense, but again, it just varies so much from specialist to specialist.
You are absolutely correct..also similar quandary with nutritional and supplements information !
Hello Kelly, totally understand the frustration and I totally agree it is difficult to get the right advice! This video is aimed at "true" cases of spinal stenosis and usually applies to people with quite advanced degenerative changes. The advice in this video is not relevant for those with simple cases of DDD or disc bulges/herniations. Hope that clarifies things.
I know this is not on the video topic but could you please add a series on hip arthritis, total hip replacement and the resultant loading problems on knees. I’ve had 2 THAs and acutely both knees have become almost unusable and I can’t remain vertical. Needless to say, our health system is so broken I have a snowballs chance in hell at seeing someone. Gait problems from replacements or back surgery can cause an explosive problem with all other joints even years down the line and nobody really talks about this. They just fix the immediate problem. Thanks, great channel for those of us older than dirt. ❤
@@HT-Physiohow about mild canal narrowing ?
Thank you for your video. Hi saw your videos and I do home the exercises. I have lower back and pinch nerve left side. I’ll feel sometimes another right side my feet down left side I have numb can you make video for these problems? Thank you have a good day.
Good stuff homie

What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. The 4 exercises to avoid for patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
are my recommended exercises for Spondylolisthesis L4 L5 L5 S Stage 2 and L3 L4 Stage 1.
Just WATCHING those spinal extensions made me say OW-OW-OW!
Hello sir, this is charan from India,
I am suffering from lower back disc bulge, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-s1. I am not able to sit and walk sir,
While sleeping also i am getting pain,
Can u please help me 🙏
Same problem i also need help.
@@rimisabbirpial8403 i tried 4 months physiotherapy and chiropractic.
And from last 4 months I am using homeopathy also. But no use.
Still I am searching for solution bro.
Same as me too .
Hi will,
I'm suffering from sciatica from past 5 months, pain is not severe moderate at best, but in both legs and usually calf only, other than that its ups and downs,
Shall i be worried?
I had sciatica, for months to physio every week. No help. Found a book on line, by world famous physiotherapist, Robin McKenzie, now deceased. Found the One push up exercise, he became known for, that my physio did not show me, worked like a miracle and which I use to this day if I feel the slightest twinge in my back. It just might work for you. All the best
Make something about central disc Herniation😢 both leg pain 🎉🎉
Check out migill ! Big 3 exercise
Back fit pro
Spinal stenosis is s worst than a bulging disc, because with spinal stenosis u can't even walk or stand for 10 minutes without pain, I'm only 31😢
I have this and I’m 44
Can this happen due to injury, like disk prolapse esp when using force to open something, like a deadlift and tug of war motion to lift open a lid then feel a sudden shock in the right buttock.
I have found your videos to be very helpful but this one confuses me. Extract from my MRI say this. I wonder if these exercises I need to adapt of avoid (One P/T advised these whereas another one one asked to avoid):
L5-S1: Facets and ligamenta flavum are hypertrophied. Minor circumferential disc bulge having preponderance for
the left recess and foramen where it contains annular tear is mildly compressing thecal sac and exiting nerve roots
more on left. Findings are causing mild left recess and proximal left exit foraminal stenosis.There is also slight
narrowing of the right recess.
there is no intradural abnormality.
CONCLUSION:
Mild degenerative disc disease and lumbar spondylosis with circumferential disc bulge having preponderance for
left recess and foramen containing annular tear mildly compressing the left side of thecal sac and left exiting nerve
root causing stenosis of left recess and proximal left exit foramen at L5-S1.
Degenerative disc disease and lumbar spondylosis with circumferential disc bulge, small central and paracentral
disc protrusion at L4-L5.
Thanks
Probably worth getting some custom advice but there is a difference between nerve root stenosis caused by a disc injury and "true" spinal stenosis... I understand this is a confusing point so I am planning to make a video on this very soon.
@@HT-Physio Thanks for your quick response. In your opinion which one is mine. Have already seen a Neurologist, a spine surgeon, an Ortho and a Chiro. Yours advice will be helpful.
I thought in one of your other clips I've watched you said the cobra was good for spinal stenosis: that it is one of 5 good exercises for stenosis.
what video is this
The cobra is often good for bulging or herniated discs but not spinal stenosis. I think this might be the video you are referring to: ua-cam.com/video/b_kAPWileU0/v-deo.html
@@HT-Physio hi doc its been 3 weeks for me
I still dont know what causes my sciatics if its bulging dsk or stenosis do u have any content to check the general idea of what u have? Ive been on 2 doctors already they both just gave me pain reliever for it
