This channel is brilliant! I'm so glad I’ve come across you! You are a gift for us. Your generosity sharing your knowledge and the scientific explanations is much appreciated! Thank you for sharing it with us Will!👋❤
What a brilliant series of videos i do them all and now at 67 I’m probably fitter and more active than i was at 57 thanks for all your efforts in helping us oldies😊
That's fantastic to hear I'm so pleased my videos have helped to produce such a noticeable change - keep up the great work :)
Dear Will Harlow I just want to say that in my life I don't think I have ever really known how my bones muscles and body really worked until your videos
Now I know about why things happen and how to help myself. After knee replacement in the summer I credit the physios who hoped me for a quick recovery, so here's to you all and I wish you Will nothing buy health wealth and happiness.keepmaking videos because I'm either having g it or going to get it in the future and I'll be prepared. Thanks again Sheila k
Stiffness. Thank you for talking about this issue.😊
Thank you for your great and thorough instructions!
Will!! I woke up this morning with a stiff, painful low back - and found this new video!🤣 thank you!❤
Excellent video! I’m not over 50 but found tons of value in this advice.
Excellent explanation. I totally need the bridges
Thanks a lot all exercises are too good to follow with your explanation. Very nice. 👌🙏👍
Appreciate that every detailed is explained before executing the exercise. I did try one set each and was relieved from my back pain which comes and goes. From Canada here, wish you have a branch here👍
I do follow your channel and see your videos each day, but somehow this one has particularly been more useful than normal.
Thank you very kindly for sharing your knowledge and expertise, Will !
Thank you very much for sharing! More power to you.
Thank you for your videos!!! You are awesome.

Thank you again Will, very useful. The exercise against weakness developed a noticeable pain in one knee, .. any reason? Very grateful more, for all of us following you.
Hi Will, I do need to carry out these exercises as you described my back issues precisely. I also have a meniscus tear for which I receive ultra sound. My question is can I undertake these exercises without aggravating my knee.
Is the 3rd exercise (twist) safe for someone with osteoporosis? Thank you.
I was very fit until 2021 when my back started to hurt. I went to the physio at the local hospital who told me to carry on exercising which I did and, ultimately, I injured my back more which eventually went into spasm. 2 years on I am still in constant pain. Too late for me but a video on acute back injuries would be very useful.
It is never too late, you just need to right help and tools to rehab! Take care!
Not too late.
Like you I was very fit but had episodes of back pain probably caused by enforced bad posture when I was still working. Then 2 years ago my back went into extreme spasm so that I could hardly move. Owing to lockdowns I couldn’t get to see anyone so the condition if anything worsened for 2 months. Then I saw an osteopath who over 5 or 6 sessions unlocked everything. So I would recommend finding a good osteopath. GPs useless, they will only give you painkillers.
Now I am having trouble walking, probably because the leg muscles got weak, and I am finding some of these physiotherapy exercises on this channel very useful. Not up to scratch yet but rapidly improving.
But do see someone! Worth the money to get your health back. And best if luck.
I’ve been doing some of these exercises but will add the new ones to my routine. I also need to increase my reps. I watched your video about walking. I often have pain in the lower back and hips when I walk. I’m hoping this will help. Thank you.
Excellent exercises for lower back stiffness. ❤
Thanks, much appreciated
Excellent video Will. Many thanks for sharing.
Excellent video for me. Lower back stiffness is my big problem. My goal is to be able to walk freely while standing straight up. I am 77 years old and 3 years ago I had my L3, L4, L5 and S1 fused. It fixed my severe sciatica problem and kept me out of a wheel chair and I am able to do almost anything now except walk fast and walk standing straight up. Because of my previous problems and age, what should my realistic expectations be? Should I be happy with what I've got, or should I keep trying for more? I watch your videos and do the simple exercises you recommend for seniors.
Thanks Will
Thanks
thanks, I really need these excercises!
Find these videos very helpful.
Wonderful! Would refer patients to him any day !
One question Will if you don’t mind…during these exercise on the floor, can I place a small pillow to support my neck, since I feel a bit of strain lying flat on the floor on my neck.
Hi Will, I have been following your channel since last year. Wonder if you can produce a clip on exercises we can do on a long haul flight (economy class😂) of 10 hours, especially for those with sciatica and swollen feet issue.
Thank you so much. problem solved ASA I tried these movements.
That's great to hear :)
Hello Will,
This exercise not possible for me for now, until I get the left hip joint fixed.
I really look forward to improve through your well explained back/hip flexibility exercises💕🇰🇪
Can u suggest safe stretches for Lower back pain & sporadic bursitis caused by:
L1-2, L3-4 & L5-S1 level small disc bulge.
L3-4, L4-5 Mild- moderate bilateral ligamentous facet hypertrophy.
L4-5 level grade 1 spondy.
L4- L5 & L5-S1 mild - moderate bilateral neural formal stenosis. Thank u!!
Love your content , thank you. I did not know extending toes back can cause a cranky sciatica pain. Would this be in all realtionships to gravity? For example on floor taking toes towards knee?
Brilliant
Thank you!
I love your videos and often keep doing the exercises you are showing us. It is quite a coincidence that this morning I had an appointment with a surgeon who specializes in lower back problems.
He suggested I ought to have more exercises meant especially for the lower back. Now I shall start with these ones. One question: Tightness, I saw you on one knee but did not see you move at all.
Which part of your body did you push or pull? It was the third in the group of exercises intended for tightness. Thank you. Regards from the Northern Countries of Europe.
I recently started increasing my walking on a daily basis. My lower back is getting sore and tired. Will these exercises help, or will the back get better on its own if I keep walking?
Is that last stretch safe for spondylolisthesis?
Confused now about these excecises for sciatic they say we do them
Hi...I'm a 48 year old male, reasonably fit, working out everyday for the last 30 years. About 80% of my workout is body weight ( pull up, push up, running, shadow bowling, stretching etc) & 20% is light / medium weights.
I play active cricket.
In October last year, while doing a dorsiflexion stretch in lying down posture, I got pain symptoms of sciatica ( due to a disc bulge). Terrible pain lasted for about 7-8 days & after that it's negligible. I'm doing core strengthening for last 8 months but a certain part of my left leg - near the outer calf muscle, still feels lightly numb. Sensory perceptions are 100% all right even there ( as per tests) but that numbness / rubbery kind of feeling persists. I am a left arm fast bowler in cricket & wish to continue with the game without debilitating perils to my back. Is that possible ?
Hello. I am four months after total hip replacement and coming along well. I am anxious about putting my right ankle over my left knee/ thigh.I also have a lot of scar tissue to gradually work on. Sould I defer this move or just try it. Thank you.
can I do these exercises if I have a bulging disc at L45s1?
When I do the bridge my ham strings start to cramp. Will stretching them help with that problem?
I’m 64 recently had 2 TKR flexibility at 85 degrees what can I do? Thanks in advance
🙏💜🙏
