Eight words at the end of the video guaranteed to set up me up for the day, "Do that every day, no back pain ... ever." After doing this sequence several hundred times over the past 3-4 years, I can confirm it works exactly as described. My knees, hips and back are in better shape than twenty years ago. And all it takes is 12 minutes. Thanks, Eric.
So I used to do olympic weightlifting, which means I love squats. However, for the past year, I have been having knee and back pain. Would you say if I did this video for the next few months that I don't have to worry about knee/back pain anymore?
To clarify: is "do that every day" a literal or a metaphorical prescription? I know with lifting weights, we generally don't want to do the same exercise every day. Are the muscles around the spine different? Do we want rest days? I've always been a little unsure about what to do every day, and what to space evenly 2x or 3x a week instead. Advice
Thank you. My lower back has been loving these exercises. I’ve done these exercises for 3 days and I’m already feeling my lower back getting stronger but my herniated disc is giving me more pain. Are there any other exercises you could recommend that would help with my herniated disc?
To anyone wondering, this really does work. I am a software engineer and I spend more than 8 hours sitting on a chair daily. Sometimes due to busy work I don't pay attention to my posture and end up with backpain. This workout helps immediately.
I’ve been a graphic designer for over 20 years and it’s taken its toll on my back. Sitting and slumping in my chair for years! Been doing this everyday for almost 2 months. It’s definitely helping!!!
Please do not take this video down. This video is a Godsend dropped piece of jewel in these trying times. I do the 12min religiously everyday. My lower back feels brand new. Rinses off my depression and racks up my brain
I must say this works for me. It took two solid months of doing it twice a day, morning and night. However, after 16 years of constant pain, I am finally pain free. I hope this gets to everyone who needs it.
I cannot describe how effective this routine is. Even if you do it once, your back feels way better almost immediately and better for the next couple of days. Now do it everyday, man does your back ever feel good. The only routine I've ever found that is this effective. No physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, or medication comes close to how important this video is
I had severe back injury. I was not able to even walk 100m for 2 months. I tried all kind of medicine and treatment but nothing could help me. After doing this exercise for 1 month daily my back was fully healed. Right now 3 years later I serve in army as an infantry soldier, doing rucksack marches for 20,30,50,120 km distances and I haven't even felt back pain after that. Thanks for this amazing video course. I recommend this workout for everyone struggling with back pain
Hello, I'm just wondering did you experience any discomfort after the first few days of starting this? I'm currently on day 3, and have a little ache in my legs and the odd twinge in my lower back.
1:39 a.m., could not sleep due to my lower back pain, found this video, did it. Now I'm crying because the pain is gone. Thank you!!!!! I will do this everyday.
So that's one of my classifications of back pain... Have you been up at 12 or 3 a.m. searching the internet for some answer some exercise some silver bullet to get you out of the pain? If you haven't... You don't have back pain in my book... When you can't sleep because of the pain, you qualify for that club... Brad and Bob (love them) can't help... Plus a zillion other well meaning TH-camrs, although myofascial release will temporarily, only Dr. Goodman has answered the call in my book.
I underwent a major spine surgery in 2022. After the surgery neuro surgeon sent me this video and advised to do it regularly. 2 years gone, back pain gone. Feeling 20 years younger. Thank you very much Dr.Eric
I highly recommend watching this video on .75 speed (there is a menu option in the youtube frame). The narrator sometimes asks for 10 sets but doesn't give you enough time. Also the slower you do it, the better ;)
You saved me. Im 23 years old and i couldnt do jiujitsu because of the awful pain i had in my lower back. I went to countless specialists and they couldnt even come close to relieving the pain one bit. After researching for months i found this video and i feel like new. The relief. Thank you so much!
I’m 27 and came looking for the exact same reason. I’m 4 years into my training and have been dealing with back pain since the beginning. Planning to do this every day. Even after this first time I felt an immediate difference
Please don't ever take this down. I've had lower back pain for years and after doing this for a week my pain has significantly reduced. Thank you so much!
I do this video every other day , I'm on holiday in greece and wake up early this morning, so as not to wake anyone and with it being a routine thing, I decided to do this 12 minute video poolside. On being poolside there is a toddler face down floating in the water. I dive straight in to pull a young girl toddler out limp and with her eyes literally rolled up into her head. I turn her over and with a firm hammer fist hit the middle of her back a few time which results in her barfing a load of water out and miraculously starting breathing and making noise. What can I say ,I've spent a lot of time with you 3 guys in a morning but this is one I won't forget . Never saw that one coming . This video was the reason I went out poolside. Literally saved a life thank you . Butterfly effect I know but that young girl called Sadie is alive tonight because . P.s still sometimes after to do it in installments:)
yup. this one is for the all cyclists and WFH folks sat on a crappy chair. this has saved me in the French hills on a holiday with a lower back pain out of nowhere.
Do a small amount of this daily, the full 12 minutes whenever you feel like it. I would recommend you check out some of our other videos, this is a very small sample of Foundation Training. If you train frequently you will really enjoy the effects.
Words cannot express the gratitude we all share for your efforts Dr. Goodman! You have created a program that is a gift to humanity in bringing healing and relief to back pain sufferers, while increasing physical, mental and spiritual strength and health for all who apply it! Thank you beyond words and may God continue to bless you richly in your mission to relieve pain and restore lives!!!
I just learned about you and would like to ask if thiscroutine is something I can just attempt in whatever shape I'm in? I'm 50. A healthy weight. Used to teach yoga 5years ago. Havent really exercised much since so ive lost some strength and tone... ok to give this a shot and stop when it gets too hard and try again the following day?
Been doing this exercise for 18 months about every second or third day since I was run down on the ski hill by another skier. Back was badly hurt and this was recomended to me. Back is in the best shape it's been in years. I'm 73 and love it.
I read about this exercise video on Reddit a few months ago, have been doing it regularly since then. Wow! I’ve tried everything I could think of for my chronic lower back and hip pain-nothing kept the pain at bay-chiro, massage, PT, injections, painkillers-nothing. The pain was at times so bad I could not sleep. This 12 minute video is simply amazing. I’ll do an extra set before a long plane or car ride and I don’t get stiff and locked up. I’m so curious how and why it works! Thank you for making this video available to all for free-such a gift.
What this straightforward, 12-minute video has done for so many people is incredible. Knowledge that has taken years, if not decades, of work to discover and synthesize, has been boiled down to this gem. I bought the Foundation Training book, partly to learn more, but mostly to support this project. Thank you very much for making this workout for us and putting it out for free.
I hear you. I bought both. So great. Happy this clip is out. And grateful it is free. Hard to read, do posture, keep book open. I gave up. This video simplifies everything. I sit most of the day for work, and back taking strain. I'm doing this for the rest of September. Let's see how I go! Hopeful! Thanks doctor Goodman and Team! Bless you!
@@XGDragon Hi Stan. I didn't love it. Here's why : holding the book open while getting into a posture was not fun. It just felt cumbersome And pointless. I'd suggest the app, if it's something you can afford. Or just continue with the video here. Go well and I hope you find what fits /feels good, for you. 🙏🏻
Now 76, I experienced back pain five or six years ago. A fitness professional ( retired ) - I hunted the internet looking for the best. . . and found it here. As claimed, no back pain ever - after an initial two weeks of routinely joining the three of you young lads daily. Last year, the routine disappeared. By chance, this morning I did another search, and here it is! Such a joy during this time of global madness! I'm gobsmackingly grateful! Many thanks to the upload gods and goddesses!
Thanks for your love and support, it's been a wonderful feeling playing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I'll like we get along and stay in touch. Where are you streaming from?

10 years of back pain. Chiropractic care, physical therapy, injections, traction, everything short of surgery. This video has SAVED my low back. I've done it almost everyday for 3 months and I finally am waking up without back pain.
I've probably commented on this video 5 times now, but I really just need people to understand how powerful this short short video is on your overall back health and pain management. I love my chiropractor for showing me this 5 years ago - he's amazing but really it was my consistency with these exercises every night that fixed me up. Went from sciatica shooting down to my ankle, and a whole lot of sleepless nights, to almost no pain (let's be honest, bulging disks never quite fully heal...😅). Forever grateful for this video existing! Truly, if you "do this everyday, no back pain ever" ❤
I'm a wildland firefighter. I hike up and down mountains with 50 lbs on my back for a living. This workout is the REAL DEAL. It's turning my core into a piece of iron. Thanks for posting it.
This has literally saved my life. I’m only 33 years of age, have been shot in my left hip (25 caliber pistol), fractured my left fibula twice, broken my left big toe, and dislocated my left shoulder. Could barely walk, doctors wanted to do surgery or prescribe me meds and I didn’t want any of that. Started doing these stretches about 3 weeks ago and feel better than I did when I was 25! So amazing. crazy how doctors never want to find the root cause of issues and resolve them…
I have a smaller sample size but I recently pulled a muscle in my lower back, hampering my mobility a bit. Have done this everyday for the past 4-5 days since it happened. I feel fantastic
This is my first time commenting on TH-cam. This video is a miracle. I had acute pain from three different injuries: thoracic spine herniated disc, probable torn meniscus and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. I could barely walk up and down stairs and every step I took was extremely painful. My knee was clicking constantly and very unstable. I did this video for the first time 6 days ago thinking it might help my back and continued daily. After the first day, the back pain was reduced by 90%. Second day, the back pain was gone. Third day, I noticed to my surprise that my knee was feeling a little better. By the fourth day, I could get up and down the stairs quickly and without pain. The ankle and knee pain have reduced by 90%! I never had to use the expensive NSAID prescription I picked up. It’s been days since I even had to take Aleve. I went from feeling depressed and demoralized to feeling empowered and hopeful again! Thank you Dr. Goldman! You’re a blessing!
I started doing this video around 4 years ago when it was introduced by my cycling coach as part of my core and stability training. The first time I tried it I was in agony, as a police officer I had suffered with lower back pain as do many of my colleagues. I do this video along with the 8 minute plank and also the first responder video with coach Salas 3 or four times a week. My back and core are in better shape now, in my 50’s, than they were when I was in my 20’s. Thank you.
Once in a while, you find a video of real value. I am in Turkey showing a old man, in back pain this video. I was in pain for a year in 2019. Now I am pain-free traveling again. This is unpaid, unsolicited praise.
It’s not my first comment. I’ve been doing this consistently since I had a herniated disc in 2020, this sequence did what 10 months of physio couldn’t. Any time I feel some pain coming in, i do it and it disappears. My back has never felt this good. I will do this for the rest of my life. Thank you!
I'm a big fan of this and "Return to Life" by Pilates founder. Also have herniated discs and making progress with Foundation Training and RtL. I add "Schroth 3d breathing" which basically means a s-h-t noise during breathing (tongue to palate)
Just wanted to contribute to whoever sees my comment. I've been doing this for 3 weeks, every single day. It took me this amount of time, to do with no breaks in between the exercises. Every day I tried to push a bit more, and I was able to do my first with no breaks, yesterday.
I've had lower back pain for 10 years and have tried everything. This video is the only thing that has cured me. No more pain ever! Its simply amazing. Thank you so much!
Update: since starting this routine three months ago my dull hip pain on the right side and my lower back pain have completely gone away… Sometimes I’m feeling so good that I forget to do the routine for like a week and I can feel the pain starting to come back a little bit. This is the best way to stretch out your hip and back that I’ve ever experienced and it’s a godsend. It’s also improved my loseness while surfing. Mahalo!!!
@@MrPipeline100 I'm experiencing lower back pain so bad I can't even get out of bed some morning because of having deadlifted and doing a lot of lifting in general. Really want to try and see if this can fix it
@@MrPipeline100 My pain can be felt as a pinpoint more to the right side of my lower back too from the middle of it. I hope oyu're doing better with it then!
This video changed my life. I had partly resigned myself to suffering forever until I found this prior to undergoing major surgery as a last resort. Who would have thought the secrets to a healthy posterior chain lie in 12 minutes available for free. I paid for your private platform for no other reason than to support you and thank you. One small request - add some back pain / sciatica related keywords to this video so more people can find it. I stumbled across it embedded on an obscure blog post. Thank you.
This is the best video to help with back pain. Ever. Made. To those who made and uploaded this again - I’m assuming it was put up after some time down - this is such a great FREE resource to many people who are struggling with physical pain as well as financial stressors. I urge you to please leave this video up in TH-cam. Monetize it with a long Ad at the beginning, trust me no one would mind that, just please leave it up for the masses. It’s a gift !!! Thank you.
I'm an ex-hockey player that's had on-and-off back pain for the past 25 years. After horrendous pain for the past 6 months with no relief from chiropractic and acupuncture care, I started doing this training 1-2 times daily for the past 2 weeks. My back pain is subsiding more and more every day. I plan to continue this daily until the day that I die. Thank you!
@@Cheesusrice69222 They really are. Absolute hacks, unless you go to a special one like gonstead chiropractors. That being said, osteopaths are significantly better.
Spent 2 years suffering with back pain and sciatica . After 9 months of lost hope I gave into the surgery..recurrence after weeks with upping physical activity. Really encouraging to find this video and have just given it a try for the first time.. thank you and I pray this helps with all the good reviews❤️
This video has helped me every day for the last 10 years + twice a day for the past 4 years: Over 5,000 times. It is my only relief from chronic lower back pain (plus cutting sugar). THANK YOU!
Saw this on tik tok this morning….im absolutely convinced I released some trauma while doing this. I burst out in tears and kept pushing through. After my tears I immediately felt like a new person ! Thank you
Probably not a joke! Psychological trauma has physical consequences, and physical movement and exercise has implications for trauma recovery. Read pretty much any book on ptsd published in the last 20 years, and they’ll cover this. Weird but true!
@@todossomosanimales I've felt some emotion after super intense physical activity, and usually when it involved finishing a goal (such as the end of a thru-hike). I don't get it coming from a 12 minute stretch, but I also do not have any psychological trauma.
I’m a mountain bike racer and I came here in 2020 because of issues and I’ve stayed here for maintenance. When I’m 2-3x per week I don’t have issues and when I stop doing it I end up coming back due to issues. So here I am haha
Fighting back injury since the age of 20. Literally 100's of chiropractor and physio sessions and 4 years later with marginal long-term progress, I found this video through reddit. After two months, the change was astounding, the daily pain I felt is gone, I'm now doing this twice a week, I stand taller and feel so much healthier. Thanks.
@@istandoncorners I just found it on reddit, gonna start doing this starting today. I'm really curious for the results because of all the comments on this video. Finger crossed! And bless reddit.
@@caleb1675 Did it a few times, than stopped doing it because I get lazy, especially when I don't feel much backpain. This video has been on my mind when I had pain though, but I didn't try it again. Anyway, I think it is helpful and it's also harder than it looks. If you're experiencing pain, it will definitely help you at least.
Please don't ever take this video down. This has been a lifesaver for my lower back! I've had years of chronic back pain and from the first time I did this routine I felt relief. I had tried everything over the years and nothing and I mean nothing has helped the way this foundation training has.
It felt like I was heading for a wheelchair as my back pain continued to progress over the years. Spent $$$$$ on doctors and chiropractors. They could not find anything and the exercise they gave did not help. A friend recommended yet another chiropractor who told me about this video. This video has been unbelievably helpful for my back pain. You have to put in the work though. If this exercise is done diligently you will see results within a week if not earlier. I was so desperate for relief that I started doing the exercises twice a day for the first week. Couldn't be happier.
I’m on my second week of doing this every day. Sometimes twice per day. All the issues with my lower back are completely gone and that weird pain in my knee is also gone. Thanks to AJ Cantazaro for introducing this to me. When you’re in your 50s and still race dirt bikes. Regimens like this are a necessity. This is the best one I have applied and received results so quickly. I don’t see me stopping doing this every day.
I sit at my computer a lot and I developed this lower-back pain for a couple of years and someone on reddit recommended this training. I cannot say how disappointed I am in myself for not trying it when I first saw it some year ago. I did it for only a couple of weeks (once every 2 days) and already feel a change!! Don't have the words to thank Dr. Eric and my reddit friend!
I have been dealing with lower back pain for probably 5-6 years now, going to physio never really helped me. I would tweak my back every month or so and be out for 1-2 weeks. Got tired of the constant back pain and the Reddit gods showed me this video. I have been doing it just for 2 days in a row now and already feel relief that I haven’t felt in years. I will continue to do this as many times a week as I can! Thank you
I figured out why this works so well. It condenses a days worth of pain and struggling into 12 minutes. It is tough to get through, but there's no pain left over for the rest of the day.
My sincerest gratitude to you, Dr. Goodman, for producing these videos! Following these exercises several times weekly for the past 7+ years has fixed my lower back pain. “No back pain ever” is not an overstatement. This stuff works! 😊 Cheers, Kevin
I am a 28 year old female who got a diagnoses of a herniated L4/5, scoliosis (thoracic rotation to the left), and spina bifida occulta in my L5 when I got an MRI and x-rays from a chiropractor in September. Back pain was preventing me from doing my job as an environmental scientist, the chronic pain was depressing me, my relationship with my significant other suffered (and ended), and I couldn't lead the active lifestyle I once led because of this pain. After going to a great chiropractor, discovering feldenkrais, then having that feldendrais practioner mention Foundation Training, I have greatly reduced back pain and discomfort! I have done this video for a little over two weeks now and I can tell the days I don't do it because my back and hip muscles that were inhibited so long from the herniated disc bother me. I am so thankful for this training. It has changed my life, given me another tool in my toolbelt of healing, and I have been sharing this workout with family and friends excessively! Thank you so much Dr. Goodman!
Eric, i promise this is getting me through this pandemic. Losing friends, losing job, fear and lonliness... because of these and other FT videos, i'm actually stronger than when this shite started. Please please keep this video and others up, please. Thank you.
As someone who herniated 2 discs 10 years ago, back in 2014. And has struggled with sciatica and back pain ever since. I had a big flare up recently and through Reddit, I found this video. Day one for me, was yesterday. I couldn’t complete the whole thing but did what I could. I’ve obviously got some weak areas so I’ll keep at. Even today, the pain has already started to subside.
Been doing that for 2 weeks now. Multiple Osteoarthritis, fibromylagia, surgery on a knee one year ago... didn't think i could find an exercise that is quick and efficient. When i do the exercise i'm thinking i will die. Each time. But when it is over i feel so good !!! Back pain : less and less. Posture : changing and i take more care of it all day long. If i can do it at 41 with all the chronic pains i have, i'm sure many people who don't think they can, could do that. Try it, it is only 14mn and OMG it works !
This video has massively helped me in so many ways. I work as a gardener, so my back gets a good workout every day and often feels sore after some jobs. Doing this video each morning has eliminated ALL issues Ive ever had in this area, and it's also massively improved other areas of my life such as back squatting and DL in the gym, and overall flexibility day to day.
This genuinely works if you have back issues. I’ve had this niggling soreness in my back for years, but this workout has completely banished it. Thank you so much!
This is the best video I've ever seen in my life. For many years I lived like I couldn't do simple things and would, because of scoliosis, stand up only to feel tired and feel my body weight slump from side to side trying to fall away from me, pulling me down to the ground. Every time I stood up, all I wanted to do was sit down. It was awful and I didn't know why it was happening. Thankfully, I found this video through a chiropractor, and ever since I have been taking steps towards living a normal life. I remember being able to put my hands on my back to feel my spine curve into my right shoulder blade and left lower back. After a few good times of doing this workout, to my amazement, I felt the curvature drastically decrease. My spine didn't bump into my shoulder blade anymore. Now, around 2-3 years later, I feel that I can stand with comfort. Sometimes discomfort does creep back on me, but then all I have to do is push through a 12 minute workout and, once again, I'm feeling like a human being again. I cannot up-play the severity of that statement enough, I can live life because of FT. Thank you Dr. Goodman, and everyone associated with Foundation Training. You guys really are lifesavers, life changers, and honestly providing this world with something that in my personal opinion is nothing short of miraculous. If I ever become the next Michelangelo in sculpting marble statues, I will make sure you guys all get one of yourselves put in a nice park somewhere.
Having also overcome a [physiological disability with similar strategies to this video I know how deeply you mean the words that you have written. Life-changing. Cannot be overstated.
I was on my last straw with back pain. I told my doctor I would do anything to help with the pain!! He sent me to a back assessment clinic where they prescribed this video and hip flexor massages. It changed my life!!
These exercises absolutely work there’s definitely a reason people still use this today. The tough part is doing it every day consistently I think that’s the biggest struggle.
I just found this video through a friend. I have been suffering from constant back pain for the last 2+ years. Have tried many things, spent a lot of dollars. But doing this for the last 5 days has brought such joy to my life… I am starting to feel again what life is like without constant back pain. LOVE YOU, Dr. Goodman… this is a great service you have done for humanity. I will definitely buy the book as a token of my appreciation. THANK YOU!!
Back injury at 15, was suggested this video in my early 20's, helped loads! Forgot about video, diagnosed with DDD (degenerative disk disease) a few years ago, thought my life was over. I no longer felt as though I could be strong and helpful, but I was weak and needed help. Very humbling. Been weight training and keeping on top of my core strength, and had almost no pain! Now I am 6 months pregnant at 29 years old, and had stabbing hip pain that kept me from sleeping last night. I will start doing this workout daily again, and report back how it helps! Doctors will give you pills and say you need surgery, but most of the time I have seen or experienced working on your health and your core, some strength training, and just walking will take care of even the most depressing cases! Have hope! God is good in all circumstances! Thank you for reading my life story :)
Over two months post partum, and my back is really giving me trouble. I had a hard recovery and didn’t exercise at all for over a month. Pain now from picking the baby up and down so much. Did this video and immediately felt better. Will be starting to do it every day again.
Figured this video has changed my life so much, that I feel like I also need to share in the comments just that it has - cause it's been so funny that this video was given to me in 2016 with a friend saying it will change my life and back. He was right, and now I sound like a religious fanatic. But it's the most fun thing ever to share this with friends with back issues and watch them go 😧. So here's me adding my comment saying this is literally the best 12min back exercise video on the internet.
A friend showed me this and I started doing it a month ago, from chronic back pain and injuries to consistently upping my weights with dead lifts and no morning back stiffness. So happy I found this.
I was looking at getting surgery and This video healed my back God bless you and your ministry man and you have no idea how much of a blessing this video has been for me and my family
Hey Sam, thats a very general statement regarding Anterior Pelvic Tilt which can be experienced in a variety of ways. The easiest way to support APT is to strengthen the Adductor, Iliacus and Transverse abdominal muscles. To do that during the exercises simply squeeze your heels towards each other without any movement, just tension. Also, every time you exhale from a breath, pull your stomach back off of your waist band. I've seen this improve thousands of APT processes. It works, be patient.
I don't get what he means by "pull your stomach back off of your waist band" do I do it outwards or inwards? Also, knees will bend if y press my heels towards each other right?
Facundo Tabárez pull your stomach in as u exhale. Make sure u get all the air out. You’ll def feel more core activation. And the knees will bend slightly when pressing the heels together. Just don’t bend them TOO much
I bought Dr. Goodman's book and also joined the Foundation Training connection but this video has been BY FAR the most instantly effective. It literally fixed my back pain (I've suffered with mild lower back pain / sciatica for three years) in ONE DAY. I do this video every day and the pain has not returned.
Almost 8M views is no surprise. Been Doing this 1st thing everyday for about 9 mos. It is Magic for my 62 y.o. spine. “No back pain ever” since. Thanks Eric! You rock
Dr. Goodman deserves a medal. 20 years of back pain, 6 chiropractor s , found Dr. Goodman through my chiropractor who studied chiropractic with him and told me he developed a system to help himself because of his back called the founder... "Look it up and see if it helps" that was about 10 years ago. If anyone asked me about back pain I become a doctor Goodman evangelist. I still fall into back pain... Guess why? I stop my foundation training... It's only 5-10 minutes a day... But out of pain, and out of sight I guess... Someone just asked me about back pain and I gave him the girl with the chair video and a few other videos culminating in this one... And I just did it myself..👍🏽
I have now been doing this 12 min. FT training video for 5 years. I'm 66 years young and I truly believe it has helped me immensely. I play golf and it is imperative that my gluts are strong and my back can hold up to the force that allows me to deliver maximum velocity. I am grateful for Eric's depth of knowlege.
My chiropractor referred this video/website to me and it has changed my life! (Yes, my chiropractor cares more about his patients than he does money and he was concerned that I was seeing him so frequently and suggested I try this video out.) I have a hereditary curve in my spine between my shoulder blades that causes chronic pain. After I started doing these exercises, just like Eric says, my back pain went away. I am a mom of 2 toddlers and am now pregnant with a third baby and the back pain has started to come back. I've started doing these exercises again at 25 weeks pregnant and while I don't do as many reps as he says because I'm moving a little slower with this extra weight on me, it still transforms my posture and has helped me tremendously to manage my back pain this pregnancy. These exercises have also reduced my need to see a chiropractor and as long as I'm doing them regularly, I don't need to see one!
Thanks for your love and support, it's been a wonderful feeling playing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I'll like we get along and stay in touch. Where are you streaming from?
I'm a survivor of a blown L5/S1 disc and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete/competitor. I was referred to this video by a fellow BJJ guy. I have done everything (chiro, yoga, PT). I lift 2x a week and train BJJ 2x a week. I only just did this series for the first time last night, but I was shocked at two things: 1. How challenging it was, considering I deadlift/squat regularly and I am by no means low on muscle. 2. How amazing my entire back felt when I was done. Sure it was hard and I felt a lot of that good burn you get when you deadlift...but the feeling of my back being very loose and moving easily was shocking in its intensity. I am absolutely going to be doing this sequence every day for the next 30-60 days and I will gladly post another review with my long term findings. If this is able to reduce my pain and increase my mobility, it will be a gift to me beyond measure.
Foundation Training Dr. Goodman, this may be the wrong place to ask you this, but I've been researching how to increase shoulder mobility and correct thoracic kyphosis. I understand that foundation training focuses primarily on the core of the body and proper hinging, so I was wondering how much of affect it has on the upper body or if you have any exercises that, more directly, target these areas. Thank you.
Alexander Andreassen So I've been doing this as part of my daily routine for about a month now and so far I feel good. It has not been a miracle cure, because the plain truth is that I am living with about 1/2 of a disc between L5 and S1, and that is something that no form of strength training is going to repair. But I do feel that this exercise helps. It activates my lower spinal erectors, piriformis muscles, and my glutes and hamstrings. I think that this is a nice addition to my current lifting routine.
I normally don’t comment on videos but this is GOLD! I’m a semi professional Olympic weightlifter, and every year I’ve been dealing with back pain episodes. I was having another back pain episode since January, could barely deadlift 40 kg without pain(I used to do 130 kg for reps) and sometimes I get pain even resting in bed. After a looooot of AINS, stretching, core work and some other strength exercises it was getting a bit better but still can’t deadlift and so I found this video!! Today is my first day trying this routine and all I can say is that I was suffering while doing it🥲 but afterwards I felt amazing! I’m going to do this everyday!! When I’ll start deadlifting again, I’ll reply this coment on how’s going!! Thank you so much!
Wow, that was harder than expected…I am sweatin’! I was given this video to do by my chiropractor today as my lower back pain has increased majorly these past couple weeks (I’ve always had lower back pain but it’s been excruciating lately). I KNEW it was due to my weak core! After reading all the comments I’m super hopeful that this is going to help! Once a day…12 mins….I’ve got this!!
Hi Sarah ☺️ I've been looking for a woman in the comments who is doing this routine to ask if you were able to do the whole thing beginning to end the first time and what shape you were in. Have you kept up with doing this?
My husband has been dealing with chronic back pain, and as an active 24 year old it was especially mentally and physically demanding. He started doing these and IMMEDIATELY felt a different on the first day. Will keep doing these forever and ever!
This is, the absolute best, back/core training I've ever done. I love that the more you do it (and I've been doing this 15 min workout for 7 months), the harder it can get - as you focus on your form. After just a few sessions of this I decided that it's a life goal to travel to the U.S. to enroll in the Trainers' course. I'd like to be an accredited instructor. Thank you Dr. Goodman, you're a legend of note!
I do not comment often. That said thank you so much for this video. I am an office worker with bad posture habits. This past year has been havoc for my legs/lower back/ anxiety you name it. I have been working to correct these issues for the past 1-1.5 years. This is the best video I've seen/implemented for fixing my leg issues. I feel like a human being again. I have been doing this for 2 weeks and for the first time was able to complete the stretches without stopping! Thank you, it's helped more than you will ever know.
I'm an active 73 year old female, retired RN with scoliosis 50 degree cob angle lumbar region, spondylolisthesis L3-L4. 24/7 pain - unable to walk 100 feet without heat to back for last 6 months in spite of steroidal injections & a month of PT. One local CA spine surgeon wanted to do rods & screws up the length of my back. Cleveland Clinic spine surgeon wanted to do decompression & fixation of spondy. Third local CA spine surgeon said NOPE - PT w/a specialist in back abnormalities. 8 sessions later PT gives me FOUNDATION TRAINING you tube channel. Last night after first session i thought i might have screwed up something. Heat to back for 2 hrs. Slept great. No pain this morning. Did foundation training today & I am totally sold. This should be a paid subscription (glad its not) & part of every PT office routine. This stuff is worth a million dollars!!! THANK YOU I'll be glad to do your marketing for you!!!!!
All the comments on this video are so wholesome and lovely, so here's another one. This exercise is basically magic. It's 12 minutes of agony, but afterwards you feel amazing and like you can do anything. My sister and brother-in-law do this video every day too and I've seen a noticeable improvement in their posture, especially on their mountain bikes. Highly highly recommend!
Are you pretty fit? Or did you start doing this routine coming from not really exercising? I just discovered this video now and am wondering if I should attempt it or if I need to get stronger first......
@@ColetteO_ I've never done much exercising either. Still don't, though I'm trying to get better at it, lol. I would recommend this routine even if you aren't exercising regularly. It's not labor intensive and mostly focuses on stretching and strengthening your lower back. If you find it hard the first couple times, you're not alone. But I am happy to inform you that it will get easier with practice. That is the magic of stretching in general. Hope this helps. :)
Most of my life I've noticed issues with my low back pain and as time passed the pain got worse plus sciatic nerve pain too. I've been doing this video everyday for a couple of weeks now. I've noticed a HUGE reduction in pain and I'm able to walk longer and longer without pain. I also couple this with the mcgill big 3 and physio on top of that. I thought I would have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. I'm so grateful for this video!
Used to have chronic lower back pain. After around 2 years of doing this daily, I can confirm it not only eliminated my lower back pain, I can also lift and haul heavy luggage around on trains, planes, trams while traveling with no problem. Even went horseback riding with no back pain the next day! Thank you!
A friend of mine was close to giving up his physical job due to back pain when he found this video and it saved his back and career that he loved. He recommended it to me and having suffered lower back pain since in my teens and surgery in my thirties, I can say that this exercise routine is the only thing that keeps my back pain free. Eric, you are a genius, thank you so much🙏🙏🙏🙏
Holy @#$&*)(*. Just finished it for my first time, what a nightmare. I have always been a fairly high level athlete, but have always suffered from low back pain. This workout was amazing, one of the first times I actually felt like I was USING my lower back, not just destroying it. I hope this really does help!
@@keljerel it does help a lot, I'm fairly young and have extreme back pain, this video is the shit. Do it every morning, no back pain for ever. Trust me.
@@keljerel Yes it really has! I could go on and on about how I can squat, deadlift, etc. now with no pain. But the real impressive thing is I can sit for more than 5 minutes!
@@thor-grey Did you find yourself having to take some small breaks the first time you did this shit? I’m a pretty decent runner and athlete but damn. Currently trying to recover from mild sciatica from deadlifting and running a lot. Mines more in my piriformis
I had lower back pain that was not debilitating but it was bothering me, mainly at night. Saw a physiotherapist for a few month, did all the exercises he taught me every day, it did not improve much. My new doctor recommended this video and I can't thank him enough. After a week doing it every day, the pain was gone. I now do it 3-4 times a week and I'm still fine, even at night. I also do good mornings whenever I have a couple minutes.
Ive just done this for my 1st time and I feel like I've finally found something that will really actually work this time!- and only in a short time each day- Greetings from Alaska
Been IN DAILY pain for 3 years because of bulged disk and the pain is completetly gone after a week of this. I cannot do the whole thing yet but it's life changing. 10 mn of condensat pain so you don't suffer the rest of the day. 1 month later, if I keep doing this daily my backpain is gone. If I stop it comes back after a couple of days. Good luck with the back pain and regularity is what is paying off.
Hello, any update? I've a small bulging disc too and started this routine 4 days ago. I overall feel good w little discomfort (trembling legs, little twinges in my lower back and glutes) was this normal for you? I'm thankfully not in pain but unsure if I'm making things worse or not 😢
@@Ae0nflux6 yes I have the same issue. Doing this daily reduce pain for like 90% to 100%. If I skip a training the pain is back. It's still so much worth it to me. I do this after my morning coffee and this training also serve as a meditation session to reconnect with myself.
Eight words at the end of the video guaranteed to set up me up for the day, "Do that every day, no back pain ... ever." After doing this sequence several hundred times over the past 3-4 years, I can confirm it works exactly as described. My knees, hips and back are in better shape than twenty years ago. And all it takes is 12 minutes. Thanks, Eric.
Lydia Dugan this is the kind of discipline needed to actually see results
Again, I will try this. Yoga also helps, but this workout is highly touted by so many people. I have to keep at it.
Dr Eric is a genuine guy. What he says will work. I just now started this 12 minutes exercise. Hip flexor stretching is vital.
Appreciate the feedback after 4 years!! This is awesome
So I used to do olympic weightlifting, which means I love squats. However, for the past year, I have been having knee and back pain. Would you say if I did this video for the next few months that I don't have to worry about knee/back pain anymore?
It’s been 10 years since we posted this. Glad that you all enjoy it. Carry on. 🤙🏼
Just did this routine, my lower back feels so much better. Thank you
After 20 plus years of intense lower back problems including hospitalisations Doing these stretches is the only way I can function.
I do this almost daily. It’s the best! One question, on good morning type bends, should my glute muscles tense up or should I let them release?
To clarify: is "do that every day" a literal or a metaphorical prescription? I know with lifting weights, we generally don't want to do the same exercise every day. Are the muscles around the spine different? Do we want rest days? I've always been a little unsure about what to do every day, and what to space evenly 2x or 3x a week instead. Advice
Thank you. My lower back has been loving these exercises. I’ve done these exercises for 3 days and I’m already feeling my lower back getting stronger but my herniated disc is giving me more pain. Are there any other exercises you could recommend that would help with my herniated disc?
This might be the most beneficial 12 minutes in TH-cam history.
So inspired I can't wait to try this. My students could really use this, so many of us need to just break poor movement patterns. This would do it!
@@YogawithAliBeale i started it yesterday. SO hard. My entire body is shaking
I vouch for this comment. Experienced it
I don't get why this video isn't more well known. It's a core life movement sequence imho
@@sh0 Do you still do this and what benefits have you noticed?
To anyone wondering, this really does work. I am a software engineer and I spend more than 8 hours sitting on a chair daily. Sometimes due to busy work I don't pay attention to my posture and end up with backpain. This workout helps immediately.
Same situation,agreed
I’ve been a graphic designer for over 20 years and it’s taken its toll on my back. Sitting and slumping in my chair for years! Been doing this everyday for almost 2 months. It’s definitely helping!!!
@@anime-nn9klhello, do you still practice this yoga regularly? If so, has it it continued to be beneficial?
Same here! It’s also a great workout. The last 2 minutes with the 90 degree arms are killer haha

Thank you Dr Eric 🤙🏾
the man is a literal wizard wtf. seriously this is on a completely different level than all other stretch / core workouts
Please do not take this video down. This video is a Godsend dropped piece of jewel in these trying times. I do the 12min religiously everyday. My lower back feels brand new. Rinses off my depression and racks up my brain
How wonderful!🥰 You've inspired me to try this... I have been suffering for 7 months now. 😔 I hope you're still doing amazing! ☺
Even when I feel depressed and unmotivated, I still scourge up enough energy to do this workout because it works like magic!
why don't you just download it
@@chloebelle4923 Hi, any improvements?
I would just download it just to be safe
I must say this works for me. It took two solid months of doing it twice a day, morning and night. However, after 16 years of constant pain, I am finally pain free. I hope this gets to everyone who needs it.
I cannot describe how effective this routine is. Even if you do it once, your back feels way better almost immediately and better for the next couple of days. Now do it everyday, man does your back ever feel good. The only routine I've ever found that is this effective. No physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, or medication comes close to how important this video is
I had severe back injury. I was not able to even walk 100m for 2 months. I tried all kind of medicine and treatment but nothing could help me. After doing this exercise for 1 month daily my back was fully healed. Right now 3 years later I serve in army as an infantry soldier, doing rucksack marches for 20,30,50,120 km distances and I haven't even felt back pain after that. Thanks for this amazing video course. I recommend this workout for everyone struggling with back pain
Thank you.
What was your back injury? Was it a disc bulge?
@@bsamuelss yes exactly
Hello, I'm just wondering did you experience any discomfort after the first few days of starting this? I'm currently on day 3, and have a little ache in my legs and the odd twinge in my lower back.
@@Ae0nflux6hey its been around a month now, any progress?
1:39 a.m., could not sleep due to my lower back pain, found this video, did it. Now I'm crying because the pain is gone. Thank you!!!!! I will do this everyday.

So that's one of my classifications of back pain... Have you been up at 12 or 3 a.m. searching the internet for some answer some exercise some silver bullet to get you out of the pain? If you haven't... You don't have back pain in my book... When you can't sleep because of the pain, you qualify for that club... Brad and Bob (love them) can't help... Plus a zillion other well meaning TH-camrs, although myofascial release will temporarily, only Dr. Goodman has answered the call in my book.
I underwent a major spine surgery in 2022. After the surgery neuro surgeon sent me this video and advised to do it regularly. 2 years gone, back pain gone. Feeling 20 years younger. Thank you very much Dr.Eric
Well done, smart surgeon.
I highly recommend watching this video on .75 speed (there is a menu option in the youtube frame). The narrator sometimes asks for 10 sets but doesn't give you enough time. Also the slower you do it, the better ;)
Amazing idea!
I was thinking of speeding it up - cause its kicking my butt!
Super dangerous comment, nearly died doing the now 18-minute version 😅
Great tip! Thank u
This is the only way I'll be doing this now, nice idea!
You saved me. Im 23 years old and i couldnt do jiujitsu because of the awful pain i had in my lower back. I went to countless specialists and they couldnt even come close to relieving the pain one bit. After researching for months i found this video and i feel like new. The relief. Thank you so much!
That's exactly me right now LOL
I’m 27 and came looking for the exact same reason. I’m 4 years into my training and have been dealing with back pain since the beginning. Planning to do this every day. Even after this first time I felt an immediate difference
Please don't ever take this down. I've had lower back pain for years and after doing this for a week my pain has significantly reduced. Thank you so much!
Download the video to your computer so you always have it.
@@-sd8ze943no shit sherlock
I do this video every other day , I'm on holiday in greece and wake up early this morning, so as not to wake anyone and with it being a routine thing, I decided to do this 12 minute video poolside.
On being poolside there is a toddler face down floating in the water. I dive straight in to pull a young girl toddler out limp and with her eyes literally rolled up into her head.
I turn her over and with a firm hammer fist hit the middle of her back a few time which results in her barfing a load of water out and miraculously starting breathing and making noise.
What can I say ,I've spent a lot of time with you 3 guys in a morning but this is one I won't forget .
Never saw that one coming . This video was the reason I went out poolside. Literally saved a life thank you .
Butterfly effect I know but that young girl called Sadie is alive tonight because . P.s still sometimes after to do it in installments:)
Wow crazy story.
what a blessing. thanks for letting us know.
It’s 2023 and this is still my go to back exercise
Same. It's pure gold.
Same. Found it after a brutal back injury in 2013. Still do it as my warmup
100%. This is such a reliable workout. Simple, quick, but challenging.
Every time I do this routine I read the comments afterwards and it brightens my day and usually brings a tear to my eye. Thank you Dr. Goodman!
same. love you man, stay strong!
yup. this one is for the all cyclists and WFH folks sat on a crappy chair. this has saved me in the French hills on a holiday with a lower back pain out of nowhere.
Do a small amount of this daily, the full 12 minutes whenever you feel like it. I would recommend you check out some of our other videos, this is a very small sample of Foundation Training. If you train frequently you will really enjoy the effects.
Words cannot express the gratitude we all share for your efforts Dr. Goodman! You have created a program that is a gift to humanity in bringing healing and relief to back pain sufferers, while increasing physical, mental and spiritual strength and health for all who apply it! Thank you beyond words and may God continue to bless you richly in your mission to relieve pain and restore lives!!!
I just learned about you and would like to ask if thiscroutine is something I can just attempt in whatever shape I'm in? I'm 50. A healthy weight. Used to teach yoga 5years ago. Havent really exercised much since so ive lost some strength and tone... ok to give this a shot and stop when it gets too hard and try again the following day?
Been doing this exercise for 18 months about every second or third day since I was run down on the ski hill by another skier. Back was badly hurt and this was recomended to me. Back is in the best shape it's been in years. I'm 73 and love it.
3 years later, are you still doing this?

@@Xaynor- 76 now, he might be dead.
I read about this exercise video on Reddit a few months ago, have been doing it regularly since then. Wow! I’ve tried everything I could think of for my chronic lower back and hip pain-nothing kept the pain at bay-chiro, massage, PT, injections, painkillers-nothing. The pain was at times so bad I could not sleep. This 12 minute video is simply amazing. I’ll do an extra set before a long plane or car ride and I don’t get stiff and locked up. I’m so curious how and why it works! Thank you for making this video available to all for free-such a gift.
What this straightforward, 12-minute video has done for so many people is incredible. Knowledge that has taken years, if not decades, of work to discover and synthesize, has been boiled down to this gem. I bought the Foundation Training book, partly to learn more, but mostly to support this project. Thank you very much for making this workout for us and putting it out for free.
I hear you. I bought both. So great. Happy this clip is out. And grateful it is free. Hard to read, do posture, keep book open. I gave up. This video simplifies everything. I sit most of the day for work, and back taking strain. I'm doing this for the rest of September. Let's see how I go! Hopeful! Thanks doctor Goodman and Team! Bless you!
@@arleneg6040 Would you recommend the book?
@@XGDragon Hi Stan. I didn't love it. Here's why : holding the book open while getting into a posture was not fun. It just felt cumbersome And pointless. I'd suggest the app, if it's something you can afford. Or just continue with the video here. Go well and I hope you find what fits /feels good, for you. 🙏🏻
Does this work?
Now 76, I experienced back pain five or six years ago. A fitness professional ( retired ) - I hunted the internet looking for the best. . . and found it here. As claimed, no back pain ever - after an initial two weeks of routinely joining the three of you young lads daily. Last year, the routine disappeared. By chance, this morning I did another search, and here it is! Such a joy during this time of global madness! I'm gobsmackingly grateful! Many thanks to the upload gods and goddesses!

Went from sciatica shooting down to my ankle, and a whole lot of sleepless nights, to almost no pain (let's be honest, bulging disks never quite fully heal...😅).

It's 2024 and I am coming back to these amazing exercises for the lower back again as they have helped so much in my healing journey !
This has literally saved my life. I’m only 33 years of age, have been shot in my left hip (25 caliber pistol), fractured my left fibula twice, broken my left big toe, and dislocated my left shoulder. Could barely walk, doctors wanted to do surgery or prescribe me meds and I didn’t want any of that. Started doing these stretches about 3 weeks ago and feel better than I did when I was 25! So amazing. crazy how doctors never want to find the root cause of issues and resolve them…
Keep at it!
"Do that everyday, no back pain ever." True story.
Agreed. Post back surgery. This is a life changer. I can’t watch without hearing those words at the end.
best way to end an exercise!.... to keep the faith
I have a smaller sample size but I recently pulled a muscle in my lower back, hampering my mobility a bit. Have done this everyday for the past 4-5 days since it happened. I feel fantastic
This is my first time commenting on TH-cam. This video is a miracle. I had acute pain from three different injuries: thoracic spine herniated disc, probable torn meniscus and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. I could barely walk up and down stairs and every step I took was extremely painful. My knee was clicking constantly and very unstable. I did this video for the first time 6 days ago thinking it might help my back and continued daily. After the first day, the back pain was reduced by 90%. Second day, the back pain was gone. Third day, I noticed to my surprise that my knee was feeling a little better. By the fourth day, I could get up and down the stairs quickly and without pain. The ankle and knee pain have reduced by 90%! I never had to use the expensive NSAID prescription I picked up. It’s been days since I even had to take Aleve. I went from feeling depressed and demoralized to feeling empowered and hopeful again! Thank you Dr. Goldman! You’re a blessing!

Chiropractors are a leech on society fucking hacks just crack your back. It's a muscular problem
@@Cheesusrice69222 They really are. Absolute hacks, unless you go to a special one like gonstead chiropractors. That being said, osteopaths are significantly better.
Spent 2 years suffering with back pain and sciatica . After 9 months of lost hope I gave into the surgery..recurrence after weeks with upping physical activity. Really encouraging to find this video and have just given it a try for the first time.. thank you and I pray this helps with all the good reviews❤️
This video has helped me every day for the last 10 years + twice a day for the past 4 years: Over 5,000 times. It is my only relief from chronic lower back pain (plus cutting sugar). THANK YOU!
That’s exactly how to use it.
Saw this on tik tok this morning….im absolutely convinced I released some trauma while doing this. I burst out in tears and kept pushing through. After my tears I immediately felt like a new person ! Thank you
Omg I can relate!!! Didn’t cry right after the video but I was able to process so much emotional stuff this week that I had a good cry too!
Is this some kind of joke? WTF
Probably not a joke! Psychological trauma has physical consequences, and physical movement and exercise has implications for trauma recovery. Read pretty much any book on ptsd published in the last 20 years, and they’ll cover this. Weird but true!
@@todossomosanimales I've felt some emotion after super intense physical activity, and usually when it involved finishing a goal (such as the end of a thru-hike). I don't get it coming from a 12 minute stretch, but I also do not have any psychological trauma.
Who’s here in 2024?
Every 2nd day. I alternate between this one and the new one
been here since 2019
Unfortunately me. There needs to be a 7 minute workout. The 3 isn't enough and the 12 is too hard for a fat guy
I’m a mountain bike racer and I came here in 2020 because of issues and I’ve stayed here for maintenance. When I’m 2-3x per week I don’t have issues and when I stop doing it I end up coming back due to issues. So here I am haha
Found the routine on Reddit back in 2016. I’ve been doing it weekly ever since.
Fighting back injury since the age of 20. Literally 100's of chiropractor and physio sessions and 4 years later with marginal long-term progress, I found this video through reddit. After two months, the change was astounding, the daily pain I felt is gone, I'm now doing this twice a week, I stand taller and feel so much healthier. Thanks.
+Jake Taylor been there, 20 yrs of it. this stuff has made life and pain manageable alongside a clean diet.
I found this on reddit too
@@istandoncorners I just found it on reddit, gonna start doing this starting today. I'm really curious for the results because of all the comments on this video. Finger crossed! And bless reddit.
@@TrapShot94how’d it go
@@caleb1675 Did it a few times, than stopped doing it because I get lazy, especially when I don't feel much backpain. This video has been on my mind when I had pain though, but I didn't try it again.
Anyway, I think it is helpful and it's also harder than it looks. If you're experiencing pain, it will definitely help you at least.
Please don't ever take this video down. This has been a lifesaver for my lower back! I've had years of chronic back pain and from the first time I did this routine I felt relief. I had tried everything over the years and nothing and I mean nothing has helped the way this foundation training has.
Download it to be sure. I always have it on my computer to be save. You never know, one day it may be removed or internet is gone for whatever reason.
@@jesusisking8502 How do I do that?
@@josephinpdx Look up a youtube downloader and paste the link the to video in it
This changed my life. I know I’ve already posted on here but yes I’m here 2024 and I’m grateful for your help doc. God bless you
It felt like I was heading for a wheelchair as my back pain continued to progress over the years. Spent $$$$$ on doctors and chiropractors. They could not find anything and the exercise they gave did not help. A friend recommended yet another chiropractor who told me about this video. This video has been unbelievably helpful for my back pain. You have to put in the work though. If this exercise is done diligently you will see results within a week if not earlier. I was so desperate for relief that I started doing the exercises twice a day for the first week. Couldn't be happier.
I’m on my second week of doing this every day. Sometimes twice per day. All the issues with my lower back are completely gone and that weird pain in my knee is also gone. Thanks to AJ Cantazaro for introducing this to me. When you’re in your 50s and still race dirt bikes. Regimens like this are a necessity. This is the best one I have applied and received results so quickly. I don’t see me stopping doing this every day.
I sit at my computer a lot and I developed this lower-back pain for a couple of years and someone on reddit recommended this training. I cannot say how disappointed I am in myself for not trying it when I first saw it some year ago. I did it for only a couple of weeks (once every 2 days) and already feel a change!! Don't have the words to thank Dr. Eric and my reddit friend!
I have been dealing with lower back pain for probably 5-6 years now, going to physio never really helped me. I would tweak my back every month or so and be out for 1-2 weeks. Got tired of the constant back pain and the Reddit gods showed me this video. I have been doing it just for 2 days in a row now and already feel relief that I haven’t felt in years. I will continue to do this as many times a week as I can! Thank you
I figured out why this works so well. It condenses a days worth of pain and struggling into 12 minutes. It is tough to get through, but there's no pain left over for the rest of the day.
my knees are on fire right now - but yes back feels so much better...
My sincerest gratitude to you, Dr. Goodman, for producing these videos! Following these exercises several times weekly for the past 7+ years has fixed my lower back pain. “No back pain ever” is not an overstatement. This stuff works! 😊
Cheers,
Kevin
I am a 28 year old female who got a diagnoses of a herniated L4/5, scoliosis (thoracic rotation to the left), and spina bifida occulta in my L5 when I got an MRI and x-rays from a chiropractor in September. Back pain was preventing me from doing my job as an environmental scientist, the chronic pain was depressing me, my relationship with my significant other suffered (and ended), and I couldn't lead the active lifestyle I once led because of this pain. After going to a great chiropractor, discovering feldenkrais, then having that feldendrais practioner mention Foundation Training, I have greatly reduced back pain and discomfort! I have done this video for a little over two weeks now and I can tell the days I don't do it because my back and hip muscles that were inhibited so long from the herniated disc bother me. I am so thankful for this training. It has changed my life, given me another tool in my toolbelt of healing, and I have been sharing this workout with family and friends excessively! Thank you so much Dr. Goodman!
Lindsay Martindale how you doing now?
Eric, i promise this is getting me through this pandemic. Losing friends, losing job, fear and lonliness... because of these and other FT videos, i'm actually stronger than when this shite started. Please please keep this video and others up, please. Thank you.
Best of luck to you!
As someone who herniated 2 discs 10 years ago, back in 2014. And has struggled with sciatica and back pain ever since. I had a big flare up recently and through Reddit, I found this video. Day one for me, was yesterday.
I couldn’t complete the whole thing but did what I could. I’ve obviously got some weak areas so I’ll keep at.
Even today, the pain has already started to subside.
how its going now? hope you are better
After decades of SI joint pain, chiropractors, massage, PT, magic potions, it was this video that fixed it!! Thank you!!
Hello im currently also suffering from si pain for about 5 years was wondering how long should i expect it to help
@@tank7162 did it help
Been doing that for 2 weeks now.
Multiple Osteoarthritis, fibromylagia, surgery on a knee one year ago... didn't think i could find an exercise that is quick and efficient.
When i do the exercise i'm thinking i will die. Each time. But when it is over i feel so good !!! Back pain : less and less. Posture : changing and i take more care of it all day long.
If i can do it at 41 with all the chronic pains i have, i'm sure many people who don't think they can, could do that.
Try it, it is only 14mn and OMG it works !
This video has massively helped me in so many ways. I work as a gardener, so my back gets a good workout every day and often feels sore after some jobs. Doing this video each morning has eliminated ALL issues Ive ever had in this area, and it's also massively improved other areas of my life such as back squatting and DL in the gym, and overall flexibility day to day.
This genuinely works if you have back issues. I’ve had this niggling soreness in my back for years, but this workout has completely banished it. Thank you so much!
This is the best video I've ever seen in my life. For many years I lived like I couldn't do simple things and would, because of scoliosis, stand up only to feel tired and feel my body weight slump from side to side trying to fall away from me, pulling me down to the ground. Every time I stood up, all I wanted to do was sit down. It was awful and I didn't know why it was happening.
Thankfully, I found this video through a chiropractor, and ever since I have been taking steps towards living a normal life.
I remember being able to put my hands on my back to feel my spine curve into my right shoulder blade and left lower back. After a few good times of doing this workout, to my amazement, I felt the curvature drastically decrease. My spine didn't bump into my shoulder blade anymore.
Now, around 2-3 years later, I feel that I can stand with comfort. Sometimes discomfort does creep back on me, but then all I have to do is push through a 12 minute workout and, once again, I'm feeling like a human being again. I cannot up-play the severity of that statement enough, I can live life because of FT.
Thank you Dr. Goodman, and everyone associated with Foundation Training. You guys really are lifesavers, life changers, and honestly providing this world with something that in my personal opinion is nothing short of miraculous. If I ever become the next Michelangelo in sculpting marble statues, I will make sure you guys all get one of yourselves put in a nice park somewhere.
Having also overcome a [physiological disability with similar strategies to this video I know how deeply you mean the words that you have written. Life-changing. Cannot be overstated.
I have mild scoliosis and I heard you can twist your spine. Is that true?
I was on my last straw with back pain. I told my doctor I would do anything to help with the pain!! He sent me to a back assessment clinic where they prescribed this video and hip flexor massages. It changed my life!!
12 years later I was directed here. At 26 severely strained my labrum. Will be doing this every day and update you all.
How’s it going for you?
how's it going my man
These exercises absolutely work there’s definitely a reason people still use this today. The tough part is doing it every day consistently I think that’s the biggest struggle.
I just found this video through a friend. I have been suffering from constant back pain for the last 2+ years. Have tried many things, spent a lot of dollars. But doing this for the last 5 days has brought such joy to my life… I am starting to feel again what life is like without constant back pain. LOVE YOU, Dr. Goodman… this is a great service you have done for humanity. I will definitely buy the book as a token of my appreciation. THANK YOU!!
Back injury at 15, was suggested this video in my early 20's, helped loads! Forgot about video, diagnosed with DDD (degenerative disk disease) a few years ago, thought my life was over. I no longer felt as though I could be strong and helpful, but I was weak and needed help. Very humbling. Been weight training and keeping on top of my core strength, and had almost no pain! Now I am 6 months pregnant at 29 years old, and had stabbing hip pain that kept me from sleeping last night. I will start doing this workout daily again, and report back how it helps!
Doctors will give you pills and say you need surgery, but most of the time I have seen or experienced working on your health and your core, some strength training, and just walking will take care of even the most depressing cases! Have hope!
God is good in all circumstances!
Thank you for reading my life story :)
Finally got to it, and my belly only got in the way a little bit!
And wow, very hard static holds! I don’t remember it being this hard 😆
I do this routine several times a week, and 45 minutes of walking daily. I am in zero pain!
Over two months post partum, and my back is really giving me trouble. I had a hard recovery and didn’t exercise at all for over a month.
Pain now from picking the baby up and down so much.
Did this video and immediately felt better. Will be starting to do it every day again.
Nice to read your story! How long did it take you to feel better after doing this training?
@@bluefate543 some immediate relief, and more and more as I do it.
Figured this video has changed my life so much, that I feel like I also need to share in the comments just that it has - cause it's been so funny that this video was given to me in 2016 with a friend saying it will change my life and back. He was right, and now I sound like a religious fanatic. But it's the most fun thing ever to share this with friends with back issues and watch them go 😧. So here's me adding my comment saying this is literally the best 12min back exercise video on the internet.
A friend showed me this and I started doing it a month ago, from chronic back pain and injuries to consistently upping my weights with dead lifts and no morning back stiffness. So happy I found this.
I was looking at getting surgery and This video healed my back
God bless you and your ministry man and you have no idea how much of a blessing this video has been for me and my family
Hey Sam, thats a very general statement regarding Anterior Pelvic Tilt which can be experienced in a variety of ways. The easiest way to support APT is to strengthen the Adductor, Iliacus and Transverse abdominal muscles. To do that during the exercises simply squeeze your heels towards each other without any movement, just tension. Also, every time you exhale from a breath, pull your stomach back off of your waist band.
I've seen this improve thousands of APT processes. It works, be patient.
I don't get what he means by "pull your stomach back off of your waist band" do I do it outwards or inwards? Also, knees will bend if y press my heels towards each other right?
Facundo Tabárez pull your stomach in as u exhale. Make sure u get all the air out. You’ll def feel more core activation. And the knees will bend slightly when pressing the heels together. Just don’t bend them TOO much
I prayed for help to end my chronic back pain… and this video is the answer to that prayer. Thank you.
I bought Dr. Goodman's book and also joined the Foundation Training connection but this video has been BY FAR the most instantly effective. It literally fixed my back pain (I've suffered with mild lower back pain / sciatica for three years) in ONE DAY. I do this video every day and the pain has not returned.
Almost 8M views is no surprise. Been Doing this 1st thing everyday for about 9 mos. It is Magic for my 62 y.o. spine. “No back pain ever” since. Thanks Eric! You rock
I've been doing this for a couple of days, it put a lot of pressure on my knees does it hurt the knees in the long-term time frame?
Dr. Goodman deserves a medal. 20 years of back pain, 6 chiropractor s , found Dr. Goodman through my chiropractor who studied chiropractic with him and told me he developed a system to help himself because of his back called the founder... "Look it up and see if it helps" that was about 10 years ago. If anyone asked me about back pain I become a doctor Goodman evangelist. I still fall into back pain... Guess why? I stop my foundation training... It's only 5-10 minutes a day... But out of pain, and out of sight I guess... Someone just asked me about back pain and I gave him the girl with the chair video and a few other videos culminating in this one... And I just did it myself..👍🏽
I have now been doing this 12 min. FT training video for 5 years. I'm 66 years young and I truly believe it has helped me immensely. I play golf and it is imperative that my gluts are strong and my back can hold up to the force that allows me to deliver maximum velocity. I am grateful for Eric's depth of knowlege.
My chiropractor referred this video/website to me and it has changed my life! (Yes, my chiropractor cares more about his patients than he does money and he was concerned that I was seeing him so frequently and suggested I try this video out.) I have a hereditary curve in my spine between my shoulder blades that causes chronic pain. After I started doing these exercises, just like Eric says, my back pain went away. I am a mom of 2 toddlers and am now pregnant with a third baby and the back pain has started to come back. I've started doing these exercises again at 25 weeks pregnant and while I don't do as many reps as he says because I'm moving a little slower with this extra weight on me, it still transforms my posture and has helped me tremendously to manage my back pain this pregnancy. These exercises have also reduced my need to see a chiropractor and as long as I'm doing them regularly, I don't need to see one!
Thanks for your love and support, it's been a wonderful feeling playing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I'll like we get along and stay in touch. Where are you streaming from?
Been here since 2013 and these guys never age
"Oh those guys make this look easy."
Paused the video 5 times just to catch my breath. Just finished and I'm covered in sweat
I'm a survivor of a blown L5/S1 disc and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete/competitor. I was referred to this video by a fellow BJJ guy. I have done everything (chiro, yoga, PT). I lift 2x a week and train BJJ 2x a week. I only just did this series for the first time last night, but I was shocked at two things:
1. How challenging it was, considering I deadlift/squat regularly and I am by no means low on muscle.
2. How amazing my entire back felt when I was done. Sure it was hard and I felt a lot of that good burn you get when you deadlift...but the feeling of my back being very loose and moving easily was shocking in its intensity.
I am absolutely going to be doing this sequence every day for the next 30-60 days and I will gladly post another review with my long term findings.
If this is able to reduce my pain and increase my mobility, it will be a gift to me beyond measure.
parabellum9x19 keep at it, as often as possible. it may give you more than you can imagine.
Foundation Training Dr. Goodman, this may be the wrong place to ask you this, but I've been researching how to increase shoulder mobility and correct thoracic kyphosis. I understand that foundation training focuses primarily on the core of the body and proper hinging, so I was wondering how much of affect it has on the upper body or if you have any exercises that, more directly, target these areas. Thank you.
How did it go?
A month later, how do you feel?
Alexander Andreassen So I've been doing this as part of my daily routine for about a month now and so far I feel good. It has not been a miracle cure, because the plain truth is that I am living with about 1/2 of a disc between L5 and S1, and that is something that no form of strength training is going to repair.
But I do feel that this exercise helps. It activates my lower spinal erectors, piriformis muscles, and my glutes and hamstrings. I think that this is a nice addition to my current lifting routine.
I normally don’t comment on videos but this is GOLD! I’m a semi professional Olympic weightlifter, and every year I’ve been dealing with back pain episodes. I was having another back pain episode since January, could barely deadlift 40 kg without pain(I used to do 130 kg for reps) and sometimes I get pain even resting in bed. After a looooot of AINS, stretching, core work and some other strength exercises it was getting a bit better but still can’t deadlift and so I found this video!! Today is my first day trying this routine and all I can say is that I was suffering while doing it🥲 but afterwards I felt amazing! I’m going to do this everyday!! When I’ll start deadlifting again, I’ll reply this coment on how’s going!! Thank you so much!
How's it going?
Any update bro?
Wow, that was harder than expected…I am sweatin’! I was given this video to do by my chiropractor today as my lower back pain has increased majorly these past couple weeks (I’ve always had lower back pain but it’s been excruciating lately). I KNEW it was due to my weak core! After reading all the comments I’m super hopeful that this is going to help! Once a day…12 mins….I’ve got this!!
You got it!!
How'd it go?
Hi Sarah ☺️ I've been looking for a woman in the comments who is doing this routine to ask if you were able to do the whole thing beginning to end the first time and what shape you were in. Have you kept up with doing this?
This video has saved me as an ICU worker on my feet all day. I've recommended it to no less than 50 people. Thanks brother!
My husband has been dealing with chronic back pain, and as an active 24 year old it was especially mentally and physically demanding. He started doing these and IMMEDIATELY felt a different on the first day. Will keep doing these forever and ever!
How is it doing right now?
This is, the absolute best, back/core training I've ever done.
I love that the more you do it (and I've been doing this 15 min workout for 7 months),
the harder it can get - as you focus on your form.
After just a few sessions of this I decided that it's a life goal to travel to the U.S. to enroll in the Trainers' course. I'd like to be an accredited instructor.
Thank you Dr. Goodman, you're a legend of note!
I do not comment often. That said thank you so much for this video. I am an office worker with bad posture habits. This past year has been havoc for my legs/lower back/ anxiety you name it. I have been working to correct these issues for the past 1-1.5 years. This is the best video I've seen/implemented for fixing my leg issues. I feel like a human being again. I have been doing this for 2 weeks and for the first time was able to complete the stretches without stopping! Thank you, it's helped more than you will ever know.
I'm an active 73 year old female, retired RN with scoliosis 50 degree cob angle lumbar region, spondylolisthesis L3-L4. 24/7 pain - unable to walk 100 feet without heat to back for last 6 months in spite of steroidal injections & a month of PT. One local CA spine surgeon wanted to do rods & screws up the length of my back. Cleveland Clinic spine surgeon wanted to do decompression & fixation of spondy. Third local CA spine surgeon said NOPE - PT w/a specialist in back abnormalities. 8 sessions later PT gives me FOUNDATION TRAINING you tube channel. Last night after first session i thought i might have screwed up something. Heat to back for 2 hrs. Slept great. No pain this morning. Did foundation training today & I am totally sold. This should be a paid subscription (glad its not) & part of every PT office routine. This stuff is worth a million dollars!!! THANK YOU I'll be glad to do your marketing for you!!!!!
We have a subscription app that goes way more into detail and offers hundreds of routines
All the comments on this video are so wholesome and lovely, so here's another one. This exercise is basically magic. It's 12 minutes of agony, but afterwards you feel amazing and like you can do anything. My sister and brother-in-law do this video every day too and I've seen a noticeable improvement in their posture, especially on their mountain bikes. Highly highly recommend!
Are you pretty fit? Or did you start doing this routine coming from not really exercising? I just discovered this video now and am wondering if I should attempt it or if I need to get stronger first......
@@ColetteO_ I've never done much exercising either. Still don't, though I'm trying to get better at it, lol. I would recommend this routine even if you aren't exercising regularly. It's not labor intensive and mostly focuses on stretching and strengthening your lower back. If you find it hard the first couple times, you're not alone. But I am happy to inform you that it will get easier with practice. That is the magic of stretching in general. Hope this helps. :)
Most of my life I've noticed issues with my low back pain and as time passed the pain got worse plus sciatic nerve pain too. I've been doing this video everyday for a couple of weeks now. I've noticed a HUGE reduction in pain and I'm able to walk longer and longer without pain. I also couple this with the mcgill big 3 and physio on top of that. I thought I would have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. I'm so grateful for this video!
Used to have chronic lower back pain. After around 2 years of doing this daily, I can confirm it not only eliminated my lower back pain, I can also lift and haul heavy luggage around on trains, planes, trams while traveling with no problem. Even went horseback riding with no back pain the next day! Thank you!
A friend of mine was close to giving up his physical job due to back pain when he found this video and it saved his back and career that he loved. He recommended it to me and having suffered lower back pain since in my teens and surgery in my thirties, I can say that this exercise routine is the only thing that keeps my back pain free.
Eric, you are a genius, thank you so much🙏🙏🙏🙏
Holy @#$&*)(*. Just finished it for my first time, what a nightmare. I have always been a fairly high level athlete, but have always suffered from low back pain. This workout was amazing, one of the first times I actually felt like I was USING my lower back, not just destroying it. I hope this really does help!
Did this help you bro?
@@keljerel it does help a lot, I'm fairly young and have extreme back pain, this video is the shit. Do it every morning, no back pain for ever. Trust me.
Similar. I’m a pretty competitive triathlete and this workout has made my back so much stronger. And, as Eric says, it also improves your swim stroke!
@@keljerel Yes it really has! I could go on and on about how I can squat, deadlift, etc. now with no pain. But the real impressive thing is I can sit for more than 5 minutes!
@@thor-grey Did you find yourself having to take some small breaks the first time you did this shit? I’m a pretty decent runner and athlete but damn. Currently trying to recover from mild sciatica from deadlifting and running a lot. Mines more in my piriformis
I had lower back pain that was not debilitating but it was bothering me, mainly at night. Saw a physiotherapist for a few month, did all the exercises he taught me every day, it did not improve much. My new doctor recommended this video and I can't thank him enough. After a week doing it every day, the pain was gone. I now do it 3-4 times a week and I'm still fine, even at night. I also do good mornings whenever I have a couple minutes.
Ive just done this for my 1st time and I feel like I've finally found something that will really actually work this time!- and only in a short time each day- Greetings from Alaska
Been IN DAILY pain for 3 years because of bulged disk and the pain is completetly gone after a week of this. I cannot do the whole thing yet but it's life changing. 10 mn of condensat pain so you don't suffer the rest of the day.
1 month later, if I keep doing this daily my backpain is gone. If I stop it comes back after a couple of days. Good luck with the back pain and regularity is what is paying off.
Hello, any update? I've a small bulging disc too and started this routine 4 days ago. I overall feel good w little discomfort (trembling legs, little twinges in my lower back and glutes) was this normal for you? I'm thankfully not in pain but unsure if I'm making things worse or not 😢
@@Ae0nflux6 yes I have the same issue. Doing this daily reduce pain for like 90% to 100%. If I skip a training the pain is back. It's still so much worth it to me. I do this after my morning coffee and this training also serve as a meditation session to reconnect with myself.
@@fa1ceThank you so much for getting back to me! This is so reassuring to me!
@fa1ce would you say you're 100% pain free now? Do you do any other routines or work outs?
