Thank you for the wonderful comments! I really appreciate the support and will try to respond to each one of you individually as soon as possible. Let me know if you've tried this strategy and how it goes!
Hi, just found your videos. I love them considering signing up for your program. I have seven herniated discs to in the neck and the rest in the lower back plus degenerative disc, moderate to severe as well as spinal stenosis, lower back my hips, however, do not rotate forword as you described. Instead, they rotate in. My butt moves forward not backward, wondering what your thoughts are on this since it doesn’t fit the profile you described. Thank you so much.
I have already lost a lot of the curve in my lordosis spine area. If I walk with my pelvis forward that is flattening out my back even more! Is that good? It seems to me I need to try to put the curved back in my low back!?
Am did followed some of the exercises, it's wonderful and effectively. For doctor info, since found that am was Lumbar Spinal injuries I took Neurobion for the numbness and Pergabalin Rewisca 50mg for nerve pains. Any side effect when taking long terms of both tablets.
This is pretty wild - I suffer from stenosis, and recently I have experimented with tightening my abdominal muscles while walking. It is less painful, and my walk is more balanced. If I don’t tighten my abdominal muscles, I tend to lurch over to the left. This video is a confirmation to my little experiment, and I am so glad to watch this. I would suggest either eliminating the background music, or turning it way down, I find it extremely irritating, which is too bad, because the doctor is a really nice guy and has a lot of valuable things to say.
I've been doing the same thing, tightening my abs, and it makes a real difference. It has encouraged me lose some weight and work on exercising to strengthen my core muscles.
I am living in the United States, my name is Ling. I found this video accidentally and it saved me😂 Seven years ago, I injured my left hip bone due to rope skipping and developed sciatica. Even walking is difficult, and MRI also shows L4 , L5 spinal stenosis..., I am already disappointed with life. 😰 I was originally a piano teacher, but because my right foot has to step on the pedal, I don’t even dare to play the piano! I started walking the way you did this week, and it was much easier. You made me look a lot younger! In my mind you are qualified to be a Nobel Prize winner, thank you again👍👏🌈
When I had spondylolithesis over 10 years ago, I owe my healing to pool therapy!! I can’t stress enough how this helped over physical therapy! Sadly, pools are not available in most places! My cause was a damaged vertebrate. However, I owe my healing to the pool therapy! I have had little to no spinal pain. I do use a strong spinal wrap on occasion, as it’s important to protect the area. I keep you all who suffer in my thoughts! And pray that you find the help you need.
I changed my walking after watching this video and the difference is night and day!! After all the doctors, chiropractors and massage therapists I’ve gone to; no one has ever taught me this simple technique! I cannot thank you enough! It’s been life changing! Can you make a video on how to carry things like a laundry basket where you need to lean something into pelvis or do basic normal things like bending over to clean a toilet? That would be amazing!
Thank you for sharing @quantumgirl and I hope this inspires others to try it as well! Absolutely, I will do a video on doing activities that require bending down, as well as one on carrying big or heavy objects very soon!
I just knew somehow if I kept searching finally help would come, if only an explanation for why I’ve been in pain for over 20 years. I started walking over a month ago and could only do for about 5 min, so I would sit, then go again. I started doing my hips like that just because I could go further, but then here comes my knees, so I stopped thinking I’ll just be in pain until I die, but then I find you. Thank you. You’ve helped with this more than you will ever know by explaining and giving hope, that once I get my knees back on track to just continue and that I was on the right track just walking. Thank you, thank you.🙏❤️
Thank you so much for this, many of us seniors are unable to pay for physiotherapy and depend on professionals like you for simple but wise advice on how to help our bodies. Gratitude and respect.
You are the best! Why aren't Dr's helping us understand our bodies the way you do? I'm so happy you're here. My body is out of alignment and I love walking as it soothes the aches. I instinctively started tucking my tailbone in while walking but didn't understand why until I saw your video! Thank you!!! Pleeeease keep this great content coming. I am a big fan!
Hi Jack, Thank you so much for being here. Your feedback means so much to me! I love to read about your improvements in the program. I hope you are feeling better than ever!
I have lateral spinal stenosis with the nerve pinched at L5, diagnosed with a MRI. I have been suffering with this for 3 years. I have had many physio sessions, done numerous physio exercises I learned of on TH-cam, have been for 3 treatments at a pain clinic including epidurals. Nothing has worked until I watched your video. I have started using your technique of pubic bone forward and have practicing this for about 2 weeks. What a difference it has made! I wish I had learned this a few years ago. Thank you so much!!
Hi Larry, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're truly grateful to hear that our video has made a difference for you and that you've found relief through our techniques. It's so happy to know that our content has had a positive impact on your journey with lateral spinal stenosis. Your comment means a lot to us, and we're honored to have been able to help!
Another one in your series of most amazing clips - plus the 500-mile walk across Europe was simply sensational!!! Such a great mix of technical data, rare to find animations of anterior tilt and the reversal correction🌺 Dr Ryan, you're simply the best! Thank you😌✨️😊
Ryan, I am so thankful for finding your program on a Facebook ad. One of my goals is to get back walking and this was very encouraging to me as I am in my 5th-6th week with the courses. I’ve had consistent back issues for 3.5 years and I look forward to my daily emails with the 5 minute video for each exercise and truly believe I am heading in the right direction. My issue sometimes is getting my breathing to properly go along with each exercise. I’m working on that too. Keep up the work you are doing. It’s helping me.
Love your podcast, I had surgery 2 years ago, I walk a treadmill in my house. When I walk out side I use ski poles/walking sticks, no hip pain and it helps build care. Have rods and screws lumbar, trying to avoid any other surgery. Have spinal stenosis, I will be 70 next year.
Thank you Dr Ryan! I recently had Lumbar Laminectomy surgery, so now I'm trying to learn how to walk/run correctly again. Ten years ago I exchanged running for cycling, but I would like to run again. This video gives me hope!
Thank you so much for sharing! We're so happy to that this video gives you hope. Wishing you a smooth journey as you work towards walking and running again! 💙
Great presentation and gives me hope I can live without pain. Please eliminate the background noise (music) though. It's very distracting - I'm ADD and have trouble concentrating on your talking.
I have both of these plus 1 more, Stenosis, Spondy & Scoliosis and age 70 is a few months away, pain almost everyday, yet still running my auto shop everyday for the past 42 years but soon to retire from the everyday pain. Going to start your program now, hopefully it helps by rotating the hip + walking so I can continue to Bowl competitively & play dart tournaments. THANKS! Joe
Starting this today! Just found your channel. I don’t know why it popped up but, subscribed and going to do my best to follow your advice. I have compound problems! I have auto immune psoriatic arthritis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, which started in my lower back and doctor said now is in my neck. I’m allergic to all the “pain killers “. So I’m constantly in pain! When I attempt to tighten my abdominal muscles they do shake after a minute but I am going to keep trying 😅after all Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’m a female 71 year old and I don’t want to end my days in a wheelchair! Walker is bad enough but only way I can get around. What you’re saying makes good horse-sense to me !! So thank you
Thank you for sharing your situation and for being a part of our community! We're glad you found our channel. If you're looking for another approach to addressing any concerns related to arthritis, scoliosis, stenosis or lower back pain, please let us know. We offer a free trial of the first week of our program, and many students have reported significant relief within that time frame. We'd be more than happy to help you on your journey to pain relief and recovery!
Thankyoy for a very informative video. I had spinal decompression surgery on L4_5 and L3-4 four months ago and am learning to enjoy walking again. I had noticed after about half a mile it gets easier, now I understand why. I am excited to try this today.
I watched the video, I use to be in agonizing pain just walking from living room to bathroom, 20 feet at most. I walked the way you said, and I was able to go to restroom without pain, I have lumbar stenosis and I had almost given up completely. God bless you for your help.
My first intro to your instruction, and I was able to receive noticeable relief of pain while walking and tightening my abdominal muscles this evening. Even a sense of improved balance. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Dr. Ryan for sharing this information as it gives so much encouragement and support. I do a 1.5 to 2 miles walk 4/5 times a week. I will admit it is challenging as I find myself being pushed forward by the severe stenosis. I try to keep connected to my anchors and keeping the pubic bone forward will help to achieve that. I am definitely going to work on this and hopefully it will make walking more pleasant. I love the back anchor challenge and progression as it helps me so much. Keep up the great work.
Hi Mary, Thank you so much for being here! Walking is excellent for your body and even though it is challenging, it is the best movement for your body with core connection being your focus. Thank you for your feedback on the program, I am so glad you are here!
In the weekly live broadcast today he mentioned to walk with pubic bone forward to help stop sciatica which I have with si joint pain and it helped both.
This works! I have been in pain for 8 yrs and today I found your video and tried this most of the day. What a difference, I can walk and can tell this will keep working, just need to build those muscles!
I think the content of what you’re saying is probably great - I’m super distracted by the Muzak playing through it all though! Just a note, thank you for making this.
Excellent Explanation.. would appreciate a detailed video on Cervical Issues like disc degeneration, bulge, stenosis, spondolytis and best options for exercises, treatment
THANK YOU I have only now found your video today and all your teachings make so much sense I have been struggling to walk for over 2yrs now and waiting for back surgery but I will most definitely be trying to do the exercises you recommended and following your videos.
Very informative and effectively explained. The background music was very distracting and competes with your very important presentation. You are enough.
I’m so Thankful I found your TH-cam,, I have binge watch so many of your videos,, I totally relate to your back stories, Thank you for your advice, it’s helping me so much
Thank you, I have sport hernia and lower back pain, I was running pain free until I started doing some stretching a few months ago then my pain started, i stopped the stretching, now trying to reverse the damages I did , your videos are very informative and helpful, thank you keep them coming . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi HS, thank you for sharing your situation with us. We're sorry to hear about your struggles with sport hernia and lower back pain. We're so happy to know that our videos are providing helpful information for your journey. Wishing you a smooth recovery, and we'll certainly keep the videos coming! 😊
Thank You for this. You give me hope. I am 55 and used to be very athletic. I had years of my sacrum being locked forward before finding the issue maybe since childhood. With all the nerve paint associated with this I have put on excessive weight and have spondy and stenosis. I have given up most of the things I enjoy. I like what you said about that is the whole point of this. I am hoping this can inspire me. When my back is not lined up properly a walk shoots pain down my legs and causes inflammation for several weeks. If I can get to a feeling of looseness a walk does seem to really help. Would love to get some more thoughts about my particular situation.
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
I have severe foraminal stenosis at L5-s1. I can walk about 50 steps and then I have to get on the ground and unpinch the nerve. You are the first person who's suggested a technique to avoid the pain. I will try it
I was in a car accident, in 2002, which caused my stenosis. Sitting was the worse thing I could do. I had chronic lower back pain, for 20 years. Then I walked 50 miles per month, for 3 months. My back pain went away, which was miraculous for me. The problem I have now tho, is addiction to gabapentin, which I shouldn't need so much now. But this isn't as bad as 20 years of back pain. I also would like to start doing yoga exercises again, that I quit doing. They are designed, to create flexibility in the spine.
The pelvis should pivot back and forth while walking, but the video walker does not move it at all. I see a lot of people walk this way - only moving the legs. Rocking the pelvis shifts the weight from one foot to the other while pushing the body forward. The pubic bone pushes forward when the leg swings forward and swings back when the weight transfers to that foot. This gentle swinging restores and maintains flexibility in the spine. Try walking both ways and feel the difference.
Thanks for your video. Although I don’t fully understand it, walking seems better. Health is priceless. Next week we will go to iPhone to do finance and thank you.
Thank you for the info it helps a lot I have been suffering fr lumbar stenosis for 2 yrs now PT helps a lot but insurance pays only so much sessions thank you for fb posting this info
Thank you... Very helpful! I watched you first time yesterday (flexors imbalance), and did my first 15 min. today... Warmed up, took a pill, put that pubic bone forward, pulled-in the abs, found some gait, and off to the grocer's. Walked back with the bag bumping on my bum. It felt like massage. Tomorrow I'm doing this video. 👍to me, 😘to you, I'm 65 😁
I have an upright walker and extending my arms far forward I can engage the core very well. Great for lunges too. I have severe cervical, spondylethesis, lower lumbar stenosis, sciatica, neuropathy.
I am very glad I come across your videos. I have degenerative disk , stenosis, and anterolisthesis with mild scoliosis. Ironically my job requires me to be on my feet 7 out of 8 hours. I have tried your recommendations on how to sit and have noticed an improvement in the tension in my back. I signed up for your program. Do you have any recommendations for a back brace or should that be avoided? Some days I can barely walk when I leave work.
Hi Thanks for the video . Could you clarify .. HOW YOU BRING IT FORWARD IN ACTUALITY… You mean the stomach muscles need to be tightened forward?… as a natural process while walking ? Appreciate your clarification Thanks Dharam
Thanks again Ryan, you’ve been such a big help for me! It’s raining tonight and I’m not able to get my walk, so I’m currently, yes, on the floor! Stretching and feeling better already! *Edit: it stopped raining late and I got my 2 mile walk in before bedtime anyway!! 👊👊
i LOVED this video at the moment of "Spondy" discussion - the hope of Spondy treatment being successful is simply beautiful to see/hear. thank you so much. I am a wee bit confused as to how i can make the walking movement (pelvis) - i would like to see this on a human - maybe you have other videos? Cheers!
Thank you for sharing and the kind words, hope and belief are huge factors in getting out of this! I do have plenty more videos on the TH-cam channel, but the best place to learn how to develop the core connection and feeling for bringing the pubic bone forward is in the program. It's tough because it's definitely more of a feeling than something you can put into words, and so we go through a systematic process of modeling after infant/baby development. There is a free trial so you can actually experience it and see if it works for you. We start with the Back Anchor in the first week, and then the pubic bone anchor is in the second week.
Yes, I, too, would like to see this in a human demonstrating it or the doctor therapist to show how please, and i don't quite understand what is stenosis what cause it
Also walked The Camino 100 kilometers for the beautiful certificate from Portugal to Spain. I used a fanny pack for back support. Luggage Mule Service NO BACKPACK. Thank you.Now I swim but will start walking again and floor exercises.Please do segment onCamino. Im planning trip to Peru.
I found out about anterior pelvic tilt about 4 year ago when trying resolve my bilateral sciatica. 2 back surgeon said it was not the cause, i have always had a deep scalloped lumbar back. Neither of these were the cause. Surgery fixed the sciatica overnight. Wished i had not wasted 4 years on chiro, osteo and physio.
As a professional musician in a symphony orchestra for 42 years, sitting has been my life as well as the compression and twisting involved with playing viola. My lower spine is a mess.
Hi Dr., I just had an mri..last one was 2015 and was sent to a surgeon who did fusion l4/5 with two cages and screws. Now 2023 have severe stenosis, facet joint arthopathy, two bulging discs, severe arthritis, a torn disc. Last year I was still walking three miles and push mowing. This winter my pain got so bad. I don’t really know what to do next. I have been on a short course prednisone for a skin condition. It helped my pain but obviously a doctor won’t give long term steroids. A doctor friend read my mri and said a lot of treatments would not work because of how much damage I have. I don’t want to get in strong pain pills. The worse thing I can do is sit. I did push mow today, but in pain now. I am doing pt on utube because my insurance does not pay all and the doctor friend said it was good to strengthen the core, but it can not cure what I have. I am so sorry you suffer too. ❤
Hi Rita, Thank you so much for sharing your history with me. I am so sorry as well to you and I really hope you get this sorted out. There is hope! Even though it has been a challenge for me to get to this point, I am so glad that I was able to create a program that has helped thousands of people who are in pain and finally feeling relief. If you want to take a look into the program, here is the link for the 7 Day Free Trial. I truly hope you give it a try and would love to hear how you like the trail if you do decide to continue. www.corebalancetraining.com/offers/2fR8V4Ev/checkout Thank you so much for being here!
Thanks for bringing upper back into this picture. I have stenosis there from being rolled wrong in or or recovery room. What can I do for that. It took two epidurals back in 2008. First one close then up a level and that nailed it at t-7.
I started the "pubic bone forward" a couple of days ago. It seems to be helping me. My SI is annoyed, but my worst symptom (leg stiffness in left quad) is the symptom that bothers me the most. My SI irritation and my quad stiffness came on about the same time six months ago. I am convinced they are related since imaging of my hip and knee have shown no abnormalities. Crossing my fingers this works because not being able to walk comfortably has really impacted my life in a negative way.
I've been watching your videos for a while now and find them very useful. Have you addressed yoga practices (pros and cons) in other videos? I'm 70 with DDD, mild stenosis, and sciatica. I've been fit my entire life thru martial arts and weights. Now I can only do "old man yoga" so I walk and ride my bike a lot. I've been doing yoga for 10 years and had a strong arm-balance practice before my diagnosis. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
It’s took me a year to get to the point of getting around normal and it was a bit to get running. It took 3-4 months but I was running 4 miles in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. I do calisthenics and kettlebells and hike and backpacking
Oh I wish I could... I walk for 15 min around the store and I am in pain from back down left leg all the way to my toes... 2 yrs now of physical therapy and only getting worse. Cannot get pain meds that help... and really don't want that.. would rather fix the problem as much as possible.. meds just bandaid that cause other health issues.
Making sure your inner heel has not collapsed downward in footwear i found was important. Aswell as a hotwater bottle on the area when its bad. Correct thoughtful walking with the foot going down properly, look at your footwear outer heels , is it even wear , there vids on this. [ if it uneven wear then you will stand uneven effecting the joints ] Correct eating can also help and losing weight. Stenosis and other back / spine pain can seem to dominate but its possible to fight back using all of the techniques mentioned by the Dr and in my comments and everyone elses . Ps : its possible to get foods that are high in collagen.. that build joint tissue . Also there are foods that can attack or irritate or even prevent the formation. As some minerals / electrolytes need vitamins to work with. Again theres videos on collagen production and types of beneficial protein to produce collagen. Cut out alcohol and sugars completely as well as reduce carbohydrates [ NB : GRADUALLY ! ]. 😮 Unfortunately its going to be mind over matter in a battle of will.
Hey Ryan. My name is Josef, i am from Israel, i am 18 years old. In israel when you get to 18 years of age you go to the army for service for 3 years so i need and want to go too but one day i went to the orthopedic and he told me i have a L5-S1 spondylolisthesis and he told me i can not go to the army and run with it i wanted to ask you, what i can do? What this problem means? How i can run? I saw so many doctors and vedieos and i understand nothing. i would love and be grateful for your honest opinion and answer, thank you Man you are the best
Josef, here is a link right to my answer to this question on the recent LIVE Q&A, just in case you missed it: th-cam.com/video/fLg3g9xA5Ag/w-d-xo.html (or in case anyone else wants to see the answer).
I have an old spondy and stenosis. An injury years ago. Had PT and chiro I have neuropathy in my feet. To add insult to injury I sat 23 yrs customer service.
I have acute pain from cervical and lumbAR STENOISIS. i BEGAN PT WHICH MADE THE CONDITION WORSE. I used to walk for miles and even di d situps and 3lb weight workout on upper body. oNE DAY I JUST COILDNT GET OUT OF BED. my right side CONTRACTED and i spent weeks trying just to get out of bed. I SAW THIS VIDEO AND DECIDED that ONCE I HAD MORE MOBILITY i wOuld go back to walking. I STARTED WALKING AGAIN FOR ABOUT A MILE AND HALF FEW TIMES A WEEK AND I AM FEELING MUCH BETTER HOWEVER, I AM ALSO IN PAIN alot. I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUt. i would benefit from some core EXERCISES WHICH WOULDNT AGGRAVATE THE CONDITION.
Thank you for the wonderful comments! I really appreciate the support and will try to respond to each one of you individually as soon as possible. Let me know if you've tried this strategy and how it goes!

How do you walk by bringing back the pubic bone forward. . Any demo ? Or is this simply your normal way of walking?
❤❤
Am did followed some of the exercises, it's wonderful and effectively.
For doctor info, since found that am was Lumbar Spinal injuries
I took Neurobion for the numbness and Pergabalin Rewisca 50mg for nerve pains.
Any side effect when taking long terms of both tablets.

Thankyoy for a very informative video. I had spinal decompression surgery on L4_5 and L3-4 four months ago and am learning to enjoy walking again. I had noticed after about half a mile it gets easier, now I understand why. I am excited to try this today.
I watched the video, I use to be in agonizing pain just walking from living room to bathroom, 20 feet at most. I walked the way you said, and I was able to go to restroom without pain, I have lumbar stenosis and I had almost given up completely. God bless you for your help.
My first intro to your instruction, and I was able to receive noticeable relief of pain while walking and tightening my abdominal muscles this evening. Even a sense of improved balance. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Dr. Ryan for sharing this information as it gives so much encouragement and support. I do a 1.5 to 2 miles walk 4/5 times a week. I will admit it is challenging as I find myself being pushed forward by the severe stenosis. I try to keep connected to my anchors and keeping the pubic bone forward will help to achieve that. I am definitely going to work on this and hopefully it will make walking more pleasant. I love the back anchor challenge and progression as it helps me so much. Keep up the great work.
Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for being here! Walking is excellent for your body and even though it is challenging, it is the best movement for your body with core connection being your focus. Thank you for your feedback on the program, I am so glad you are here!
In the weekly live broadcast today he mentioned to walk with pubic bone forward to help stop sciatica which I have with si joint pain and it helped both.
This works! I have been in pain for 8 yrs and today I found your video and tried this most of the day. What a difference, I can walk and can tell this will keep working, just need to build those muscles!
Im going to try this as i am also having bulging and herniated disc at L5/S1... all the best!!
Hi u tried
I think the content of what you’re saying is probably great - I’m super distracted by the Muzak playing through it all though! Just a note, thank you for making this.
Hi Jack,
Noted! Thank you so much for checking out the video.
Excellent Explanation.. would appreciate a detailed video on Cervical Issues like disc degeneration, bulge, stenosis, spondolytis and best options for exercises, treatment
THANK YOU I have only now found your video today and all your
teachings make so much sense I have been struggling to walk
for over 2yrs now and waiting for back surgery but I will most
definitely be trying to do the exercises you recommended and
following your videos.
Very informative and effectively explained.
The background music was very distracting and competes with your very important presentation. You are enough.
The music is incredibly distracting, and much too loud
I’m so Thankful I found your TH-cam,, I have binge watch so many of your videos,, I totally relate to your back stories, Thank you for your advice, it’s helping me so much
I am so glad that I am able to help. Thank you so much for tuning in and reviewing what I have covered! I hope you are feeling well.
Thank you, I have sport hernia and lower back pain, I was running pain free until I started doing some stretching a few months ago then my pain started, i stopped the stretching, now trying to reverse the damages I did , your videos are very informative and helpful, thank you keep them coming . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi HS, thank you for sharing your situation with us. We're sorry to hear about your struggles with sport hernia and lower back pain. We're so happy to know that our videos are providing helpful information for your journey. Wishing you a smooth recovery, and we'll certainly keep the videos coming! 😊
Thank You for this. You give me hope. I am 55 and used to be very athletic. I had years of my sacrum being locked forward before finding the issue maybe since childhood. With all the nerve paint associated with this I have put on excessive weight and have spondy and stenosis. I have given up most of the things I enjoy. I like what you said about that is the whole point of this. I am hoping this can inspire me. When my back is not lined up properly a walk shoots pain down my legs and causes inflammation for several weeks. If I can get to a feeling of looseness a walk does seem to really help. Would love to get some more thoughts about my particular situation.
Thank you so much for this video... what a game changer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am so happy for this video because I reached the same conclusion for myself for the stenosis I have. Thank you so much! This video gives hope
Hi Gabrielle, I'm so happy to hear that you found the video helpful and that it has given you renewed hope!
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
Woooo hoooo I’m going to work on this. I hope I can run again 🎉. I’m going to have to set a timer to constantly remind me to engage those areas.
thanks God to Made you for Helping humanity ❤❤❤😢😢 you are Most better Than Top Doctors
I have severe foraminal stenosis at L5-s1. I can walk about 50 steps and then I have to get on the ground and unpinch the nerve. You are the first person who's suggested a technique to avoid the pain. I will try it
Hi Ty, thank you so much for your comment. Please do try it out, and let us know how it goes! 😊
Thank you very much for a great information of what I have to do God bless you
First time watching. I subscribed. Thank you for these tips. will try.
Thank you so much for this, it is so so helpful.. and answered the question I was asking myself yesterday…’how should I be walking?’!
I was in a car accident, in 2002, which caused my stenosis. Sitting was the worse thing I could do. I had chronic lower back pain, for 20 years. Then I walked 50 miles per month, for 3 months. My back pain went away, which was miraculous for me. The problem I have now tho, is addiction to gabapentin, which I shouldn't need so much now. But this isn't as bad as 20 years of back pain. I also would like to start doing yoga exercises again, that I quit doing. They are designed, to create flexibility in the spine.
I watched a vid saying yoga was not good for joint issues .
Thanks
Thank you so much for your generosity and support, David! 🙏
Thank you for this new information, it makes incorporate this strategy into my daily routine. 👍
Thank you this is helping. Question can I do rebounding with these conditions?
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity and support, Dan! 🙏
I can't wait to be able to run again. It's my favorite form of exercise.
Best explanation ever. Thank you
The pelvis should pivot back and forth while walking, but the video walker does not move it at all. I see a lot of people walk this way - only moving the legs. Rocking the pelvis shifts the weight from one foot to the other while pushing the body forward. The pubic bone pushes forward when the leg swings forward and swings back when the weight transfers to that foot. This gentle swinging restores and maintains flexibility in the spine. Try walking both ways and feel the difference.
Totally agree with you, walking is always better than sitting.
Thank you for these ideas. I'm gonna try this today!
Thanks for your video. Although I don’t fully understand it, walking seems better.
Health is priceless. Next week we will go to iPhone to do finance and thank you.
Thank you for the info it helps a lot I have been suffering fr lumbar stenosis for 2 yrs now PT helps a lot but insurance pays only so much sessions thank you for fb posting this info
Doctor! Thank you for dedicating your life to such a cause.
Am
Very sure this is only with very very minimal stenosis otherwise run will be impossible
Thank you... Very helpful! I watched you first time yesterday (flexors imbalance), and did my first 15 min. today... Warmed up, took a pill, put that pubic bone forward, pulled-in the abs, found some gait, and off to the grocer's.
Walked back with the bag bumping on my bum. It felt like massage. Tomorrow I'm doing this video. 👍to me, 😘to you, I'm 65 😁
Thank you for this video. I took have a plethora of spinal issues. No surgery wanted
Thanks for wounderful video very much relate with me
Love this guy, thank you so much Dr Ryan
Thanks so much for this video.
Sitting actually makes my pain in my hips and legs worse. Walking gives me relief.
I have an upright walker and extending my arms far forward I can engage the core very well. Great for lunges too. I have severe cervical, spondylethesis, lower lumbar stenosis, sciatica, neuropathy.
I am very glad I come across your videos. I have degenerative disk , stenosis, and anterolisthesis with mild scoliosis. Ironically my job requires me to be on my feet 7 out of 8 hours. I have tried your recommendations on how to sit and have noticed an improvement in the tension in my back. I signed up for your program. Do you have any recommendations for a back brace or should that be avoided? Some days I can barely walk when I leave work.
I'm a DPT. Love these videos! Thank you!
I'm a PT. Would love to chat
Hi
Thanks for the video . Could you clarify .. HOW YOU BRING IT FORWARD IN ACTUALITY…
You mean the stomach muscles need to be tightened forward?… as a natural process while walking ?
Appreciate your clarification
Thanks
Dharam
Can't wait to give this a try! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent information Dr. Peebles. Thank you.
Add scoliosis to the mix and that’s me at 64..could you show how this is done?
Thank you, best advice from a fellow sufferer
Thank you for the kind words, Malcolm... Means a lot!
A fantastic video I will try this fully understood❤
Thanks again Ryan, you’ve been such a big help for me! It’s raining tonight and I’m not able to get my walk, so I’m currently, yes, on the floor! Stretching and feeling better already! *Edit: it stopped raining late and I got my 2 mile walk in before bedtime anyway!! 👊👊
i LOVED this video at the moment of "Spondy" discussion - the hope of Spondy treatment being successful is simply beautiful to see/hear. thank you so much. I am a wee bit confused as to how i can make the walking movement (pelvis) - i would like to see this on a human - maybe you have other videos? Cheers!
Thank you for sharing and the kind words, hope and belief are huge factors in getting out of this! I do have plenty more videos on the TH-cam channel, but the best place to learn how to develop the core connection and feeling for bringing the pubic bone forward is in the program. It's tough because it's definitely more of a feeling than something you can put into words, and so we go through a systematic process of modeling after infant/baby development. There is a free trial so you can actually experience it and see if it works for you. We start with the Back Anchor in the first week, and then the pubic bone anchor is in the second week.
@@CoreBalance thanks!
Yes, I, too, would like to see this in a human demonstrating it or the doctor therapist to show how please, and i don't quite understand what is stenosis what cause it
@@wallywalkabout9
Also walked The Camino 100 kilometers for the beautiful certificate from Portugal to Spain. I used a fanny pack for back support. Luggage Mule Service NO BACKPACK. Thank you.Now I swim but will start walking again and floor exercises.Please do segment onCamino. Im planning trip to Peru.
I found out about anterior pelvic tilt about 4 year ago when trying resolve my bilateral sciatica. 2 back surgeon said it was not the cause, i have always had a deep scalloped lumbar back. Neither of these were the cause. Surgery fixed the sciatica overnight. Wished i had not wasted 4 years on chiro, osteo and physio.
Do you have resources for cervical issues?
wow!!! this is it!! so simple and few talk about it thsnk you so much❤❤❤❤
Excellent tip. Thank you. Pubic bone forward. Xx
As a professional musician in a symphony orchestra for 42 years, sitting has been my life as well as the compression and twisting involved with playing viola. My lower spine is a mess.
Hi Dr., I just had an mri..last one was 2015 and was sent to a surgeon who did fusion l4/5 with two cages and screws. Now 2023 have severe stenosis, facet joint arthopathy, two bulging discs, severe arthritis, a torn disc. Last year I was still walking three miles and push mowing. This winter my pain got so bad. I don’t really know what to do next. I have been on a short course prednisone for a skin condition. It helped my pain but obviously a doctor won’t give long term steroids. A doctor friend read my mri and said a lot of treatments would not work because of how much damage I have. I don’t want to get in strong pain pills. The worse thing I can do is sit. I did push mow today, but in pain now. I am doing pt on utube because my insurance does not pay all and the doctor friend said it was good to strengthen the core, but it can not cure what I have. I am so sorry you suffer too. ❤
Hi Rita,
Thank you so much for sharing your history with me. I am so sorry as well to you and I really hope you get this sorted out. There is hope! Even though it has been a challenge for me to get to this point, I am so glad that I was able to create a program that has helped thousands of people who are in pain and finally feeling relief. If you want to take a look into the program, here is the link for the 7 Day Free Trial.
I truly hope you give it a try and would love to hear how you like the trail if you do decide to continue.

Thank you so much for being here!
I wish you would have demonstrated with your own body. How to walk with pelvic tilt. And how to do pelvic tilt while standing
l got this from the previous comments ie tucking the tailbone , hope it helps
I wish someone can do a demonstration so that we can learn properly and correctly.
Oh! Yes! Public bone forward! It can be hurting, and I remember to go to public bone forward, and it reduces or ends the pain
Thanks for bringing upper back into this picture. I have stenosis there from being rolled wrong in or or recovery room. What can I do for that. It took two epidurals back in 2008. First one close then up a level and that nailed it at t-7.
I started the "pubic bone forward" a couple of days ago. It seems to be helping me. My SI is annoyed, but my worst symptom (leg stiffness in left quad) is the symptom that bothers me the most. My SI irritation and my quad stiffness came on about the same time six months ago. I am convinced they are related since imaging of my hip and knee have shown no abnormalities. Crossing my fingers this works because not being able to walk comfortably has really impacted my life in a negative way.
did you sing the song 500 miles while you were walking?😀. Great effort
So what exercise am I suppose to do to get my hips forward ??
I've been watching your videos for a while now and find them very useful. Have you addressed yoga practices (pros and cons) in other videos? I'm 70 with DDD, mild stenosis, and sciatica. I've been fit my entire life thru martial arts and weights. Now I can only do "old man yoga" so I walk and ride my bike a lot. I've been doing yoga for 10 years and had a strong arm-balance practice before my diagnosis. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your video. How would I teach this to a 79 year old with no body awareness ? What are some easy cues?
It’s took me a year to get to the point of getting around normal and it was a bit to get running. It took 3-4 months but I was running 4 miles in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. I do calisthenics and kettlebells and hike and backpacking
It motivates me to know that you have suffered with this yourself 😊
Oh I wish I could... I walk for 15 min around the store and I am in pain from back down left leg all the way to my toes... 2 yrs now of physical therapy and only getting worse. Cannot get pain meds that help... and really don't want that.. would rather fix the problem as much as possible.. meds just bandaid that cause other health issues.
Wow thank you for the information
Making sure your inner heel has not collapsed downward in footwear i found was important. Aswell as a hotwater bottle on the area when its bad.
Correct thoughtful walking with the foot going down properly, look at your footwear outer heels , is it even wear , there vids on this.
[ if it uneven wear then you will stand uneven effecting the joints ]
Correct eating can also help and losing weight.
Stenosis and other back / spine pain can seem to dominate but its possible to fight back using all of the techniques mentioned by the Dr and in my comments and everyone elses .
Ps : its possible to get foods that are high in collagen.. that build joint tissue . Also there are foods that can attack or irritate or even prevent the formation.
As some minerals / electrolytes need vitamins to work with.
Again theres videos on collagen production and types of beneficial protein to produce collagen.
Cut out alcohol and sugars completely as well as reduce carbohydrates [ NB : GRADUALLY ! ]. 😮
Unfortunately its going to be mind over matter in a battle of will.
Hey Ryan.
My name is Josef, i am from Israel, i am 18 years old. In israel when you get to 18 years of age you go to the army for service for 3 years so i need and want to go too but one day i went to the orthopedic and he told me i have a L5-S1 spondylolisthesis and he told me i can not go to the army and run with it i wanted to ask you, what i can do? What this problem means? How i can run? I saw so many doctors and vedieos and i understand nothing.
i would love and be grateful for your honest opinion and answer, thank you
Man you are the best
Josef, here is a link right to my answer to this question on the recent LIVE Q&A, just in case you missed it: th-cam.com/video/fLg3g9xA5Ag/w-d-xo.html (or in case anyone else wants to see the answer).
Loved the video...the background music didnt bother me at all.
I have this, but where is the video to tell you how to correct it?
I have an old spondy and stenosis. An injury years ago. Had PT and chiro I have neuropathy in my feet. To add insult to injury I sat 23 yrs customer service.
Thank you!
Question, is a pelvic tilt what you want us to achieve when walking?
Thanks again
Elizabeth
I have acute pain from cervical and lumbAR STENOISIS. i BEGAN PT WHICH MADE THE CONDITION WORSE. I used to walk for miles and even di d situps and 3lb weight workout on upper body. oNE DAY I JUST COILDNT GET OUT OF BED. my right side CONTRACTED and i spent weeks trying just to get out of bed. I SAW THIS VIDEO AND DECIDED that ONCE I HAD MORE MOBILITY i wOuld go back to walking. I STARTED WALKING AGAIN FOR ABOUT A MILE AND HALF FEW TIMES A WEEK AND I AM FEELING MUCH BETTER
HOWEVER, I AM ALSO IN PAIN alot. I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUt. i would benefit from some core EXERCISES WHICH WOULDNT AGGRAVATE THE CONDITION.
When you say tension in the abdominals do you mean like flexing the core or pushing out?
I always had arched back so reminding pelvic(pubic) bone forward could be a game changer. Thank you!!!
Thank you, because we are retired people and we no longer do our finances online. Is there any other way?Or send you a check?
