I am 62 and have had some sort of back pain since I was a kid. It got bad in high school, maybe injury from falling off horses, over use, poor posture, unhealthy diet. It's not just old age creeping on you. I've heard that it's starting in young ppl. What's really going on here? I have chronic fatigue too and am wondering if anyone else is experiencing extreme fatigue by always being in so much pain, depression too. I have read that chronic pain changes the brain. I do some exercises then I need to go lay down, usually on ice. Thank you for your videos, it does feel good to do them.
I'm 32 and they found out that I have the ddd bad posture and pain on one of the shoulders, took so many medicines and will see how this exercises will work all with swimming.. idk though how it will strengthen my muscles that became so weak because of that and I believe exercises and vitamins will help
going to start these today - two weeks ago found out I have disc issues - have been in a lot of pain at night especially. and the situation seemed dire...but you have have given me hope!! that life is not over at 65!! thank you❤❤
In the last few months, I have tried out several exercises to alleviate my spinal stenosis problem. As I came across your video, I realized that your set of exercises encompasses all the aspects that I require, ranging from spinal decompression to strengthening the core muscles, squats, glutes, calves, balance, and more. I am considering replacing my low chin-up bar with your recommended kitchen counter, which I believe is the perfect height for all these movements. Thank you, Dr. Kuhn, for providing an excellent series of therapeutic exercises.
Dear Alyssa, I do these exercises every day in the meanwhile. They are the most helpfull exercises ever for my lower back pain. Thank you so much for your help and endeavour😊
Thank you so so much Alyssa. Slept for first time comfortably in 4 weeks. Have Bronchiectasis and developed lower back pain from coughing. Have tried various exercises and found that you’re the best. Wishing you every blessing for your wonderful work and dedication. ❤️❤️
I find your exercises easy and doable on a daily basis. Swimming in the lake every afternoon during summer and walking every day during the whole year have removed my ddd pain completely. I am 59.
Hey Susan,your name sounds familiar but if I know you and am remiss, sorry. I too am in NSand have DDD and other issues. Take care.maybe we follow same channels..lol
Thank you for making this video. ❤❤❤ I was in so much pain I was nearly in tears and I couldn't get out of bed. You are kind and gentle and calming. This worked from the first time I tried it. I'll do this everyday and I'll try to add some of your other exercises as I feel better and stronger everyday! You were there when I needed you. ❤ Thank you for sharing your gift.
The most helpfull workout for degenerative disc.And I have done so many of those! Thank you for the exercises and for being so explanative. Greetings from Greece!❤
I can hardly believe it! But YES it worked! I have DDD, I was waking up every. Morning in pain, in pain if I walked to far, stood to long, sat to long. It almost felt like a pinched nerve. I did this routine once and I'm free from that pain! I'll be doing this everyday and I feel like I'll be able to build from there. Thank you so much.
I am a tall female. I have always had difficulty doing squats. Now that I am 75 , when getting up from a chair is difficult. I am excited because using the kitchen counter I am doing a squat, see where this goes, but this is encouraging. Thanks
Thank U Soooo much for this video because I have been dealing with back pain diagnosed with degenerative disc disease but after a injury at work & I also gained some weight so haven't been exercising really but lately been in a whole lot of pain So anyway Thx for your time 💐💐
I am doing your two Degenerative Disc Disease exercises everyday and I am feeling much better.. Thank you very much Dr. Alyssa. I am so glad to have found your videos on you tube. God bless you.
Dear Dr.Alyssa I am 65 years old female who was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis 1st degree last two month ago. My right buttock, hip are pain and tingling along shin and calf on both legs I would like to get your recommend for spondylolisthesis excercises Thanks for your kindness! From Thailand
I’m definitely going to try these! I’m suffering with DDD so bad. I can rarely get through my stretches and strengthening exercises from my Physiotherapist. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to go on disability from work because that’s what’s killing me. Slowly, every day. It’s exhausting. I’m only 58. I’m too young for this 😢
How are you. Please don’t give up. I have had the same problem since I was fifty seven. I had spinal fusion surgery in 2015,.unfortunately a mri showed seven diagnoses..all bad. I have severe spinal stenosis, facet arthopathy, bulging discs, …on and on. I also spasm in the morning for hours. I do take Tramodal for pain, but I have learned to meditate, try to distract yourself and strengthen your core as well as you can. I have a torn disc so I have had more pain lately but don’t give up. I found out lots of people have all of these as we age. I hope you have found hope. I am not having more surgery.
@@PouchMasterwith you there. It started for me around 37 after my last daughter. I’ve found healing through reiki, stretching and herbs. I’ve come a long way but I still have numbness from my toes to my back and I can’t not work a 8 hour job standing on my feet. I am back in the gym strengthening my body and it’s been helping me feel more protected. My body felt so weak fr.
So going to try these! I have DDD waist all way down and some throacic, also very poor posture and shoulder issues. So will have to really try hard to keep good posture. My phsyio works so hard on my r hip and shoulders.
My L5 and L4 are degenerated i need this. I live in pain for more than 5 years, even now that i am seated and writing, i am feeling the pain, is totally uncomfortable, its been almost a year in the gym just to walk properly, however i am still feeling the pain.
wish you are all good MAY I ASK YOUR HELP ABOUT YOU PINPOINTING WHAT SPECIFIC MUSCLES ARE BEING WORKED IN EACH OF THE EXERCISES YOU ARE SHOWING BECAUSE I NEED TO FOCUS ON THOSE MUSCLES WHILE DOING EACH EXERCISES PLEASE I BEG YOU TO HELP ME ON THAT I AM FINDING SO MUCH PAIN RELIEF WITH YOUR KIND EXERCISES THANKS SO MUCH YOUR KIND EFFORT GOD BLESS YOU ALL THERE
I think it's because the opening where the nerve goes through is narrowing because of the lack of disk. I think these exercises are to help open up that opening more.
Hi, I finished for the second time! How many times a week should I do this? I’m 56 and just been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I’m very active normally and also do strength training and running 3 x per week each.
Not sure why they call it a disc disease as its a completely inappropriate term for degenerating discs. Usually its a loading issue and posture over time with incorrect movement patterns.
Whats does it mean if I start getting a little light headed and start getting a headache when im doing stretches? I have DDD, Idk if knowing that will help you answer my question??? (Sorry, but yes I DID post this same question on another video. Lol)
Funny, I've naturally been doing most of these without seeing or having anyone recommending them. When I'm cooking, waiting for something to cook or boil etc. Are you holding onto the sink for the ones at the beginning? Are they skechers you're wearing? They one of the worst shoes

I like how these exercises are done in the kitchen, where I spend most of my time. They’re easily done while waiting for something to boil or cook.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I look forward to doing these exercises to help my Discs. Cheers from Nova Scotia Canada.
Wonderful!

Thank you Alyssa! This is the best, most helpful video !👏💕💐
You're so welcome!

I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to go on disability from work because that’s what’s killing me. Slowly, every day. It’s exhausting. I’m only 58. I’m too young for this 😢
These typically are a little gentler and can help to improve your mobility and give you some relief! Let me know how they go for you. There is hope!!
How are you. Please don’t give up. I have had the same problem since I was fifty seven. I had spinal fusion surgery in 2015,.unfortunately a mri showed seven diagnoses..all bad.

58? Too young? Really? I've been suffering this hard since I was 42. It first came on when I was 38. It took everything from me.
Hi, I'm 79 and thank you for making the exercises early to follow. 😂

I HAVE SUBSCRIBED AS YOU CAN SEE THANKS SO MUCH YOUR KIND HELP
Yes I like this exercise cuz I have that every night and then when I'm lifting I feel a lot of pain
So going to try these! I have DDD waist all way down and some throacic, also very poor posture and shoulder issues. So will have to really try hard to keep good posture. My phsyio works so hard on my r hip and shoulders.
Will this apply to heirnated discs as well
The audio on this video is very muffled, but the information as always is fantastic- any chance you might re-record it?
I will add it to the list of re-dos. We've upgraded our equipment on the new videos.
Pain is increased after doing it.what should do after that for pain relief
My L5 and L4 are degenerated i need this. I live in pain for more than 5 years, even now that i am seated and writing, i am feeling the pain, is totally uncomfortable, its been almost a year in the gym just to walk properly, however i am still feeling the pain.

Thank you
Welcome!
Does this relive symptoms of Discitis
Move to PA please❤
I have pain in my upper part of the arm socket area especially when I extend my hand to Pick Up something. Please do suggest some exercises. Thanks
this works!
Glad you liked it!
Can you do these excise if you have had hip replacement? It been 6 week.. I have very
Stiff hips.. can’t put on socks and shoes.. need help
Any advice on sciatica pain in leg
I think it's because the opening where the nerve goes through is narrowing because of the lack of disk. I think these exercises are to help open up that opening more.
I want to stay fit with weights what exercises you recommend I have Degenerated Disc Deses.
Hi, I finished for the second time! How many times a week should I do this? I’m 56 and just been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I’m very active normally and also do strength training and running 3 x per week each.
My membership has the repetitions and progressions included in it! You can learn more here. www.keeptheadventurealive.com/start
Are these okay for spinal, lumbar stenosis? The physical therapist kept treating me like I just needed to fix a bulging disc.
Ppl who have ddd will find very tough to move...😢
Not sure why they call it a disc disease as its a completely inappropriate term for degenerating discs. Usually its a loading issue and posture over time with incorrect movement patterns.
I've heard it said that it's because of being out of alignment. Unfortunately, I don't trust chiropractors messing with my back.
Cant do these exercises with my knee. So frustrating.
Progress can look slow at times. There are other beginner videos on the channel if needed.
Whats does it mean if I start getting a little light headed and start getting a headache when im doing stretches? I have DDD, Idk if knowing that will help you answer my question???
(Sorry, but yes I DID post this same question on another video. Lol)
I would recommend seeking medical attention to make sure nothing else is going on.
Funny, I've naturally been doing most of these without seeing or having anyone recommending them. When I'm cooking, waiting for something to cook or boil etc.
Are you holding onto the sink for the ones at the beginning?
Are they skechers you're wearing? They one of the worst shoes
That is great! The sink is a great way to modify but you don’t necessarily have to use the sink. And no they are not Skechers.
The link to what not to do with DDD doesn’t work
The link has been updated. Thanks!
I can't do thest. My dryer in the way
