God answers prayeyr in diverse ways. Just came back from hospital yesterday for my daughter's back spasm.The pains she goes through has been bothering me. I just woke up this morning to this video. May God bless you. we will try it and provide feedback. Many thanks
I am 60 years old and I did 18 hours of gardening over three days,pulling out 220kg of vines. May 9 to 11 The next day it took me an hour to get out of bed. Saw a chiropractor May 12 and this morning May 13 I got out of bed no problem, an hour later I was totally stiff and sore to move, Found your video May 13 and wow I got instant relief after five minutes. Thank you so much from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
Seated extension exercise worked like a magic. I'm not at the point where I can't move yet. But I have had back spasms before, so I know that any wrong move could put me in that position. I did the exercise in about 10 minutes and felt the softening immediately. Thank you.
After doing a sudden, fast movement I pulled my back and was getting excruciating spasms (especially when breathing). After doing these exercises, the pain is reduced by at least 75% and spasms aren’t happening often! I am so impressed! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video , very helpful . I was outside trying to finish up some siding and was on a ladder .my lower back locked up with horrible spasms, I had to crawl all the way around the house to get in .I thought I was going to lay outside until my wife came home from work .your stretches are helping slowly , I cant thank you enough for posting this video . I am a very fit man 6ft. 5 inches 230 pounds and for me to have to crawl all the way to the front of this house sucked bad .I could not stand at all , sorry I'm talking to much .

Thank you so much for your video! My back has been getting progressively worse and I'm now wearing a back brace to prevent spasms. I just found your video today, I've filled out an index card with these exercise routines. Genuine thanks for making my life better.
Im glad to watch ur channel. I neef this exercises because i have lowerbackpain which i git from gardening. Im 58 years old. I consulted my batchmate doctors and one recommended to go to internet for backpain exercises.
I've been googling and youtubing and searching for something I can do to give my painful back some relief. This by far is the most helpful and informative video I've found. It gives clear, useful instructions for what I can to do that will actually work. My back and I thank you so very much!!
Bob Thank you very much. i was having back spasms for the past 3 weeks and the pain meds were not helping. i just tried this 15 minute video and im feeling a whole lot better.... :)
I felt the exercises were so simple, but I just thought to try it and boom it worked. You are a miracle worker... Thanks for the things you do. Will give a try and let you know. Cheers
Bob, I've watched others on TH-cam, to help with lower back and hip pain, combined with a lot of stiffness. Your videos are a cut above the rest!! I believe your information is helping me a lot, keep them coming please, good luck 🙏👍
Thank you. I had a car accident 5 yrs ago and since then when I get a bad cold with congestion that puts me in bed for a week or Covid like this last time, I end up with back spasms once I recover. They are so bad I cannot get out of bed with out my hiking poles. It takes me 5 minutes to get up and down the stairs. These simple techniques have helped. I was coming to similar conclusions with the breathing but the exercises helped a lot. Thank you
Happy to hear that, keep up the good work. However, If you have any questions, or if you looking for a customised plan !? We can organise an online consultation. Bob
Just came across this channel. Been having Back spasms for a while now. Let me try these out and shall let you know how I am progressing. Hoping for the best
I was wondering why when the ice was helping, the doctor said yse heat. Even after I said the heat wasnt helping (this was within 48 hours). I still kept using ice and a T.E.N.s unit. Started miving and massage on day 3 (today). Decided to look up videos for lower back pain/ spasms and came across yours. I will be doing these exercises. Thanks for the confirmation of my instinct to rest and ice first. Thanks for this video.
Thank you so much for this video, exercise with the rotation is the one that make me pain free. I feel little pain in the morning but soon as i am done with exercise all day it’s amazing and I am doing just ones per day. Feels amazing without this stiffness. Thank you so much
Thank you, this video helped me so much, i pulled somethin in my back, right at the end of my last rib, which just felt like a bruised rib on my side, but at the back, it didnt feel that bad so i kept exercising, cycling etc. eventually the pain got worse and i started having back spasms from my “ middle back which moved up to between my shoulders, i tried everything, nothing helped, until i found this video, thank you for helping me,🙏🙏💪🙏🙏❤️
@@bobthephysio i have been suffering from back pain since last year...does these exercises will help me to get rid of this prblm??? And if yes how much time will it take to recover from chronic pain
Hurting my lower back a lot since last 12 hours. It happened most likely due to sudden heavy exercise. I got the spasm when I tried to bend. I am finding relief with your breathing exercises a lot! God bless you! Cat & camel is also effective. I am unable to lie down. It hurts really bad. How long will I be in pain & before I completely recover?
Thank you for this video. This back spasms are the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s so frustrating not being able to walk or even sit down without terrible pain. I will give your exercises a try.
Bless you Bob, these are exactly what I needed as I’ve just suffered in this way for over a week. I’ve suffered with similar conditions, but never new I shouldn't rest !! . I’ve suffered great pain when trying to move around, but didn’t know what to do other than rest. Thank you so very much indeed for all your help.
Hi bob as usual your explanation and presentation was fantastic ❤ started today Back exercises , i will come back after 10days and will share my experiences. Thank you bob. Love u bob from London ❤😊
Thank you so much for making this video! I especially appreciate the police and harm protocols. I have been doing everything in the harm column except for consuming alcohol. No wonder I keep having set backs! Hopefully I have the tools to heal my back injury now. Thank you!
Glad to hear that you find it helpful 🖐 that's right those 2 protocol are important while you try to recover from an injury. Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any questions. Bob
Hi Bob it's a very helpful video.. I would like to ask you for an intermediate gym guy healing from L4-L5 disk bulge, how long will it take to be able to bend forward like normal... Thanks in advance
First time in my entire life to experience extremely unbearable pain yesterday April 20th. I was standing front of a mirror just after a quick shower, when one sharp pain on my lower back shocked me, I couldn’t take a single step, every little movement will hurt, good is that my phone was beside me so I called my husband to come home immediately, after 15 minutes I’m still in the same place not moving, I sat on the bed and I cried because my lower back hurt that it can’t support my upper body. Until we decided to call an ambulance because I can’t walk to the car. Now it still hurt but better than yesterday. Btw I just had c section delivery a month ago that makes me really scared because my surgery is still healing.
Hey man, love your videos first of all. This is my first comment in this channel coz i watched few of your videos earlier just for knowledge base but today i feel it's time to revisit your channels. I m facing back spasms and which don't let me have a sit in the normal chair position. And i found the problem when i was carrying a 20kg luggage with all one hand straight like we hold dumbbell set in gym. And otherside i was holding my 2 years old neice. And after that day it all begun. And today, it's been 7 days i was ignoring it but now i can't wait to deal it. Thank for your videos. I m following you. Hope this will kill my pain on the left side of my waist.
I believe I can help you with your back spasm, you just need to understand the cause of it before doing anything to fix it !! If the root cause of spasm is not clear for you, the recurrence of spasm is common !! I can help. Check my clients who worked with me online. Bob th-cam.com/play/PLGy13kRgyQtSNvY4idxe7WiiehXUyuwgL.html&si=u-_XXfkjZLPJk29u
Ty for the exercises, i have muscle spasms which started 2 days ago, prolong seating andstanding is not good even laying in bed forthe night i fnd it uncomforatble too, it help me a bit especially the nerve glide helps…
Thanks Bob for the routine, I really needed. I have had a spasm 2 weeks a go and its been on and off, gonna give this routine a try and let you know. Thanks again.
I got cramps because of my bad sleeping habits. I kept my body in the right side the whole night after a big day and the next day, I got cramps in the left waist. Well my kid daughter slept behind my back. So she unknowingly put me in a bit tight position and I got the spasm. I guess now you'll understand the situation. The third exercise that you showed is actually my favourite in normal times. But it backfired in this time. My pain worsen. If I lay down in the same position that got me the cramps, I actually don't feel much pain so when I go to sleep, in go to that position without my knowledge and make it worse. It became tiresome to do things, so I feel like laying down every now and then. It's so tempting to lay down a bit. Tell me about sleeping position and if I should do something else. Ok the third one is bridge exercise.
I have had injury 5h ago. Do you recommend exercises on the same day? It really hurts..i have taken painkillers but there is no effect and i need to be painfree in two days. Btw well presented...clear and concise ...thank you very much.
Hi Slavica, I would be happy to help you. you can try the exercise in the same day, howevr if you have taken a painkiller, you better take it easy and try the exercises when you are fresh tomorrow. try the exercises without the pain killer and monitor your pain, and progress gradually 👌 Let me know if you have any questions. Bob
GREAT VIDEO ON BACK SPASM EXCERCISE Bob . WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR THE SIDE OF YOUR HIP AREA THAT HAS A MILD PAIN... MINE IS ALWAYS ON MY RIGHT SIDE , THANKS :-)
I got back pain last year in October (2021) and it's been an year, still not healed. I have consulted and took treatments from multiple physiotherapist and Doctors. Also tried yoga and ayurvedic treatments. I can't sleep on my back because my lower back hurts...can't stand, walk or sit for longer. What to do?it's been an year. Right now I m not doing anything, just walking for 20min. And taking medicines.
Not necessary because of the disc bulges, but it might be more common because of the way that you over protect your back. What I mean is in many cases, my clients are avoiding some movements and afraid to bend or lift or do anything to challenge their back and that makes them to become over protective and get a spasm with a minimal movement of activity. Does that make sense? Bob
@@bobthephysio I am in this boat right now. I tried a bit of yoga, but the slightest twinge feel of the muscles starting to tighten just puts me off trying to strengthen the back again. I was doing some exercises fine, then a few days later the same exercises twinged my back. It’s so hard to get anyway. I will try these initially and again try to build.
Hey! Can you do this exercise with back brace? Because I injured my lower right back and I went to urgent care, they prescribed me medicine and I took it for a week and nothing changed. I went back and they recommend me to go to physical therapy. I have a back brace and I want to give this exercise a try. Thanks, hope you notice it
This does work but only for couple hours then you back to it. Thats what have been my experience. I did apply heat and alternated to cold which helped relax it
Hello bob Good work there. I have back spasm every winter. I am An amateur mma fighter who practices bjj muay thai etc. Although my spasm happens very rare in the day can you kindly tell can i continue my training if i do these stretches on a daily basis
I have pain on my backon the right i saw from lady she jest weakup andshe put the hand ond back right there my pain is for almost tow year tell me wich video i must exercise today i wacht 2 video of you one wasspasm and sleep and give like l am 74 thank youno sciatic pain
So about 4 days ago my left side started hurting. IF I move a certain way or jolt it hurts and I tighten up and then it hurts way worse. Is this what you are considering a spasm? I was thinking kidneys but I'm have no other pains and it Def feels like it's in the muscle.
thank you for this video. i've been getting reoccurring low back spasm...march 1, 2021, may 9, 2021, november 15, 2021, and january 23, 2022 for NO reason! i have learned, like you said, the CNS has turned up the volume. i found your video in november, and have been doing well. the pain has persisted, but at a very low level, and i have maintained my activity level (mainly walking 30 minutes 6 days/week, and 30 minutes of resistance training on the total gym. my question...since it's not an injury, not acute, is using heat, very light self-massage, and walking/total gym okay to continue??? i was confused by your HARM protocol since another PT i found on YT who has similar recommendations to yours, does recommend heat and light self-massage. thank you again.
Thank you for your kind words. I’ve made the new video that uploaded last week that will answer your questions. Please watch my last video : ) in regards to harm protocol, it will only use in acute phase. In your case you have had this issue for a while. My suggestion is to gradually increase your daily activities and progress your routine. Your back Is Strong structure and the only way to improve it is with using it :) 💪 Bob
Thanks for the Video, I really needed those 2 protocols !! I thought walking can be a good thing while I'm sore, but I realise the 1st 72 hours you gotta take it easy. Lol Thanks again.
1 tsp of No Salt mixed with water does the trick for me. It takes away all the spasms within hours and they don't come back. I take it daily to avoid spasms and for natural muscle relaxation.
Sir, 2 weeks ago I got back pain in gym during deadlift it was mild. But i felt discomfort in my lower back (not too much pain). I did xray yesterday and doctor said me my lower back got straight because of muscle spasm. And he prescribed be some muscle relaxation medicine. My question is will my back go into previous portion again? Please reply. Again my pain is not too much. Im worried about my back position that has changed
Yesterday I was experienced sudden lower back pain when I was sitting on my terrace and this pain is too sharp whenever I used to move.. Let me know this information is helpful for my condition or not???
After 3 years driving el.scooter i wasnt able to walk my abs were hurting all the time. I begin to do exercises was better but now its 3 weeks that my back hurts but abs seems to be ok.Today i had put some iice on it and it works i will see... I wish that i did some works on my spine before
Hurt my lower middle back right above cheeks... Feel pressure when i stand... Should i ice and stretch or does stretching aggravate And make recovery longer...
Im in so much pain. Went to the er and wasnt able to get much done there. Are these exercises good to do while in pain or should i wait til the pain calms down.
My problem is I have no painfree range of movement. As soon as I lay down I am screwed. takes me 5-10minutes to get up cause it's so painful. And I just got this spasm after waking up 3 days ago.
I have had back spasms for more than 50 years and obviously I tried everything. I found that heat actually helps and I used to use ice packs which I stopped because the recover.y could be up to a month or more and complete agony. Heat patches, hot water bottles covered of course , is a much more effective way of treating my muscle spasms in my back and I have crossed off the list ice. So I don’t agree with your findings suggesting ice. I think if you have an injury this can be useful but not for my type of muscle spasms. What I want to know is what causes it and how it can be prevented as the pain sends me through the roof when they are in crisis and it is disabling as I can not move.
I can’t answer your question if I don’t know you in details !! I’ll be happy to answer your question & provide u a rehab plan for your recovery. Check the link below and watch my online clients who follows my plan. th-cam.com/play/PLGy13kRgyQtSNvY4idxe7WiiehXUyuwgL.html&si=I5cS9AdY5LOCmZCT
Hi Bob Due to spinal injuries caused by doing high impact exercises at gym for past many years which has affected my lower back, pl provide the link on strengthening exercises to reduce lower back pain under L3 & L4. Tq
I went to see chiropractor and was advised to apply ice pack for 10mins at the lower back twice a day for 10mins to reduce pain. Pain comes on and off which starts from buttock and radiates down the leg pinching my nerves whereby my leg feels weak and fatigue. Not doing any rehab program except some exercises like forearm plank, glute bridge and side planks and fast walking to sweat it out.
I experience discomfort when doing high impact lower body exercises eg jumping, deadlift, running, leg press, burpee, etc. Off and on whilst standing too long the legs feel fatigue with nerve pinching effect from butt. When I sneeze I can also feel an impact on lower back too.
HELLO BOB: I am a Classical Pilates Person and use the Method to keep myself Fit. More recently I have started to get involuntary muscles spasms in the right side of my back, it affects the lower rib cage area; mid back and between my scapula and spine. It manifests itself as a sudden grabbing feeling, that can cause both sides of the posterior ribs to pull in towards each other and after a few seconds releases. NOT SURE WHAT EXERCISES TO DO THAT WILL RELEASE THE MUSCLES AND HEAL THEM? It is not like chronic or acute back pain, simply involuntary sudden muscle contractions - gripping. Have you come across this and how to effectively fix it through movement? MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED BOB!

Glad to hear that 🙏
@@bobthephysio good AM Bob, is there exercises i can do for a sore back, my R lower back a little hard, thats what my Physio told me
I'm unable to sit it stand, i pulled my muscle about 4 hours ago, in a lot of pain. Tell me what to do
Thanks Bob for the routine, I really needed. I have had a spasm 2 weeks a go and its been on and off, gonna give this routine a try and let you know. Thanks again.
Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions 🙏❤
I got cramps because of my bad sleeping habits. I kept my body in the right side the whole night after a big day and the next day, I got cramps in the left waist. Well my kid daughter slept behind my back. So she unknowingly put me in a bit tight position and I got the spasm. I guess now you'll understand the situation.
The third exercise that you showed is actually my favourite in normal times. But it backfired in this time. My pain worsen. If I lay down in the same position that got me the cramps, I actually don't feel much pain so when I go to sleep, in go to that position without my knowledge and make it worse. It became tiresome to do things, so I feel like laying down every now and then. It's so tempting to lay down a bit.
Tell me about sleeping position and if I should do something else.
Ok the third one is bridge exercise.
I have had injury 5h ago. Do you recommend exercises on the same day? It really hurts..i have taken painkillers but there is no effect and i need to be painfree in two days.
Btw well presented...clear and concise ...thank you very much.
Hi Slavica, I would be happy to help you. you can try the exercise in the same day, howevr if you have taken a painkiller, you better take it easy and try the exercises when you are fresh tomorrow. try the exercises without the pain killer and monitor your pain, and progress gradually 👌 Let me know if you have any questions. Bob
Is there avideo for upper back pain ??
You can use it for upper back too ma man
GREAT VIDEO ON BACK SPASM EXCERCISE Bob . WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR THE SIDE OF YOUR HIP AREA THAT HAS A MILD PAIN... MINE IS ALWAYS ON MY RIGHT SIDE , THANKS :-)
Happy you find it helpfull. Cheers
Mind your posture. I had this a while ago when I left my wallet on back pockets all day at work.
I got back pain last year in October (2021) and it's been an year, still not healed. I have consulted and took treatments from multiple physiotherapist and Doctors. Also tried yoga and ayurvedic treatments.
I can't sleep on my back because my lower back hurts...can't stand, walk or sit for longer. What to do?it's been an year. Right now I m not doing anything, just walking for 20min. And taking medicines.
Have you tried this routine yet ? Bob
@@bobthephysio no
Very Nice!👌🏽
Thanks a lot!👍🏼
Thank you 🙏❤️
Thanks, Bob, Great information. Would you say if you have a disc bulges your chances is higher to get a back spasm? Thanks
Not necessary because of the disc bulges, but it might be more common because of the way that you over protect your back. What I mean is in many cases, my clients are avoiding some movements and afraid to bend or lift or do anything to challenge their back and that makes them to become over protective and get a spasm with a minimal movement of activity. Does that make sense? Bob
@@bobthephysio I am in this boat right now. I tried a bit of yoga, but the slightest twinge feel of the muscles starting to tighten just puts me off trying to strengthen the back again. I was doing some exercises fine, then a few days later the same exercises twinged my back. It’s so hard to get anyway. I will try these initially and again try to build.
Hey! Can you do this exercise with back brace? Because I injured my lower right back and I went to urgent care, they prescribed me medicine and I took it for a week and nothing changed. I went back and they recommend me to go to physical therapy. I have a back brace and I want to give this exercise a try. Thanks, hope you notice it
If it feel comfortable, you can try the back brace 👍
This does work but only for couple hours then you back to it. Thats what have been my experience.
I did apply heat and alternated to cold which helped relax it
Back spasm won’t clear with a day of doing this exercises 😃 keep at it daily 2 to 3 times 💪 hit or cold is good 👍
How many times a day should I do these exercises?
Daily 2 times 👍💪

Hello bob
Good work there.
I have back spasm every winter.
I am An amateur mma fighter who practices bjj muay thai etc.
Although my spasm happens very rare in the day can you kindly tell can i continue my training if i do these stretches on a daily basis
You can 👍💪
I have pain on my backon the right i saw from lady she jest weakup andshe put the hand ond back right there my pain is for almost tow year tell me wich video i must exercise today i wacht 2 video of you one wasspasm and sleep and give like l am 74 thank youno sciatic pain
So about 4 days ago my left side started hurting. IF I move a certain way or jolt it hurts and I tighten up and then it hurts way worse. Is this what you are considering a spasm? I was thinking kidneys but I'm have no other pains and it Def feels like it's in the muscle.
thank you for this video. i've been getting reoccurring low back spasm...march 1, 2021, may 9, 2021, november 15, 2021, and january 23, 2022 for NO reason! i have learned, like you said, the CNS has turned up the volume. i found your video in november, and have been doing well. the pain has persisted, but at a very low level, and i have maintained my activity level (mainly walking 30 minutes 6 days/week, and 30 minutes of resistance training on the total gym. my question...since it's not an injury, not acute, is using heat, very light self-massage, and walking/total gym okay to continue??? i was confused by your HARM protocol since another PT i found on YT who has similar recommendations to yours, does recommend heat and light self-massage. thank you again.
Thank you for your kind words. I’ve made the new video that uploaded last week that will answer your questions. Please watch my last video : ) in regards to harm protocol, it will only use in acute phase. In your case you have had this issue for a while. My suggestion is to gradually increase your daily activities and progress your routine. Your back Is Strong structure and the only way to improve it is with using it :) 💪 Bob
Are you dehydrated, when the spasms start? This seems to be the primary trigger for mine…
Not really !! That can’t be the cause
Thank You for this video. I've been searching for a week. I'm suffering back spasm. Is jogging exercise okay. ?
Thanks for the Video, I really needed those 2 protocols !! I thought walking can be a good thing while I'm sore, but I realise the 1st 72 hours you gotta take it easy. Lol Thanks again.
🙏❤
1 tsp of No Salt mixed with water does the trick for me. It takes away all the spasms within hours and they don't come back. I take it daily to avoid spasms and for natural muscle relaxation.
1 tsp of no salt??? Do you take salt or no?? Thanks
@@Melis30534LMAO! Maybe they meant Nu-salt?
Sir, 2 weeks ago I got back pain in gym during deadlift it was mild. But i felt discomfort in my lower back (not too much pain). I did xray yesterday and doctor said me my lower back got straight because of muscle spasm. And he prescribed be some muscle relaxation medicine. My question is will my back go into previous portion again? Please reply. Again my pain is not too much. Im worried about my back position that has changed
Did you put ice on it?
Yesterday I was experienced sudden lower back pain when I was sitting on my terrace and this pain is too sharp whenever I used to move.. Let me know this information is helpful for my condition or not???
You can definitely try this routine, your pain looks like a back spasm, have you had it before? Bob
If you been vaccinated, it explains much.
Yeah same its like a shock and you cant move at that time , basically you get stuck for few moment also you cant pin point the location of the pain
Accidentally i can't stand or move What can i do by now i am sleep on my back Please help me
Hope you’re good and well now! ✊🏼
After 3 years driving el.scooter i wasnt able to walk my abs were hurting all the time.
I begin to do exercises was better but now its 3 weeks that my back hurts but abs seems to be ok.Today i had put some iice on it and it works i will see...
I wish that i did some works on my spine before
Hi, can I also use pain relief ointment like voltaren. During the first 24 of spasms.
You can use them if you find them helpful 👍
Some time i feel pain on both of my hip shill i countinue this excercise
You can definitely follow this routine and try to identify what activities bothering you the most and modify them 👍
I feel very hard while walking.
Hurt my lower middle back right above cheeks...
Feel pressure when i stand...
Should i ice and stretch or does stretching aggravate And make recovery longer...
You should follow this routine daily. You don’t need any ice and avoid activities that aggravates your pain.
Im in so much pain. Went to the er and wasnt able to get much done there. Are these exercises good to do while in pain or should i wait til the pain calms down.
You can Do them in the acute phase. Try the one that feels good and follow the tips I’ve mentioned.
Is this helpful for mid back pain spasm?
Yes for Both 👋🙏
@@bobthephysio thank you
Does this work for thoracic spine back spasms? My spasms start while I lay down or sit down with my back against the chair
Definitely 👍💪
My problem is I have no painfree range of movement. As soon as I lay down I am screwed. takes me 5-10minutes to get up cause it's so painful. And I just got this spasm after waking up 3 days ago.
are you doing any rehab program or exercises at the moment? Bob
@@bobthephysio So far I am not sure what exercises would benefit me. even throguh deep breaths I feel the spasms
Are these exercises to be done while experiencing back pain or when the pain eases?
You can 👍

I have had back spasms for more than 50 years and obviously I tried everything. I found that heat actually helps and I used to use ice packs which I stopped because the recover.y could be up to a month or more and complete agony. Heat patches, hot water bottles covered of course , is a much more effective way of treating my muscle spasms in my back and I have crossed off the list ice. So I don’t agree with your findings suggesting ice. I think if you have an injury this can be useful but not for my type of muscle spasms. What I want to know is what causes it and how it can be prevented as the pain sends me through the roof when they are in crisis and it is disabling as I can not move.
I can’t answer your question if I don’t know you in details !! I’ll be happy to answer your question & provide u a rehab plan for your recovery. Check the link below and watch my online clients who follows my plan.

Hi Bob
Due to spinal injuries caused by doing high impact exercises at gym for past many years which has affected my lower back, pl provide the link on strengthening exercises to reduce lower back pain under L3 & L4. Tq
Hi Florence, I would be happy to help you. Are you doing any rehab program or exercises at the moment ? Bob
I went to see chiropractor and was advised to apply ice pack for 10mins at the lower back twice a day for 10mins to reduce pain. Pain comes on and off which starts from buttock and radiates down the leg pinching my nerves whereby my leg feels weak and fatigue. Not doing any rehab program except some exercises like forearm plank, glute bridge and side planks and fast walking to sweat it out.
Hi Florence, I can see what do you mean. Does any activities aggravates your pain or discomfort? Bob
I experience discomfort when doing high impact lower body exercises eg jumping, deadlift, running, leg press, burpee, etc. Off and on whilst standing too long the legs feel fatigue with nerve pinching effect from butt. When I sneeze I can also feel an impact on lower back too.
I hv tried upper body toning exercise for arms, shoulders, triceps, biceps exercises using light weight and so far Ok.
Thank you sir ❤
Most welcome 🙌❤️
HELLO BOB:
I am a Classical Pilates Person and use the Method to keep myself Fit. More recently I have started to get involuntary muscles spasms in the right side
of my back, it affects the lower rib cage area; mid back and between my scapula and spine. It manifests itself as a sudden grabbing feeling, that can cause both sides of the posterior ribs to pull in towards each other and after a few seconds releases. NOT SURE WHAT EXERCISES TO DO THAT WILL RELEASE THE MUSCLES AND HEAL THEM? It is not like chronic or acute back pain, simply involuntary sudden muscle contractions - gripping. Have you come across this and how to effectively fix it through movement? MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED BOB!
Hi Colin, I would love to help I just need more information. If you happy we can set up an online consultation and I would be happy to help. Bob
@@bobthephysio Thank you very much for taking the time to reply, Quite frankly however, I cannot afford private Consultations. Thanks.
