Dr Furlan, When Spinal Stenosis finally brought me to me knees, I knew I had to do something and it was not going to be surgery. Providence brought me to You Tube and to your series. I have now been using your 10 exercises daily routine for about 6 weeks. Progress initially was slow but has picked up measurably. My initial step average/day was about 4.4K, but this week I raised it to 7.0K steps. I am watching improvement happen in real time. Have been combining your exercise routine with some I learned from PT as well as some gym workout. Results are amazing. While I am not out of the woods yet, I am ecstatic with my progress. Many Thanks,
Hi Bill, that is so nice to hear. I would love to use your comment to tell my patients about using these exercise.
@@DrAndreaFurlan I would also like to add that my spinal stenosis was mainly caused by poor posture. So, in addition to all my new exercise routines, I pay considerable attention to improving the way I walk & sit. Everything is paying off, handsomely. Since I am retired, 40-50 minutes/day is a small price to pay for the improvements I am now seeing. Sure, use my comments as you like.
Thankyou so much
Sir my age 25 .I have L4 L5 S1 disc bulg along with STENOSIS.Can i do this exercises.please reply 🙏
Excellent. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate I am 71 and suffering from pelvic stenosis. I will do the exercises regularly and recover soon.
I have had degenerative spinal discs L 3 through S1 for 32 years beginning with L 4-5 herniated in 1988. I have seen at least 10 surgeons over the years and many MRI’s to chronicle the gradual deterioration including facet hypertrophy and central snd foraminal stenosis. At 69 after 11 steroid transforaminal injections that helped keep me walking the central canal stenosis is really causing alot of pain spasms in glutes from standing up in the morning to things like caughing. I ham doing many if these exercises and they help. I hike on and off trail in the sierra nevada mountains 5-6 times s week 5 to 8 miles and like today the spasms in the glutes were strong on my hike starting slowly and steeply up a mountain slope. Fascinatingly by mile 3 or 4 the spasms subsided completely and i was able to hike slow and steady fir another 4 miles where i usually get pain waves going down hill. not this time. Moral of the story is do the stretches and exercises for the rest of your life and hike if you can uphill. I have been a seeious mountain hiker now for 50 years and my goal is to stay out of surgery, keep weight down, keep legs and abdominal core and back strong and hike till I drop! Good luck to all who suffer from spine problems and keep moving.
Thank you for watching. Consider subscribing to my channel. I have a lot of videos about chronic pain in my channel th-cam.com/users/DrAndreaFurlan
Yeah I have identical back issues as yours but a little more severe. I also have arthritis growing faster then the doctors would like to see in my lower spine as well. Ive already had back surgery for it and i'm back to square one with pain, except I can at least ride in a vehicle or sit. I finally gave up on stretching and trying to get out of this pain. The pain will always exist. Its just so freaking hard and hopeless feeling. But I shouldnt give up as I think it will get worse. I do absolutely nothing on the weekends because of my back and when monday rolls around Im so stiff and even worse off then I was 3 days before work on friday. But it feels like thats all I want to do is just lay around and not move because of the pain. My range of motion is so bad in the morning it takes every ounce of energy to get my work boots on in the morning. The nerve that is pulling and pinching that shoots down my glutes to. Cheers from Elko Nv... this is the crappiest condition to have at this age but I know there is worse.
@@nateb-runs5053 I'm sorry for all the pain you're suffering. I, too, have stenosis in L2, 3, 4 and 5 and it's so damned debilitating that all I can do is lay down when the pain starts getting too bad. I have Oxycodone that I take with two Tylenol, because acetaminophen boosts the efficacy of the Oxy, but I try to ration it for times when It's that, or jumping off a bridge.
I am going to watch this video and hope that Dr. Furlan's exercises will help me feel better. I DO NOT want back surgery. I've heard too many stories about people who ended up worse than before the surgery.
⁰
Thank you for that. It makes me hopeful. I am 62 and the spasms in my glutes are unbearable. I am afraid to never hike again, but you make me see it's still possible.
Hi Dr. Furman! Last January I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. I could not walk without pain. I found you on the internet and followed your ten exercises to do. Also you recommended omega 3. I have done these things faithfully and it wasn't too long before my walking got better. One year later I'm back to my usual distance of 3 kms. I am so grateful to have found you. Thank you!
Hi Colleen, I'm very happy that you got better. Please tell your doctor about it just to make sure there is nothing else that needs to be done. And maybe you can suggest your doctor to watch the video and recommen it to their patients too.
Hii Colleen.. I also have stenosis symptoms n I can't walk more than 5 minutes as pain comes after that..can you tell me in how many days these exercises improved your condition
My other has this and it hurts her so much.
@@anjaliyadav-vn7yz HI there Anjali ! It was a few weeks before I noticed a good improvement. I also do alot of stretching which helps. I had walking sticks and I had to use them to help me for any distance. I still use my walking sticks because they help to keep my posture straighter. I am very grateful that I can walk and will always do those 10 exercises.😊
@@colleenrafuse2974 thanku so much ...m also doing exercises let's see how much time it will take to improve...I request you to kindly help me with some suggestions n tips that u r using for your problem 😊
I had been diagnosed as having lumbar spinal stenosis from MRI. I could barely walk for ten minutes. As I have been doing your exercises from youtube for around two months, I can now walk for around 40 minutes at a stretch. So thank you very much for the exercises Doc.
Wonderful!
Э@@DrAndreaFurlan
This is easily the best TH-cam video for stenosis .
I'm very happy to hear that. Thank you.
I have been using all these excercises for my spinal stenosis for a few weeks now. I can walk farther and longer without stopping. Thank you for such a good video.
Great job!
I am using all of these exercise either of them help in no shape or form .
@@doreenedwards8671 Hi Doreen, please talk to your doctor and they might be able to help you with different strategies.
Ok
@@doreenedwards8671 A good physical therapist can work wonders for pain relief and for giving you exercises that are specific for your condition.
Dr.Furlan, what a great gift you are to people struggling with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. I learned so much from this amazing video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
What a brilliant summation of tactics to treat my nasty stenosis. Thank you so very much, Dr. Furlan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Dr Furlan, After 37 long years I have finally been diagnosed with spinal stenosis. I found your video & am doing your recommended exercises & must say that has been a major benefit to me! I cannot thank you enough for listing your videos on TH-cam! Highly recommended to those suffering with spinal stenosis.
Thank you for this comment. I'm glad to hear that you improved. Please make sure you talk to your doctor. Consider subscribing to this channel. I have many other videos that you might find useful.
This was the most detailed and comprehensive video I have ever seen on relieving the pain of stenosis as well as strengthening the muscles that can truly make a difference in the lives of stenosis sufferers like me. 👍
Wow, thank you!
Hearing people speak and share their stories on battling chronic back pain, I thought I shared my story...
I started out dianosed with Congenital Spinal Stenosis, Loss of Lumbar Lordosis(flatback syndrome) and as time progresses, my pain and other painful issues started arising...
*herniated disc
*disc bulging
*degenerated disc disease
*foraminal stenosis
*spinal spondyolitis
Just to name a few....
Throughout the years, of suffering and fighting the chronic back PAIN... it finally gave in on me(borderline paralysis)...so I had an emergency L4-L5 decompression, done to my lower back. After surgery, I had bladder issues and also alot of dead nerves... had to spend 4 years to rehabilitate...
And after 9 great years(38 yr. now), with slight and manageable pain....it has now returned to the max... and became a nightmare all over again. With depression to the max, and unbearable pains at times... some family/friend truly doesn't understand what I am going through. 🥺😮💨
I was always told that my back isnt really fixable, but can only be patched up(decrompression).
Anywho... to all the people suffering from chronic backpain... and depression... I FEEL YOU... keep fighting on 💪BECAUSE I AM.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Yeah I have identical back issues as yours and I'm only 32, been dealing with this on a severe level since 27. I also have arthritis growing faster then the doctors would like to see in my lower spine as well. Ive already had back surgery for it and I'm back to square one with pain and range of motion, except I can at least ride in a vehicle or sit now, as before it was so unbearable to go to work every morning it was unreal. I finally gave up on stretching and trying to get out of this pain because it feels absolutely hopeless with no end in site. My hamstrings are so freaking tight its unreal, cant stretch anymore because of that. The pain will always exist. Its just so freaking hard and tiresome mentally and physically. But I shouldn't give up as I think it will get worse if I do. I do absolutely nothing on the weekends because of my back and when monday rolls around Im so stiff and even worse off then I was 3 days before work on Friday. But it feels like that's all I want to do is just lay around and not move because of the pain. My range of motion is so bad in the morning it takes every ounce of energy to get my work boots on in the morning. The nerve that is pulling and pinching that shoots down my gluts to. Cheers from Elko Nv... this is the crappiest condition to have at this age but I know there is worse.
I had spinal stenosis to L4 and L5, six years ago, along with major surgery to take care of the problem I was having. I had a laminectomy, and they placed a cage and two rods along with screws in my back. I had relief for six years from my pain but now I have stenosis in the L2 and three. I have had several blocks done, but they were not effective except for about half an hour afterwards, which indicates that the stenosis can be helped. I had six weeks of physical therapy with no help whatsoever from that. I felt it was a waste of time and money. I am a nurse, so I do know what is going on with my body. I am currently scheduled to have the procedure done to cauterize the nerves on one side of my spine and then do the other side later on. But I realize I will not get very much result because of all the hardware in my back. The first surgeon I went to. He wanted to do the same surgery I had before, and I refused to have anymore hardware put in my back, I know that if this fails I can have the indwelling stimulator placed to relieve my pain. I am 82 years old now and I still work five mornings a week. The only time I have pain is when I stand or sit. I used to walk 3 miles a day but now I can’t even walk a block without the pain getting as high as eight, so it limits my ambulation, but I do walk frequently, I am excited to see the demonstration of exercises that I could use because even with PT I never was given any sort of exercises as these to help with the lumbar stenosis. I feel like I am 60 years old except for my back and people also think I am much younger, so I know I am not close to being dead yet, and I refuse to let my back make an invalid of me. Thank you so much for the videos and I am definitely going to start on them today because all I do right now is put ice on my back when I get in pain and that does relieve me for a while I have learned how to pace myself to keep the pain around a five when I am walking or standing. Thank you again.
Wonderful

Wonderful!
Thank you very much Dr. Furlan. As an MD who assesses and recommends postures and movements for patients with chronic low back pain, I really appreciate your descriptions in this video for patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. The explanations are very clear and the demonstrations easy to follow. I will definitely be recommending your video to patients.
Thank you for this comment.

I crawled to this life-giving video after an Indiana Medicaid treatment for spinal stenosis left me in agony at home alone for more than 2 weeks. (COBRA POSE and many repetitions of backwards flexion were instructed by a Physical Therapist who claimed in writing to relieve my back pain.) When I started Dr. Furlan's session, I could barely do the motions but I followed along to the end of the video. After one session, I am able to sit up in a chair. I will return daily to Dr. Furlan's generous share of genuine therapy for spinal stenosis and skip the unbelievable IU Health cure for intentional pain - Duloxetine 90 tablets x 7 refills. THANK YOU, DR. FURLAN for this common sense work-out for a debilitating condition.
I am glad you are feeling better!
Many thanks Dr.Furlan already put those exercises for my morning routine to avoid lumbar pain every day. Be safe.
You're most welcome!

Great to hear!

You are so funny. You already know these are the best exercises and you haven't tried them yet. Be sure to drink plenty of water or else no kind of exercise will help.
Really want to try these but need to know if I can do them when my stenosis flares up.

Thank you, Dr. Furlan. Just watched this today (8/04/2021) and I really enjoyed watching and listening to your exercises and advice. I'll start on these exercises tomorrow and will give you feedback after a month. My X-ray showed spinal stenosis but I also think I have piriformis syndrome because my back doesn't hurt, just my right butt down to my ankle. Pain is around 4-5 sitting down but standing up and walking, sometimes pain rises up to 8-10 with shooting pain as well. I'd appreciate your comment. Thank you!!!

Dr. Furlan, this is an excellent video & the exercises are all very valid. BUT... most people are older when they are diagnosed with spinal stenosis. After years of life's work, sports, accidents, etc. most of us have other medical /physical issues which prevent us from being able to do 80% of them. It makes relief a distant dream. I love the "shopping cart" reference. I always thought I'm the one who discovered that leaning over my shopping cart helps me make it through the store! 😁
Hi Stevie, thank you for sharing your experience with us. The good news is that a lot of people with spinal stenosis are able to do these exercises and feel better.
I have been using shopping carts for walkers since my heart transplant and stroke in 2002. They work great.
There are a lot of us out there. Dr Furlan is very helpful with her PT advice and demonstrations.
Shopping cart leaning is poor posture. I started doing this, bc I thought it helped.
Watch Bob & Brad physical therapy on youtube. Look up the posture one. It works!!!
They have great info for many problems.
@@DrAndreaFurlan yes, you are right. I am 64. May be if I regularly practice I may continue even after 70. Let me hope. I do feel my spinal stenosis pain is relieved to some extent after just 2 days 4 times, doing your suggested 10 exercises. One are two bit difficult but could manage. Don't know what I do is correct.

Diagnosed with spinal stenosis last week and have just found this video. Exercises look good, am going to start today . I don’t want to be dosed up on analgesia. Thank you. X
Please talk to your doctor.
@@DrAndreaFurlan I did yesterday, he has prescribed medication , and I’m for review in 3 weeks. I will
start doing your exercises also.
Thanks
I have had back trouble as long as I can remember. I was formally diagnosed with spinal stenosis in 2008 but I believe I had it plus cervical stenosis as early as 17 years old.Currently I’m dealing with osteoporosis and the results of bad posture, getting much worse. I’ve had 7 vertebral fractures In the last seven months. You can imagine how many doctors I have consulted. And none of them have explained spinal stenosis or the spinal column and easy to understand and visual way that you do. What is wrong with them! So many people like me, need a hand to hold and visuals. I have done so much reading on the Internet but I am most impressed WITH YOU And will follow your program diligently and share it with my sister who also has similar problems. 2023 will be different! Thanks . I have just subscribed to the channel and I am in the process of sending this particular video to several people

You are welcome.
Just found you. Thanks. I find you encouraging and calming. I am looking forward to watching more. I have chronic pain and 81 years old. I've become a recluse. Love your style and timing. I was able to do movements with you like in a class.

Everything is just perfect thank you so much God bless everything associated to you
I love all your exercise very relaxing thanks Dr Furlan
Glad you like them!
Thank you again for this useful video. I have been doing these exercises for many months and they help my walks. One additional technique I recently adopted greatly helped me walk without getting a sharp pain in my back. This is nordic walking with sticks. I can walk longer, with better posture, and get exercise for my upper body as well. I encourage others with spinal stenosis to try it, as well as Dr. Furlan to comment. Best of luck to all.
Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE my Nordic walking sticks!
Her home. Exercises it's like a very good teacher looks like just what I need. I will do this workout be for a walk today.
Thank you for such a comprehensive and useful video--I look forward to implementing these exercises since I recently was diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis. I really appreciate the downloadable handout, too!
Glad it was helpful!
Such a beautifully made video! Thank You Dr Andrea for your time, study, and exercise’s😊💖✨🧚♀️🍃🌊🌞🧿!

I've found that I can do the pelvic tilt even when I'm driving in my car. I do deliveries, and if my back starts hurting while I'm working, I'll do them while I'm driving. It really helps!
Wow, that is a great idea. thank you for sharing.
Thank you Dr Furlan! These sets of exercises are exactly what I need to work on daily. A few I knew already, but I intend to keep at them all regularly as I cannot live with my pain level indefinitely. Many thanks for your expert advice! Glynis Rix. South Africa.

Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so very much ,your exercises are a definite answer to my issues .your amazing!
Glad you like them!
thankyou sister god bless you
Welcome 😊
Thank you for your videos! I am familiar with most of the exercises but feel more confident doing it with you. I find other fitness type apps or videos intimidating because they focus on reps within time limits. But this is more encouraging and no pressure. It is nice to feel that personal connection with small steps to reach simple goals that are totally achievable and results are therefore guaranteed :)
You are so welcome!

desperate because I can't make 10 steps. I've got a spinal stenosis. I think after covid 19. Thank you, you are not only do for, but a born teacher.
You are very welcome
This video is excellent and I will do these exercises. I have a question if the prayer pose and chair stretch should be avoided if someone has an artificial hip.
It is better to ask the orthopaedic surgeon who did the surgery. They know which approach they used (anterior, posteror or lateral).
I have fairly severe spinal stenosis and stay very active. But I can only walk about a mile before I have to sit. I am most comfortable on my horse, probably because of the pelvic tilt involved. Because I do all these exercises (not cycle though) and do a lot of walking on the spot and yoga, I am probably doing as much as I can. Your video reinforced that. Thank you.
Than you Doris!
I WISH I could walk a mile!! I can’t manage a block!!!
Me either
I am an avid equestrian too and diagnosed with spinal stenosis and disc herniations. Question, does horseback riding worsen these conditions?
Great exercises Dr. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Many blessings for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼
You are so welcome Gloria. God bless you.
Thanks so much. I don't have pain, am grateful for this, am hoping that these exercises will help the cramps and cold feet that I get.

Hello Dr. Andrea Furlan
I have doing this exercise for about ten days and I can walk better and more distance and I am so happy. I talked to my doctor and he told me beside stenosis I have sciatica as well, now should I continue with this exercise or I have to combine with sciatica as well. Thanks for the wonderful videos you created for everyone.

I've finally got a diagnosis of Spinal Stenosis from the VA. I've been complaining for 19 months.

Now, the problem can be addressed with the proper physical therapy and at home TH-cam videos.

I'm just coming across your video and what you described is exactly my situation...Hip osteoarthritis, lumbar spondylitis or stenosis with severe low backache and pains down to the legs especially on walking,. I'm most times sitting or lying down and scared of trying to walk except I take pain killers.. I will try and start up these exercises and see how far I can go. Thanks.
❤Gracias Dr Furlan😊
I learn two new exercises with you today. God Bless you🙏
Very Helpfull.

This is an excellent video and agrees with my current therapy as assigned by a leading Chiropractor/PT.
