My Dad is 87 years old and I have been trying to help him stay fit. He has sciatica and that is what has started the decline to his health. I told him about your videos and he started doing them. He is feeling much better and is already starting to walk better! I can't wait to see the results over the next couple of weeks! Thank you so much it means a lot.
I've had these sciatica for several years. It is in my left side and runs all the way down my leg. I've tried pain killers and rubs. Also been getting Chiropractor adjustment since April. It got a lot better for awhile but is now back. Will this plan help me?
I am a 75 year old male. I have always been active. I am a dyi’er, and gardener. Three weeks ago I had my first, ever, sciatic nerve pain. I haven’t been able to get better doing some stretches others told me about. I started looking at your vlog this morning and after doing them, I can feel the improvement. I will continue doing these stretches, it will continue looking at all your other videos and incorporate the stretches you show into a regular morning routine. Thank you ever so much.
You saved my life. Just a few moment before I was unable to move because of my pain.But as soon as I did your exercise I felt my pain has gone forever. Magical power. In all my life I never commented or pressed a button in what so ever social media.
Thank you so much, sir! I have been writhing in pain for the last three days. I couldn't lie down, I couldn't sit, I couldn't even walk. That's when I searched on youtube, and found this. This gave me immediate relief. I can now lie on my back. I got immediate relief. Thank you so much sir! I'm crying in happiness. May the God bless you and your family 💜
I will try these stretches/exercises as soon as I get home. I have been suffering from sciatic pain/nerve pain for 3 months now. I’ve been going to a chiropractor, helped some, but I still have symptoms. I am starting to lose hope & I cry so much because the tingling/pain, radiates down my calves to my toes. I hope this works 🥹♥️♥️

Hi doctor I'm from Georgia-Sakartvelo🇬🇪 It's very interesting video. I have spinal hernia more than 4 years. Can this problem be solved only by exercises? What do you think about the operation?How dangerous is childbirth with this problem?
Many thanks, I've been looking for "sciatic neuropathy mayo clinic" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Sonictoria Stupefying Smasher - (just google it )? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to stopping your sciatica minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.
Have siaetic long time fed up wit to many pain it's unbearable but after watching this video will try it thank u for sharing this video much appreciated may God bless you and your family wit gracefulness an thankfulness 🙏 for helping others like myself,
Thank you, Doc. I’ve been having this sciatica for days now, and it’s painfully killing me. I searched on TH-cam an exercise for this to help me relieve the pain, and i came to have found your video. Watching and following the exercises in your video helps a lot. Thank you, and more power.
It's so amazing that this video popped up for me today! I'm a 65 year-old woman, and I've had sciatic nerve problems for years, but yesterday I reached an all-time low. I bent over just a little to reach for something on a low shelf. I kind of felt something "give", and then found I couldn't straighten up. The pain in my lower back was horrendous. I literally had to take tiny baby steps to the recliner. Each step was excruciating, no exaggeration. Back in the day we would have said my back "went out." I was pretty much stuck there all day. By bedtime I was able to slowly make my way up to bed. It's not quite as severe today, but is still in bad shape. I'm going to try these exercises. Thank you for making them available!
Oh Paula I'm so sorry to hear this story! Lots of ice and anti-inflammatories should help along with the gentle stretching demonstrated in this video. I hope they help you!
I'm 65, too and in agony - had ateroid shots, pain pills that don't even work, so anxious to try this because the only time my hip/leg isn't hurting like it's broken is if I can get to sleep! Good luck! I'm hopeful these will work!
I’ve been diagnosed with stenosis, I am so happy I found this channel… I’ve done it for a couple days, and it’s really helped with the pain already! Doug from Denver.
Thank you. My pain is gone completely within two days of doing exercises as shown by you. Had been suffering since 10 days and taking painkillers. Also the best part, you made me learn the underlying cause of my pain
Cheers for this, I have been researching "sciatic nerve pain sleeping" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Sonictoria Stupefying Smasher - (just google it )?

Even though this video is 4 years old at this point, I felt relief after one day of following the routine you laid out here. I've been doing these exercises for one week and the difference is amazing. I've also been seeing a great chiropractor. This video will help people with degenerative lower spine as long as they take this seriously and follow through.
@@kathybates1751 I've stopped using my chiropractor because I didn't like what they were telling me. Red flag #1 - they didn't recommend me seeing a physical therapist. Red flag #2 - they wanted me to use some stretching table that was not covered by insurance. I figured out that my sciatica pain was due to tight hamstrings (causes imbalances that tug on lower back muscles and ligaments) and as soon as I started stretching them...boom! No more sciatica! Everyone's situation is different and requires a different approach. Best of luck and health.
I have stenosis (L5-S1, creeping up to L4 now). Diagnosed in 2008ish when I was roughly 36. Thanks for explaining what it is! You did better at explaining it than some of the medical professionals I have had over the years. These are great stretches. I have back stretches to do every day (given by PT) but sometimes they are not enough, especially on days when the sciatica (or "not sciatica" as I call it because it's not a true sciatica) hurting more than usual, which is what got me to find this video. I do morning yoga every day when I wake up. My doctors (spine, chiro and GP) like that I'm so into yoga since it helps so much.
I’ve tried a number of different sciatica relief posts and this one actually results in hours without any pain at all. It’s easy to follow and effective. Thankyou!
I never understand how anyone taking their time to help people in pain can possibly get a thumbs down, but guess it’s the world we live in anyway thanks to you and your tiny wife for sharing. Gonna try what I can.
I'm in my early 50s and have been diagnosed with a thinned disc a few years ago after recovering from a few slipped discs in the past and recently have been struggling to manage the back pain and sciatica. My physio therapist has told me my right leg and pelvis is very weak compared to my left and his strengthening program wasn't really helping as quick as I would like, but these exercises have really helped. I can stand up for longer now and walking appears less painful after a while. Jared you are a star!
Thank you..I was suffering for sbout a month...after doing the exercises I was relieved instantanly...no more pain either on legs or back..just happened today itself..hope others benefit from your video...great..
Marius - This comment made my day! I am happy to hear it! Isn't it crazy how doing the right moves in the right way can take the pain away? I am so glad that it helped you. I wish you all the best!
I’ve been going through this pain for about four years now and I’m only 25 my right back hurts and that sometimes causes my butt cheeks to numb and I also shake a lot hopefully this exercises
Thank you Jared. I was in so much pain all week long. I got home and did the exercise and honestly my tears now is of serious RELIEF. Amazing! Thank you so much. I will be doing the 8 twice a day and following you for more. I honestly can't thank you enough. Blessings yall.🤗
TMichel - thank you for sharing this with me!! Stories like this are the best part of my job. I am so glad that this helped. I hope that you continue to get that relief you need. Best of luck to you!
I’m having this pain for over a week, but then I have no idea, I felt the from my waistline pain and my buttocks, all the way my legs was started tightness and tingling. I have so much pain and I can’t barely make a steps . It gets worse since we’re traveling for 18 hours but we made stops just 20 minutes every 2 hours, I noticed is getting worsened. I’m here in California To visits my family for 2 weeks. I’ve seen a Dr. Yesterday from this date , she wrote a Rx for me a Muscles Relaxer but I didn’t take it yet . I’m a Diabetic too which she’s aware . I’m going back home on next week at Washington State . Please I need your help. I’m flying back home.thank you so much
Yup I couldn’t straighten up to walk I was gimpy and the nerve was just keeping me low to the ground and the bed I was really uncomfortable. Laying on the ground not bed or mattress will also help 100%. Just lay flat for 10-15 minutes if you can
I love this!!!!!! Thanks for your video and time. I am 56 years old male, I ran a marathon six weeks ago...three days later I experienced pain and tightness in my left hip and sitting bone..This morning Came back from the orthopedic MD, from my X-rays he told me I had DDD/arthritis. From your videos you explained much thoroughly that I have Piriformis/ sciatica issues ...Next week I am starting six week with a physical therapist 2x a week . Stretch and strength massage and Tylenol hot/cold therapy. Am glad to you have you on TH-cam for extra support !!!
God sent me to your vlog. The last 3 days I have been having sciatica pain and this morning after doing your exercises, a miracle has happened. Thank you so much Dr and your pretty wife. God bless y’all🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks to you and your wife for sharing these phenomenal stretches! Greatly appreciated. I suffer with sciatic but feel positive going forward with relief thanks to this routine you've created for everyone desperately needing relief!!!!
Im starting my own PT practise in South Africa and I'm making summaries of common pathologies and management strategies. Your videos are a GREAT source of information. Thank you for your information.
Thanks! This really helps my sciatica. I have spinal stenosis with degerative disc disease and herniations L5/S1 and L4/L5. Right now my herniations are under control but my stenosis is acting up and pinching my sciatica nerve. This really made me feel better. Will keep it up and move onto the strengthening excercises when the flare up has completely subsided. Been slacking on that and this is the result.
Cesar - You are welcome! I am glad that you found this info helpful! And thank you for your kind words about my wife - she is a good sport to help me with these videos! Have a great day.
These exercises and stretches have been a lot of help with my degenerated disc in sciatica nerve pain. I enjoyed doing the stretches it relieve my pain. And I will religiously continue to do them.
Hi. I'm actually suffering to sciatica. My back's hurts and I can't bend forward. Now I have this tingling sensation on my left feet. Wow! I just follow the exercise and stretching in this video and I can finally bend forward. Thank you so much. I'll do it again everyday. Thanks again! 😁
My heartfelt thanks to you Doc and to your wife.I've been suffering sciatic nerve pain for two years and this vedio help me lot and very effective..God bless you and more power..
Thanks for the strengthening exercises. I'm very familiar with the stretches but for some reason physios don't give me any strengthening. I think it's because I've practiced yoga for so long that I should know them all! Great video 😊😊😊
Hello, from Kidapawan City Philippines, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Thank you for your generosity of time, knowledge and kindness with yoir wife. ❤️👍🤗
I have watched 2 of your videos of 15 or so exercises for relieving pain in lowering back pain that radiates into hips and legs the scoop underneath curve of butt. My question is will these exercises work? soon as I stand that nerve in lower back punches so so ban I must press my knuckles into back to relieve pain and walk.
Vukica - thank you very much! I appreciate your kind comment! And I will pass it on to my wife . . . she will be happy to hear that it's helping people. Have a great day!
Hi! I have just started watching your videos and subscribed to your Chanel! I am wondering if you could do a video on RSI and wrist pain. I work in an office job and am experiencing pain in my wrist side of my palms ect. I would love some advice on exercises to help strengthen my wrist again! From Australia!
Georgina - thanks so much for subscribing! And that is a great suggestion - I will add it to the queue. I bet that that many would benefit from a video on that. Thanks for the comment.
I have today just consulted with an orthopedic specialist who suggest I may have DDD (stenosis ) subject to an MRI scan. I have already done these exercises which you demonstrate and found they did ease my pain. Thank you for this very useful demo. I will continue with these exercises until I get the results of my MRI scan.
Rodel Garcia - great question! I would recommend doing these every day - the more consistent you can be, the faster you will see/feel results. I hope that helps!
Thank you so much for these exercises. I am in pain daily. I wished you showed us how to get up properly after the exercises coz I always feel pain after laying down. Thank you and to your respectful wife. 🙏🙂
Hello thank you so much. These exercises helped me a lot with my sciatica. I had been sitting in the airplane for almost 8 hrs and after a few days I can’t barely walk because of the pain on my left leg, and I was afraid that it might be stenosis again.Had a spinal fusion in 2007 and 2015, lumbar vertebrae. Now I’m fine and walking. God bless
Hello! Your lovely assistant and her sisters are wonderful cooks! They are my go to for the best Instant Pot recipes. I have been experiencing lower back and left calf and foot pain/discomfort. Your video and explanation has helped me understand better what is going on. I’ve already watched three or four of your other videos to get me to this one. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
I've been struck with sciatica. You have done a great job with various videos of educating me about different rehab depending on the disc issue. I finally understand why the hyper extensions from McKenzie don't help me. I'm in Australia and just wanted to say thanks.
Thanks so much! I've been working from home since March due to COVID, and I'm an accountant so working from home is basically sitting allllll day long at my computer. I started getting sciatic nerve pain thanks to all the sitting and probably bad posture, and this is helping a ton! The content is much appreciated
Dear these exercises r simple nd helpful for backach. U nd ur better half done very simply which by doing relieved me. Thanx a lot i found u on utube. Stay blessed
Thank you so much for the best explanation of the cases and pain related to those cases. Can you please make a video for those who are maintaining their siatica due to disc disgreneration and stenosis for last 20 years . I am dealing with this tingling from 22 years of my age and now I am 45 years old. By doing exercises , I have kept myself very active n strong too. Sometimes due to some activities like running or playing , I do flare my tingling in legs , pain in hips / buttocks or keens. At that point I slow down a bit , do some mindful stretching n exercises shown by you snd again m good to go. I feel that my core is stronger than before and I want to keep myself active n fit always. I love being active . Can you please make video on how to maintain these problems for long term and how to keep onself very active with these problem . In my opinion no pain can stop us if our will to be healthy is stronger !! Please help. 🙏
Thank you really good exercises for my sciatica problem. You did a good job explaining them and your Diane Lane look like wife is the perfect model for these exercises
Thank you for the video. It’s helps me a lot . I had worst back pain and after watching you video I know that this is sciatica. And I did all exercises what you have taught,and it’s been a week only I have performed exercises, I am feeling pretty much better.I am really thankful.. May god bless you.
Thank you so much! I created this pain, because I was no longer able to get PT, because of lock down.. I developed hip flexor spasms which were themselves secondary to another injury. I got so frustrated that I did a really aggressive Pigeon Pose, and wham! Now that I am seeing my PT again, and have so many other problems, I think this got misdiagnosed. Obviously, stenosis is not something you create doing one aggressive stretch. But the pain is from irritating the nerve, not from the stenosis itself, right? Especially now, people really need this kind of information. Thank you so much for giving the public access to this kind of differential diagnosis. As soon as you covered that, I knew exactly what caused this pain. I have spent years trying to correct a posterior pelvic tilt, using the work of Katy Bowman, so I have been really frustrated by the fact that tilting anteriorly makes this particular pain worse. But now I get it. I am so grateful!
During the first set of exercises my lumbar at rest could reproduce audible back cracking sounds with tiny supine arches..sadly..yet much relief as I progressed completing ea stretch as advised. Clearly immediate improvement. Obviously this needs to be at least a QOD performance. A result after 40 years of extreme sports. Such a handsome couple. I love PTs having worked with them during my career as an RN. Thanks so much.
Wow thank goodness I found you I have started the hamstring stretches it’s really stopped me limping the drs couldn’t find what was wrong my son put me on to you 🥰
I found your channel this evening I enjoyed your informative way of treating pain. I have sciatica, spinal stenosis, herniated disc and arthritis I know I am a mess. I have been taking injections and recently the pain has increased. I am hopefully your stretches will help.
Thank you is a very small word, I was in a intense pain and I had no solution for this due to Covid and fortunately I saw your video on TH-cam and it really work and I was not able to walk from my left leg but only after two days exercise. I started walking sir... once again thank you so much you are doing a great cause for humanity. God bless you and your all family members.
Hello. I would like to thank you for all the hard work you put into these very informative and helpful videos. I have got : . Diffuse disc bulge noted at L3/4 level indenting the thecal sac causing bilateral neural foraminal stenosis and abuts the bilateral traversing nerve roots. Diffuse disc bulge noted at L4/5 level indenting the thecal sac. Mild disc height reduction noted at L5/S1 level. Asymmetrical disc bulge noted at L5/S1 level with annular tear and posterocentral and para central foraminal disc component indenting the thecal sac causing right neural foraminal stenosis and impinges the right traversing nerve roots. What set of exercises would you recommend? At present I don't have any radiating pain. I just experience some stiffness in the morning and some lumbar region soreness from sitting for prolonged period. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you again.
Thank you for your incredibly helpful videos. Dr. Jared, you are God send. Doctors are just prescribing pain killers. Nothing really helps. But with your exercises I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My problem is DDD. Thank so much.
Hello. Thank you very much for helping us to feel better. I just watched your video about the exercises for degenerative spinal changes and I wonder if there is anything else we can do to improve our condition. I have been suffering from a chronic back pain for the past 20 years. It started from a slightly bulging disk L4-L5 and as of today I have a multiple herniations at the lower back with a degenerative changes at one level. I have been experiencing bilateral radiation starting most of the time from my knees towards my feet. The pain alternates. I have been doing your exercises for a week and I feel better afterwards. When I get up in the morning, the pain comes back. I don’t want to go for any major surgery and I have been trying to find anything that will help me to get through the day. I did the physical therapy for a while but it didn’t seem to work. I was doing the exercises that actually messed up side of my hip and had to stop. I am looking for an advice from you as a professional . Thank you very much for all your help.
Great Sir, I see too many video, in one of your videos has one exercises which suited most, shown style with dummy/pictures anatomy more understandable spoted right cause of pain and relief the pain Thank your 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤓🤓
I have benefited so much from your video’s. I have DDD with sciatic nerve pain. These exercises are perfect and i feel so much better after doing these
I am totally onto what I just learned hear and will be watching this vid a number of times. Went to my chiropractor and correctly diagnosed my spinal canal stenosis and gave me some exercises to do but I now have a so much better understanding after all these years of what is really at play to help myself. This makes so much sense. I have sciatica only on my right calf and wear a compression hose which does the trick but I'm thinking the exercises above will really help. I also take a powdered callogen peptide supplement. Just a couple months in on the callogen but it can't hurt.
I do suffer from this however I have 2 rods and 8 screw holding my lumbar spine. They have been there for 30 years. Post 3 back surgeries, I don't want any more. Thanks for this video!!!!
I’m excited to start. I’ve just had shoulder surgery, but the sciatica in my back has been horrible. It is due to stenosis, so I’m thrilled to find your exercises.
My Dad is 87 years old and I have been trying to help him stay fit. He has sciatica and that is what has started the decline to his health. I told him about your videos and he started doing them.

I’m having this pain for over a week, but then I have no idea, I felt the from my waistline pain and my buttocks, all the way my legs was started tightness and tingling. I have so much pain and I can’t barely make a steps . It gets worse since we’re traveling for 18 hours but we made stops just 20 minutes every 2 hours, I noticed is getting worsened. I’m here in California To visits my family for 2 weeks. I’ve seen a Dr. Yesterday from this date , she wrote a Rx for me a Muscles Relaxer but I didn’t take it yet . I’m a Diabetic too which she’s aware . I’m going back home on next week at Washington State . Please I need your help. I’m flying back home.thank you so much
Yup I couldn’t straighten up to walk I was gimpy and the nerve was just keeping me low to the ground and the bed I was really uncomfortable. Laying on the ground not bed or mattress will also help 100%. Just lay flat for 10-15 minutes if you can
I love this!!!!!! Thanks for your video and time. I am 56 years old male, I ran a marathon six weeks ago...three days later I experienced pain and tightness in my left hip and sitting bone..This morning Came back from the orthopedic MD, from my X-rays he told me I had DDD/arthritis. From your videos you explained much thoroughly that I have Piriformis/ sciatica issues ...Next week I am starting six week with a physical therapist 2x a week . Stretch and strength massage and Tylenol hot/cold therapy. Am glad to you have you on TH-cam for extra support !!!

Thanks for taking time to make this video and your have a good heart lwiil do it thank
Thanks! This really helps my sciatica. I have spinal stenosis with degerative disc disease and herniations L5/S1 and L4/L5. Right now my herniations are under control but my stenosis is acting up and pinching my sciatica nerve. This really made me feel better. Will keep it up and move onto the strengthening excercises when the flare up has completely subsided. Been slacking on that and this is the result.
Thank you, very valuable info, and ur wife does a great job.
Cesar - You are welcome! I am glad that you found this info helpful! And thank you for your kind words about my wife - she is a good sport to help me with these videos! Have a great day.

Thanks for the strengthening exercises. I'm very familiar with the stretches but for some reason physios don't give me any strengthening. I think it's because I've practiced yoga for so long that I should know them all! Great video 😊😊😊
Kirsty, you are welcome! I am glad that I could help with some of the strengthening stuff. And yoga is awesome! Keep it up! Thanks for the comment.

You're so welcome, kevin holder! I know it can be painful and I hope this video is helpful.
I have watched 2 of your videos of 15 or so exercises for relieving pain in lowering back pain that radiates into hips and legs the scoop underneath curve of butt. My question is will these exercises work? soon as I stand that nerve in lower back punches so so ban I must press my knuckles into back to relieve pain and walk.
I have spinal stenosis, have gone on an anti-inflammatory diet and it worked beautifully!
Thanks for sharing!
I'm getting more pain on last stretch. Should i do this. What streches do you suggest me

Hi! I have just started watching your videos and subscribed to your Chanel!
I am wondering if you could do a video on RSI and wrist pain. I work in an office job and am experiencing pain in my wrist side of my palms ect. I would love some advice on exercises to help strengthen my wrist again!
From Australia!
Georgina - thanks so much for subscribing! And that is a great suggestion - I will add it to the queue. I bet that that many would benefit from a video on that. Thanks for the comment.
I have today just consulted with an orthopedic specialist who suggest I may have DDD (stenosis ) subject to an MRI scan. I have already done these exercises which you demonstrate and found they did ease my pain. Thank you for this very useful demo. I will continue with these exercises until I get the results of my MRI scan.
You are welcome, Haemish Kane! I hope these exercises continue to help you! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you sir..
Only Gems - you are welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Thank you for your information and instruction which are very helpful . I shall practise the exercise accordingly. 🙏

Rodel Garcia - great question! I would recommend doing these every day - the more consistent you can be, the faster you will see/feel results. I hope that helps!

Thank you both for this lovely helping video
Our pleasure!
Thank you so much for these exercises. I am in pain daily. I wished you showed us how to get up properly after the exercises coz I always feel pain after laying down. Thank you and to your respectful wife. 🙏🙂
Hello thank you so much. These exercises helped me a lot with my sciatica. I had been sitting in the airplane for almost 8 hrs and after a few days I can’t barely walk because of the pain on my left leg, and I was afraid that it might be stenosis again.Had a spinal fusion in 2007 and 2015, lumbar vertebrae. Now I’m fine and walking. God bless
You are so welcome, Betty!
Hello! Your lovely assistant and her sisters are wonderful cooks! They are my go to for the best Instant Pot recipes. I have been experiencing lower back and left calf and foot pain/discomfort. Your video and explanation has helped me understand better what is going on. I’ve already watched three or four of your other videos to get me to this one. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
You are so welcome, Sara! I am so glad this helped you and I will let Camille know! Thank you!
This is the perfect video that gave me all the relief i need, Thank you
I'm so glad! Thank you for sharing!
Another excellent presentation. I can already tell I will benefit from these exercises. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing. Am in the middle of a severe episode of sciatica and this gave me some hope
You are welcome, Paul! I hope it helps!
I've been struck with sciatica. You have done a great job with various videos of educating me about different rehab depending on the disc issue. I finally understand why the hyper extensions from McKenzie don't help me. I'm in Australia and just wanted to say thanks.
When ever I got any pain I just search for your video to exercise
It always helps me
Thanks 🙏
I appreciate that and am glad you are finding my content valuable!
Thanks so much! I've been working from home since March due to COVID, and I'm an accountant so working from home is basically sitting allllll day long at my computer. I started getting sciatic nerve pain thanks to all the sitting and probably bad posture, and this is helping a ton! The content is much appreciated
You are so welcome, Kylie! Sitting all day can be so hard on our bodies!
Same experience Kylie. Hope this is nothing serious and gets better with these exercises. Thank you doc.
i also got scatica because of long hours sitting and it also sucks my life. Can taking medicine also help
Same here

Great to hear, khalid mian! I am happy you are feeling better and thanks for commenting!
Thank you so much for the best explanation of the cases and pain related to those cases.
Can you please make a video for those who are maintaining their siatica due to disc disgreneration and stenosis for last 20 years . I am dealing with this tingling from 22 years of my age and now I am 45 years old. By doing exercises , I have kept myself very active n strong too. Sometimes due to some activities like running or playing , I do flare my tingling in legs , pain in hips / buttocks or keens. At that point I slow down a bit , do some mindful stretching n exercises shown by you snd again m good to go. I feel that my core is stronger than before and I want to keep myself active n fit always.
I love being active . Can you please make video on how to maintain these problems for long term and how to keep onself very active with these problem . In my opinion no pain can stop us if our will to be healthy is stronger !!
Please help. 🙏
This is a very helpful video. The exercises are easy and they help so much. So grateful to you all for creating this .
Thank you, Lori! I am so glad this was helpful for you!
Really help full video. For arched lower back please suggest exercises?
Thank you. It's a great help for my legs and back pain.
Thank you really good exercises for my sciatica problem. You did a good job explaining them and your Diane Lane look like wife is the perfect model for these exercises
Thank you so much!
Thank you thank you thank you. You have been the answer to my prayers.
You are so welcome, Michael!
Best physical therapist on TH-cam!!
You are so kind, Maverick! I really appreciate your comment!
Amazinggggg , i just have one question, is it the more the better or we've to do just a couple of times, i feel so good after doing it, thank you doc
I've had sciatic pain. And I'm recognizing alot of these poses from Yoga class.
Thank you for the video. It’s helps me a lot .
I had worst back pain and after watching you video I know that this is sciatica. And I did all exercises what you have taught,and it’s been a week only I have performed exercises, I am feeling pretty much better.I am really thankful.. May god bless you.
You are welcome! I am so glad to hear you are feeling better and thanks for sharing!
You most welcome 🙂and keep helping
Thank you so much! I created this pain, because I was no longer able to get PT, because of lock down.. I developed hip flexor spasms which were themselves secondary to another injury. I got so frustrated that I did a really aggressive Pigeon Pose, and wham!
Now that I am seeing my PT again, and have so many other problems, I think this got misdiagnosed. Obviously, stenosis is not something you create doing one aggressive stretch. But the pain is from irritating the nerve, not from the stenosis itself, right?
Especially now, people really need this kind of information. Thank you so much for giving the public access to this kind of differential diagnosis. As soon as you covered that, I knew exactly what caused this pain.
I have spent years trying to correct a posterior pelvic tilt, using the work of Katy Bowman, so I have been really frustrated by the fact that tilting anteriorly makes this particular pain worse. But now I get it. I am so grateful!
You are so welcome! I am so glad this information was helpful for you!
During the first set of exercises my lumbar at rest could reproduce audible back cracking sounds with tiny supine arches..sadly..yet much relief as I progressed completing ea stretch as advised. Clearly immediate improvement. Obviously this needs to be at least a QOD performance. A result after 40 years of extreme sports.
Such a handsome couple. I love PTs having worked with them during my career as an RN.
Thanks so much.
Wow thank goodness I found you I have started the hamstring stretches it’s really stopped me limping the drs couldn’t find what was wrong my son put me on to you 🥰
Awesome news!
I found your channel this evening I enjoyed your informative way of treating pain. I have sciatica, spinal stenosis, herniated disc and arthritis I know I am a mess. I have been taking injections and recently the pain has increased. I am hopefully your stretches will help.
Best of luck!
It's working...I am getting relief 👍 thank you 🙏
Great to hear and thanks for sharing!
thanks a lot ... this session was very helpful in my sciatic pain. God bless you both and all the best for your future
You are very welcome! I am glad it was helpful and thank you for sharing!
Thank you is a very small word, I was in a intense pain and I had no solution for this due to Covid and fortunately I saw your video on TH-cam and it really work and I was not able to walk from my left leg but only after two days exercise. I started walking sir... once again thank you so much you are doing a great cause for humanity. God bless you and your all family members.
@@meenukashyap5791 aapko kya problem thi and kitne time se thi and aapko kitna time laga isko theek karne mein?
This guy is awesome. Thank you for being alive and helpful.
Thank you so much, Rob Hillard! I am happy to help and I appreciate your support!
thank you so so much for these exercises , very illustrative .
You're very welcome! I hope they help you.
Hello. I would like to thank you for all the hard work you put into these very informative and helpful videos. I have got :
. Diffuse disc bulge noted at L3/4 level indenting the thecal sac causing bilateral neural foraminal stenosis and abuts the bilateral traversing nerve roots.
Diffuse disc bulge noted at L4/5 level indenting the thecal sac.
Mild disc height reduction noted at L5/S1 level.
Asymmetrical disc bulge noted at L5/S1 level with annular tear and posterocentral and para central foraminal disc component indenting the thecal sac causing right neural foraminal stenosis and impinges the right traversing nerve roots.
What set of exercises would you recommend? At present I don't have any radiating pain. I just experience some stiffness in the morning and some lumbar region soreness from sitting for prolonged period. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you again.
Thank you so much and you are welcome!
Thank you for your incredibly helpful videos. Dr. Jared, you are God send. Doctors are just prescribing pain killers. Nothing really helps. But with your exercises I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My problem is DDD. Thank so much.
I appreciate your comment so much! Thanks, Joanne!
Hello. Thank you very much for helping us to feel better. I just watched your video about the exercises for degenerative spinal changes and I wonder if there is anything else we can do to improve our condition. I have been suffering from a chronic back pain for the past 20 years. It started from a slightly bulging disk L4-L5 and as of today I have a multiple herniations at the lower back with a degenerative changes at one level. I have been experiencing bilateral radiation starting most of the time from my knees towards my feet. The pain alternates. I have been doing your exercises for a week and I feel better afterwards. When I get up in the morning, the pain comes back. I don’t want to go for any major surgery and I have been trying to find anything that will help me to get through the day. I did the physical therapy for a while but it didn’t seem to work. I was doing the exercises that actually messed up side of my hip and had to stop. I am looking for an advice from you as a professional . Thank you very much for all your help.
Thanks sir for your valuable information to heal sciatica pain 🙏
My pleasure!
Great Sir, I see too many video, in one of your videos has one exercises which suited most, shown style with dummy/pictures anatomy more understandable spoted right cause of pain and relief the pain
Thank your 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤓🤓
You are welcome! I hope you found this video helpful!
I have benefited so much from your video’s. I have DDD with sciatic nerve pain. These exercises are perfect and i feel so much better after doing these
Thanks so much! I am glad these have been helpful for you!
How long did it take for you to minimize your pain and for how long did you suffer from DDD
I am totally onto what I just learned hear and will be watching this vid a number of times. Went to my chiropractor and correctly diagnosed my spinal canal stenosis and gave me some exercises to do but I now have a so much better understanding after all these years of what is really at play to help myself. This makes so much sense. I have sciatica only on my right calf and wear a compression hose which does the trick but I'm thinking the exercises above will really help. I also take a powdered callogen peptide supplement. Just a couple months in on the callogen but it can't hurt.
Listening to this man I wish I can talk with you to get some help with all of my severe back and leg pain.
Thankyou I enjoyed your sciatic lesson. I feel relaxed
You’re welcome 😊 So glad it helped.
Hi Jared these exercises helped my bulged disc I need help with my neck SOS
I do suffer from this however I have 2 rods and 8 screw holding my lumbar spine. They have been there for 30 years. Post 3 back surgeries, I don't want any more. Thanks for this video!!!!
Hi Jared your presentation is absolutely great. Thank you.
Blessings
You are so welcome, Haydee! I appreciate your support and I hope this helps!
I’m excited to start. I’ve just had shoulder surgery, but the sciatica in my back has been horrible. It is due to stenosis, so I’m thrilled to find your exercises.
I hope they help, Deborah!
