Thanks Doc for the simple exercise you showed and suggested. Been having lower back pain and feeling those pain in the back. I will do those simple exercise. More power to you doc.
This exercise was what i did for years and it did help with my sciatica pain that would shoot through my buttocks, but now those sciatica pain have disappeared instead i now have neuropathy and numbness that goes down my leg and my feet. It makes walking long distances a problem, i know have to bend forward to ease my symptoms. I have a feeling this exercise as described above worsened my problem. Any thoughts??
Recently got Sciatica and when I lie down to sleep,immediately tingling,numbness starts from toe to other fingers to foot of the leg.On both the legs.My sleep gets affected. Will try this.
Excellent Video! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Incredible Rapper Reality (google it)? It is a smashing one off guide for ending your chronic peripheral neuropathy or diabetic nerve pain minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my BF at last got astronomical success with it.

Great sir.. I m suffering frm Lowe back, left hip - foot pain & numbness fr d past 1 month. Cant get up frm bed., stand, sit. Pain will radiate in 10 sec if i do so. I've tried ur suggested stretching today and found 70% ok to stand and sit. Thank you.. 🌾💐✨🙏
I have degenerating discs not herniated discs. Are these exercises helpful for that type of disease? The pain is similar, but the causes are somewhat different.
Hi, Dr Lin, this is very clearly demonstrated, thank you. I have a swollen spleen (twice the size) and am diagnosed with spinal stenosis. How might these conditions affect this exercise, please?
I did today and after the first round I could feel heat in the area which make me feel much comfortable. The pain leaves once I am done. How long will it take to fully heal?
Thanks for great demonstration with speech. I wish you'd show a kyphotic patient do it, with a bamboo back and protruded head. I cannot even do your starting position now. What can and must I do myself firstly? Go to bed early despite only getting a few hours sleep then? Start going for daily walks despite needing professional help since decades and despite being burnt out and depressed? (HAve severe Liver- and Kidney dysfunction imbalances since childhood, from developmental emotional trauma by a traumatized mother. -Be well.
Am 64 yr old 310 lbs ,1991 ruptured disc L4 L5, 2013 spinal fusion. I need to lose 10 lbs for knee replacement surgery. I have tingling, numbness and swelling of my foot, calf & knee. I workout daily with resistance bands. I'm do 4x15 squats & pushups 4x weekly, can't do lunges. I do get sciatica spams at night sometimes. My question to you, how can I reduce the swelling & tingling of my foot? I don't consume salt. I'm not diabetic.
I'm in back pain with just standing up for more than 10 minutes and before I know it I am hunched over in pain and can no longer stand or walk. Suddenly over one night my feet began to feel as though they had been dipped in glue but just the toe area on each foot now it feels like the bottom of my foot is numb and some days are worse than others. I know I spend way too much time in bed but as I said when I try to move around it becomes agonising. I was very active and had some back pain when I was younger but it has increased in the last 12 years where I am in bed almost constantly. I am trying this exercise but I cannot get on my hands and Arch although it feels good to stretch my feet and slightly Arch my back. I guess I'm asking you if I am a candidate for this exercise?
I am Pratap 57 yrs I am suffering From sciatica in right leg since Nov. 2019 and having numbness and tingling in right leg. And having lower back pain. Please advise me accurate exercise so that i can cure My sciatica problem.
Hello doctor.. I am Abdul Basit from Pakistan. I am suffering from tingling and numbness in left three fingers of left foot and pain in upper side of Metatarsals of left foot for last month which os increasing for last two weeks, can you please suggeat any exercise?? regards
Dr! i have cyst in Lumbar that has caused numbness in Leg and my both Feet. How can i have better life without having complicated Neurosurgery?.. Doctors hold different opinions (i) Avoid Surgery (ii) Have Surgery.. Thus i am left with one option to consult Phsio. Lots of Love.
Watch from 1.08 am directly. Always come direct to point in your videos. Everyone using TH-cam researching has an understanding of what is their problem. You dont have to introduce your lecture in such a long winding way and taking far too long to introduce what your video thumbnail already does. Communicate effectively by coming straight to point. Save time for self and most importantly for others. Godbless.
Im doing this for the first time and noticed my back slight on the right is a bit of sore which my right foot also experiences numbness especially worsens while lying on bed. About how many times do i need to do before determining whether this exercise is for me?
Dr. Lin the numbness that i felt that caused my hospitalization eventually it was a mild stroke according to my physician, there was a blot clot in my left part of my brain, so the day I was admitted up to the present I wrote to you it is still the numbness of my left foot up to my left part of my body and head . I hope you will give me some of your advices, though I am taking my medicines as maintenace of the hypertensions..
The exercise is great for most people and my physio gave me the same exercise and completely messed it up. Just look at the video and now think you have a herniated disc pinching nerve towards the inside. The pose in this video creating that curve in your lower back would be putting pressure on the disc pinching the nerve even more. The therapist did give a warning in the end so if anyone has a herniated disc compressing cauda equina, for the love of God/sciene, please don't do this exercise. Talk to a spinal specialist and depending if the disc is bulgding in/out/side, the curve of back needs to be the other way to release that compression and not compressing it even more. My physio gave me the same exercise and now I am in much worse position and looking at surgery as only option but I am trying non-surgical spinal decompression to see if that helps.
I have also had worsened effect. I have disc prolapse and pressure on cadua equina. Then I was hospitalized and in a bed rest of 1 month to get over from its effects.
I am 2 weeks out from ha ING surgery on L5 S1 discectomy. Well had followup appointment yesterday and was beyond upset when I left. He not only had pain described from sciatica in my notes which is incorrect but insisted that is what I had. I have had pain in low back wrapping around hip to groin running down INSIDE of leg (NOT the back Of leg!) Stopping at knee and pinching it really hard on the inside of knee and wrapping around the knee we. Since surgery it had intensified BUT biggest worry is the added symptoms of numbness and pain running g down left side of buttox down outside and back of the leg. Like it is sleeping but yet throbbing pain all over the area from top to foot including last two toes and heal. Walking is a task now because controlling all of it to move properly is difficult and painful. Need to know what to do at this point. Surgeon very argumentative about it and stated he fixed the bulging disc and this is part of the healing process. I advised my pain management Dr gave me relief in the area I had described (which he stated was not in his notes it was sciatica pain!) I asked if he could check with him as to where the injection was placed that gave me relief. Surgeon stated that was not something he would do or have to do. So the left hand won't know what the right did or has done!!! So frustrated. I will try your exercise lightly because I don't think I can make it to the fully extended position. If you have any input on my dilemma please advise. Thank You, Lori Kretschmar
I am not a doc just a fellow low back pain patient. I can't tell you what is wrong with you but maybe Get a second or third opinion? and keep going to physical therapy. If therapest is no good try another. I have 2 bulging disc's and spinal stenosis. first doc wanted to operate. The thing is he told me surgery won't necessarily help the pain in my back it Only will help pain in legs. I went to a second doc and a new physical therapist. The pain went away mostly for 2 years without surgery. Unfortunately for me it came back 1 month ago out of nowhere and I can't walk or get out of bed. I am going to doc this week. I know how frustrating this can be and it takes a toll mentally and physically but never give up just keep fighting.

My sciatica problem.
How frequently and for what duration should someone do this?
This helped a little bit, but I think what will help tremendously is losing weight on my back. The excessive weight is pushing down on my spinal cord.
strengthening your spinal muscles might also help
Does loosing weight work? Are u better now?
