I am so very happy that I came across this video. I'm 69 years old and I have had severe pain in my right lower back and hip for a solid year. My medical doctor prescribed muscle relaxants which did nothing. I went to a chiropractor, and he did his thing on my back, and it did nothing. I watched every back pain video on TH-cam, did the stretches, and nothing worked. I had given up and accepted I would have this pain for the rest of my life. Your video popped up last week and I really was not going to watch another video and be disappointed again. I don't know why I changed my mind, but I watched it and tried the stretch which was totally new and different than anything I had tried before. From that very first stretch I knew and felt that this was different.....I actually felt slight relief. Well, I have been doing the stretch faithfully twice a day for 2 weeks and my back is so much better and progressively getting better daily. I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I highly recommend it to anyone suffering this type of back pain. THANK YOU!
This ONE exercise, in ONE day, my lower back pain is almost totally gone! I am 57 and have daily pain from head to toes. Multiple reasons but age shouldn't be one. So Thank You isn't enough to tell you what this one exercise has given back to me! With tears of joy and a heartfelt THANK YOU!!!! Keep doing what you are doing and I will be forever grateful! Jennifer
I want to thank you. This 5:13-second video saved me. I'm quite active. I exercise a couple of hours a day, however, I have a desk job and I sit all day long. My lower back was killing me. It got so bad that I hadn't worked out for several weeks because the pain was just too bad. I started these stretches, and within 2 days (I performed the stretch for 1 minute on each side, three times a day) the pain had reduced substantially. By day 4, the pain was bearable. By day 6, it was completely gone. Thank you.
Dude......moments before I tried this I was LOCKED in lower back pain. Still taking it easy today, but this stretch just made my extreme immobility and pain give way to my regular....liquidy... free movement. The body is scary and amazing. Thanks for this.
Amen! The Lord’s creation is amazing, and I’m thankful for videos like this that help us fix various injuries. “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:14 ESV “"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ESV Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! Nobody gets through the father except through Him!
I joined his program last May. It really is good. He and his trainers are also in touch with you every week. Sometimes he has specials on the cost of his program. It’s absolutely worth it. Planet Fitness + his program are my excercise “investments”.
I’m 70 yrs old, I’ve had lower back pain for 20 yrs. I did the standing stretch with you, and I could definitely feel the difference in my right side after the stretch, before doing the left side. I subscribed, and look forward to more stretching😊
After 14 days of sciatic pain, I saw this vid today. Tried it and instantly relief. Even felt like it pulled muscles and tendons under knee cap back into alignment. Thank you. Just subscribed.
I’ve been doing this stretch every morning for a few months. Got it from another physio’s channel. It took a while I think to really start making a difference. Maybe a month or so but it does help. I just fold my yoga mat in 2 so it’s soft on the knee and do 5 sets of 15 sec stretches each side. But I will try this guy’s suggestion of 30 or 90 sec or whatever and see which feels better. Light yoga is really good too. Improves core muscle strength, overall strength and overall flexibility. U can do it at basically any age too.
Thank you. You are literally an answer to prayer. I'm 80 years old and yes, I sit way too much. I know those muscles are tight and just this morning I was saying to the Universe, How do I do a back exercise for that condition!!? And here is my answer. Thank you so much. I can do this. (can't kneel but I can do the other one)
Jesus loves you dear, he died for you so you can have eternal life as a free gift! Just thank Him for paying for all of your sins and receive salvation today ❤❤❤
I have spent a long time in hospital followed by using a hospital bed at home. This has left me bent forward with lower back pain and I use a wheelchair because I’m stumbling forward instead of walking. This looks like a good way forward for me. Thank you.

I have had lower back pain for years also SI pain. I m 74 yo and I can only do my yard and house work for 5 mins at a time then I need to sit for 15-20 mins before I can start again. I tried this exercise yesterday and I was able to move and bend and pickup for up to 30-45 mins before having to sit for awhile. I think if I keep doing this exercise I will be able to get around for hours before long. Thank you for the video, it’s a life saver. God Bless You for sharing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
I'm 4 months post-op from ALIF and PLIF. My hip flexor was impared(9 hour surgery) for a week but it did eventually come back Have been dealing with lower back pain ever since. When I walk I get either pain in lower back/hips. I saw this video last nite and did the stretch this morning and about 75% improvement. Thanks so much for this relief....you're a definite favorite.
Thank you. I’ve been doing a very similar version of this for years (admittedly, yours is much better) but anytime I removed it from my regimen or happened to neglect stretching - I would eventually begin to notice my lower back feeling tight. Great job explaining why this movement is important - now I have a far better understanding of what I was feeling … and why! 👍🏻
Oh my God,after being in back pain for over 10 years, searching and talking to people. No one has ever said why or given the exercise to help relieve the pain. My sciatica bothers me daily and I do sit a lot because of being in back pain all day at work. Thank you so much. It was a simple explanation but made a lot of sense to me. Thank you thank you❤❤❤❤❤
Good Lord! My back has been a wreck for a week since two long plane flights. Your explanation of what happened and this stretch is amazing. Many thanks.
Wow! Thank you! This first version of this stretch gave me immediate low back pain relief. Thank you for this tutorial. I will be doing this several times a day now.
Omg i have been in terrible pain the last couple of days and this stretch has given me instant relief 🥺 I still have some pain but I can stand up straight now. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I Did the stretch once and I already have no lower back pain! It's been a long time since I got relief from the lower back pain. If I only knew this exercise years ago I would have been pain free! Thank you so much!
Thank you thank you thank you! I am going to try this. What I have been doing is squatting while keeping my back straight. It helps but the pain comes back shortly after I stand again. I just took a job that requires me to stand for hours after having work pre-covid where I was sitting. My back just isn't used to this anymore. So, I will incorporate this stretch into my routine. Thanks again.
Another one for the anti-sitting armoury of stretches. Really feel the effects of this one and for people with one side worse than the other, unilateral stretches really help a lot. THX!
Thank you. You may have just saved my life! I’ll start these exercises and report back in a few weeks. My lower back has been, at times, excruciatingly painful, but there are times when I’m “normal.” So something is out of wack and this just might do the trick.
Also a great stretch for the psoas major. Friend showed that first one to me a few years ago. I could barely walk, terrible pain, and it straightened me out like magic.
I have been having a bit of lower back pain for months, so I decided to try this stretch. In fact, I was feeling the pain prior to doing this stretch. I followed the instructions and after stretching, my back pain was gone. I will try to do it again, before bedtime. Thanks for sharing this stretch with everyone, because it is working for me .
Holy cow, I literally just injured this muscle and have been in panic mode for the past couple of hours. This provides me with IMMENSE instant relief. I hope that I can rid of this pain forever I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.
A physical therapist put this stretch into my routine but the results were marginal, at best. Now I realize the stretch was ineffective due to her never explaining the proper technique, what I should be feeling and where. That was over a year ago. I really appreciate you properly demonstrating this and saving me from continuing to waste my time on improper PT.
Hurt my lower back a few days ago and just tried this stretch- WOW. My pain was gone immediately after only a 30 second stretch. Super surprised as I have an Inversion Table I am using plus doing other stretches and using Tylenol and here I watched this video and for the pain I have this stretch really really helped immediately!
Thanks a million for these stretching movements. I have been having this low back pain for a while now and I couldn't find the right stretching position although I knew it had to do with my waist. I've just tried it and I feel way better. So, again, thank you !
U gave wonder tips in improving our lifestyle. Easing our old aged muscles n back pain. Thankful 4 your sharing! Appreciated frm da bottom of my heart.
Have you considered introducing this exercise, with credit to WeShape, to your clients? If yes, what results have culminated? If no, whatcha waitin' for? I'm not a paid or affiliated part of the team, just a Coach from TN that believes in the good of WeShape.
Thank YOU!!!! So much! Was literally just experiencing the ling-term chronic lower back pain I usually have - and you just fixed it. I can't tell you how grateful I am 🙏
My brother just told me about this stretch and this video today because I've been having issues with my right s.i joint (since my left s.i joint was fused 18 years ago) for the past couple years. 9 months ago I changed job positions at USPS from a very physical mechanic/tow truck operator to a desk job (more money, closer to home, different location). My back doctor and I just figured out yesterday my issue is the tight s.i joint and he was finally able to give me an injection in that joint so I can start to have my life back. The pain has been debilitating and it effects every aspect of my life! My quality of life has been in the toilet since this issue. With the injection and this video...maybe I can start to enjoy life once again. Thanks for the video!!
Thanks so much for this . I’ve had lower back strain ever since I lifted my kayak incorrectly. That was a year ago. Your exercise has relieved the pain and I will repeat it several times a day. Again, thank you.
It works and it works quickly. I am 85 and already with one stretching (kneeling) the pain disappeared. Thank you. I have suffered from lower back pain for so many years that I forgot how many. Any time I sit for a while to raise is a problem. Every morning when I get up from bed I must walk a lot to make the pain become weaker. This was the only method that worked for me, walking. Today I experienced your method. After the excellent result in the morning, I repeated the exercise several times during the day for prevention. Thank you again.
I am 58 and hurt my back by doing too much yard work and my lower back hurt so much especially at night. THis exercise really helped. I will continue to do this multiple times daily.
Oh my goodness thank you! I have hEDS and have had an anterior pelvic tilt since my pregnancies. I've brought it to the attention of my PT but she did nothing to address it. I've looked for exercises on my own but they always look pretty extreme and not something I can safely do. But this standing version I can do!
Unintentionally Came across this post . Glad I did because it reminded me to do my stretching and this one in particular. After finishing my midnight snack I got out of bed and did the stretch. Felt good.😊
I tried this stretch and it worked for me giving me instant relief. Will be doing this regularly as I suffer from low back muscle spasms from time to time.
Wow thank you so much. !! Just did the kneeling version and stood up between sides. I definitely felt the difference. Will do this a couple of times a day from now on.
Thank you so much! I just happened on your channel just now. I have never seen this particular exercise and will incorporate it into my morning yoga. Bless you💕
I have been having problems with lower back pain and realized that it was my hip muscles causing it. Thank you for this information! Now I know how to alleviate my pain.
I've been doing this for years and it really helps. I am flexible enough that I can grab my back foot with the opposite hand and pull the back leg forward. Love it!
Now I realize why my PT had me do a similar stretch and I didn't understand why she wanted me to stretch my calf. She usually was very good at explaining the "why" behind each exercise but I can't remember the why with this one. She mentioned the pelvis but didn't explain what you said about the hip flexors in a way that I probably understood. Thanks!
I am usually a very active person with good mobility, but I damaged my MCL, meniscus and had an avulsion tear removing a bone fragment, all of which has meant that as a carpenter/builder I have not been able to work for 5 months and counting, I am having regular physio and rehabilitation exercises, but my lower back has been getting gradually worse, especially as I have been struggling to do my usual yoga exercises. I have just done your exercise from this video, I only gave it it 30 seconds each side, just as a trial, and I have managed to get so much relief already! Many thanks and kind regards Rob 🇳🇿
Brilliant exercise! I ruptured a lumbar disc about 18 years ago and it flares up from time to time. Last 3 weeks have been bad, difficult to bend and get out of seat yet after doing this just once, it improved massively and the pain reduced right down too! So many thanks for sharing this. 👍👍
My L4 half ruptured from heavy equipment use they said try no surgery sent me to pt but insurance , runs out , Do you think I should try this for a little bit and see if it helps
@@richscott2952I can't advise you but it helped me. I started with a gentle stretch and then increased it a bit as with some exercises if you push too much you can make things worse. All the best.
Oh my God. I did this exercise about 5 times on each side for about 30 seconds each time. The relief was immediate. I’ve been thinking this pain is something I’m relegated to as I’m reaching 60. Thank you so much! 🙏
A couple months ago I learned this stretch from my PT, except from your position, I place my back foot up on the couch. Exceptional stretch in the thigh and hips. Complete game changer for me getting close to 50. Not sure why, but this past year my hammies and hips have been wanting to get really tight all the time.
Thank you for reminding me about anterior pelvic tilt! This is my problem. I had two knee surgeries and a lot of down time and weight gain during recovery. I have been stretching the wrong stretches! using a percussion massager but I think this is it... tight flexors!
OK this was amazing. I've been nursing a lower back pain for the last 4 days. Heat/cold pads Tylenol, nothing helped. I did the standing version of this stretch and the pain is gone 🎉 I will continue doing it throughout the day to stretch those muscles. Thanks, I've subscribed.
this is my go to hip flexor stretch. I have a chronic hip flexor problem. this stretch takes away my tight flexor pain when I flares up. I use this stretch 4-5 days a week
kennykolour inc Hey there! 🌟 We're really glad to hear that our hip flexor stretch has been helping you with your chronic hip flexor problem. It's always great to have a go-to stretch that provides relief, especially when those tight flexor pains flare up. Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions or need further assistance. Wishing you a pain-free week! 💪
thanks. do it, not sure about feeling any change yet though - I am super stretchy so never know what works or is going to work as I am kinda look like a baby giraffe when stretching but ...with back pain
Using this exercise is a game changer and we love it! We also sit on Tush-Cush brand wedge shaped orthopedic seat cushions to help assist the lumbar back into its natural curve, placing our knees lower than our hips, and we love the coccyx cut-out that takes the pressure off the tailbone - we have 9 cushions in several sizes that we use in our house and in our cars. This stretch will certainly help us address that SI pain even more. We were told about the amazing cushions by our DPT.
For lower back pain I do a deep knee bend, put my hands on the floor palm down between my legs & then lightly bounce. That puts the vertebrae back into alignment. Stand back up and it feels better.

I am 58 and hurt my back by doing too much yard work and my lower back hurt so much especially at night. THis exercise really helped. I will continue to do this multiple times daily.
That's great news! We're so glad that this was able to help. Thanks for sharing!
@@WeShape I s there a limit on how many time we can do it per day/
Yes definitely worked... got immediate relief. Thank you
Oh my goodness thank you! I have hEDS and have had an anterior pelvic tilt since my pregnancies. I've brought it to the attention of my PT but she did nothing to address it. I've looked for exercises on my own but they always look pretty extreme and not something I can safely do. But this standing version I can do!
Unintentionally Came across this post . Glad I did because it reminded me to do my stretching and this one in particular. After finishing my midnight snack I got out of bed and did the stretch. Felt good.😊
So glad to hear that this movement felt good!
Keep up the good work. You’re headed to where you want to be
I tried this stretch and it worked for me giving me instant relief. Will be doing this regularly as I suffer from low back muscle spasms from time to time.
Fantastic, have had back pain for years, this made such a difference.
Wow thank you so much. !! Just did the kneeling version and stood up between sides. I definitely felt the difference. Will do this a couple of times a day from now on.
Thank you so much! I just happened on your channel just now. I have never seen this particular exercise and will incorporate it into my morning yoga. Bless you💕
Yes! This stretch is fabulous for me!😊
This worked instantly. I will be doing this a few times a day if needed forever.
So glad to hear that this worked so well for you! Keep us posted on you feel after doing these for a while. We'd love to check in!
I have been having problems with lower back pain and realized that it was my hip muscles causing it. Thank you for this information! Now I know how to alleviate my pain.
Yes its working
Thanks a lot
Love from Nepal 💕💕🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
I've been doing this for years and it really helps. I am flexible enough that I can grab my back foot with the opposite hand and pull the back leg forward.
Love it!
Now I realize why my PT had me do a similar stretch and I didn't understand why she wanted me to stretch my calf. She usually was very good at explaining the "why" behind each exercise but I can't remember the why with this one. She mentioned the pelvis but didn't explain what you said about the hip flexors in a way that I probably understood. Thanks!
I am usually a very active person with good mobility, but I damaged my MCL, meniscus and had an avulsion tear removing a bone fragment, all of which has meant that as a carpenter/builder I have not been able to work for 5 months and counting, I am having regular physio and rehabilitation exercises, but my lower back has been getting gradually worse, especially as I have been struggling to do my usual yoga exercises. I have just done your exercise from this video, I only gave it it 30 seconds each side, just as a trial, and I have managed to get so much relief already!
Many thanks and kind regards

Brilliant exercise! I ruptured a lumbar disc about 18 years ago and it flares up from time to time. Last 3 weeks have been bad, difficult to bend and get out of seat yet after doing this just once, it improved massively and the pain reduced right down too! So many thanks for sharing this. 👍👍
My L4 half ruptured from heavy equipment use they said try no surgery sent me to pt but insurance , runs out , Do you think I should try this for a little bit and see if it helps
@@richscott2952I can't advise you but it helped me. I started with a gentle stretch and then increased it a bit as with some exercises if you push too much you can make things worse. All the best.
Absolutely amazing 👍😀was experiencing a spasm yesterday tried it and it really feels much better 👍thanks a ton !!
Thank you so much, this video helped me a lot... now I just shared it with my mom.
We're so glad that this helped you! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much
It’s relieving the pain in my back.
Excellent
Thankyou so much for the clear explanation. You are a great trainer. May God bless you🙏
Thank you for the stretching tips! Was walking through museums in DC last weekend and my lower back started aching after a few hours.
Oh my God. I did this exercise about 5 times on each side for about 30 seconds each time. The relief was immediate. I’ve been thinking this pain is something I’m relegated to as I’m reaching 60. Thank you so much! 🙏
Phenomenal! Thank you! I have tarlov cysts in my sacral area and some days it is excruciating. I immediately felt relief after just 1 try.
Thank you very much for the information
OMG this actually works!!!! Thank you man!
Yes this is great!! With covid 19 and sitting so much my lower back and sciatica is always killing me
Thank you
A couple months ago I learned this stretch from my PT, except from your position, I place my back foot up on the couch. Exceptional stretch in the thigh and hips. Complete game changer for me getting close to 50. Not sure why, but this past year my hammies and hips have been wanting to get really tight all the time.
51 and the same issues 😢
Thank you for reminding me about anterior pelvic tilt! This is my problem. I had two knee surgeries and a lot of down time and weight gain during recovery. I have been stretching the wrong stretches! using a percussion massager but I think this is it... tight flexors!
OK this was amazing. I've been nursing a lower back pain for the last 4 days. Heat/cold pads Tylenol, nothing helped. I did the standing version of this stretch and the pain is gone 🎉 I will continue doing it throughout the day to stretch those muscles. Thanks, I've subscribed.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a detailed explanation.😊👍👏
this is my go to hip flexor stretch. I have a chronic hip flexor problem. this stretch takes away my tight flexor pain when I flares up. I use this stretch 4-5 days a week

Thankyou for doing the non kneeling version as could never get down on my knee!
thanks. do it, not sure about feeling any change yet though - I am super stretchy so never know what works or is going to work as I am kinda look like a baby giraffe when stretching but ...with back pain
This really worked. It loosened up my lower back.
Wow, this worked instantly for my lower back pain, thankyou.
Using this exercise is a game changer and we love it! We also sit on Tush-Cush brand wedge shaped orthopedic seat cushions to help assist the lumbar back into its natural curve, placing our knees lower than our hips, and we love the coccyx cut-out that takes the pressure off the tailbone - we have 9 cushions in several sizes that we use in our house and in our cars. This stretch will certainly help us address that SI pain even more. We were told about the amazing cushions by our DPT.
Thanks for the vid. Wasn’t looking for it but I’ll give it a try over the next week . And then I’ll post results for feedback .
This is great. Thanks. Oh lawd, gotta do this
WoW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FANTASTIC STRETCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For lower back pain I do a deep knee bend, put my hands on the floor palm down between my legs & then lightly bounce. That puts the vertebrae back into alignment. Stand back up and it feels better.
The second stretch helped alleviating lower back pain better. First I did with a variation and that helped too.
Beautiful approach to wellness !! I love it ,,thank you,
