O to the M to the G..... After two days of no sleep and pain I did this at work today (almost brought tears to my eyes) 15 min. later NO PAIN!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much. I've spent the last 3 days in extreme pain, not being able to sit down or stand up. I did the first exercise and it brought me instant relief.
How r u now
I have been in agony with sciatica the last two days, eating painkillers. These exercise have given me some great relief. Thank you.
These exercises do in fact cause a small degree of initial pain but working through them has helped me tremendously. Thanks!
I could not find where to comment so I did it here. THANK YOU SO MUCH for uploading this video!!! It was like a 15 minute miracle. I've been in a lot of pain the past 3 days and in excruciating pain the last 24 hours. I've tried several high-dosage meds and pain creams but nothing helped. Doctor won't give me any more meds until my MRI results on Friday. I tried the exercises and it improved my pain about 80% the first time doing them. AMAZING! Thank you so much Madden PT!!!!
I had moderate to sever pain for 4/5 days... Did some of these exercises earlier this afternoon.... Pretty much (90%) relieved soon after doing them! THANK YOU!!
everybody should watch this video. It is amazing that most people complaining of leg pain have no idea what's going on. Nor do they know how very simple exercises can alleviate their discomfort. good job.
i know this is old, but thank u, i had a basketball injury and pinched my nerve and the first one brought relief
I pinched my nerve yesterday and found these exercises to be so helpful! This is my third time pinching the same nerve and I usually have trouble walking. Doing these exercises relieves the pain and I am able to move around again. Hopefully I'll be able to run again soon! Thank you!
How long did it take for you to feel better? I pinched my nerve 3 days ago and I have pain when I sit and stand up.
Thank you.. thank you.. thank you!!!
Amazing... it worked. The pain is less. I have been in severe pain all day.
I have scoliosis and now have two herniated disks and compression fractures from L1 to S1. I also have stenosis. I have dealt with disk problems in the past, but not like this. For the last seven months, I haven't been able to sit stand, walk, lay down for more than 15 minutes. I have seen an M.D, chiropractor, accupuncturist will try ayurvedic next. Thank you for posting these. I try to exercise every day, but hard without sleep.
These 3 exercises definitely helped me to feel sciatica pain relief.
Had this pain for a year would b pleased to try anything,
Dear people of the internet, until you know exactly what is causing your sciatica pain, you probably shouldn't do these stretches as they can actually worsen some conditions. Please get an MRI and work with someone who can help with a treatment plan for your specific issue.
I fixed my sciatica with back extensions and straight legged dead lifts. I was a truck driver and equipment operator. strengthening my lower back was key for me.
Did you go all the way down and up with the back extensions?
Good advice. Thanks mate.
I think I got the exact same thing right now, I ripped my lower back muscle 8 months ago and now I'm suffering sciatica. And I was just about to try that method, so I'm glad to hear it worked for someone else THANK YOU
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "what are the first signs of sciatica?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Sonictoria Stupefying Smasher - (should be on google have a look )?
It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to stopping your sciatica minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.
Nice Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Qonubrey Wenria Domination (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for pushing sciatica out of your life for good minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend Sam finally got great results with it.
A lot of professionals in the medical field will too quickly recommend drugs and meds for pain relief vs. encouraging the patient to research good/solid remedies such as this. Good job!
I've had injury induced sciatica for over 5 years now, happened in my late 20's. I've not been able to work since. I've tried everything from hypnosis, acupuncture, pain management, physio, hydro, even a cortisone injection in my spine. These exercises only ever aggravated my condition, the injection helped ease the chronic discomfort for a short time however I still have dreadful pain for which I take oxycontin daily. Having watched your vid, I can say that even the less advanced stretching i
I never had any problem from last two weeks I starting to feel pain in left and in lower back. I tried your exercises they are bit painful bit helping thanks for that
Wow. You have saved me from the excrutiating pain. Instant relief.
Thank you Doc. I appreciate your sharing with public.
Hey Chad. Great to see someone showing these really simple and basic exercises that can be so powerful. When they are simple the get done and thats half the battle
These three exercises always work like a charm whenever my sciatic nerve acts up. Almost instant pain relief. A little soreness after but nothing like the horrible pain Pryor to theses three exercises.
My uncle had Sciatica from last 5 years. He was unable to walk properly and took medicines from various hospitals but got no relief. Then he came to know about Chandigarh Ayurved Centre and took treatment from there. Now he is totally fit.

Hi, I have been having the pains you explain to the tee for me. Thank you for all these. I will get back with you after I do the exercises.
These actually worked thank you!!!!!
Dear Doctor,
Thank you very much. I was in great pain and got relief now through these exercises. Allah will give you reward.
I had that for many years. My legs and back pain been giving me problems. At time when the pain is too much, am just unable to lift either one of my legs and can't move. A sudden immobilise while walking. I went to see a Chiropractor, and it helps 100000% for me.
i am a fitness trainer but as a freelancer on daily basis i find more people with numerous joint and muscle problems , they expect me to be a physiotherapist even tho i am not i try my best to give them some easy tips and exercises to relive some pain.so thanks for sharing this useful information.
For those with Bad Sciatic pain....try taking two Advil. I've had Sciatic pain ever since I was 10 years old, and not has helped me, until one day I was on the floor, crying because the pain was so bad. My sons handed me two advil and within a minute or two, the pain was gone. Now, whenever I feel the pain coming on, I take two advil and it's gone.
Nice video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Perfect Shape Approach (just google it)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for getting rid of your sciatica minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam after many years got excellent success with it.
Thanks for this great video. I tried this exercise and got immediate relief.

This is brilliant...Thank you for sharing this... I know that my Pelvis comes out of alignment & I also have a bulging disc as well, that is what causes my Sciatica.
Try this guy, instant relief: th-cam.com/video/9SKuFe2SERs/w-d-xo.html
Pain free......amazing result for such a small amount of effort!
Luck you
This is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help others. I am going through this and its painful and awful. Human instinct is to lie down when in pain or sick, that is when the symptoms are the worst ! makes it hard to sleep !!
Thanks for making this video, it helped me a lot.
Chad, thanks for these video tips. I felt a painless pop while dead-lifting nearly 15 years ago, and haven't been right ever since. My pain not only radiates from my hip to my foot, but my range of motion has been severely hampered to the point of preventing regular exercise. These stretches relieve alot of the immediate pain, but it seems to always return. I am in Camp Hill, and would like to set up a consult with you.
Love ya Madden !!! You do really give a sense of tranquiluty
You are very great. Wish you all the best. thank you very much for the help. I did the 1st exercise. About 10mins my back pain gone. Awesome
I have peripheral neuropathy and no sensation or control in the right lower leg, since 2014, feels like dead weight. I will try these poses, they seem quite helpful, many thanks! 🌱
OMG. I couldn't stand up, lie down or sit for 2 days. I just did these 2 exercises and I can stand up straight, no pain. I friggin LOVE YOU !! OMG this is impossible !
If you couldn’t stand lay or sit wtf were you doing ? Floating? Lmao
Game Cop wow you truly don’t understand what living with pain means. The extreme Back pain in my case is severe... (laying down, sitting, waking out of bed, walking, get up, standing) we just live with it, its constant pain on a daily basis all we can do is try to manage living. So to answer ur question no we dont Float. We deal with it. 😠😣
April Sx lol my bad I was just making a joke. U know saying can’t sit stand or walk I was acting as if she was being literal
Game Cop no worries i think i was just in my feelings. Was having an extra bad day lol!
I have had three separate spinal surgeries, disc removal of l4/5 and l3/4 with a full permanent fusion of l3/4/5. After 10 reps of these stretches as well as a hip stretch I have noticed a difference. Also doing a 1/2 power ab constriction, nuts to guts, or kiegel exercise helps a lot.
i feel sick and cant get relief
I've seen physiotherapist & chiropractic specialist & nothing seems to work! I cannot sit for long periods when my left butt experiences excruciating pain...just imagine a toilet session! If I stumble while walking the pain caused by sudden reflex action to correct for a fall is horrendous...I'm in tears! Some days I cannot walk...I have a fear of loss of mobility and the dependence on my family! This is a nightmare!!!!
AFTER SURGERY I'M N THE WORST PAIN BEHIND MY LEFT LEG , KILLS TO SIT , WALK LAY DOWN R USE THE RESTROOM
Thanks, because Im at work and this really help me ...Again Big Thanks.
It is taking me 20 minutes to get out of bed and stand up straight in the mornings. The pain is high. By the end of the day I am in no pain and all is good. I am starting to dread going to bed! Yet sitting and lying down is initially comfort. I don't want to move yet I know that's the only thing that will eventually bring relief. Been to Chiro and physio. Will try these exercises.
did these exercises today.
This morning while doing crossfit I brought the weight up and i remember the weight caused pressure causing my spine to come inwards and i felt a pinch. about an hr later it only got worse and now im having a hard time standing and walking without pain.
These exercises are great and I'll contintue them
1st session did a bunch of diagnostics -- determined I had good balance, muscle strength, etc, EXCEPT a reduced ability to extend the spine. PT gave me some floor exercises to do--did fine on those (no pain). Nightime pain (last nite) was the worst. Daytime much better. will see how the next session goes tomorrow.
This helped me virtually instantly thank you
Really superb....thanks alot doc
Thank you for this video. I've had two recent hip replacement surgeries, the first of which caused a sciatica nerve issue on my left side. I will work these two stretches into my daily core strength/ hip rehab exercise routine & gauge the results.
This had instant results for me. Thank so very very much.
These two excersises really helped me thank you! As you say at the end of the video.. the third excersise has to be prescribed by a physiotherapist for your own specific cause.
Thank you for sharing this video. My gym instructor had very little knowledge about "Sciatic" nerve issues. So hopefully me sharing this information with her will help me -&- her in the long run of reducing pain & still getting a nice work out. - xo
Thank you so much for this video, I've been experiencing symptoms you describe in your video in my left leg. Within the 1st day doing the exercises, I've experienced a lot of relief. I'm going back to the chiropractor tomorrow and i will tell him about your video. I'm very happy. :)
Sorry man! I know it's like 7 months late but I feel it worked.
Thank you for the post
I tried both of them, well at least once, but I don't feel any pain going down my legs. I will keep trying this for at least a few more days and hope that the pain subsides.
Thank you for posting this video and for your prompt reply!
This is a nice video and should be very helpful if applied. I was surfing around watching some videos and am glad I found your channel.
Thanks, doc. If these excersises work faster than just bestest or ignoring the pain I'll try to remember to plaster other people's videos with a link to yours, as people have done to your video. Cheers from Canada :)
We'll, exercises and bestest don't seem to be real words, but whatever; I'm half drunk from self medicating.
Holy hell.. BEDREST, which is apparently two words
Thank you so much
Thanks for quick relief 🙏Madden sir
This was painful, but actually helped. Thank you!
I did 1st and 3rd exercise which help me when the pain struck me 2 mth ago.....TQ.
Hi Doc!
Thanks for sharing the Stretches & Exercises with us. got some relief honestly.
I have this pain for almost 8 years now. went to so many doctors but there was no proper result. so I'm kinda used to it now but the most bothering part is that I have a burning sensation on my left foot along with my left palm and sometimes left face (before the sensation was on my both feet only but slowly it's gone from one long time back) and most of the times I can't even sleep because of burning sensation. only solution I find is to keep my foot in a cold water for sometime or keep it under a fan. doctors say that it is because of slipped disk (I have 2 slipped disks. last 2 ones as per doctors) and cannot be treated separately. I have done many different exercises and they help to relieve the pain only.
Any advice for this please?
I'm 4,years on an operation list for a disc replacement for three years I lived in he'll with pain thankfully I got a good physio an no longer have pain as often but I do my exercise every day an added even more since I left her I work out 1hr a day an also regained 5lb of mussel but iv never seen these exercises
Did the exercises and got inmediate relief. Awesome.
2nd stretch has helped immediately
Will do. Thank you very much Chad!
This was a big help. Thank you.
I started taking the medication I bought from Dr igho channel on TH-cam and surprisingly it was working gradually and in 9days ever pain stopped. I am really happy that you helped me Eradicate sciatica pain Completely and I pray that God strengthen you Dr igho'
It was extremely hard to do the exercises but i got thru it & it worked within the same day! Huge difference, deff works! Any time i feel that pain coming, i come back to this video each time and it goes away
Thanks for answering! I'm doing your exercises everyday.
My age is 30,below are the statistics about my problem
Had Bike accident june 2011 and had pain in Nov2011 onwards and adviced to take MRI and found Disc bulge at L5-S1.On April2012 found a good Doctor who gave medication for nerve pain and its gone with in 2 weeks completely.Later adviced to do PT for 3 months,every thing fine for 2 months also he gave many strict rules.i had strained too much in my work.
Thaaaaaank u v much. It's superb !! Relived of pain
i saw chiro for 6 weeks and doing yoga too. Thanks
Thank you very much.
Finally, I’ve been diagnosed correctly with a physical or biochemical abnormality that is present at birth and that may be inherited, spondylilothesis, that has plagued me my entire life. It’s hard finding relief from the pain complicating it with sciatica. I’ve been active most of my life but recently my life has taken a left turn. I’m looking for bed exercise. I am unable to lay down on my stomach and the only minute relief I get is laying on my side doing diaphragm breathing. I’m unable to turn side to side so I usually fall asleep on side only making difficult in the mornings to get up and out of bed.
my herniated disc is in the L3/L4, L4/L5 and L5/S1. I got to knw that I had L3/L4 symptom after I undergo MRI a few days a go. Previous MRI just showed L4/L5 and L5/S1 symptom...The road to my work place took me almost 1 hr from my house and I am overweight: 90kg.
Hey Heather, I have had sciatica in my right "knee" for 4 years and I've noticed the pain only showed right before my period, so I googled it and read that it can be a sign of endometriosis, due to pressure on the nerve by uterine fibroids. Now I am constantly in pain, excruciating pain .... will try the exercises on the video, as I cannot keep taking ibuprofen everyday .... good luck to you ....
Thanks a lot. It is working for me
OMG, idk what just happened. Ive been getting this pain since 3 months and the 2nd exercise gave me Instant relief :O
Thank you alot
these exercises helped a few years ago when my sciativ nerve was pinched and hurting badly. it got me back on the ice. its back but on the other side. lets hope this works twice
I have to say I've had sciatic pain for the last 6 months after a back injury at the gym and these exercises gave me the best relief out of anything I've tried so far, and it was immediate. Being 6'4" I'm not flexible AT ALL and need to be better about it but for immediate relief I would highly recommend these to anyone who is experiencing sciatic pain. Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for this doctor..
I'm 3rd time lucky with my disc! 3 times in about 15 years! I'm having physiotherapy & acupuncture! I'm exercising as well! It's hard i know, but I'm sticking with it! Sleeping can be bad! with the pain! But I've had it before, with my other 2 bouts of disc & sciatica! & it still sucks!, big time. Good luck folks!!
After a LONG time, i decided to workout a bit yesterday and Lo and Behold a few hours later my sciatica was back with a vengeance. It is excruciating pain right now. Hard to even sit down. I'll try these exercises and see what happens.
I did the back bender exercise he recommends today and POOF! No more pain!
My earthy savior , sent to help heal my body , thank you so much ! 🙄
Great video
Ty, I will try this
The major down side here is us people with sciatica pain can't get into those positions without extreme 10/10 pain half way getting there. Such as the sit up with straight legs. Thanks for trying to help tho sir.
Ya the pain I get is at par with an abcess tooth and most intense at side of my calf. It takes me 3-4 hours just to get mobile each day then I have 30-45,min to get around before having to lie on my side. Most intense injury I have ever had for sure.
Exactly. I can’t sit down for more than 30 seconds at a time. The pain gets so intense that I have to lay back down. Same with standing up, I’m fine for about 30-45 seconds and then I start getting a burning feeling down my leg and then my back starts to hurt. I need some laying down stretch methods.
Great Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Franaar Breathtaking Motion Formula (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for Curing Sciatica in Just 8 Mins without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy at very last got astronomical success with it.
@@jezuzxxx For anyone with similar problems, your posture and regular stretching is important, consistency is key, also mental health issues can effect and make it worse and vice versa. Look into inversion therapy that helps to decommpress the spine, also hydrotherapy which is another way of decommpressing the spine. A few simple stretches to help with spine are the cat & cow pose, the upwards facing dog pose & the childs pose & a primitive squat, if you do the primitive squat off the side of a low object like a chair you could even gently decommpress the spine, spinal decommression is important but can be dangerous, posture is important guys! also you can buy certain cushions that help with the curvature of your lower spine and ones for sitting on the help with your pelvic area such as a coccyx cushion. For anyone that doesnt allready know, sleeping on your side with a cushion between your knees will help relieve pain by keeping your spine alligned, and try putting one beneath your knees if your on your back. Physical pain effects your mental health, mental pain effects your physical health!

brilliant thank you Dr Handsome.
@maddenptofficial Yes its down all of my leg. My physio said she could not do full treatment on me, as im in too much pain. The exercises i try to do are bending my hips side to side, Trying to touch my toes, leaning as far back as i can, Core strengthining exercises which is just holding in my stomach, and my physio also just tapes my back up. Other than that im taking codeine, tramadol and some anti-inflammatory.
yes and the MRI report is also clear.
before moving to other city he said me to do "Neuro nerve test" i haven't got time to do that :(
Great video 👍
I did these 3 and got IMMEDIATE results - so much less pain. Thank You, Mr. Madden for giving me some hope. I can only imagine how I will feel after a few days of these. I am saying good-bye to shots, pain medicine and tens units forever!!!
Thank you so much. I've been going to a Physio therapist and it's done nothing to help or identity my pain. After you 4 min video, I'm now pretty confident it's "sacroiliiac" pain. Acupuncture and suction cups completely wasted my time. Going to look this up more and keep trying these exercises.
Did it help?
The PT that treated you with suction cups should be slapped slowly and repeatedly with a wet sock. /PT myself.
I'm SO glad that I found this. I suffer from ALL the symptoms mentioned and then some! Every exercise I do hurts & I have yet to find any exercise that produces any results for me. :( Has anyone had positive results from doing this?
I had the same thing... going on 20 weeks now. I damaged my nerve and it landed up going down my bum (worst pain Ive ever felt) and giving "reflective pain in the pelvis and hamstrings. After 15 weeks of hell, I finally went to the PT and they did dry needling and some intense muscle massages along with aligning my back and hips. Im finally starting to feel human again. Id recommend therapy anyday, the longer you leave it, the more damage it does!
2nd exercise, I cant even do; cant stretch out my leg fully and getting up off and down on the floor is too much of a chore.
finally had the mri, showing stenois on L4-L5-- causing all kinds of issues ie: extreme pain in the SI, side nerves upper thigh, lower shine into top of foot, like your shoes on too tight. saw every kind of treatment (pt,chiro-2 of them, laser, chinese hands on treatment, accupuncture, yoga, trainers)i could afford, then finally the surgeon as the numbness is causing other physical issues on friday, he won't do surgery, said a nerve block MAY help, take some more morphine help!like ur exercises
Helped immediately... Thank you..
Yep I have all those sypmtos I fell down 7 months ago nd compressed my disks in my lower back nd pinched my nerve I did goto physo and it did begin to improve then I reinjuerd it about two weeks ago the pain got so intensive I had to go to emergency they told me I had a pretty severe form of sciatica currently takeing perkset with oxy codeine for the pain
My sciatica is so bad right now I can hardly walk or sleep. Those exercises did absolutely nothing for me
