I'm only 32 and been having lower back pain since 7 years now. Comes and goes. Tried almost all the moves while watching this video and I felt my back snap. The relief is awesome. I'll be doing this everyday! Thanks you so much! From Nigeria.
Cannot thank you enough for this video giving me pictures of exercises I need to help with my sciatic pain. Am positive it is being caused by a herniated disc problem because back in 2002 I was a flight attendant and dislocated a disc and spent 3 months in physical therapy. At age 76 I did something I should never do and picked up fireplace logs and carried them across the lawn and put them up on the porch at my son’s house. That was 6 months ago and went and got the steroid shots in back and hip with did nothing for me like it had in past years. Am going to start doing these exercises and will continue till I finally get total relief from all the pain I have been going through. Am subscribed for quite a while to your videos now and am so blessed to have found you and your videos. God Bless🙏🙏🙏
I was suffering from sciatica pain n it’s really a misery but Thanks To God 🙏 and Doctor like you who are very honest and teaching us the right things I love you 😍 ❤🙏💐💖💐💖💐💖
These streches are really miracle makers. I did many of these streches and exercises shown here when I had a terrible pain in the lower back. At the beginning it was pretty hard to do because of the pain but I didn't quit it and kept on doing everyday. Day by day the pain reduced and I completely got out of it. Now my lower back feels much better and healthier than before. Thank You Dr. Mandell! You are a great expert.
Thank you brother Angel. I'm having sciatica pain and I'm groping for medicine but lo and behold my brother turned up to help me. God bless you my angel, you are always there for us in pain, in rain,and sunshine too.

Thank you so much. I had decompression surgery 10 yrs ago, pain recently returned, started some of these movements and it’s definitely eased significantly. I am 75 yrs young and I am very active and want to stay that way! Really appreciate all you give Doc! 😊
I'm hoping this will help my family members to as it has been an ongoing problem with no cure but anxiety , stress and constant fear of progressive chronic pain. Stay blessed for your selflessness and generosity
Thank you for the video which I feel will help me a lot l will try them & choose the one which works for me. I've severe lower back pain which radiates to the back of both legs down to feet causing pain numbness & cold feet making it extremely difficult to walk l have Faith that I one of the exercises will heal me
You generously gave us sooo many options while other podcasts would give 3 or even 2 options only. From the bottom of my heart...thank you Doctor for your genuine concern! It helped my Sciatica pain a lot!😊
Doctor Mandela I just recently found you on TH-cam about 1-2 days ago. I’m sharing several of your information teaching to my wife right now while she’s sleeping. She needs help with the sciatic nerve & hip pain she has everyday. So I’m sending her this 22 minute presentation on your stretching positions. Also I’ve been having problems with right side sciatic nerve, hip joint and right outside area of my right knee. So I will be incorporating these stretches too. Along with your morning drink of apple pieces, garlic, lemon juice, turmeric, olive oil, cayenne pepper, black pepper & 1/2 cup of water and blend in mixer. I’ve been doing hydrogen peroxide ear drops for about 1 1/2years and gargling with it for about 5 years. It was good to hear you talk about it. An elderly man in his middle 70’s told me about the hydrogen peroxide ear drops & my next door neighbor who is around years old told me about gargling with it about 5 years ago. Also I’ve been doing pressing on a thumb nerve in meaty part of hand and doing the breathing exercises in through my nose and out through my mouth. I’ve listened to your class on getting rid of the fear or anxiety on Covid-19. I’m not afraid I’m a Christian... 2 Tim., 1:7 God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind, but I wanted to hear what you had to say. And it was spot on! I believe the masks are a pre-mark of the beast or a dress rehearsal for the New World Order! On the other hand the Christians will be raptured out before the Mark of the Beast comes around like in Revelation Chapter 13. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve subscribed to you & hit the “black” bell. God Bless You & your family sir. P.S. Just before I found you I had been praying to the Holy Spirit for help! Then bing, bang, boom! I found you or led to you by the Holy Spirit. Thank you doc. I’ll give you updates! Keep on doing what you’re doing! You are helping many people! I’ve seen the comments people are writing! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You are right Dr Mandell 👍 it’s very painful, my sister suffered a lot from her lower back disc problems and her doctor ask her to make operation which she refused, so he asked her to use the wheelchair instead of practicing your amazing stretches and techniques you are giving here that I’m going to share them to my sister✌️ God bless you 🙏🌷🌿💕
Last night I woke up with terrible sciatic pain on my left leg, did EFT, rubbbed with magnets, nothing helped, had to popped some pain killers , it never hurt so bad. I decided to look in your channel for help and I just did 5 of the stretches you mentioned , feeling so good already. See how it goes, thank you so much for your generosity in giving your time to help all of us!
I thank God every day for you, this particular video addresses my back pain. I have seen countless chiropractors and pain managent doctors and I ended up getting my spine punctured and ended up in the ER and develop neuritis. May God bless you now and always 🙏
Does anybody get pain in their heels from sciatica? I can’t get it to go away. Great video, Doc! You save so many people from jumping through hoops with doctors! Thank you 🙏
Feeling wonderful after doing all these exercises.. I knew a few of them but forgot about them.. great collection. I've been blaming my mattress for the pain stiffness in my hips when I wake up. It's stiff for 20 minutes... I'm going to do before bed... hope this changes my life. Great Dr ... helping so many with simple tips... thanks Dr
Instead of taking meds, I come here and watch your videos and do the recommended stretches. You are very good with your recommendations. Ex: Using the hairbrush on traps, I do it daily, esp. when im on the computer. I tap left and right, as hard as I can then lift my shoulders, then release.It works!! When I feel numbing or tightness start, i get my trusted hairbrush. Your neck, shoulder, mid/lower back, sciatica, piriformis stretches are all wonderful. You are awesome
I have many mystery regarding my health and you have been a blessing. I’ve been ignored by many doctors and I have been having to do many research on my own to help myself. I accidentally injured myself years ago rollerblading and i feel i did pinch my sciatica nerve. This has helped a bit. Thank you :) I hope my doctors take me serious about my other health issues, but for now, i find your content has helped alleviated my pain! , Thank you 🙏
@@Tinyteacher1111 I'm really sorry to hear that. It must have been very difficult. I hope you are feeling better :) ! and yes, he is amazing! I have felt very alone in my journey to feeling better cause I do know something is off. i feel i underlying issue with something since i'm prone to infections :( So, now that i'm following him, I noticed his explanation of things is helping me understand how I can help myself. It does provide people some hope since i've only gotten one diagnosis for my liver but it doesn't explain my other pains. I eat modertely well and I don't drink. So, i feel so greatful he has detox videos and what not :D
AirFire18 Thank you so much for your well-wishes. Unfortunately, I think I’ll be plagued with this lower back issue and leg aches forever. Hope not, though! I hope you’re doing well, too!! I totally understand the loneliness and isolation!!!! I’ve lost a lot of relationships, friends, and family because I’ve been unable to do so many things. No one understands the severity of having chronic pain, unless they’ve had it. I sincerely wish you well, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you need to get your feelings out! I’m a good listener dnd understand. (Unfortunately, I talk a lot! Must be from my 40 year teaching career!!
I am so grateful that you spend your time and help people like me that live with a lot of pain. I am going to start doing the exercise and hopefully avoid to have an epidural that last for a few months. Thank you 🙏
Dear Dr. Mandela, can never give you enough appreciation and thanks for helping me to regain my body strength at 79 years old. Your exercises have helped relieve my pain in many parts of my body. I feel amazingly younger and more self confident in myself. You are a wonderful doctor and so happy you have videos to help people. God bless you and your family. Stay safe and enjoy each day! Thanks, Nancy
Thank you SO MUCH!! I’ve been in pain for 3 days! I can never get into my chiropractor when I need to. I also always seem to injure myself on Fridays and have to suffer all weekend until I can call for an appt on Monday which are always a couple more days out. Sciatic pain is the worst! Legs were so tight and painful I could hardly even look down! After a few stretches the pain in my legs that was down to my ankles moved back up to the hips! Yes! Thank you!!! ❤️
I'm a 'Friday after 5:00 p.m.' ailment person too, plus I often have that problem added on to a major holiday too. For example, I just spent my Thanksgiving 2022 in the nearest ER, having had lower back pain/spasms for 3 days prior and ever since as well. There's no calling for appointments until Monday morning and some may be weeks away still. Our healthcare system is set up to be manageable for doctors, but is often not so for the patient. It needs to somehow be manageable for BOTH. For many patients, help needs to come much SOONER; otherwise they suffer more during the delay and sometimes have a longer recovery because they weren't able to be treated soon enough. 'Do no harm' still applies, and sometimes delay of treatment is clearly doing harm. Waiting at urgent care places is first come/first served, not triaged in any continuous way. Some patients can wait 1-1/2 hours easier than others. Even ERs can have long waiting times. I wish we had everyday healthcare rapidly available 24/7 by doing healthcare providers' shifts differently so they still get necessary time off and normal sleep. Health problems don't happen according to the calendar and should be able to be promptly adressed, independently from it.
Thank you so much for this information. I have had this for many years and now that I'm older and really pushed myself by moving halfway across the country with no help, it really took a toll on my sciatica. I do not take any meds, but just doing the stretches I used to do has not been working. Now I can understand, how the option of these different alternatives can help me. Thank you. At 74, having had a broken back in two places at age 24, I can't complain. Everything I do is based around natural methods and this helps me more than you know! You are a blessing.
Hi Dr. Mandell I'm very proud of you and all your vedios are good. I'm senior 69 yrs. of age and always follows your lectures. I'm applying some of them. I'm your follower here in Tagbilaran City, Bohol Phil.. God Bless you.. Be safe.... Josie G.
When I was in my late twenties I was plagued with lower back pain. I went to a chiropractor and he took an x-ray of my lower back. The lower part of my spinal column had a curve to the left looking from the back. My pelvis wasn't level it was low on the left and high on the right. The chiropractor worked with me for about 3 months and then took another x-ray. The X-ray showed that the curve in the spinal column was gone and that pelvis was level. He gave me the same stretch exercises you showed. As long as I do the stretches I'm fine but if I stop for two or three months I notice the tightness coming back and sometimes a little pain. Without a doubt the stretches work. Thank you for posting this video. I hope a lot of people will try the stretches before they think of an operation.
Chairo's make you come back, over and over, endlessly. That's how they make money. Making money is their main objective; not necessarily your health. Let's be real.
I've been watching this teary eyed because I've been in pain for almost 2 years now and I'm kinda discouraged. I'm 55 and I lost the lightness in my step , it feels like my mind forgot how to walk properly, I wobble now , I walk like a penguin , I feel so stiff and heavy . At 15:39 MDoc says : " the pelvic is supposed to rock when you walk " or you compensate.. That's me! I hope it's not to late! Some of these stretches I do , but I guess I do not do them as often enough, because I was wondering if I could be worsening my case, but after watching this I'm going to find the best ones for me and do them every single day. Thanks for being you Doc and for this video! xx
Yes this is a great doctor. Whenever I have an issue, I look for his video. I have been having pain in lower back, that radiates down buttocks to back of left leg. Siaciatic nerve pain. Pain severe started taking OTC pain meds. Will begin a few of your sitting in chair stretches. Now with this virus so contagious, trying to stay away from doctor's. Not you. Will keep the chair stretches. May God 🙏 bless you. I will watch you video about keeping safe from the virus. Thank you sooooo much.
I've been following your migraine videos for some time now and they're fabulous, and have really helped alleviate some of my attacks. This week when I twisted something in my lower back, I found these exercises, and they're helping me get back to the gym. Thank you so much Dr Mandell.
I am blown away how you released this video on the exact day I pinched a nerve in my lower back and have been miserable for 3 days! This is the second time your gift has helped me; the first time was for a neck spasm and, once again, you released your passive resistance exercises for neck spasms that very same day! Either you’re connect to my phone, or you are God’s answer to prayer! These REALLY HELP...THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much Dr Mandell. I've been having very painful back pain and now I'm doing your exercises on here. I'm getting some well needed relief. I was walking around like an old lady for days. Now getting relief..😊👍❤🙏
Fabulous! You make so much sense. Just finished a round of PT for sciatica pain, but watching this I see what I am doing wrong. Concentrating to much on the numbers, 2 sets of 15 etc. instead of holding the stretches. Will be changing that in the morning and adding a few more in. Thanks Doc!
I am a 62 year old woman with type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism and severe anemia at 8.3. I have no energy but I can do some of these exercises but the ones on the floor I can't due to pain trying to get on the floor and off of the floor. Some of those exercises that I can do I do while laying in bed and sometimes it helps and sometimes it don't. I do thank you for your time in making this video.
Wow, Dr. Mandell! I was surprised to see that at least 50% of the stretches you recommended are the same ones I've been doing. I actually thought I'd made them up, lol. They always make my lower back pain & sciatica feel better. Hopefully I can avoid surgery. Thank you for all you do
Morning Doc A. This video is made for me. Since 2005, I could no longer work due to 60% of my lumbar discs being herniate bulging and degenerated. And take several pain medicines daily to minimize the pain, which fluctuates daily between 6/10 on the pain scale. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. PS Life sucks I'm only 55. Thank you for your kindness and video for all. God Bless
I can relate and im in my late 40s. Got a heirnated disk spinal stenosis and extrusion ill try these and keep researching for answers i dont wanna take more meds i heard kratom is good i dont want a surgery but well see what happens
@@gerrygizzygarcia2572 Hi Gerry. If you're in the NYC Metropolitan area Make a consultation appointment with Dr. Frank Cammisa at The Hospital For Special Surgery. The below link is his contact information. www.hss.edu/physicians_cammisa-frank.asp?Yext&WebsiteLink All the. best to you . #6
@@numbersixson3980 thank u surgery would be my last resort but its a thought i was told by a specialist that surgery aint a option yet unless my paij comes back to my leg cuz i have extrusionS as well but that doesnt mean the pain aint bad
God bless you for making such awesome videos on the best stretches to help relieve back and neck pains that are most common problems people are suffering from. ❤️
Thank you Dr. Mandell, it's 3 am and I cannot sleep, feel quite sick , nauseous, pelvis locked, I think from cam boot on 1 leg. On the floor doing your exercises. Feel better. Hugs and squeezes from me😊❤ in Australia
I have lower back pain and these videos help me a lot . Thank you so much Dr. Mandell for giving your time to help the people who have health problems. USA follower
Once again, thank you, Doctor! I’ve suffered from serious back issues since birth. I was born with both of my legs wrapped around my head. My parents were told that I would be that the rest of my life but three days later I was laid out flat and normal (?) all by myself. Work injuries throughout my construction career have not helped. The smartest thing I’ve ever bought was a inversion table. Not a night goes by that I don’t look forward to your videos!
Thank you Dr. Mandell for this great information. We all need to practice some type of stretching exercise to protect our backs from injuries. Practicing good posture is a must. God bless you for all you do❣
Very informative as always sir. I really appreciate your honesty. By the way I’ve suffering from buttock pain when sitting after a car accident but I’m very much mobil pain free, however my chiropractor wanted to send to pain management for shot after I refused a surgery ! By the way he didn’t even touch me or evaluate me, I went back to him and brought up the issue after I got evaluated from spine surgeon who said my pain is due to piriformes syndrome not spine issue. Thank you again very much Dr Mandel.
Dr. Mandel, I slipped when I was mowing my yard and I have been experiencing lower back pain; when to the doctor...he could find anything; I so glad I find your channel; I am going to start doing the stretches. Thank you very much!!!
Thank you, Dr. Mandell. I have been suffering from lower back pain (Sciatic) for many years, have been to see many chiropractors, orthopedics, and neurologists and honestly the last chiropractor I visited was the best, he had me on spinal decompression with physical therapy that made a significant difference in my lower back pain which for the most part the physical therapy was the same as the vlog you have provided. I have reached a plateau and think I will run through these stretches again to find others to help my lower back and get my hamstrings to loosen up again. I do have problems with twisting my lower back it seems to have a negative effect and makes my pain more intense for several days afterward. Thanks again for this great information you share.
Hello,a few months ago i cannot move my left arms throughout my shoulder and its painful and i really appreciate all the knowledge you’ve sharing to all of us.It really work!Thank you so much🙏more power and more people follow you Dr.Mandel i really recommend it.
Yoga moves really work!! Thank you! We do many of these stretches and it’s great conformation I’m on the right track. Dr. Mandell, is a great Healer and teacher You explain everything that everyone can understand!!🙏
Thank you ! You are a God send everything you are telling I need right now I can't work because of this pain . I prayed for God to help me and your video popped up. Thank you again I'm going to start these right away.
I will be 80 in September. ,I kept waiting for your video to come up with something to sell me at the end. I was surprised when I realized you truly, wanted to help for nothing in return. I am very clumsy & have brittle bones. I I took a balance class for the past year & was very limited in what exercises were allowed. This year I signed up for a senior program that offers some exercise programs. One I accidentally got into was made up of people who spoke Mandarin. Although I couldn't keep up or speak their language they were so welcoming. Many of the exercises they tell me to do daily were things you suggested. I plan to study your suggestions & see if they help me. Thank you for trying to help others.
Right now am feeling pain in my lower back and hip am going to do some of them I always watch your show and it is excellent not going to stop watching it thank you God bless you because you're helping me and also other people
thanks for sharing this video. I can vouch for about half of these. I worked with a massage tharapist that helped me with alot of my back, knee and sciatica issues and showed me alot of these. I will be adding your additional ones. I have avoided back surgery for about 6 years now by doing them.
Such GREAT information! I’ve had chronic lower back pain and leg aches since childhood, and I’m 64. I’ve been aware of the Mac Kenzie Method for quite a long time but wasn’t sure if it was outdated or not (That’s one of the reasons I like Toyotas!). I’m glad to know that my yoga stretches and routines are still ok, especially because they feel great! But, some doctors, chiropractors, NUUCA chiropractors, athletes, trainers (never had one, but know some), tell you different things. I trust you the most! You’ve helped me remember some great back and leg stretches, and find new positions especially to relieve the lower back compression and get relief for the leg aches I get.I always want to share this info, but some people are very resistant. I’ll keep trying! Thank you so very much for sharing your extensive knowledge, compassion and positivity!! 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕
Your video using a soft bristle brush on your neck was on my feed when I got up in excruciating pain this morning. I tried it out, it worked and then I continued to watch more of your videos. I've already used multiple techniques you've shown and am feeling much better than I was in just 2 hours of time. I cant wait to keep learning more from you and implementing it into my daily life and routines and experiencing how much it changes my pain filled life and sharing it with my mom and others I know who suffer. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share with the world. I wish I could have you as my doctor but for now I'm already thankful just for the information you share.
Dr Mandell you are amazing very helpful. 💗💓💗💓💗Thanks for helping so many people including me. Whatever I learn from you I pass it onto others . Sharing is caring xxx
Today is my 4th day of my lower back exercises given by Dr. Mendell. It has improved my back alot. Since I am suffering from all joint pains for last 15 years . Going from one doctor to another doctor...but no relief. I am feeling so much relief now. Just begin the exercises for 30 sec. For those who are in pains....then gradually increase 40 second. These exercises are also helping for upper back. Hats off to you...Dr. Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr.for ALL of your videos, I see a difference in ALL areas of my life, I want to thank you for your knowledge, I am grateful to you. Have a great day!
Thank you for making these! You’ve inspired me to keep trying despite the pain and for reminding me that I already know most of these exercises from Pilates and Yoga and to keep at it.
I couldn’t get out of bed for five days due to overdoing it at the gym, although they weren’t heavy exercises. Started doing your exercises and it helped me in a couple of days. Thanks for all your info, really appreciate your help
This is awesome! I've been in pain (lower back) for months now as a result of a gym injury. I'm going to start these stretching exercises right away. Also, thank you for educating while teaching! God bless you!!
Dr. I like you. A lot of good things you give me/us. And you explain as you speak. You make sense. I now have a routine I do . Some of them I don’t use yet/some I will ease into……each month is something new. Thank you ☺️👩🏾👋✝️
Oh yes. I can relate to this. It’s awful. I’ve been watching what I’ve been eating. See if this brings it on. I keep walking, and do, do exercises, these stretches I’ve been doing since the sciatic pain started up yesterday. So far so, so. Thank you so very much for this video. It is very helpful. I’m 74 years old.
Thank you. This is the best video I have ever watched. You give us so many options. I’m a carpenter and many times my leg will just suddenly tighten up. I go into a room and just try and stretch until something works.There are many stretches I have never seen before Thanks again
Thanks for the video. I'm suffering now with burning lower back pain from bulging discs and arthritis going down my leg. I'm trying everything. Praying for relief 🙏
Thx Dr I've had 2 lower back surgeries and now I have sciatica which is very painful it has affected my mobility immensely and seeing these stretches I k ow will help what I appreciate you saying is just do what you can you don't have to do it exactly but do your best...its like taking small steps one at a time any movement is better then none at all. .thanks for all you do God Bless you and your family ❣️
Thanks 🙏 a lot Dr Mandell!! I had mentioned this pinched nerves and sciatica on one of your videos were you were showing a lower back stretch, and I said to you how much my 84 year old mom was suffering from this conditions, I thank you 🙏 so much for this video, she had 3 herniated disk surgeries in The passed that probably she didn’t even needed, thanks God for doctors like you,Amen!🙏 her knees are a big problem too, in April she had the jell injections on both knees and it didn’t work she’s also having problems walking because of the pain, now she’s also have to have an MRI to see was going on, hopefully they don’t say she needs surgery, thanks a lot Dr Mandell and make a great evening, God Bless you and your momma AMÉN!🙏❤️🙌🙌
Hi! I’ve been trying to do a few of your exercises and my sciatic nerve has been better. Thank you so much for all your help. I will keep trying to keep stretching that area of my lower back and leg and butt muscles. It works guys.❤️

Doctor Mandela I just recently found you on TH-cam about 1-2 days ago. I’m sharing several of your information teaching to my wife right now while she’s sleeping. She needs help with the sciatic nerve & hip pain she has everyday. So I’m sending her this 22 minute presentation on your stretching positions. Also I’ve been having problems with right side sciatic nerve, hip joint and right outside area of my right knee. So I will be incorporating these stretches too. Along with your morning drink of apple pieces, garlic, lemon juice, turmeric, olive oil, cayenne pepper, black pepper & 1/2 cup of water and blend in mixer. I’ve been doing hydrogen peroxide ear drops for about 1 1/2years and gargling with it for about 5 years. It was good to hear you talk about it. An elderly man in his middle 70’s told me about the hydrogen peroxide ear drops & my next door neighbor who is around years old told me about gargling with it about 5 years ago. Also I’ve been doing pressing on a thumb nerve in meaty part of hand and doing the breathing exercises in through my nose and out through my mouth. I’ve listened to your class on getting rid of the fear or anxiety on Covid-19. I’m not afraid I’m a Christian... 2 Tim., 1:7 God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind, but I wanted to hear what you had to say. And it was spot on! I believe the masks are a pre-mark of the beast or a dress rehearsal for the New World Order! On the other hand the Christians will be raptured out before the Mark of the Beast comes around like in Revelation Chapter 13.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve subscribed to you & hit the “black” bell.
God Bless You & your family sir.
P.S. Just before I found you I had been praying to the Holy Spirit for help! Then bing, bang, boom! I found you or led to you by the Holy Spirit. Thank you doc. I’ll give you updates! Keep on doing what you’re doing! You are helping many people! I’ve seen the comments people are writing! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You are right Dr Mandell 👍 it’s very painful, my sister suffered a lot from her lower back disc problems and her doctor ask her to make operation which she refused, so he asked her to use the wheelchair instead of practicing your amazing stretches and techniques you are giving here that I’m going to share them to my sister✌️ God bless you 🙏🌷🌿💕
Last night I woke up with terrible sciatic pain on my left leg, did EFT, rubbbed with magnets, nothing helped, had to popped some pain killers , it never hurt so bad. I decided to look in your channel for help and I just did 5 of the stretches you mentioned , feeling so good already. See how it goes, thank you so much for your generosity in giving your time to help all of us!
I needed this video....I suffer with lower back pain.....But God and you have helped me out 🙏🙏😊
I thank God every day for you, this particular video addresses my back pain. I have seen countless chiropractors and pain managent doctors and I ended up getting my spine punctured and ended up in the ER and develop neuritis. May God bless you now and always 🙏
Does anybody get pain in their heels from sciatica? I can’t get it to go away. Great video, Doc! You save so many people from jumping through hoops with doctors! Thank you 🙏
Yes i have but didn't find any treatment of it
SOOO many unnecessary back surgeries due to simple stretching. Love you & god bless you doc! Thank you!
Feeling wonderful after doing all these exercises.. I knew a few of them but forgot about them.. great collection. I've been blaming my mattress for the pain stiffness in my hips when I wake up. It's stiff for 20 minutes... I'm going to do before bed... hope this changes my life. Great Dr ... helping so many with simple tips... thanks Dr
Amazing collection of stretches.. Dr M ... worth your weight in gold
I have so many videos saved to watch and exercise. This is all in one and all I need. Love it.
Instead of taking meds, I come here and watch your videos and do the recommended stretches. You are very good with your recommendations. Ex: Using the hairbrush on traps, I do it daily, esp. when im on the computer. I tap left and right, as hard as I can then lift my shoulders, then release.It works!! When I feel numbing or tightness start, i get my trusted hairbrush. Your neck, shoulder, mid/lower back, sciatica, piriformis stretches are all wonderful. You are awesome
I have many mystery regarding my health and you have been a blessing. I’ve been ignored by many doctors and I have been having to do many research on my own to help myself. I accidentally injured myself years ago rollerblading and i feel i did pinch my sciatica nerve. This has helped a bit. Thank you :)
I hope my doctors take me serious about my other health issues, but for now, i find your content has helped alleviated my pain! , Thank you 🙏
AirFire18 I have had mystery illnesses and pain as well since childhood, and I’m 64! I wish you well! He’s great, huh? 💕
@@Tinyteacher1111 I'm really sorry to hear that. It must have been very difficult. I hope you are feeling better :) ! and yes, he is amazing! I have felt very alone in my journey to feeling better cause I do know something is off. i feel i underlying issue with something since i'm prone to infections :( So, now that i'm following him, I noticed his explanation of things is helping me understand how I can help myself. It does provide people some hope since i've only gotten one diagnosis for my liver but it doesn't explain my other pains. I eat modertely well and I don't drink. So, i feel so greatful he has detox videos and what not :D
AirFire18 Thank you so much for your well-wishes. Unfortunately, I think I’ll be plagued with this lower back issue and leg aches forever. Hope not, though!
I hope you’re doing well, too!!
I totally understand the loneliness and isolation!!!! I’ve lost a lot of relationships, friends, and family because I’ve been unable to do so many things. No one understands the severity of having chronic pain, unless they’ve had it.
I sincerely wish you well, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you need to get your feelings out! I’m a good listener dnd understand. (Unfortunately, I talk a lot! Must be from my 40 year teaching career!!
It is true the world need more people like you who help others to get well God blessed you
DR. MANDELL YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE, THANK YOU 🙏!!!!!!
I am so grateful that you spend your time and help people like me that live with a lot of pain. I am going to start doing the exercise and hopefully avoid to have an epidural that last for a few months.
Thank you 🙏
I agree, Dr. Mandell is a gift to so many. How are things going for you?
Dear Dr. Mandela, can never give you enough appreciation and thanks for helping me to regain my body strength at 79 years old. Your exercises have helped relieve my pain in many parts of my body. I feel amazingly younger and more self confident in myself. You are a wonderful doctor and so happy you have videos to help people. God bless you and your family. Stay safe and enjoy each day! Thanks, Nancy
Thank you SO MUCH!! I’ve been in pain for 3 days! I can never get into my chiropractor when I need to. I also always seem to injure myself on Fridays and have to suffer all weekend until I can call for an appt on Monday which are always a couple more days out. Sciatic pain is the worst! Legs were so tight and painful I could hardly even look down! After a few stretches the pain in my legs that was down to my ankles moved back up to the hips! Yes! Thank you!!! ❤️
I'm a 'Friday after 5:00 p.m.' ailment person too, plus I often have that problem added on to a major holiday too. For example, I just spent my Thanksgiving 2022 in the nearest ER, having had lower back pain/spasms for 3 days prior and ever since as well. There's no calling for appointments until Monday morning and some may be weeks away still. Our healthcare system is set up to be manageable for doctors, but is often not so for the patient. It needs to somehow be manageable for BOTH. For many patients, help needs to come much SOONER; otherwise they suffer more during the delay and sometimes have a longer recovery because they weren't able to be treated soon enough. 'Do no harm' still applies, and sometimes delay of treatment is clearly doing harm. Waiting at urgent care places is first come/first served, not triaged in any continuous way. Some patients can wait 1-1/2 hours easier than others. Even ERs can have long waiting times. I wish we had everyday healthcare rapidly available 24/7 by doing healthcare providers' shifts differently so they still get necessary time off and normal sleep. Health problems don't happen according to the calendar and should be able to be promptly adressed, independently from it.
Thank you so much for this information. I have had this for many years and now that I'm older and really pushed myself by moving halfway across the country with no help, it really took a toll on my sciatica. I do not take any meds, but just doing the stretches I used to do has not been working. Now I can understand, how the option of these different alternatives can help me. Thank you. At 74, having had a broken back in two places at age 24, I can't complain. Everything I do is based around natural methods and this helps me more than you know! You are a blessing.
Dr Mendall I like you already, you’re are God sent. God bless you
Hi Dr. Mandell I'm very proud of you and all your vedios are good. I'm senior 69 yrs. of age and always follows your lectures. I'm applying some of them. I'm your follower here in Tagbilaran City, Bohol Phil.. God Bless you.. Be safe.... Josie G.
When I was in my late twenties I was plagued with lower back pain. I went to a chiropractor and he took an x-ray of my lower back. The lower part of my spinal column had a curve to the left looking from the back. My pelvis wasn't level it was low on the left and high on the right. The chiropractor worked with me for about 3 months and then took another x-ray. The X-ray showed that the curve in the spinal column was gone and that pelvis was level. He gave me the same stretch exercises you showed. As long as I do the stretches I'm fine but if I stop for two or three months I notice the tightness coming back and sometimes a little pain. Without a doubt the stretches work. Thank you for posting this video. I hope a lot of people will try the stretches before they think of an operation.

Thank you for the confirmation!!!
Hello Doc. Thank you so much for this video. Always watching here YAMANASHI-KEN JAPAN!!!!❤️❤️❤️
MK, thank you for sharing your story, further confirming that the streches Dr. Mandell is illustrating and talking about work!
Chairo's make you come back, over and over, endlessly. That's how they make money. Making money is their main objective; not necessarily your health. Let's be real.
I've been watching this teary eyed because I've been in pain for almost 2 years now and I'm kinda discouraged. I'm 55 and I lost the lightness in my step , it feels like my mind forgot how to walk properly, I wobble now , I walk like a penguin , I feel so stiff and heavy . At 15:39 MDoc says : " the pelvic is supposed to rock when you walk " or you compensate.. That's me! I hope it's not to late! Some of these stretches I do , but I guess I do not do them as often enough, because I was wondering if I could be worsening my case, but after watching this I'm going to find the best ones for me and do them every single day. Thanks for being you Doc and for this video! xx
Yes this is a great doctor. Whenever I have an issue, I look for his video. I have been having pain in lower back, that radiates down buttocks to back of left leg. Siaciatic nerve pain. Pain severe started taking OTC pain meds. Will begin a few of your sitting in chair stretches. Now with this virus so contagious, trying to stay away from doctor's. Not you. Will keep the chair stretches. May God 🙏 bless you. I will watch you video about keeping safe from the virus. Thank you sooooo much.
I've been following your migraine videos for some time now and they're fabulous, and have really helped alleviate some of my attacks. This week when I twisted something in my lower back, I found these exercises, and they're helping me get back to the gym. Thank you so much Dr Mandell.
Thank you Jesus for this video, I’m truly grateful.
Unbelievably thankful for these techniques!
I am blown away how you released this video on the exact day I pinched a nerve in my lower back and have been miserable for 3 days! This is the second time your gift has helped me; the first time was for a neck spasm and, once again, you released your passive resistance exercises for neck spasms that very same day! Either you’re connect to my phone, or you are God’s answer to prayer! These REALLY HELP...THANK YOU!!
Best Doctor I have ever seen in my life
Wonderful information. Perfect timing and just what I needed.
Thank you so much Dr Mandell. I've been having very painful back pain and now I'm doing your exercises on here. I'm getting some well needed relief. I was walking around like an old lady for days. Now getting relief..😊👍❤🙏
Fabulous! You make so much sense. Just finished a round of PT for sciatica pain, but watching this I see what I am doing wrong. Concentrating to much on the numbers, 2 sets of 15 etc. instead of holding the stretches. Will be changing that in the morning and adding a few more in. Thanks Doc!
I am a 62 year old woman with type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism and severe anemia at 8.3. I have no energy but I can do some of these exercises but the ones on the floor I can't due to pain trying to get on the floor and off of the floor. Some of those exercises that I can do I do while laying in bed and sometimes it helps and sometimes it don't. I do thank you for your time in making this video.
Wow, Dr. Mandell! I was surprised to see that at least 50% of the stretches you recommended are the same ones I've been doing. I actually thought I'd made them up, lol. They always make my lower back pain & sciatica feel better. Hopefully I can avoid surgery. Thank you for all you do
I have that problem also that's why I like him so much because I'm trying to avoid surgery myself
Me too
Me too
Morning Doc A. This video is made for me. Since 2005, I could no longer work due to 60% of my lumbar discs being herniate bulging and degenerated. And take several pain medicines daily to minimize the pain, which fluctuates daily between 6/10 on the pain scale. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. PS Life sucks I'm only 55. Thank you for your kindness and video for all. God Bless
Number Six Son I live a quarter of a life due to pain. I agree!
Number Six Son know how you feel! Same age, same horrible pain! 😖😖
I can relate and im in my late 40s. Got a heirnated disk spinal stenosis and extrusion ill try these and keep researching for answers i dont wanna take more meds i heard kratom is good i dont want a surgery but well see what happens

@@numbersixson3980 thank u surgery would be my last resort but its a thought i was told by a specialist that surgery aint a option yet unless my paij comes back to my leg cuz i have extrusionS as well but that doesnt mean the pain aint bad
I just saved this video because my body needs it. Thank you doctor Alan Mandell
Blessings 🙏
God bless you for making such awesome videos on the best stretches to help relieve back and neck pains that are most common problems people are suffering from. ❤️
Thank you Dr. Mandell, it's 3 am and I cannot sleep, feel quite sick , nauseous, pelvis locked, I think from cam boot on 1 leg. On the floor doing your exercises. Feel better.
Hugs and squeezes from me😊❤ in Australia
I have lower back pain and these videos help me a lot . Thank you so much Dr. Mandell for giving your time to help the people who have health problems. USA follower
Once again, thank you, Doctor! I’ve suffered from serious back issues since birth. I was born with both of my legs wrapped around my head. My parents were told that I would be that the rest of my life but three days later I was laid out flat and normal (?) all by myself. Work injuries throughout my construction career have not helped. The smartest thing I’ve ever bought was a inversion table. Not a night goes by that I don’t look forward to your videos!
Thank you Dr. Mandell for this great information. We all need to practice some type of stretching exercise to protect our backs from injuries. Practicing good posture is a must. God bless you for all you do❣
Thank you so much for posting this video sir. Have a blessed evening Dr. Mandell!!!🤗😊🙏
Very informative as always sir. I really appreciate your honesty. By the way I’ve suffering from buttock pain when sitting after a car accident but I’m very much mobil pain free, however my chiropractor wanted to send to pain management for shot after I refused a surgery ! By the way he didn’t even touch me or evaluate me, I went back to him and brought up the issue after I got evaluated from spine surgeon who said my pain is due to piriformes syndrome not spine issue. Thank you again very much Dr Mandel.
Dr. Mandel,
I slipped when I was mowing my yard and I have been experiencing lower back pain; when to the doctor...he could find anything; I so glad I find your channel; I am going to start doing the stretches.
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you, Dr. Mandell. I have been suffering from lower back pain (Sciatic) for many years, have been to see many chiropractors, orthopedics, and neurologists and honestly the last chiropractor I visited was the best, he had me on spinal decompression with physical therapy that made a significant difference in my lower back pain which for the most part the physical therapy was the same as the vlog you have provided. I have reached a plateau and think I will run through these stretches again to find others to help my lower back and get my hamstrings to loosen up again. I do have problems with twisting my lower back it seems to have a negative effect and makes my pain more intense for several days afterward. Thanks again for this great information you share.
Dr. Mandel you are greatly blessed we are blessing you more thanking you even more for teaching us to get better. God bless you.
Hello,a few months ago i cannot move my left arms throughout my shoulder and its painful and i really appreciate all the knowledge you’ve sharing to all of us.It really work!Thank you so much🙏more power and more people follow you Dr.Mandel i really recommend it.
Yoga moves really work!! Thank you!
We do many of these stretches and it’s great conformation I’m on the right track. Dr. Mandell, is a great
Healer and teacher
You explain everything that everyone can understand!!🙏
I love you, Dr. Mandell, because you are helping a lot of people including me, you are the best, God bless you!!
Thank you Doctor for all the best exercises in your videos. God Bless you Doctor Mandell.
Thank you ! You are a God send everything you are telling I need right now I can't work because of this pain . I prayed for God to help me and your video popped up. Thank you again I'm going to start these right away.
Thank you Dr. Mandell great information.
I have been doing a lot of these exercises. It does help a lot, I will try the other ones I have seen. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
I will be 80 in September. ,I kept waiting for your video to come up with something to sell me at the end. I was surprised when I realized you truly, wanted to help for nothing in return. I am very clumsy & have brittle bones. I I took a balance class for the past year & was very limited in what exercises were allowed. This year I signed up for a senior program that offers some exercise programs. One I accidentally got into was made up of people who spoke Mandarin. Although I couldn't keep up or speak their language they were so welcoming. Many of the exercises they tell me to do daily were things you suggested. I plan to study your suggestions & see if they help me. Thank you for trying to help others.
Right now am feeling pain in my lower back and hip am going to do some of them I always watch your show and it is excellent not going to stop watching it thank you God bless you because you're helping me and also other people
We need some doctors like you in Jamaica
thanks for sharing this video. I can vouch for about half of these. I worked with a massage tharapist that helped me with alot of my back, knee and sciatica issues and showed me alot of these. I will be adding your additional ones. I have avoided back surgery for about 6 years now by doing them.
Such GREAT information! I’ve had chronic lower back pain and leg aches since childhood, and I’m 64. I’ve been aware of the Mac Kenzie Method for quite a long time but wasn’t sure if it was outdated or not (That’s one of the reasons I like Toyotas!). I’m glad to know that my yoga stretches and routines are still ok, especially because they feel great! But, some doctors, chiropractors, NUUCA chiropractors, athletes, trainers (never had one, but know some), tell you different things. I trust you the most!
You’ve helped me remember some great back and leg stretches, and find new positions especially to relieve the lower back compression and get relief for the leg aches I get.I always want to share this info, but some people are very resistant. I’ll keep trying!
Thank you so very much for sharing your extensive knowledge, compassion and positivity!! 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕
Your video using a soft bristle brush on your neck was on my feed when I got up in excruciating pain this morning. I tried it out, it worked and then I continued to watch more of your videos. I've already used multiple techniques you've shown and am feeling much better than I was in just 2 hours of time. I cant wait to keep learning more from you and implementing it into my daily life and routines and experiencing how much it changes my pain filled life and sharing it with my mom and others I know who suffer. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share with the world. I wish I could have you as my doctor but for now I'm already thankful just for the information you share.
Thank you Lord for this particular person Dr. Allan Mandell
Your excercise have really improved my back. Thank you Dr Mandell
Dr Mandell you are amazing very helpful. 💗💓💗💓💗Thanks for helping so many people including me. Whatever I learn from you I pass it onto others . Sharing is caring xxx
Today is my 4th day of my lower back exercises given by Dr. Mendell. It has improved my back alot. Since I am suffering from all joint pains for last 15 years . Going from one doctor to another doctor...but no relief. I am feeling so much relief now. Just begin the exercises for 30 sec. For those who are in pains....then gradually increase 40 second. These exercises are also helping for upper back. Hats off to you...Dr. Thank you so much.
I'm suffering from back pain. It's so good information. Thank you do much dr.👏👏👏
Thank you Dr.for ALL of your videos, I see a difference in ALL areas of my life, I want to thank you for your knowledge, I am grateful to you. Have a great day!

I feel better just watching, thanks doc.
Thank you so much for selflessly trying to help us! I will try these as I am having sciatic issues!
Thank you for making these! You’ve inspired me to keep trying despite the pain and for reminding me that I already know most of these exercises from Pilates and Yoga and to keep at it.
Thank you very much for the helpful videos to receive lower back pain.
Every time I go into my TH-cam Dr you put a video of my conditions it’s like you can see me personally ❤️
Very informative as always sir. Thank you so much for all your do dr. You are the best.
I couldn’t get out of bed for five days due to overdoing it at the gym, although they weren’t heavy exercises. Started doing your exercises and it helped me in a couple of days. Thanks for all your info, really appreciate your help
wonderful exercises. please provide a leaflet containing all the exercises in a document
I could not get out of bed without any injuries or workouts..These stretches are slowly helping.
Thanks Doc. For sharing all good information to get rid of pain
This is awesome! I've been in pain (lower back) for months now as a result of a gym injury. I'm going to start these stretching exercises right away. Also, thank you for educating while teaching! God bless you!!
How are u now sir after 2 years now of your backpain
I really love following him he is so knowledgeable helpful compassionate caring he's terrific I share his videos all the time
Dr. I like you.
A lot of good things you give me/us.
And you explain as you speak.
You make sense.
I now have a routine I do .
Some of them I don’t use yet/some I will ease into……each month is something new.
Thank you ☺️👩🏾👋✝️
Thanks Dr Mandell, God is using you to help us and he knew that I needed help today. God bless you.
Oh yes. I can relate to this. It’s awful. I’ve been watching what I’ve been eating. See if this brings it on. I keep walking, and do, do exercises, these stretches I’ve been doing since the sciatic pain started up yesterday. So far so, so. Thank you so very much for this video. It is very helpful. I’m 74 years old.
Thank you. This is the best video I have ever watched. You give us so many options. I’m a carpenter and many times my leg will just suddenly tighten up. I go into a room and just try and stretch until something works.There are many stretches I have never seen before
Thanks again
Thanks for the video. I'm suffering now with burning lower back pain from bulging discs and arthritis going down my leg. I'm trying everything. Praying for relief 🙏
Great video! Well explained. Just what I was looking for.
Another video to be bookmarked, thanks Doc.
Thx Dr I've had 2 lower back surgeries and now I have sciatica which is very painful it has affected my mobility immensely and seeing these stretches I k ow will help what I appreciate you saying is just do what you can you don't have to do it exactly but do your best...its like taking small steps one at a time any movement is better then none at all.
.thanks for all you do God Bless you and your family ❣️
Thanks 🙏 a lot Dr Mandell!! I had mentioned this pinched nerves and sciatica on one of your videos were you were showing a lower back stretch, and I said to you how much my 84 year old mom was suffering from this conditions, I thank you 🙏 so much for this video, she had 3 herniated disk surgeries in The passed that probably she didn’t even needed, thanks God for doctors like you,Amen!🙏 her knees are a big problem too, in April she had the jell injections on both knees and it didn’t work she’s also having problems walking because of the pain, now she’s also have to have an MRI to see was going on, hopefully they don’t say she needs surgery, thanks a lot Dr Mandell and make a great evening, God Bless you and your momma AMÉN!🙏❤️🙌🙌
Hi sir.for 4days I suffer from back pain .Today you saved me dr.God bless you ❤️💖💝🌹
Hi! I’ve been trying to do a few of your exercises and my sciatic nerve has been better. Thank you so much for all your help. I will keep trying to keep stretching that area of my lower back and leg and butt muscles. It works guys.❤️
