I swear you guys are amazing. I had struggled with bad sciatica due to bulging disc's after L2-L4 compressed spine. The workman's comp doctors were hell bent on surgery with only a 50/50 chance it would actually fix my spine. I decided to opt out and seek alternative medicine. Started looking for chiropractors and before I could get into an office decided to look online to at least alleviate some pain until I could be seen. I end up finding you guys, soo glad I didn't write you off. I was in pain for years and after doing your exercises (the cobra) mainly about 3x a day for 2 days my spine aligned enough to where I was pain free for the first time in years almost immediately! I was in disbelief but seriously this helped. My back has been getting stronger although I have some bad days but these exercises and you guys are god-sends. Thank you soo much for helping me. It has drastically improved my quality of life.
Gentlemen! I have had bother with my back since my twenties. Now, in my 61st year, I have arthritis in my 3rd and 4th neck vertebrae and my lower spine has always been a spot of bother (40 years of bent forward office desk posture is what it...). You have managed to do something that nobody else managed: Namely to get my lazy backend going and do something about these issues, myself . To me, it is the western disease to take the attitude to wait until somebody comes to help you: It will never happen. Between your advice for a back roll, bending inwards to 'hollow' my lower spine, and to stay active, keep moving, has almost completely done away with some seriously strong sciatica. I can't thank you enough! I wish I could repay you: Thank you! You guys are utterly brilliant!
Guyz I found a wonderful program…at the site: 4SciaticaPainCure.blogspot.com I never thought that my sciatica could be healed by such a simple method. Really, no one needs to suffer from sciatica anymore using this amazing method.?
My condition is taking several months,close to a year now to feel better.(everyone is different) I have to persevere think positive stretch and stay active. This was a life changing event for me. No one can relate to the debilitating pain and discomfort of sciatica unless they have had it.
@@sabinabastola8371 Hello, I am 85% better from over a year ago. walking every day Turmeric/multi-Vitamin every morning.Staying hydrated take care of myself.NO heavy lifting ever again. 85% means the issue is sill there at some degree.but very manageable.
Same here. About 9 months with my bulging disc. Also at about 85%, not much pain or discomfort unless I do something that puts more strain on my back. Icing every night, doing physical therapy at home, and multivitamin.
I had sciatica 20 years ago. I have a 8 month old grandson that I babysit. He's heavy .I also have 2 flights of stairs that I can't avoid. The sciatica is back and I immediately looked for your videos. I'm sitting in a hard chair and will start the exercises. Thank you.
I just put the rolled up towel behind my lower back with a heating pad on top of it and my pain went away in about 5 minutes! Will be doing the stretch every day. Now I know that my new routine of walking up a hill is probably the culprit. Many thanks to you guys, you are a blessing.
Thanks for the exercises! I just got back from my Nurse Practitioner who diagnosed me with sciatica. She recommended your channel and exercises. I was already following you guys and doing a few of them with some relief. Now that I have her blessing I can add these to the 2 already in my routine. You guys are the real deal. Thank you so much for teaching us!!
You guys are doing Gods work!! I feel so much better today just by making those changes yesterday afternoon!! Thank you so much for being generous with your knowledge ❤️
Best thing about my 1993 F150 is the adjustable lumbar support. If I'm hurting, nothing helps better than seat time in the truck. I can adjust the support to what feels best
I wish they actually made vehicles for tall people. Cars seats sit way too low and not high enough for those of us with long legs and a long torso. Same with plane seats. Same with sinks in public bathrooms. Everything is made for short people and average people. NOTHING for tall people. Nothing
I love you guys! I have been following you 2 for years....and I came here today to see a solution for my pain that goes from my lower back down to my knee...and I see that you are working on a cure for a broken heart....still. I will keep checking back for advice when I....someday....again....have a broken heart! Thanks, guys!
This world is so lucky to have you! God bless. You have no idea the positive change you made in my life during the pandemic after I got hit by a tractor trailer and the company took a long time to response and accept responsibility. I love you!
I have a patient that has persistent sciatica. I referred out to ortho, but this video will help for the next time I see her. Please consider adding adequate modifications for those that are severely obese and / or elderly. Thanks.
Last March I inadvertently spent 6 hours in a car seat sitting on my 1 in. thick wallet. Pretty sure it herniated a disc because the sciatica was horrendous for about 8 weeks. Your videos helped give me some comfort on those difficult days and nights. THank you. I am 38/m.
Thanks so much for this video. Your timing is perfect as I've had two weeks of a sciatica flare up. It's grinding pain to live with but your advice will certainly help me get through this. Interestingly, when I have the flare up, I find myself wanting to adopt these good sitting habits naturally and im always adjusting my lower back to keep that curve. But when I'm well, I just forget and fall into bad habits. The body is wise but the mind is (in my case) quite dumb.
Thank you! So interesting that you mentioned brushing teeth, sometimes when I’m brushing my teeth I can feel a bit of sciatica starting to come about. I think I just feel it more when I bend in that specific way.
Try this: open the cabinet door under the sink and put one foot up on the cabinet. Then, while in that position, brush and rinse your teeth. This position takes the pressure off your back.
What's been discussed in this video: Soft seats (make it worse), car seats that make the lower back slide downwards, partial reclined seats (need straight back), use of a lumbar towel roll, Mackenzie extensions in supine position - how to tell whether it's working for you or not and last but not least, do not round your back when you bend to pick up stuff - how to do it right. You guys make me wish I'd chosen to go to physiotherapy school! ❤️❤️❤️
Love ur videos!!! I have to tell you about a problem I have with aggravating my sciatica. While standing, if I turn opposite of the sciatica side, it suddenly makes it MUCH worse!! I've got to remember to turn slowly towards the side with sciatica
I was being treated for sciatica by a chiropractor, but my progress was slow and uncertain; then, on the way home after a treatment, I tried my own treatment AND IT WORKED, IMMEDIATELY. All I did was to force myself about thirty yards (I wasn't in good enough condition to go further) up a hill as quickly as possible. That did it. That was over fifteen years ago, but. the pain stopped immediately and has never reoccurred. I don't know if this method has been touted by anyone else, but it worked for me. Why don't you try it? You might have the same experience. Oh, I might mention that when I told my chiropractor about it, he didn't say a word, not one word. (Mon Aug 15, 2022)
Just found your channel. Sitting and standing both make issues for me. I have pain in my right hip, but it's not bad. The pain that bothers most is in my big toe on my right foot, this is combined with a tingling/kinda numbness going down the outside of my thigh, wrapping around my lower leg, across my metatarsal to my big toe. The pain in my toe, and sometimes second toe, feels like it's frozen cold, that kind of pain, and even a heating pad on the foot will not help. Sometimes the toe even looks a bit purple. What needs fixing?
@@tanyawieczorek6603 yes, all of those. Found out it took some yoga, exercise, and correcting my posture helped. Also, some things I was doing pinched the nerve, stopping those habits helped.
You two are amazing! I am only 22 and am suffering from costochondritis from improper excercise and poor posture, as well as sciatica, I'm trying to build myself up and keep myself healthy to live a chronic pain free life 👍 thank you for posting these videos and being informational, wholesome, and I love the intro 🙏
Thanks for the tips and exercise. I've had extreme pain the last few weeks in my legs, hips and numbness in the rear when sitting after a few minutes. I didn't think about the bending I do when I brush my teeth. I also bend incorrectly when emptying the dishwasher, getting clothes out of the dryer, and picking things off the floor, etc.
At 5:25 in the video time line, your explanation of how the procedure of laying on your stomach and propping yourself up on elbows or pillows was a little more in-depth than that. I read the pamphlet from the doctor who had discovered that on accident. He had just seen a patient and as he walked that patient out, he instructed the next patient, a man in his late forties, to go into the exam room, take off his shirt and lay face down on the table. The doctor came in about 15 minutes later to find his patient laying fac3e down on the exam table that was positioned in a 45 degree angle. The doctor helped the man off the table and the man said his back had not felt better in a long time. So the doctor, after some contemplating, realized that the laying face down and raising your upper torso in a 45 degree and causes the fluid in the bulging disc to move back to the front of the disc & away from the sciatic nerve that it is aggravating. I read that while waiting to see my doctor about my back, around 1999 - 2000.
Hallo Brad and Bob. I enjoy watching your videos, and I am learning a lot from watching them!! For 6 months now, I have been getting these sharp pains (off and on) in the right hip, and I occasionally feel a lot of pain in the quads and the hamstrings as well. Also, I've been experiencing quite a bit of pain in the groin area. Is it also connected with Sciatica? At first I thought playing Pickleball was the cause of all the pain that I've been having over the past 6 months. After watching your video above, I've concluded that all the pain I've been experiencing was from sitting many hours 6-8 hours a day in front of the computer, working on my foreign language studies. I am almost 70 years old now. What's a good solution for getting rid of the pain in the groin area? I really appreciate you guys!!
I watched this and had to laugh the car seat in my work car has been causing me so much back and leg pain. I tried the exercise and it really helped. Unfortunately the pain came back after using the car today. I have arthritis and spondylolisthesis with no bulging discs. I don't want to take medication but not sure what the right approach should be. I will follow Bob and Brad and thank you for your tips.
Hey guys; some very important small details there that i must remember in everyday movement. I have had chronic sciatica for over 7 yrs now so anything that helps is a blessing. I had a minor keyhole surgery to my abdomen however somehow they messed up and ended up with no adominal wall so stenosis with sciatica quickly followed so any help is very helpful and appreciated.
Here are some videos and our sciatica program that you can try. Hopefully you can find some things in one or more of these that can help: www.bobandbrad.com/health-programs/sciatica-relief-program www.youtube.com/@BobandBrad/search?query=sciatica th-cam.com/video/GbJgE0LPKCk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CLIubiyBOk9vCTGn
I enjoy your videos. It is difficult to find videos with physical therapy for cervical dystonia and it is also difficult to find a therapist who has worked with patients who have this. Hopefully, sometime down the road you or someone will really look into this condition and give demos. It would probably take a while.
@Pat Pat Moo Moo They showed both causes and also a couple of stretches. Just search their videos and you'll see SEVERAL videos dedicated to the treatment of Sciatica. :) Here is one video here: th-cam.com/video/z6ZX1yAjXuc/w-d-xo.html
Your exercises are so very helpful, but this one is difficult for me to do with arthritic hands, I'm unable to put pressure on them. Just got my OH to do the leg pulling exercise for painful hips & pain when walking and the pain in my right hip has gone for now. Brilliant thank you.
TRY THIS>> lay on your back and bring your foot out to your side with knee on the bed or floor 90 degrees or more or less… on which ever side you have sciatica) push down on the top of your but on the same side to open it up.. i use a fist knuckle to push the spot down. You can bring the foot up higher if it helps. But that angling my knee INWARD with foot outward HELPS. you can also do this in a lunge position with hurt side knee down with foot pushed up outward by the bed or wall corner and lunge stretch. Hope this helps you get relief too. Also cold water.
Hi Bob and Brad, I am suffering from Radial Nerve Palsy.. fingers drop and not able to rotate my hand since 1 month. Could you please tell me the exercises and stretches for this problem?? Waiting for your valuable response
You should see a hand surgeon then a certified hand therapist. You may need to be in a splint that helps extend your wrist and fingers. Go on HTCC org or ASSH.org to find one in your area. Time is what you need to let the nerve recover from the compression.
It has been almost 3 years since my first experience with sciatica and feeling has not returned fully to my toes. I've seen a back specialist at a hospital with a great reputation for orthopedic care and I have never had such shoddy treatment. She had an intern take notes and then barely listened to what I was asking. Is it normal to have the nerve pain come back to my lower leg and continued numbness of varying intensity for 3 years. Is there a risk of permanent damage? If you could give me direction that would be great. Thanks.
Good luck with the idiot doctors physical therapist and any type of pain medication 💊 I've been suffering with back and neck pain for 10 years nobody cares even my nuro surgeon oh sorry I never got to talk to him on the phone only his nurse but she said after both my fusions if you need another surgery we can do that but we can't help you with your pain
HI BOB & BRAD, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIECING SO MUCH PAIN IN THE GLUTES AREA, IT STARTED IN LOWER BACK. I JUST GOOGLE ENFO ABOUT A BRACE FOR SCIATICA and A SCIATICA NERVE BRACE CAME UP, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE "UPLIFTEX" PLEASE HELP!
You are so right, teachers Bob and Brad! Everything comes from a bad posture. More and more I am watching your videos, more and more I understand. I have a question for you, teachers. How do you stand up if you fall on the ground and you are hémiplégique on one side of your body? I lost a lot of strength on the right side of my body and if I fall how do I get up on my 2 feet? Please, Bob and Brad,🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Thank you I have been dealing with sciatica nerve going down my left side now it's on both sides. I know I'm overweight pain management told me that but I've been dealing with this sciatica nerve for the past left side month-and-a-half right side about a week I could take the pain to this time I had to go to emergency they didn't do much gave me a Motrin and tell him going on thank you for this exercise I'll tell one of my pharmacist lady to get ahold of you guys she's having the same problem and she's overweight she sits all day try not to sit all day I move around try not to lift anything heavy can been all the way down like that I have arthritis in my back and in my knees so the older we get I'm having more problems with my body 61 years old used to do aerobics and weight training. 9 years ago check my right side now getting back in physical therapy but it's the machines hey we don't do the stretching and I go Mondays to physical therapy
I'm feeling ok. Have compressed discs in all back, have severe torn hamstring in right leg, asthma, and sleep apnea. I don't get much back pain but I get it when trying to loose weight. I weigh 280 lbs and stand 5'7" tall.Arms hurt when trying to get into better health. Do you know how I can get myself into better shape so I can live a longer healthier life?
Why does my back begin to hurt, when i force a better posture? After keeping my spine straight, when i start to bend it like...sideways it makes some noise, also feels goooood to slouch again.
My mom unfortunately used go for physical therapy for her back, but it was to expensive is there any exercises at home that she can do that you can provide her with for her back

I should've mentioned that i tried the heating pad without the towel with minimal relief. The towel was key!
I've been doing the squats when I "bend down" lately and that's one thing that REALLY has helped my back.
I love the lunges

Best thing about my 1993 F150 is the adjustable lumbar support. If I'm hurting, nothing helps better than seat time in the truck. I can adjust the support to what feels best
Great feature!
I wish they actually made vehicles for tall people. Cars seats sit way too low and not high enough for those of us with long legs and a long torso. Same with plane seats. Same with sinks in public bathrooms. Everything is made for short people and average people. NOTHING for tall people. Nothing

Thanks again for your instruction, I did wonder about the cobra form...and you have done an exercise with a similar form of exercise
Thank you so much Bob & bard .
Thank you for this information. I bought a computer gaming chair over a month ago, I’m finally sitting in it the way I’m supposed to
Can I do these exercises if I had herniated disc surgery?
They’re both baked i love it love this channel
No, no, not at all
Thank you so much guys. Great advice.
I enjoy your videos. It is difficult to find videos with physical therapy for cervical dystonia and it is also difficult to find a therapist who has worked with patients who have this. Hopefully, sometime down the road you or someone will really look into this condition and give demos. It would probably take a while.
🤓 Godsends. These two. 💓
So do that before adjusting the seat? Like put something behind my back my lower back before adjusting the seat?
I was hoping to hear about treatment for sciatica . Thanks!
@Pat Pat Moo Moo They showed both causes and also a couple of stretches. Just search their videos and you'll see SEVERAL videos dedicated to the treatment of Sciatica. :) Here is one video here: th-cam.com/video/z6ZX1yAjXuc/w-d-xo.html
The adjustments they showed are treatments. They work.
Love you two - make me laugh which hurts my sciatica :)

Great advice thanks - all of the suggestions worked for me!

Your exercises are so very helpful, but this one is difficult for me to do with arthritic hands, I'm unable to put pressure on them. Just got my OH to do the leg pulling exercise for painful hips & pain when walking and the pain in my right hip has gone for now. Brilliant thank you.
TRY THIS>> lay on your back and bring your foot out to your side with knee on the bed or floor 90 degrees or more or less… on which ever side you have sciatica) push down on the top of your but on the same side to open it up.. i use a fist knuckle to push the spot down. You can bring the foot up higher if it helps. But that angling my knee INWARD with foot outward HELPS. you can also do this in a lunge position with hurt side knee down with foot pushed up outward by the bed or wall corner and lunge stretch. Hope this helps you get relief too. Also cold water.
I am getting a epidural injection tomorrow to help with my recovery.

Hi Bob and Brad,
I am suffering from Radial Nerve Palsy.. fingers drop and not able to rotate my hand since 1 month. Could you please tell me the exercises and stretches for this problem??
Waiting for your valuable response
You should see a hand surgeon then a certified hand therapist. You may need to be in a splint that helps extend your wrist and fingers. Go on HTCC org or ASSH.org to find one in your area.
Time is what you need to let the nerve recover from the compression.

It has been almost 3 years since my first experience with sciatica and feeling has not returned fully to my toes. I've seen a back specialist at a hospital with a great reputation for orthopedic care and I have never had such shoddy treatment. She had an intern take notes and then barely listened to what I was asking. Is it normal to have the nerve pain come back to my lower leg and continued numbness of varying intensity for 3 years. Is there a risk of permanent damage? If you could give me direction that would be great. Thanks.
Good luck with the idiot doctors physical therapist and any type of pain medication 💊 I've been suffering with back and neck pain for 10 years nobody cares even my nuro surgeon oh sorry I never got to talk to him on the phone only his nurse but she said after both my fusions if you need another surgery we can do that but we can't help you with your pain
Hope you guys publish your videos for purchase
Thank you for helping me!
thank you bob and brad
