    Stop here please. I have chronic lower pain for years and kept wondering why a young girl like me should experience such. Last night I stumbled on this page and boom immediately tried the last exercise as I was already in bed guess what I woke up with no pain😮I also tried the standing exercise at the office. Please don’t waste your money on doctors. If you stumble on this page take the exercise seriously it worked like magic. Back to another round before i go to sleep. Thank you for this video. God bless you richly.
  • OMG what a saviour you are. I was suffering with such excruciating pain the last 3 days. Unable to walk, stand, sit or even lie down. I did your exercise only once and like magic the pain went off. My family could not believe their eyes. As I was hovering around the last 3 days. I hope I’ll be better tomorrow as well. I’m going to bed now. Thank you a million. God Bless. 🙏🏽❤️

    I weight 220lbs and I *had sciatica for around 10 months(I got it while doing barbel shoulder press in the gym with 170lbs). My symptoms were numbing/tingling in the outside thigh, knee, calve and foot. With time they've only gone down and lastly it disappeared. The main thing I did to get rig of *any symptoms what dead-hangs on the bar, at least two times a week, with dangling and swinging variations. Now I'm 99.9% free of any symptoms.
  • I USED THESE EXERCISES AT SOME REHAB CENTERS AND I BEGUN DOING THEM AGAIN WATCHING YOU DO THEM. They do work. I had two spine operations and a broken leg in one year.

I got a quick relaxing effect helped me get rid of that situation, I will keep exercising to strengthen the concerned muscles hoping to reduce recurring. Thank you doctor for the great videos
  • @kristine5286
    I’ve seen and done almost all of these exercises for years … none have helped my current bout of sciatica … the flossing was new to me and was relatively helpful. Any relief right now is a godsend so thank you.
  • Most Grateful finding your "instant fix sciatica pain" on YouTube, it works relief quickly!!! Now mostly trying to determine the cause of this pain recently the last 6 months. Years ago: age 19 in Army basic training sustained a compound fracture to T12-L1, next day spinal fusion of T11-L2 & now update at age 59 this year 2023 this veteran still walking talking with confidence by adapting and overcoming trials and tribulations through my bachelor of science degree of industrial design. Research of the Truth has set me free and I congratulate you for your time and service. Much THANKS again. Peace in your heart.
  • Thankyou, for the video's! I'm 70yrs old, and your videos are easy, to do and has helped, my pain level, greatly! Can't wait to see your next post.
  • I find all of these work really well. I already did several of them. Thanks so much. The most important thing in my experience is to do these stretches proactively when you do not have pain. Often hard to remember. But much more enjoyable then trying to stretch with pain.

    This is really helpful. I am familiar with several of the stretches from therapy sessions, but had begun to forget them and your demonstrations and explanations are wonderfully clear. I am 82 and am a serious golfer, practice a lot and play when my pension allows. But this past year I began to have real trouble with my right leg. I got severe pain from the knee down to the ankle that became so bad I could hardly lift my leg and bend my knee, had to keep the right leg straight as possible when walking, take stairs using my left leg. Made it really painful to play 18 holes even if I use a cart. Because I did not have pain in the hip area, I did not think it was sciatica. Thought about veins, but wasn't that. It would come and go, suddenly disappearing for a day or two, then coming back. I researched the anatomy of the sciatic nerve and lower branches and could see it definitely looked like the branch of the sciatic nerve at the knee, then down the outside and back of the calf. For many years, beginning in 1985, I did regular workouts at the gym, starting with about a dozen stretches I took from that great book by Bob Anderson, now in its 40th anniversary edition. I put a lot of emphasis on the legs rather than typical weight builder focus on arms and chest. Also did lower back raises and abdominals. I also used to run/jog up to 5 miles every day or so many years ago, but pretty much gave that up. But over the past five years or so I had become very irregular in going to the gym. In part this was the result of having a quadruple bypass heart operation and a colon cancer operation. Both of them were very successful and I actually don't feel any restrictions from them. But increasing age, getting out of the habit, and the resulting lack of condition do tend to let you slip into neglecting routines. And when the pandemic hit I stopped altogether. In fact, the gym I went to closed. My physical exercise has been golf practice, and the time I devoted to that replaced the time available to restart going to the gym. Two years ago I took out a membership at Planet Fitness, which had new, excellent equipment, but, head case and procrastinator that I am, I have yet to use it. But last month I went back to check it out and try to push myself to start going. That reminded me of the set of stretches I used to do so faithfully. I do stretches before swinging a golf club, but not the same. So, I did some of the floor stretches I used to do, starting with laying out flat. This is a lot harder to do than you might expect, it seems your spine curves even if you don't realize it, and you have to start by letting just your upper torso lie flat with knees and hips up, then take time and slowly relax to be able to get both upper torso and hips flat with legs straight. Your abdomen also resists at first, but eventually relaxes and flattens. And getting the head to touch the floor is also hard, seems like your neck vertebra have curved. Anyway, I added leg to the side moves to stretch the glutes, and also arching the back. Finally, I did the piriformis figure 4 stretch you show that I recalled from a therapy session several years ago. To my pleased surprise, the nerve pain in my right leg, which had been bad, went completely away. It stayed away for about ten days, but came back with a vengeance two days ago when I played a round of golf. So I started searching for piriformis and psoas stretches and came across your videos. I did some of the ones I remembered, and this afternoon and evening my right leg is basically pain free and mobile. So I will do several of these plus others you demonstrate two or more times a day now. What you show, and the results I have gotten, give me hope that this is an issue that can be fixed, not the result of a permanent deterioration of the spine from age, the kind of thing that ominously threatens mobility and can shorten life. Something I have done to myself by excessive sitting in front of the computer and watching TV that weakens and shortens both the piriformis and psoas muscles, plus neglecting my stretch routine of old, plus of course that extra 25 pounds around the middle. I apologize for being so lengthy, but the prospect of understanding what causes this crippling leg pain and finding solutions from your videos is so important to my quality of life and well being that I had to recount my story. Perhaps it will help others, and perhaps I am the type of person your videos are aimed at. So thank you. P.S. By the way, as I researched piriformis pain, what came up was a whole series of videos about treatments involving injections and surgeries even to the point of removing muscle and severing nerves. Argh, what a nightmare. Definitely something I would avoid at all costs. And another reason your solutions are so practical and positive and give hope.

    I want to thank you for the video. The number four exercise with the pull and then tilt has given me very good relief. I am an orthopedic nurse at UCSD hospital and I was not aware of this exercise. God bless you for putting this video on here. You’ve helped me out immensely.
  • I have been in so much pain lately from sciatic muscle pain that just will not ease up and I came across your video I’m definitely about to try the exercises now. Thank you & God bless you for taking the time to really show an explain the exercises.
