I’ve been walking around with a “short leg” for like 6 years. I do this for like 20 seconds and it is completely better, absolutely unreal!! I have even been 3 different chiropractors, thank you so much for posting this!
I just did this. I though I needed a chiro adjustment. Thankyou heaps. I can't believe that's all it took. I have had this problem for atleast 13 years. Until now. I can't get over how simple it was. Thanks again doc, and also thanks to youtube for making it accessible for the masses.
I fell on my tailbone in childhood and have had one leg shorter/longer than the other for as long as I can remember. Being one month short of 69, the problems have been immense and getting worse, it feels, by the day. The Quad. Lumborum on both sides are often sore or go into muscle spasms and can be down right painful. You are a Godsend! Thank you SO much for this and all of your videos & for sharing your knowledge.
Because - it seems - most MD’s , are angry they ever went into healthcare because it is controlled by BIG RX . I think many of them get so apathetic that they just go along with the agenda : prescribe , prescribe, prescribe- and ignore , ignore, ignore. They’re mad they have to pay out so much malpractice insurance and stay up to date with insanely stupid policies etc.. which is exactly how the BIG RX’s want they system to go : keep everyone increasingly sick , make them broke and eventually kill off as much of the population as possible- while making it look like it is simply “poor health” as the cause. Politicians and BIG Corporations (RX’s) need to be criminally investigated and charged
Dr Berg you are something else! I don’t even comprehend where you get this knowledge from, considering that the traditional medical establishment doesn’t talk about this stuff. You’re precious and you’re helping lots of ppl and we’re all very grateful to you
You are absolutely correct with the heel lift -- despite doc recommendation! Lift made my condition worse. Thank you for your skill and wisdom. Great Gratitude! 😇
Dr Berg, probably is a once in a lifetime Doctor!! I have never come across anyone with this kind of approach and perspective and that effective almost all the time.. In all his videos
I have never made a comment on RUclips before but felt compelled to do so after watching and putting in to practice the advice in the video. I have suffered with a shorter leg for 20 years and in the last five years has caused arthritis in the hip on the longer side and difficultly performing my job as a martial arts instructor. I less than 30 days of practicing this exercise I have had a remarkable change the leg length on the shorter side. In fact, my hips are now aligned correctly and the pain in the bad hip (longer leg), has massively improved. Thank you. No other video, physio or medical expert has ever offered me the key to make rapid improvements. 👍👍
I commented 5 years ago and put the heel lift in my shoe on long leg(left). Kinda got somewhere with it and still struggled. Yesterday I stumbled across your video again and I have an inversion table and decided to to hang just by my long(left) leg and wow what a difference a day makes! Dr Berg u r a life saver and I just wanna say cheers and thank you🍺🍺
I just tried this and for the first time I was able to walk up the stairs normally just a few minutes ago. I’ve been having to lead with my left (longer leg) and let my right leg (my shorter leg) join the left on the same step. All the pain to walk isn’t gone yet but I’ll give you an update after I try it more. I only did the exercise the 10x like he recommends. One set so far.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this video! I have had quite a severe uneven leg length from the age of 10 until now. (I'm 31) it has gotten slightly better over the years but i still notice it when i walk, stand, etc.. i was given the option of having my leg surgically broken and then lengthened with screws and wires and as a child. Thankfully my parents regected the option and after watching this video i am so glad they did. I use to do tranpolining and have played sports a lot growing up. I've always felt that perhaps my hips were uneven and not my legs as the left side of my back feels incredibly tight to the point of pain. I am going to start stretching my leg 🦵🙌
Bear in mind that a short leg presentation can also be due to anterior rotation of the pelvis on the other (long) side, or posterior rotation of the pelvis on the short side, and requires different exercises.
2 года назад+4
that is my case...what do you advise for pelvis rotation? my long leg is the left and the hip is rotate forward on that side and the hip bone it is also higher on that side...
I always knew there was something wrong but didn't think much of it. I only realised it after my tailor kept telling me to stand straight as he wasn't able to take proper measurements! now I know I actually suffer from this ! Thank you for sharing this video. :)
To get the same length legs for ever, get Atlas Profilax done on you. Everyone have different lengt legs until this is done. I know a lady I helped get a pair of shoes with different heights. I asked why she did not use them and she had had it done. The difference on her was huge, like 4 cm or something. I had it done and I got a better body position and movement, no more pain in neck when lying down. One guy I brought to do it had such bent back/shoulders and he bacame completely straight after a while. It is truly amazing. Everyone should have it done. The Atlas is in wrong position unless your mother had it done before she had you - then it is straight.
My right leg is alway short all my life, I always walk funny with one short leg , until recently I have numbness on my long leg, later my short leg also num too, put the heel lift on my short leg ( advise by my PT ), walking around 4 months, my numbness get worst and I can tell my short leg is getting shorter. Today I try with Thera band thighs on my long leg and pull away from the leg of my love seat for 30 seconds, I can’t believe my short leg are about the same with my long leg, it’s amazing , hopefully it will solve my numbness leg for good ! Dr. Berg you’re a lifesaver, thank you so very much !
After years of suffering from shuffling gait, this exercise helped me walk normal again. Yes I’m walking normal now with full confidence and all credit goes to dr berg , salute u love u and thank u from the bottom of my heart!!!
Dr. Berg. I'm a Disabled Veteran after having both knees and left hip replaced ( right hip to be replaced) I ended up with my right leg almost 1" shorter resulting in lower back pain and sciatic pain that I control with Turmeric, my Orthopedist had me insert a 1 - 3/4" heel lift that did not work if I would walk all day it would push my foot forward resulting in a small blood blisters on my toes, as a result of all the surgery and leg length problems, In Feb I was walking in a store and I felt a big pop in my left ankle and could not walk it was very painful, a MRI showed a complete torn Achilles. I had severe pain and swelling from my calf to my toes, Because of my scheduled right hip surgery and the Achilles problem and age (64) they decided not to go with surgery so I've been seating with my leg elevated for 6 months with all the crap that one goes thru seating around for months ( with Therapy ) Its 7/29 I still have some control and feeling problems but I can walk and use stairs. I still have hip problems that will be evacuated on 8/9. My concern is the leg length problem and I know that the Achilles, Back Pain, sciatic problem were caused by the leg length and over using each side of my body between surgery's WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THE LEG LENGTH !!!!!!!.
I have been going g to chiropractors for this and I still end up back in the same way. This exercise I will do myself at home, thanks. Now is there an exercise for one shoulder lower than the other and more forward than the other. The doctors I've seen can't seem to get this correct.
My chiroprator said my left leg was qute a bit shorter than my left leg and show the difference in the x-rays by my pelvic being highter on the left side. He gave me a heel lift to put on my left side. Years ago a chiropractor I worked for also gave me a heel lift and Foot Levelers. Why don't most chiropractors don't know what you are saying and have you put the heel lift on the short side??? I will change the lift to the right side, what you say makes sense.
I have severe tightness and tenderness on that part of my back but on the side w the longer leg, shorter leg side is not tight. How should I go about this? Pull shorter leg or longer leg?
I dont agree with it, some people truely have a short leg due to short bone in one leg or pelvic area and it will not go bcz its not a musle issue, its a bone issue and for that only heel lift works or bone surgery to reduce length of longer leg.
What should I do as I have an actual bone loss. Plus muscle and nerve damage. Will attempting this exercise help ? Or if it may exacerbate the pain I get? It’s 39mm loss of tibia with ‘dog leg’ union fibula. I’m 70 and had this for 50 years
Hello Dr. Berg, was wondering how long would i need to do this exercise for in order to get the length of my short leg back to the normal length. I'd been compensating my injured leg with my other leg for about five months now and I do have this short leg problem with my uninjured leg, are there other exercice that I could do to get my legs back to the way it was before?
Hi doctor my son is inborn with short leg in his left foot And in his left foot he always walk in tiptoe is this exercise can help?? Please i need answer. He is only 4 years old. Thank you.
I used to have a short left leg and the Doctor always gave me lifts for my left shoe and a wedge to put under my left hip while sitting.... It never helped and I quit using them..... The problem either went away or I got used to it....
Bill Evans You think you got over it, wait for another ten years to pass, you'll feel it. Sorry to be harsh, but it like is hiding masked by you toughness... Make sure you really know it's healed. Goodluck
i`m so glad i accidentally found this...was looking for more info on fatty liver from dr berg...i have a shorter leg so it seems and the hardest part of my day is dealing with the uncomfortable heel lift i`ve been using for 10 years which makes my knee and hip hurt by the end of the day
i'm 19 is there a possibility that my hip can go back to place? i have been taking physical therapy for a week and my therapist said that my back hip looked like it wanted to connect properly because i have scoliosis. however, i have only been to therapy twice i still have a couple of weeks of appointments left.
I just tried this based on other comments on How to do it yourself. I lay on the floor and stretched my long leg as far as I could while pulling the short leg up. It really did RElax it. I've been stretching the hell out of QL muscles to try and even my hips out.
I used a lift for this ailment, and it failed for me. Actually it gave relief for a short time, and then I got all sorts of new aches, because it didn’t solve the problem just redistributed it. Excited to try this stretch, stretches are the only technique that worked for me
My gosh I only realised I have this since I was a kid. My mother kept telling me keep still one of your trousers leg needed to be turned up more than the other. More about the history of meDr Berg . ❤️❤️👍👍thank You
Thank you Dr Berg Your method is really adapted however I think this method could be more efficient if you try the same thing elangate just breath and moveyour pelvis as a 8 . Furthermore If you keep your feet tight as a ballerina you easily scretch the tibalis anterior and the soleus at the salme time. Finally I think that Your Method is quietly more adapted to the pelvis . But what about calves and what about lumbar ? Thanks in Advance for your Answer
THANKS so much Dr, Bergs, it really works, it is kind of a miracle. I could barely walk without feeling a horrible pain but after just 2 days it was amazing the change. Now after 1 months the improvement is unbelievable. Thanks again and have a great 2018
YESSSS it is amazing but I do have to do those exercises every day. I didn't do for a couple of days and the pain came back, but let's say "another kind of pain", so I'm sure that little by little also with the help of massages I will be completelly healed. I'm a huge believer of natural medicine. First I go to the dr. for a diagnosis and after I do my research as I know by experience that my body can't take too much of the traditional medicines. So I help myself with the food and homeopatics.
Dr. Can you talk about "Kidney" health my doctor said my kidney numbers were a little high or elevated not sure what she meant by that, so how can you maintain a healthy kidney. Thx
Hello, Dr. Berg. I was born with congenital hip dysplasia. I am now 57 years of age. My right leg is shorter than my left, I'm not sure about how much. I've had several hip surgeries as a child, mostly exploratory. I have no hardware in my hip and very skeptical about hip replacement. What would you recommend for me at this point?
Hello Dr. Berg, Just watched your short leg video. My mom is a young 90 with scoliosis and I am going to try this method you have posted. Do you also recommend some kind of back brace? If so, what kind would you recommend to relieve muscle pain? Thank you in advance.
I've been seeing a Chiropractor regularly for over 3 years now for a twisted pelvis that results in sacroiliac pain. He treats my pelvis using a Thompson drop table, which helps for a day or so and then I'm back to square one. I saw my Chiro today and asked him if it was possible I had one leg shorter because of the twisted pelvis and he said, absolutely it would be the right side, which he is trying to fix. My question is this: How do I do the leg stretch pull on my own? Would I just lie down on the bed and stretch out the opposite leg as far as I can and hold it for 5-10 seconds? I've tried so many exercises including that leg stretch and nothing seems to help at all....I also have a curvature in one direction on my lower spine and a curvature to the opposite side in my upper back. I'm a mess I'm afraid....any suggestions would be helpful and I will pass them on to my Chiropractor. Thanks Dr Berg!
You described the right way and I did it today to fix my short leg. I stretched 10 times for ten seconds my longer leg. It has worked and I did this at home on my bed. I also will be trying to do it daily and see if I have other muscles which are not releasing. Hope you find some more things that help you and heal you!
What about if you wake up from hip replacement with a longer leg?? It’s been 7 months now & it’s confirmed by 2 different ortho surgeons that post surgery I’m left with a structurally longer operative leg by about 1-1.2cm…
@@Drberg Dear Doctor is it as Simple as it Appears on this Video?my Left is probably 3 cm short than the right one and am currently having troubles while walking,i have so much pain when sitting for long,am wondering if this Exercice will definitely cure me..Thanks
How often can I do this and can I do it more than 10 times? I am shorter by about 2 inches because of a hip uplift I had and have tried EVERYTHING to get my leg back to normal length. I have been dealing with this for almost 2 years and go to 3 therapists a week. Thank you.
Hi Dr. Berg, my right leg is a little bit shorter but this is because of muscle and ligament issue. So I don't have spasm. Should I still pull the longer leg in my case and avoid doing anything for my short leg?
I'm a 74 year old female and I did it....IT WORKED, Thank you, Thank you. I was skeptical, all I can say is , don't go on to the next one ...this one absolutely nails it. AMAZING!!!!
@@kerriannehancock6500 I did not do it on my own...my neighbor came over as I was reading about this procedure and she did the pulling ( I actually did an extra 2 pulls) I got up and was completely aligned...I have been walking my 2 daily miles since...YEA!!!

My chiropractor has been adjusting the left side of pelvis for a short right leg. Nice to know why this works. I was walking cricked for 30 yrs.
Are you OK now? Are your legs good?
I just did ten stretches on my long leg and it fixed my legs which are now same lengths.

When you stretch your long leg did your hips on your short leg felt like it's going upwards?

thank you so much been suffering for years
How do i do it myself?
To get the same length legs for ever, get Atlas Profilax done on you. Everyone have different lengt legs until this is done. I know a lady I helped get a pair of shoes with different heights. I asked why she did not use them and she had had it done. The difference on her was huge, like 4 cm or something. I had it done and I got a better body position and movement, no more pain in neck when lying down. One guy I brought to do it had such bent back/shoulders and he bacame completely straight after a while. It is truly amazing. Everyone should have it done. The Atlas is in wrong position unless your mother had it done before she had you - then it is straight.
My right leg is alway short all my life, I always walk funny with one short leg , until recently I have numbness on my long leg, later my short leg also num too, put the heel lift on my short leg ( advise by my PT ), walking around 4 months, my numbness get worst and I can tell my short leg is getting shorter.

How about dangling your long leg freely with ankle weights on a scheduled, daily basis until corrected?
Thanks so much Dr. Berg, it really works, I started doing it one year ago and now from time to time when I feel pain only.

i'm 19 is there a possibility that my hip can go back to place? i have been taking physical therapy for a week and my therapist said that my back hip looked like it wanted to connect properly because i have scoliosis. however, i have only been to therapy twice i still have a couple of weeks of appointments left.
I just tried this based on other comments on How to do it yourself. I lay on the floor and stretched my long leg as far as I could while pulling the short leg up. It really did RElax it. I've been stretching the hell out of QL muscles to try and even my hips out.
Hey, so how are you now after the stretching? Did it fix or help ?
I used a lift for this ailment, and it failed for me. Actually it gave relief for a short time, and then I got all sorts of new aches, because it didn’t solve the problem just redistributed it. Excited to try this stretch, stretches are the only technique that worked for me
My gosh I only realised I have this since I was a kid. My mother kept telling me keep still one of your trousers leg needed to be turned up more than the other. More about the history of meDr Berg . ❤️❤️👍👍thank You
Does this work if you had hip replacement surgery?
Thank you Dr Berg Your method is really adapted however I think this method could be more efficient if you try the same thing elangate just breath and moveyour pelvis as a 8 .
Furthermore If you keep your feet tight as a ballerina you easily scretch the tibalis anterior and the soleus at the salme time.
Finally I think that Your Method is quietly more adapted to the pelvis . But what about calves and what about lumbar ?
Thanks in Advance for your Answer
THANKS so much Dr, Bergs, it really works, it is kind of a miracle. I could barely walk without feeling a horrible pain but after just 2 days it was amazing the change. Now after 1 months the improvement is unbelievable. Thanks again and have a great 2018
Has this really worked on you?
YESSSS it is amazing but I do have to do those exercises every day. I didn't do for a couple of days and the pain came back, but let's say "another kind of pain", so I'm sure that little by little also with the help of massages I will be completelly healed. I'm a huge believer of natural medicine. First I go to the dr. for a diagnosis and after I do my research as I know by experience that my body can't take too much of the traditional medicines. So I help myself with the food and homeopatics.
How fo you do it for yourself?
Dr. Can you talk about "Kidney" health my doctor said my kidney numbers were a little high or elevated not sure what she meant by that, so how can you maintain a healthy kidney. Thx
Basically, a short leg is a symptom of another underlying problem.
How long does that last? How often do you have to do this?
Hello, Dr. Berg. I was born with congenital hip dysplasia. I am now 57 years of age. My right leg is shorter than my left, I'm not sure about how much. I've had several hip surgeries as a child, mostly exploratory. I have no hardware in my hip and very skeptical about hip replacement. What would you recommend for me at this point?
Hi Dr. My short left leg there's no pain but my longer right leg the ain is unbearably and excruciatingly painful can I still use this exercise?
My opinion is yes I am sure you gone fine
Hello Dr. Berg, Just watched your short leg video. My mom is a young 90 with scoliosis and I am going to try this method you have posted. Do you also recommend some kind of back brace? If so, what kind would you recommend to relieve muscle pain? Thank you in advance.
She needs this one: ruclips.net/video/SuRyHA2wQc8/видео.html
I've been seeing a Chiropractor regularly for over 3 years now for a twisted pelvis that results in sacroiliac pain. He treats my pelvis using a Thompson drop table, which helps for a day or so and then I'm back to square one. I saw my Chiro today and asked him if it was possible I had one leg shorter because of the twisted pelvis and he said, absolutely it would be the right side, which he is trying to fix. My question is this: How do I do the leg stretch pull on my own? Would I just lie down on the bed and stretch out the opposite leg as far as I can and hold it for 5-10 seconds? I've tried so many exercises including that leg stretch and nothing seems to help at all....I also have a curvature in one direction on my lower spine and a curvature to the opposite side in my upper back. I'm a mess I'm afraid....any suggestions would be helpful and I will pass them on to my Chiropractor. Thanks Dr Berg!
You described the right way and I did it today to fix my short leg. I stretched 10 times for ten seconds my longer leg. It has worked and I did this at home on my bed. I also will be trying to do it daily and see if I have other muscles which are not releasing.
Hope you find some more things that help you and heal you!
@@MartinDevelopment Many thanks for your input!
What about if you wake up from hip replacement with a longer leg?? It’s been 7 months now & it’s confirmed by 2 different ortho surgeons that post surgery I’m left with a structurally longer operative leg by about 1-1.2cm…
Thank you so much.
It helped my so much.
I tried it and I felt better the same day
Very effective and simple exercise..
Thanks for the education Dr.Berg
You're very welcome.
@@Drberg Dear Doctor is it as Simple as it Appears on this Video?my Left is probably 3 cm short than the right one and am currently having troubles while walking,i have so much pain when sitting for long,am wondering if this Exercice will definitely cure me..Thanks
@@tataneymar7741 I have same issue any improvement sir!?
Trying it costs nothing. I did it and it seems to help. Thanks doctor.
You're welcome!
I am wearing the lift in the short leg! Will investigate your solution. Thank you
Thanks for sharing this amazing techniques. Wow, how amazing! Love it!
How often can I do this and can I do it more than 10 times? I am shorter by about 2 inches because of a hip uplift I had and have tried EVERYTHING to get my leg back to normal length. I have been dealing with this for almost 2 years and go to 3 therapists a week. Thank you.
What is the result now after doing this excercise?
My pelvis is twisted. Cause extreme lower back problem and short leg.
Same here
Its affected my knee causing it to cave in.
So does this video help with this or what
same issue 😪
Hi Dr. Berg, my right leg is a little bit shorter but this is because of muscle and ligament issue. So I don't have spasm. Should I still pull the longer leg in my case and avoid doing anything for my short leg?
this is amazing!
i am from taiwan and really hope more people see this video
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Needed to share this. Other doctors did the same for other parts of the body.
How do you keep the muscel from going back into gaurded position? as this correction method done once with assistance will not hold the correction.
.
@Dr. Eric Berg. What if it is a structural difference. How do we fix it?
I have short leg but instead of muscle in back my buttock muscle is tight so what exercise should I do
it's going to get fixed that quick? My God! too good to be true. thanks a lot God bless You
This helped and I just moved as if someone was pulling my leg!
Can you do this with hip arthritis and hip replacement?
Does this require multiple treatments and it will get fixed overtime or will 1 treatment be enough?
I love you Dr Berg
Why i am late here,Thank you Dr.Berg🙏
You're very welcome!
I'm a 74 year old female and I did it....IT WORKED, Thank you, Thank you. I was skeptical, all I can
say is , don't go on to the next one ...this one absolutely nails it. AMAZING!!!!
NELLIE DUNLOP how did you manage this on your own please?
@@kerriannehancock6500 I did not do it on my own...my neighbor came over as I was reading about this procedure
and she did the pulling ( I actually did an extra 2 pulls) I got up and was completely aligned...I have been walking
my 2 daily miles since...YEA!!!
NELLIE DUNLOP that’s fantastic!! I’ve had the problem since high school & would love to try this
Wow! Thank you for sharing, Dr. 👍🏻
Omg does this hurt? I have one leg shorter slightly due to lower back osteoarthritis from birth.
You said maybe we fell on our tail bone , gosh I still remember the day. I do have along torso and short legs
Also, one side of my body is disproportionated
Same thing happened to me! I remember the day in Elementary school!
@@NWYVR sameee , still feeling pain in the lower back?
