I am suffering in agony with this sciatic pain. I don't know what to do. I am really scared. I do not want to be a cripple and cannot walk. I will try these stretches. Wish me luck guys.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Please keep me posted on your progress. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.
@@PrecisionWellbeing Thankyou so much for asking about me. I am doing much better, I have started walking a little bit now. I still have the pain in my upper leg by my buttocks and mid calves. I cannot stand too long or sit either. I went to see a chiro doc because of my doc. But he made the pain worst and he press on my back so hard near my kidneys that it is so sore. So I stop going and used ice and heat which helped a lot. So as soon as I can, I will attempt some of your stretches. I know it will be good. I also got a tens unit I would try to use it but don't know how. Thankyou so much again. Blessings🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Ps. Can you tell me where are you located?
For the past two months, I have been suffering from sciatica nerve pain. I have watched many videos and sought various treatments, including visits to the doctor, emergency room, acupuncture, cupping, massage therapy, and physiotherapy. However, none of these explained sciatica as clearly as you did. This is the best video I have ever seen! Now, I am gradually recovering from sciatica. The shooting pain in my hip and leg has subsided to just less buttock and lower back pain, which were the initial symptoms before the sciatica developed. According to my doctor, based on the X-ray results, I have a reduced disc space at L5-S1, which is pinching the nerve. The most beneficial exercises for me have been hanging from a bar and doing the cobra position. I have watched several of your videos, found them very helpful, and have subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your videos!
Omg. I cant thank you enough. I'm pretty sure now that mine is in my buttocks. Thank God. In March I moved to a place where I have plenty of sun to grow stuff, a creek to swim in, and plenty of country roads to walk with extremely low traffic like maybe none on most days. Up to walking 4 to 12 miles a day in May. Then bbn one day early August my left side at hips with terrible pain n barely could walk. The Dr. said quit walkingso much and do t for couple if weeks. It's been almost 3 wks. and only little better and that when I looked o. Utube and thus was the first on and I clicked on it. Thank God! I learned my problem was most likely in my buttocks and that it seemed to be easiest to fix. Thank You for helping g people for free. I now know because of you I can heal myself. I just quit starting to get depressed because I had been so happy in my new circumstances. I will tell others about you. Bless You!!
This was very informative and explained in detail. Thank you so so much. This had helped me with relief. The last exercise laying on my back with my knee outward brought relief. The added exercise to that putting my foot on my other leg and raising it really helps a lot. Thank you so much for this. Doctors here in the US don’t want to help cure or offer relief. Theres no money in it. Sadly greed and pills are what they do here. Again thank you!
You're most welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful and that it was able to shed some light on your pain. Stay consistent with the exercises and keep me posted on how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have DDD in L4 and L5 and I have severe lumbar pain and bilateral sciatica which usually lasts for about 8 months at a time and recurs every 2 years. The bilateral sciatica this time is causing me pain under my heels and makes my feet really painful too. I have no idea what is causing the lumbar pain and bilateral sciatica other than the ddd which was seen on MRI prior to the back pain occurring.
Hi Ashley! My pain started in my back and was getting better but I stupidly tried stretching my hamstring and I think I stretched the nerve as now the pain is also in my buttocks and left hamstring. What would you suggest?
Thank god for people like you, there is so much hocus-pocus on the Internet today. Especially on RUclips! it’s refreshing to have someone as knowledgeable as you describing things like this. I have been having a serious problem with my sciatic lately and this is helping very much. Thank you so much for this video I have subscribed and will look forward to more!
Hi Ron, You're absolutely welcome! You're so right, its getting increasingly difficult to sift out legitimate content online generally. So glad to hear the video was helpful. Do keep me updated on your progress. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
Two years and counting and I am having sciatica pain. Seen 2 spine specialists, 2 physiotherapists, 1, CMT, and 2 anesthetists. None of them was able to explain or diagnose me like this video! I am so grateful for you! Thanks load!
Hi Salem. I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with sciatica. Have you tried any of the exercises yet? Please do let me know which are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family Best wishes, Ashley.
@@PrecisionWellbeing Hi Ashley, Thanks for your comment! The best stretches are the ones where the heel of the leg with sciatica is placed on the other leg knee then pull both legs to the chest. I found this strech with its alternatives are the best. They gave me instantaneous relief. Thanks again!
Don't you wonder why they can't figure this out? I mean it's pretty clear the symptoms that we have do the doctors just want to keep you in the system and keep spinning their wheels so they can keep pulling money out of us
I've watched a lot of sciatica videos these days, this one is absolutely the most informational and detailed, covering different sciatica causes and explaining actions based on your symptoms amazingly!!
Wow!!! What a relief. I have been in pain for over 12 years. This is the first time that I understand what is happening to me. Thank you for the time and care you put into explaining it.
Mine really never goes away. With rest the pain is very little. But soon as activity is introduced pain increases. Simple standing or sitting for short time increases pain and burning down leg .
My sciatica is worse when I've been inactive for 30 minutes. Once I start moving around, I can keep going pretty much. But I'll be glad when it goes away. But very helpful video. Some of this I feel I had figured out already, some of this I didn't. Thanks!!!
Omgoodness! You are so greatly generous with the exercises knowledge and with the showing of the parts within our bodies.. Thank you!.. for being so kind and generous..
Sir you are amazing!!! I have watched other videos on this and no one ever said that you could have sciatica in the gluteal muscles. I did the exercise and found out where my pain came from. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I know how to help myself better. This was helpful, informative and brilliant!
I know you've trained and worked so hard and this is an informative video you put together, but... I'm actually crying with relief. I cannot thank you enough. I had to quit my job because I couldn't sit down for 12 hour shifts. You've given me a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you 💜
@PrecisionWellbeing 😢😢😢z Thank u brother 🙏🏼 ur a God sent I'm literally in tears 😢 I've been having sciatic nerve pain for a week now and it's miserable 😫 I now know the reason some ppl off themselves bc the pain is constant and unbearable. Thank u from the bottom of my heart ur stretches have helped bring joy 😊 back into my life. Leeroy from OREGON U.S.A 🇺🇲
Sir,you have meticulously explained the facts,but I want to know how much effective are these stretch exercises as I am doing these for last 6 months but to no avail
I particularly liked your demonstration of the path of the piriformis. Your exercises are very helpful and I was able to determine the I have pain in the buttocks and the higher area as well and why. Thank you for posting this very informative video!
Hi Eleanor. You are welcome. I am glad that you found the video helpful. I hope that the stretches help. Do let me know how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi Ashley Having sifted through so many videos trying to identify/understand the pain I have been experiencing, I am so glad I found yours. You are so clear and precise with your explanation about the different causes of sciatica I actually understand it now!I am going to follow your advice and do these particular exercises to relieve my sciatica which starts from my buttocks down to my leg. Thank you so much.
Hi Mal Samra, You're absolutely welcome! I'm so glad to hear you found the video informative. Have you seen a doctor about your Sciatica yet? Would definitely help to ascertain the diagnosis is correct. Please do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
This is one of the most accurate and detailed video about the sciatica pain I've ever come across, the explanation is understandable to no scientific person without any hassle and thank you so much for helping us out with what can be done in a minimal yet effective way to come out of the pain.
Not me watching this in agony trying to figure out whether it is from my lower back or my bottox, while it is so inflamed that my mere existence causes pain, not to mention any kind of movement.
Thank you for explaining my buttocks pain thoroughly. I started doing your exercises this minute. I found it also an excellent advice to just do three exercises that work and stick with it.
Thank you so much for your generosity. I know most of the exercises (some we do at the gym) but was afraid to move even a iota of my muscles, so afraid I would compound the situation. I have been living, sitting, sleeping, driving, climbing stairs up and down with acute pain for about a year. I just walk or run a tiny bit, and use cold/hot showers/packs when the pain is atrociously extreme. I have deserted the gym and just hitting the pool this winter was too cold I thought to my taste, even when the water was warm! I have become grumpy and impatient because of the pain. And sedentary! And as you said, the more pain, the less exercise, and the less exercise, the more pain. Doctors I have gone to tend to give medication but are not interested in showing you how you can get rid of pain with simple exercises and without much medication. Actually they are not entirely sure about physical therapy and have asked me to wait ???? I cannot take NSAIDS anyway, even occasionally, because of medical reasons, and Paracetamol cannot relieve the pain/over a substantial period of time. I understand what you said about tolerating some pain as inflammation is part of the healing process. I have started the exercises and they are great for me. I hope my situation will improve and that I won't need surgery. Your videos are very inspirational and the explanations great. I was really lost. God bless you.
Great video, thanks! Any ideas on muscle-related hip pain/tightness/sciatica that is actually aggravated by hanging? I've been dealing with a nagging left hip issue since June that seems to have coincided with kettlebell workouts, and I've seen numerous professionals with only moderate results so far. Stretching and massage with a softball help the most, but the pain and tightness are particularly bad in the morning.
I love how you can explain anatomy so clearly to people like me. And thank you for the hip exercises 😉. I'm a new subscriber because I know I'll learn more things from you. Keep up the good work. Btw, please let me know the make of the trainers you're wearing, if you don't mind. I'd like to get them for my son.
Hi Elize thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. If there's anything else you would like to know about please let me know. The trainers are from FitFlop. They are OK but probably not worth the price. Best wishes, Ashley
Have been paying a physio therapist for several months to assist with minimizing or elimination of pain due to sciatica. At no time has he ever explained the different causes of the pain and which is the reason for my issues. This video shows a number of causes, simple ways to test what is causing the pain, then ways to alleviate the pain. Thank you so much for this. I highly recommend this video!!
I have sciatica and went through Lyrica and opiate withdrawal last weekend as I ran out of methadone. The agony made the sciatica feel like a tickle in comparison to the full body mind pain of withdrawal. I'm looking for sympathy lol. No just a warning to anyone taking Lyrica and opiates. As Joe Biden said......... DON'T. Mine hurts the most if I do a " donkey kick" . Lifting my knee to my chest relieves it 🤷🏻
Thank you so much for this informative video, it’s a big help to find out where and what is my pain. And all the recovery stretches too. Hope to see more of your video. . Greeting from Singapore 👍
Hi @Joyce Chew LC, You're absolutely welcome! I'm so glad the video was informative. Please let me know how it goes with the stretches. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes from London, Ashley.
Amazing! I just tried the 'chair' stretch for about 15 seconds, the agony in my left leg has gone instantly, it's been bothering me for months. Thank you so much! You explanation is very clear. I'll keep doing the exercises you suggested.
Hi @T Hsiao, You're most welcome! I'm so glad to hear the video proved informative and that the stretches are helping. Please do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
My lower back only hurts while standing on my feet I had a sudden bowel change movement but I can’t take a shower take a short walk cook anything. Standing on my feet is unbearable
I have gone through a good number of Sciatica videos, this one is the best .... so far. Very informative explaining. Showing the methods to identify the causes and how to the illuminate them. I am now following your suggestions and hope that I will overcome the pain soon.
This is the best sciatic pain video. You explained the sciatic nerve anatomy so clearly, I not only confirm my diagnosis, also known what’s the reason that causes my sciatic pain. I did you suggested stretch for two days, the pain is gone. Thank you!
Wonderful!! I've been having these extreme pains in my lower back, through my butts to my legs. I watched your video just yesterday when i thought i was going to die from these pains, tried the exercises for a couple of times and.....it was like you've been the cause of my pains. I'm much much better now, and hope to religiously continue. Thanks a million
I found this video today and yes it was amazing. It''s certainly not nice to cause pain to other but the bottom line is it's great to be a pain reliever.
Hi Ashley. I've been suffering for a few weeks now, watched a fair few videos and been stretching and have seen slow progression. However, I didn't know until watching your video and doing the tests, that the cause of my sciatica is stemming from the piriformis muscle. The way you explain everything and the detail you provide is amazing! Can't thank you enough. I've now got a targeted list of exercises to work with as well. I'm off to go hang from a pull-up bar in my local park! Thanks again buddy. Sending you love and good wishes. Mo
Hi @evodbr, You're most welcome! Glad to hear the video was helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
This is very comprehensive explanation of the sciatica symptoms I have had for three into four years now. I have seen a full spectrum of different therapists and still not able to find a solution to be completely pain free. I think it is because I have not find the root cause of why my right side glute will not shut down to trigger everything you described in this video. I can sense compensatory patterns in my body, making me believe it is beyond just the musculoskeletal level. Some nights I have very irritated nerve reaction in my right leg that feel like restless leg syndrome, but I am pretty sure it is related to sciatica. Maybe one day I will be able to find the last puzzle piece.
Idk if it’s sciatica but I have nerve sensitivity in my upper butt/lower back but just listening to my body it feels like that area just needs to be popped. Is that normal?
This is the best explanation of sciatica. I have had the problem for 15 years and watched endless videos and gone to dozens of doctors and physical therapies, even had my injections. Well versed, well informed. You have a thorough understanding of sciatica. please accept my little donation as a way of gratitude and encouragement. You make my life less stressful. Hope yours is a wonderful one. Blessings.
Slump test failed. Had siatica in the past. Put yourself in a mental body cast to do your best not to aggravate it. It’ll heal if it’s just a bulge but it can take a while. Here we go again.
I have watched quite some videos on the subject and you have explained in yours with such care and clarity. This is so good and really helpful. I feel safe to show this to my aging parents. Thank you.
Hey Roy, Thanks for your comment. Please check out my video ruclips.net/video/yNbgbbqpgyI/видео.html for more on the importance of working out especially with a qualified personal trainer. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you so much, I've been looking for these answers every where, I even went to chiropractor and Dr's. Again thank you so much for explaining this 🙏🙏

Thank you so much for the information. I have been in pain for almost 2 months and no one told me to find out from where it is originating. I have been doing targeted exercises for the past 24 hours and am feeling an improvement. I was able to even walk after so long. 💜
I misused (misdiagnosed) a tens in the wrong spot for a loooooong time. Soon as we moved it around to the mid-outer butt it REALLY helped! It was on the edge of the spine above the crack area
You're most welcome Cynthia! So glad to hear the stretches are helpful! I hope you continue to make good progress. Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
Great info and video! Again, I thank you for this detailed explanation of the sciatica nerve. I am a 72 year old triathlete who had to stop training for a year because of the coronavirus. Needless to say, my sciatica flared up from inactivity. Your video helped me get back on track. Again, thank you!🚴♂️🏊♂️🏋️♀️👍
You're most welcome, Arturo! I'm so sorry to hear that. Please keep me posted on your progress. I hope you continue to make improvements. Best wishes, Ashley
Hi Sr. I have a prob. with my spine it is not straight it's is S is my spine what kind of excercise do I pls. Help me I'm 63 yrs old thank you and GODBLESS
Major issues Issues after auto accident. To much damage to spine, hips pelvis area. Shattered knees ankle plus spinal injury. It’s a real bitch I go through each day.
Thanks for this video. Has helped me a lot. I’m 57 years old, diabetic and have a little of arthritis. Also, my health insurance doesn’t cover physical therapy. Lately I have been feeling pain in my butt spreading to my legs. Knowledge and exercises are helping me a lot.
You're absolutely welcome Nidia! I'm so glad to hear the video has proved helpful. Please do keep me posted on your progress. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you for this of course and well done too. I am currently in pain alas which is like a burning from the back down the legs as well. Nice it is not of course alas! As I have Diabetes I guess it could be neuropathy alas but I am waiting to see my Doctor anyway so too. Best wishes so too.
I can’t thank you enough for this video, I’ve had two sleepless nights and have been hobbling around in so much pain over the past two days but I watched this video which explained what’s going on so we’ll that I pushed through and tried your exercises and have been getting up regularly to hobble around and this evening after my 4th set of stretches (every hour) I was amazed to be pain free!!! What an amazing feeling, I could cry. Thank you so much ☺️
@@PrecisionWellbeing thank you. Planning on some big life changes now as I’ve been at a desk 10 hrs a day and am over weight. I’m going to keep doing these simple stretches then build up from here. Small steps like you suggest in another video 😉
That's great to hear!! Small changes consistently will give you some great results! I'd love it if you could message me back in the future to let me know how you're getting on. Best wishes, Ashley
Thank you Ashley for this video, it really helped me a lot and found out the pain is in the buttock (and yes admitting that I should work more on my core!!😅). Thank you again for your advices, Sir! 🙂
Thank you for such a thorough explanation of what sciatica is, how to pinpoint exactly where the pain is coming from, and which ROM PT exercises/stretches that can be done to hopefully relieve sciatic nerve pain. Thank you.
Excellent presentation - so very well explained. I now think that my sciatica is being caused by the Piriformis muscle. I am 77 and first had the problem after ballroom dancing when I had been twisting my foot outwards due to a new step I was learning. This all makes sense now and without your help I would not have known. I am 99% sure that I don't have back problems thanks to you. I can now focus on the right exercises for my particular problem. Thanks once again.
Thanks for sharing this posting, thanks for information about the different ways for the healing, your explanation is very helpful. You are a great person. 👍🙏🏼100%
A very useful video. I couldn't work out where my pain was coming from but now I'm much clearer. I've been doing yoga which helps but your exercises are very specific. Movement is the best thing for me as I have most pain at night& when I get up. So I have to do exercises straight away. I'm 83 so I'd like to say that there's a lot of hope for the elderly if we're careful & don't overdo it. Thank you!!
Sir, I believe you are a life saver! My pain was unbearable until I did the chair exercises and hanging from the door frame! I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow, which i will still go...but i can explain to him what happened.
You are most welcome. I am happy to hear that the video has been encouraging and I am looking forward to hearing some positive feedback on how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi Ashley….24 hours into doing your stretches and I slept for a whole night painfree 👍🏻All my Thanks to you for your videos. Greetings from a Norwegian on holiday In Greece. Maybe I will be able to travel back home soon. (Again, so thankfull for your videos). 🌺
Hi Isabell. I am so happy to hear that you are already noticing some improvements. Please continue to keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have numbness for 2 weeks now. When I walk my dog going back home the numbness starts from the knee down and sometimes it takes my right leg completely. I do the chair stretch and the pull up. The do help but the pain comes back 2 hours later. I can sit too long nor stand to long. The burning is the worst. I thank you for the explanation on sciatica.
I tried the backward bend while sitting down & it caused quite a bit of pain in my lower back, buttock & hip joint only on my rightside. As i watched more of your video here, i've learned some stretches that i feel may be quite helpful, so i will try them, thank you very much & in awhile after doing these stretches, i will write a note here to let you know what helped, maybe it will in turn others in pain, i surely hope so, thanks.
That's great to hear Melody! You're absolutely welcome! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Looking forward to hearing all about how it goes with the exercises. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
That was a very clear description and I will start as of tomorrow, as I have been lying down from sciatica for 2 months now, and 2 infiltrations done, but the pain is still there, thank you very much for this great video!!
great clear explanations and the "spine model" helps visualize what is going on. So much more clear than other RUclips videos on the subject. As an engineer type person this was very helpful to visualize and be able to explain to my GF who is having a very painful episode of sciatica this morning!... from your description it seems to be a lower back issue rather than a buttocks one... I forwarded the video to her, hopefully doing these exercises this will help her recovery. Thanks!!
You're absolutely welcome Max! Glad to hear the video has been helpful. Please d let me know how your GF progresses. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you for your very informative presentation on sciatic pain and its potential root causes. I will now start employing the exrcises for piriformis muscle stretching and contracting. I have lost 7 kg recently and now walking every day 2 to 3 kms so am hoping for pain relief. I still wake up with pain in my hip and legs and difficulty walking..
Best explanation l’ve really gotten!! The visuals help so much!! Why don’t osteopathic professionals take a lesson in how to explain injuries to patients , and what physical therapy and yoga can do to help, from your channel?!?!
Thank you so much @Lore Bazemore ! I'm so humbled. So glad you found the video insightful. I hope the exercises are helpful. Do let me know if you try them. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thankyou so much sir, i hope you and family always healty, Amen.. Sir, can i get your Instagram account please? I hope i can send your a picture of my MRI result and ask your recommendation what exercise suitable with my MRI result 😊
Hi @Istidiah Pradita, You're most welcome. You can book a virtual appointment with me on www.precisionwellbeing.co.uk/work-with-ashley. Best wishes, Ashley.
I will start to study osteopathy this fall and this channel is so informative and helpful to get me started already now. Thank you so much for all this content!
Hi! Very well explained I've learn lot thank you so much....can i request for that sciatica associated with under heel bone pain associated with slightly hot flash feeling withiin.
Thank you so much! I'm glad the video was able to shed light on your sciatica pain. I will definitely consider that topic for future videos. Best wishes, Ashley.
I learned more from you in this video. I under stand my hip pain and my sciatica. Physical therapy is making it worse. Traction and tens treatment feel the best.
Thank you so much for this video. The sciatic pain I’ve been experiencing was down my left leg, but has moved to my right leg. I had xrays taken yesterday to get to the bottom of it. The exercises you show are so helpful. When I get into bed, it’s extremely difficult to get comfortable, but I had been bending my spine back and forth, like a lying down cat and cow, to get a little relief. What’s odd though is I can hear and feel a click or crunch in my lower spine, on the outer side. Is crunching or clicking normal?
Middle splits practice caused me some sort of stiffness in my left butt, ur video helped me to figure out correctly n workouts u told, I was already doing, n yess movement is reducing the pain, I will try hot compress also
Been dealing with this for 3 months now. Been taking NSAIDs so I can get thru work. What I cant figure out is that I cant ride. The widening of pelvis just kills me all the way down the leg
I have left sided sciatic nerve problems, comes from degenerative disc disease in my lower back, when it gets really bad, I have to get a medrol and toradol shot, those last about 6 months. I refuse to quit living because I have this. I exercise daily, but don't over do, but when I do I rest with heating pads, or have to get these shots. Everyone is different follow your docs instructions or pain specialist instructions.
I am suffering in agony with this sciatic pain. I don't know what to do. I am really scared. I do not want to be a cripple and cannot walk. I will try these stretches. Wish me luck guys.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Please keep me posted on your progress. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.
Me to
@@PrecisionWellbeing Thankyou so much for asking about me. I am doing much better, I have started walking a little bit now. I still have the pain in my upper leg by my buttocks and mid calves. I cannot stand too long or sit either. I went to see a chiro doc because of my doc. But he made the pain worst and he press on my back so hard near my kidneys that it is so sore. So I stop going and used ice and heat which helped a lot. So as soon as I can, I will attempt some of your stretches. I know it will be good. I also got a tens unit I would try to use it but don't know how.
Thankyou so much again. Blessings🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ps. Can you tell me where are you located?
I'm interested as well how you get on with the stretches. I have a lot of back problems myself
Good luck man
For the past two months, I have been suffering from sciatica nerve pain. I have watched many videos and sought various treatments, including visits to the doctor, emergency room, acupuncture, cupping, massage therapy, and physiotherapy. However, none of these explained sciatica as clearly as you did. This is the best video I have ever seen! Now, I am gradually recovering from sciatica. The shooting pain in my hip and leg has subsided to just less buttock and lower back pain, which were the initial symptoms before the sciatica developed. According to my doctor, based on the X-ray results, I have a reduced disc space at L5-S1, which is pinching the nerve. The most beneficial exercises for me have been hanging from a bar and doing the cobra position. I have watched several of your videos, found them very helpful, and have subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your videos!
Omg. I cant thank you enough. I'm pretty sure now that mine is in my buttocks. Thank God. In March I moved to a place where I have plenty of sun to grow stuff, a creek to swim in, and plenty of country roads to walk with extremely low traffic like maybe none on most days. Up to walking 4 to 12 miles a day in May. Then bbn one day early August my left side at hips with terrible pain n barely could walk. The Dr. said quit walkingso much and do t for couple if weeks. It's been almost 3 wks. and only little better and that when I looked o. Utube and thus was the first on and I clicked on it. Thank God! I learned my problem was most likely in my buttocks and that it seemed to be easiest to fix. Thank You for helping g people for free. I now know because of you I can heal myself. I just quit starting to get depressed because I had been so happy in my new circumstances. I will tell others about you. Bless You!!
Thank you very much! In just 20 min I could exactly determine that my issue is in the pyriformis muscle. I will try the exercises later today👍💪
You're most welcome! I'm so happy the video was helpful. Please do let me know how t goes with the stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you very much for this informative video, It helped me and answered my questions.
You are most welcome. Really glad to hear that the video has been helpful to you. Please do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
This was very informative and explained in detail. Thank you so so much. This had helped me with relief. The last exercise laying on my back with my knee outward brought relief. The added exercise to that putting my foot on my other leg and raising it really helps a lot. Thank you so much for this. Doctors here in the US don’t want to help cure or offer relief. Theres no money in it. Sadly greed and pills are what they do here. Again thank you!
You're most welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful and that it was able to shed some light on your pain. Stay consistent with the exercises and keep me posted on how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.
Many options, really well explained, thank you
Hi George,
You're absolutely welcome! I'm glad to hear the video was informative. I hope it helps! Best wishes, Ashley.
could not write any other comments but THANK YOU.
You're absolutely welcome! I hope the video helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
Great very informative video!!
Thank you! Glad to hear the video was informative. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have DDD in L4 and L5 and I have severe lumbar pain and bilateral sciatica which usually lasts for about 8 months at a time and recurs every 2 years. The bilateral sciatica this time is causing me pain under my heels and makes my feet really painful too. I have no idea what is causing the lumbar pain and bilateral sciatica other than the ddd which was seen on MRI prior to the back pain occurring.
Nice! Thanks.
You're most welcome @Ruans Jutz! I hope the exercises helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thanks 👍
You're welcome David! I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi Ashley! My pain started in my back and was getting better but I stupidly tried stretching my hamstring and I think I stretched the nerve as now the pain is also in my buttocks and left hamstring.
What would you suggest?
I can feel any thing on my leg down
Thank god for people like you, there is so much hocus-pocus on the Internet today. Especially on RUclips! it’s refreshing to have someone as knowledgeable as you describing things like this. I have been having a serious problem with my sciatic lately and this is helping very much. Thank you so much for this video I have subscribed and will look forward to more!
Hi Ron,
You're absolutely welcome! You're so right, its getting increasingly difficult to sift out legitimate content online generally. So glad to hear the video was helpful. Do keep me updated on your progress. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
Two years and counting and I am having sciatica pain. Seen 2 spine specialists, 2 physiotherapists, 1, CMT, and 2 anesthetists. None of them was able to explain or diagnose me like this video! I am so grateful for you! Thanks load!
Hi Salem. I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with sciatica. Have you tried any of the exercises yet? Please do let me know which are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family Best wishes, Ashley.

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your comment!
The best stretches are the ones where the heel of the leg with sciatica is placed on the other leg knee then pull both legs to the chest.
I found this strech with its alternatives are the best. They gave me instantaneous relief.
Thanks again!
Back pain is really the worst, I hope you get better with time.
I am from Jamaica I am feeling the same pain I could not walk when an do a x ray an they say is arthritis
Don't you wonder why they can't figure this out? I mean it's pretty clear the symptoms that we have do the doctors just want to keep you in the system and keep spinning their wheels so they can keep pulling money out of us
I've watched a lot of sciatica videos these days, this one is absolutely the most informational and detailed, covering different sciatica causes and explaining actions based on your symptoms amazingly!!
Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear the video was insightful. I hope it helped! Best wishes, Ashley.
I agree this is the absolute best informative video I have seen. ❤️🙏🇨🇦👍
Agree didn't have to watch several videos looking for things that I saw last time I had some pain and even more in this one that is very helpful
Would a snapped to one side tail bone cause sciatica?
Agreed!!!
Would love to see exercises done by someone who is currently experiencing sciatica so we can see how it will really look like
I followed along, my pain has been unbearable sciatica since yesterday. The exercises were unbelievably helpful, my pain has gone from a 9 to a 2.
Probably one of the best explanations on RUclips, Ashley your a real expert.
Thank you so much. I am glad you found the video insightful. Best wishes, Ashley.
Wow!!! What a relief. I have been in pain for over 12 years. This is the first time that I understand what is happening to me. Thank you for the time and care you put into explaining it.
Try swimming..cured me
😊
I guess I’m not as bad it only took me 3 years to figure out my problem is sciatica.
Mine goes away after time of inactivity, but as soon as i go for a walk or exersise the pain returns the next day.
à
Mine really never goes away. With rest the pain is very little. But soon as activity is introduced pain increases. Simple standing or sitting for short time increases pain and burning down leg .
@@Roadking556 same.
My sciatica is worse when I've been inactive for 30 minutes. Once I start moving around, I can keep going pretty much. But I'll be glad when it goes away. But very helpful video. Some of this I feel I had figured out already, some of this I didn't. Thanks!!!
What's your age and how you exersise?
Omgoodness! You are so greatly generous with the exercises knowledge and with the showing of the parts within our bodies.. Thank you!.. for being so kind and generous..
Hi Angel,
You're most welcome! I'm so glad you found the video insightful. Best wishes, Ashley.
Sir you are amazing!!! I have watched other videos on this and no one ever said that you could have sciatica in the gluteal muscles. I did the exercise and found out where my pain came from. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I know how to help myself better. This was helpful, informative and brilliant!
I know you've trained and worked so hard and this is an informative video you put together, but... I'm actually crying with relief. I cannot thank you enough. I had to quit my job because I couldn't sit down for 12 hour shifts. You've given me a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you 💜
You're most welcome! I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful! Please do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
@PrecisionWellbeing 😢😢😢z Thank u brother 🙏🏼 ur a God sent I'm literally in tears 😢 I've been having sciatic nerve pain for a week now and it's miserable 😫 I now know the reason some ppl off themselves bc the pain is constant and unbearable. Thank u from the bottom of my heart ur stretches have helped bring joy 😊 back into my life. Leeroy from OREGON U.S.A 🇺🇲
I will try the excercises that I watch from your you tube channel because I'm suffer pain from my buttocks thank you
Sir,you have meticulously explained the facts,but I want to know how much effective are these stretch exercises as I am doing these for last 6 months but to no avail
I particularly liked your demonstration of the path of the piriformis. Your exercises are very helpful and I was able to determine the I have pain in the buttocks and the higher area as well and why. Thank you for posting this very informative video!
Hi Eleanor. You are welcome. I am glad that you found the video helpful. I hope that the stretches help. Do let me know how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi Ashley
Having sifted through so many videos trying to identify/understand the pain I have been experiencing, I am so glad I found yours. You are so clear and precise with your explanation about the different causes of sciatica I actually understand it now!I am going to follow your advice and do these particular exercises to relieve my sciatica which starts from my buttocks down to my leg. Thank you so much.
Hi Mal Samra,
You're absolutely welcome! I'm so glad to hear you found the video informative. Have you seen a doctor about your Sciatica yet? Would definitely help to ascertain the diagnosis is correct. Please do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Whay is the cure of this unexplained illnesses?
This is one of the most accurate and detailed video about the sciatica pain I've ever come across, the explanation is understandable to no scientific person without any hassle and thank you so much for helping us out with what can be done in a minimal yet effective way to come out of the pain.
Not me watching this in agony trying to figure out whether it is from my lower back or my bottox, while it is so inflamed that my mere existence causes pain, not to mention any kind of movement.
Thank you for explaining my buttocks pain thoroughly. I started doing your exercises this minute. I found it also an excellent advice to just do three exercises that work and stick with it.
You are most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. Do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you so much for your generosity. I know most of the exercises (some we do at the gym) but was afraid to move even a iota of my muscles, so afraid I would compound the situation. I have been living, sitting, sleeping, driving, climbing stairs up and down with acute pain for about a year. I just walk or run a tiny bit, and use cold/hot showers/packs when the pain is atrociously extreme. I have deserted the gym and just hitting the pool this winter was too cold I thought to my taste, even when the water was warm! I have become grumpy and impatient because of the pain. And sedentary! And as you said, the more pain, the less exercise, and the less exercise, the more pain. Doctors I have gone to tend to give medication but are not interested in showing you how you can get rid of pain with simple exercises and without much medication. Actually they are not entirely sure about physical therapy and have asked me to wait ???? I cannot take NSAIDS anyway, even occasionally, because of medical reasons, and Paracetamol cannot relieve the pain/over a substantial period of time. I understand what you said about tolerating some pain as inflammation is part of the healing process. I have started the exercises and they are great for me. I hope my situation will improve and that I won't need surgery. Your videos are very inspirational and the explanations great. I was really lost. God bless you.
Great video, thanks! Any ideas on muscle-related hip pain/tightness/sciatica that is actually aggravated by hanging? I've been dealing with a nagging left hip issue since June that seems to have coincided with kettlebell workouts, and I've seen numerous professionals with only moderate results so far. Stretching and massage with a softball help the most, but the pain and tightness are particularly bad in the morning.
I love how you can explain anatomy so clearly to people like me. And thank you for the hip exercises 😉. I'm a new subscriber because I know I'll learn more things from you. Keep up the good work. Btw, please let me know the make of the trainers you're wearing, if you don't mind. I'd like to get them for my son.
Hi Elize thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. If there's anything else you would like to know about please let me know.
The trainers are from FitFlop. They are OK but probably not worth the price. Best wishes, Ashley
Have been paying a physio therapist for several months to assist with minimizing or elimination of pain due to sciatica. At no time has he ever explained the different causes of the pain and which is the reason for my issues. This video shows a number of causes, simple ways to test what is causing the pain, then ways to alleviate the pain. Thank you so much for this. I highly recommend this video!!
Hi Michelle,
You're most welcome! And thank you for the endorsement; much appreciated! Best wishes, Ashley.
Can you wear a Predator mask while you are holding that spine....? I actually understood your lecture... well done mate!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear the video was informative. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have sciatica and went through Lyrica and opiate withdrawal last weekend as I ran out of methadone. The agony made the sciatica feel like a tickle in comparison to the full body mind pain of withdrawal. I'm looking for sympathy lol. No just a warning to anyone taking Lyrica and opiates. As Joe Biden said......... DON'T.
Mine hurts the most if I do a " donkey kick" . Lifting my knee to my chest relieves it 🤷🏻
Thank you so much for this informative video, it’s a big help to find out where and what is my pain. And all the recovery stretches too. Hope to see more of your video. . Greeting from Singapore 👍
Hi @Joyce Chew LC,
You're absolutely welcome! I'm so glad the video was informative. Please let me know how it goes with the stretches. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes from London, Ashley.
Amazing! I just tried the 'chair' stretch for about 15 seconds, the agony in my left leg has gone instantly, it's been bothering me for months. Thank you so much! You explanation is very clear. I'll keep doing the exercises you suggested.
Hi @T Hsiao,
You're most welcome! I'm so glad to hear the video proved informative and that the stretches are helping. Please do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I’m suffering it’s painful 😖
I need help please it’s painful
My lower back only hurts while standing on my feet I had a sudden bowel change movement but I can’t take a shower take a short walk cook anything. Standing on my feet is unbearable
By God ,,, he is amazing .!!!!❤❤
I have gone through a good number of Sciatica videos, this one is the best .... so far. Very informative explaining. Showing the methods to identify the causes and how to the illuminate them. I am now following your suggestions and hope that I will overcome the pain soon.
As always beautifully explained. Thank you 😊 💓
You're welcome! I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
This is the best sciatic pain video. You explained the sciatic nerve anatomy so clearly, I not only confirm my diagnosis, also known what’s the reason that causes my sciatic pain. I did you suggested stretch for two days, the pain is gone. Thank you!
Hi Jenny,
You're absolutely welcome! Glad to hear the video was helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
Wonderful!! I've been having these extreme pains in my lower back, through my butts to my legs. I watched your video just yesterday when i thought i was going to die from these pains, tried the exercises for a couple of times and.....it was like you've been the cause of my pains. I'm much much better now, and hope to religiously continue. Thanks a million
I found this video today and yes it was amazing. It''s certainly not nice to cause pain to other but the bottom line is it's great to be a pain reliever.
HE'S CERTAINLY NOT THE CAUSE OF YOUR PAIN.🙄🙄🙄😅
Hi Ashley. I've been suffering for a few weeks now, watched a fair few videos and been stretching and have seen slow progression. However, I didn't know until watching your video and doing the tests, that the cause of my sciatica is stemming from the piriformis muscle. The way you explain everything and the detail you provide is amazing! Can't thank you enough. I've now got a targeted list of exercises to work with as well. I'm off to go hang from a pull-up bar in my local park!
Thanks again buddy. Sending you love and good wishes.

I have a same problem please can you tell me how much time it take to finish please tell me and what about these days conditions
@@ShaizyBwp can't say how long it takes to be relieved of the pain. Every situation is different. Just do the exercises every day!
one of the best videos about Sciatica. Thank you!
You're most welcome Hugo! I hope it helped. Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
Very interesting !
This is very comprehensive explanation of the sciatica symptoms I have had for three into four years now. I have seen a full spectrum of different therapists and still not able to find a solution to be completely pain free. I think it is because I have not find the root cause of why my right side glute will not shut down to trigger everything you described in this video. I can sense compensatory patterns in my body, making me believe it is beyond just the musculoskeletal level. Some nights I have very irritated nerve reaction in my right leg that feel like restless leg syndrome, but I am pretty sure it is related to sciatica. Maybe one day I will be able to find the last puzzle piece.
Idk if it’s sciatica but I have nerve sensitivity in my upper butt/lower back but just listening to my body it feels like that area just needs to be popped. Is that normal?
This is the best explanation of sciatica. I have had the problem for 15 years and watched endless videos and gone to dozens of doctors and physical therapies, even had my injections. Well versed, well informed. You have a thorough understanding of sciatica. please accept my little donation as a way of gratitude and encouragement. You make my life less stressful. Hope yours is a wonderful one. Blessings.
Thanks for your help z. GOD bless!
Slump test failed. Had siatica in the past. Put yourself in a mental body cast to do your best not to aggravate it. It’ll heal if it’s just a bulge but it can take a while. Here we go again.
I have watched quite some videos on the subject and you have explained in yours with such care and clarity. This is so good and really helpful. I feel safe to show this to my aging parents. Thank you.
That's great to hear! You're absolutely welcome! Please let me know how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.

… tens unit also helps with the nerve pain.
I tried a unit for 6 months. With NO resulting pain lost. Also did so for C-spine issues. Also no help
I misused (misdiagnosed) a tens in the wrong spot for a loooooong time. Soon as we moved it around to the mid-outer butt it REALLY helped! It was on the edge of the spine above the crack area
@@oldshawbones … I believe it’s different for each person.
TENS yesss it helps!!
Ive been using tens for months and it doesn’t help me
Does anyone else experience pain only when they laying down?
I found your explanation so clear. I find the chair lift very helpful. I also do the other stretches. Thank you very much 😊

Thank you for this of course and well done too. I am currently in pain alas which is like a burning from the back down the legs as well. Nice it is not of course alas! As I have Diabetes I guess it could be neuropathy alas but I am waiting to see my Doctor anyway so too. Best wishes so too.
Just go swimming it will fix u . Forget the gym
are you for real ? can you develop more ?
I can’t thank you enough for this video, I’ve had two sleepless nights and have been hobbling around in so much pain over the past two days but I watched this video which explained what’s going on so we’ll that I pushed through and tried your exercises and have been getting up regularly to hobble around and this evening after my 4th set of stretches (every hour) I was amazed to be pain free!!!
What an amazing feeling, I could cry. Thank you so much ☺️
Hi Adrian that's so good to hear! I'm glad you are feeling much better and I hope it stays that way! Best wishes, Ashley

Thank you Ashley for this video, it really helped me a lot and found out the pain is in the buttock (and yes admitting that I should work more on my core!!😅). Thank you again for your advices, Sir! 🙂
Thank you for such a thorough explanation of what sciatica is, how to pinpoint exactly where the pain is coming from, and which ROM PT exercises/stretches that can be done to hopefully relieve sciatic nerve pain. Thank you.
Excellent presentation - so very well explained. I now think that my sciatica is being caused by the Piriformis muscle. I am 77 and first had the problem after ballroom dancing when I had been twisting my foot outwards due to a new step I was learning. This all makes sense now and without your help I would not have known. I am 99% sure that I don't have back problems thanks to you. I can now focus on the right exercises for my particular problem. Thanks once again.
Thanks for sharing this posting, thanks for information about the different ways for the healing, your explanation is very helpful. You are a great person. 👍🙏🏼100%
You're most welcome Stella! Happy to hear the video was helpful. Have you already tried any of the stretches? Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you for some really clear information.
You're welcome! Best wishes, Ashley.
Can do a video on hip osteoarthritis please
A very useful video. I couldn't work out where my pain was coming from but now I'm much clearer. I've been doing yoga which helps but your exercises are very specific. Movement is the best thing for me as I have most pain at night& when I get up. So I have to do exercises straight away. I'm 83 so I'd like to say that there's a lot of hope for the elderly if we're careful & don't overdo it. Thank you!!
A very useful tips on sciatica. Please how can be reaching on alternative channels either email or telegram?
Sir, I believe you are a life saver! My pain was unbearable until I did the chair exercises and hanging from the door frame! I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow, which i will still go...but i can explain to him what happened.
Thank you, Thank you, thank you. I’ve been In pain now for two weeks now and this is the first video that gives me hope. Again thank you.
You are most welcome. I am happy to hear that the video has been encouraging and I am looking forward to hearing some positive feedback on how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi Ashley….24 hours into doing your stretches and I slept for a whole night painfree 👍🏻All my Thanks to you for your videos. Greetings from a Norwegian on holiday In Greece. Maybe I will be able to travel back home soon. (Again, so thankfull for your videos). 🌺
Hi Isabell. I am so happy to hear that you are already noticing some improvements. Please continue to keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have numbness for 2 weeks now. When I walk my dog going back home the numbness starts from the knee down and sometimes it takes my right leg completely. I do the chair stretch and the pull up. The do help but the pain comes back 2 hours later. I can sit too long nor stand to long. The burning is the worst. I thank you for the explanation on sciatica.
I tried the backward bend while sitting down & it caused quite a bit of pain in my lower back, buttock & hip joint only on my rightside. As i watched more of your video here, i've learned some stretches that i feel may be quite helpful, so i will try them, thank you very much & in awhile after doing these stretches, i will write a note here to let you know what helped, maybe it will in turn others in pain, i surely hope so, thanks.
That's great to hear Melody! You're absolutely welcome! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Looking forward to hearing all about how it goes with the exercises. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
God has answered my prayers. I have been suffering from this sciatica for now 2 weeks, but Jehovah has seen me through
Hi Sharon, I am really happy to hear that you are doing better. Best wishes, Ashley.
That was a very clear description and I will start as of tomorrow, as I have been lying down from sciatica for 2 months now, and 2 infiltrations done, but the pain is still there, thank you very much for this great video!!
You're most welcome! I'm so sorry to hear that. Let me know how you get on. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.
Yes very explainable video well done. ...
I think lying down all day can make it worse. Movement helped me.
Your new subscriber Thank you so much Your video is very helpful. 😊👍
great clear explanations and the "spine model" helps visualize what is going on. So much more clear than other RUclips videos on the subject. As an engineer type person this was very helpful to visualize and be able to explain to my GF who is having a very painful episode of sciatica this morning!... from your description it seems to be a lower back issue rather than a buttocks one... I forwarded the video to her, hopefully doing these exercises this will help her recovery. Thanks!!
You're absolutely welcome Max! Glad to hear the video has been helpful. Please d let me know how your GF progresses. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you for your very informative presentation on sciatic pain and its potential root causes. I will now start employing the exrcises for piriformis muscle stretching and contracting. I have lost 7 kg recently and now walking every day 2 to 3 kms so am hoping for pain relief. I still wake up with pain in my hip and legs and difficulty walking..
I'm glad the video was informative. I hope you are doing better now, please let me know. Best Wishes, Ashley
Best explanation l’ve really gotten!! The visuals help so much!! Why don’t osteopathic professionals take a lesson in how to explain injuries to patients , and what physical therapy and yoga can do to help, from your channel?!?!
Thank you so much @Lore Bazemore ! I'm so humbled. So glad you found the video insightful. I hope the exercises are helpful. Do let me know if you try them. Best wishes, Ashley.
Very informative and clearly explained thanks 👍👍👍
You are most welcome. Glad it was helpful! Best wishes, Ashley.

Hi! Very well explained I've learn lot thank you so much....can i request for that sciatica associated with under heel bone pain associated with slightly hot flash feeling withiin.
Thank you so much! I'm glad the video was able to shed light on your sciatica pain. I will definitely consider that topic for future videos. Best wishes, Ashley.
I learned more from you in this video. I under stand my hip pain and my sciatica. Physical therapy is making it worse. Traction and tens treatment feel the best.
Thank you so much for this video. The sciatic pain I’ve been experiencing was down my left leg, but has moved to my right leg. I had xrays taken yesterday to get to the bottom of it. The exercises you show are so helpful. When I get into bed, it’s extremely difficult to get comfortable, but I had been bending my spine back and forth, like a lying down cat and cow, to get a little relief. What’s odd though is I can hear and feel a click or crunch in my lower spine, on the outer side. Is crunching or clicking normal?
I don't think any sort of crunching sound would be good! 😱
Clicking is an indicator of hip replacement
Middle splits practice caused me some sort of stiffness in my left butt, ur video helped me to figure out correctly n workouts u told, I was already doing, n yess movement is reducing the pain, I will try hot compress also
I'm glad the video shed some light on your sciatica. I hope the exercises help. Best Wishes, Ashley.
Been dealing with this for 3 months now. Been taking NSAIDs so I can get thru work. What I cant figure out is that I cant ride. The widening of pelvis just kills me all the way down the leg
I have left sided sciatic nerve problems, comes from degenerative disc disease in my lower back, when it gets really bad, I have to get a medrol and toradol shot, those last about 6 months. I refuse to quit living because I have this. I exercise daily, but don't over do, but when I do I rest with heating pads, or have to get these shots. Everyone is different follow your docs instructions or pain specialist instructions.
