G'day Everyone, welcome to the first video of 2022! If you’re suffering from pain associated with spinal stenosis, I hope this exercise video helps bring you relief. Let me know how you went down below. Make sure you’re subscribed to the channel also for more exercise videos. And I’ll see you soon for more! - Mike 😀
Welcome Mike to my program of my favorites list, totally effective exercises, I want to say from my humble opinion and I want to encourage everyone who follows you to do these exercises calmly without rushing listening to your body, it's great I'm personally going to put them on my daily life because I know very well that it is a great job for health and fitness. Excellent Mike, thank you thank you thank you very much!!
Thanks Mike. For a major sufferer of spinal stenosis, this is spot on. I have been given these exercises and others part of the treatment to keep me going. You are doing another great service to assist. Keep up the great work and enthusiasm. Jim
Thank you! I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis a while ago, but these are the first exercises I’ve tried. You use such a nice pace it was very encouraging.
Hi Mike, just did your lumbar spine exercises and felt great afterward. Neither my back nor my hip hurt right now. I'm pretty active but the last hike I did on uneven snowy trails caused me a lot of hip pain, and x-rays showed the lumbar scoliosis. Hoping exercises like the ones you post will help me get back to normal. Thanks for posting your videos. I like your exercises for upper body with weights as well.
Great video Mike. My lower back gets sore on long drives. These stretches were great this morning before and after a 2 hour drive. Helped a lot, thank you!
Great to hear John! You're welcome! You'll find the extension stretches, as per the sciatica video - or 4 exercises to do everyday video, most helpful for those long drives.
I'm 80, and I haven't exercised in 30 years, my back hurts if I stand for more than 5 minutes, I'd really like to be able to get around more. I'd also love to see some balance and flexibility exercises. Thank you for putting all these videos up.
Hi Jean! Happy 2022! Am 70 & had exercised on & off until I found More Life Health & Mike in Aug.2021. His concern for seniors & our overall well-being appealed to me & started exercising. I feel great now,although my back hurt just like yours do. All you need is to be persistant,consistant & when you don't feel like working out, ask: why not? What do I have to lose? As to balance & flexibility exercises, have you subscribed to the RUclips channel? There are many such exercises! I promise you work out with Mike & you'll forget you're 80!
It is never to late to start Jean :) You should be very proud of yourself for trying. We have a Facebook community too if you would like additional support from like minded peers. I will attach the link below. Any questions, please ask! facebook.com/morelifehealthseniors/
I just reviewed this video and, with the exception of the bridges, I found myself relaxing more and more just watching. , I'm familiar with all these moves, having found that they're all excellent, and feel oh so good! I do bridges regularly because I have spondilolisthesis (L5, S1) which pinches my sciatic nerve, after having suffered 3 bouts of painful and extended events which necessitate that I keep my core strong. This is a keeper simply because it's effective, even though I don't suffer from spinal stenosis, because it's truly relaxing and helpful. Again, my thanks Mike!...Anastasia
That is so great to hear Anastasia - I really appreciate your feedback, isn't it amazing that when our bodies adapt to certain exercises we can do them with more ease, it is like our subconscious takes over as we have already done the practice. Wonderful, keep up your great efforts!
I have spinal stenosis and have had surgery at L3-4, L4-5 and S1. It was clean out and did not work. I am doing your workout now for the 10th day. I feel some relief of the condition. I am 82 and the walking is the real problem. I am in rehab for balance and strength. Thanks for the work out.. all the best, GFH
The Hebrew translation is brilliant!! What a wonderful idea to have your words translated. As always, you are thinking of everyone! Wow, you never disappoint!! Stay well. and Covid free! xxx
Thank you Mike. Some good exercises. I can't do the bridge as it has always caused me pain so I don't do it. I replace it with some pelvic tilts...is that ok? So good to have someone help with SS. So many people just give up on us. Appreciate the info on peripheral neuropathy as well. Another problem that sufferers get little help and understanding with. You're doing a great job!
Mike, I had thoracic surgery July 2019, I was active before my surgery. After the surgery I am now limping on my rt leg, And continues 24 hrs pain on my back goes thru my rt tummy. Dr said that it’s my nerve. I hope you can show me a good exercises.
Hi, I am 62yo. I have a stenosis on my lower back. Most of the time I suffer from numbness on my R foot. The problem becomes more intense during my night sleep ( after 2-3 hours ). The above exercises r good but they will not help me get rid of the problem or minimise it. Thank you.
I suffering from tight hips pain and under feet l feeling tight. Please make video for tight hips and under the feet tight exercise. Please make exercise for me. Thanks for good information.
I have been diagnosed with lumber stenosis and recently had surgery on my back to decompress my spinal chord.and it has been successful... The hospital's physiotherapy department insisted that I carry out these type of exercises and although they can interfere with routine life, they are beneficial. ..
Thank you Mike for the great video I saw yesterday, it has really forced me to subscribe. I need some advice before I start. I am 67 good health, but have lower back pain while still standing for long time and half bent positions, It's been my daily routine for a morning walk for about 20 to 30 minutes but I don't feel any back pain. Can I start this exercise just after a morning walk and how long?
I was recently diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Do you think this will help the numbness I g re t from numbness that I get from the waist down to my toes???
Hello Mike, I am now into 8 months of these exercises. I have done them almost everyday. Progress has been made but I continue to have pain in the lumbar spine and walking 750 yards produces discomfort. Also, I do the 7 minute leg exercises on a daily basis. Wlhat more can I do? Thanks, Greg
Hi, is it ok to do some chair excercise with custom orthopedic shoes? It's all I have as nothing else fits. They are kind of big with thick soles and they don't breathe. I also have crps in RIGHT foot. Back is spasming a lot. Numbness in left upper leg. Drs can not help and no money. Thanks
Hi and thank you for teaching me these exercises. My question to you is , 1st let me start of by explaining what I'm dealing with. I have screws and rods from l2 /s1 with the pain stimulator. Will these exercises still good for me to do?
Exercise is important Gail. You want to get your body in the best physical condition possible. Take it slow, start with less and gradually build on this.
Both may work Randy. But you don't want to be wearing the back brace often. Only use it while walking, as it can weaken the postural muscles. So if it helps, use it, but aim to eventually wear it less and less, as you get improvements. You can also try less distance, more frequently without the brace/sticks, stopping before you have the trouble and gradually increase distance.
Hi I’ve now added these to PN legs and posture. At 83 I’m finding the bridge a bit of a challenge! Fortunately I am still fairly fit and other than my trapped nerves only have rhinitis and mild COPD.
Hi Diane :) thank you for reaching out. I would recommend getting clearance from your doctor beforehand as I am not aware of your individual situation.
Thanks Mike! Have just started to train to reduce my terrible pain from my Spinal stenosis in particular in my lover part of my legs and feet. I tried some of the exercises you suggested with my chiropractor. He also did some pressure on my hips and back. It helped, but I have to train home. I also do some training on my bicycle at home plus walking. That’s it. All the best ! / Jan Ps. Do you recommend bicycle training and walking + going to the gym. At the gym what kind of exercises do you recommend? Ds.
Hello Sir, I was diagnosed with a mediane bulging disc on l5 s1. With pain radiating to both legs. Could these excercises work for me? What i do know if i do the classic mckenzie exercise on the stomach, it makes it worst. Looking forward to your response. Kind regards, Rik
I have osteoporosis and spinal stenosis of my lower spine. Was prescribed physical therapy for 6 weeks, twice a week. It helped me. I continued with the PT exercises at home on my own. All but the last exercise in this video were the same ones that were prescribed to me by the therapist, plus I had several more simple but helpful ones to do. Speak to your doctor to ask what is best for you. Best wishes to you.
Hi . I’m in Scotland 🏴 & have very sore stenosis. I can’t take certain painkillers as they interfere with my urine . My physio has told me to do those same excersises & can do most except for one . Do you know of any painkiller that would ease my pain please. Thank you for all your information, it is much appreciated. ( I’m 74 years old) when I walk my dogs my back pain gets worse. Can you help me any further please. You explain everything very well . 👍🏴
I am 78 years old and it's hard to get down on the floor and up again. It hurts too much. (And unfotunatly the text is hidding you..... ) Can it be done on a hard bed?
Hey Renee. Yes, I mention that in the video, they are best done on a firm bed. You can turn the captions off by pressing the "CC" button on the bottom of the video.

Six months since my operation and although the area is tender, no significant pain.. The surgeon indicated that no stenosis exists..

Is it better to do these exercises on bed with a firm mattress so that the back is more comfortable and there does not seem to be safety issues?
Do you have suggestions for younger people. More active
Sitting on the chair and going down is something at this point I cannot do because it hurts too much when I’ve been like that in my dreams I can do it
OK to do these with a pillow for my head? Thanks!
That is the problem, I can’t get my head on the floor in the first place. Spine is bent on upper back???

What if you have had knee replacement and hip ?
I like you very much.
Do you have any exercises for the thoracic spine please

I was diagnosed with a mediane bulging disc on l5 s1. With pain radiating to both legs.
Could these excercises work for me?

Looking forward to your response.

Thought twisted your back is not recommended for spinal stenosis
If you don't have it you don't have a clue .....
Nae! You don't - bend ever, with stenosis! Goal ist 90deg.
