I am a truck driver. So I literally sit all day & my lower back pain is a constant throughout my day/ night. I just did your recommended stretches & my lower back pain has been alleviated. Dr. Berg. Sincerely. Thank you sir.
I am blown away, been suffering for days, did the stretch with the chair and the pain reduced by 30% immediately. Continued over a couple of days and now completely gone. YOU ARE GOLD Dr Berg.
@@Drberg. ....dr berg...pls explain how to do a quad stretch with my right leg shorter almost a 1/4 to a little over it and my psoas muscle was clipped by my doctor when doing a total hysterectomy...would u help me pls..😢
Very scared I was having kidney issues because of the strange deep one sided lower back pain, did the quad stretch and viola !!!! You are a life saver!
People also need to be aware that this may also be caused by toxic people, usually family. I had severe back pain since I was 12, when my migraines also started- and my horrid father became overly 'affectionate'. A great many health problems are due to emotional stressors. My back and migraine issues went away when I went no contact with family.....
Dr. Berg, I thank the Lord that I found your channel. You have no idea how much you have helped me!! I’m not where I want to be in terms of being able to stick to healthy keto just yet, but I’m getting better at it, and it makes me so happy to learn all this information that you put on RUclips. Keep up the great work!!!!
My low back pain is from injury in the 50's, I am now 86 yr old male, have dealt with this off and on.. this exercise is the first thing that is really working, seriously, I have been to sooooo many Dr,'s , , physical therapy and none have worked like this.. thank you soooooo much.
Dr.Berg your remedies are amazing. I have lower back disc pain, I couldn’t sleep through the night. I’m laying here awake in pain since 2 am watching your video. And I pressed on the posing muscles in my abdomen. My pain instantly went away. Thank you so much!!
It's amazing that the physical issues that I deal with get addressed by A Dr Berg video almost on a daily basis.... that's awesome Dr Berg, thank you👍 Jeff from NC
I must agree! Just last night before bed I determined that I needed to do a search on Dr. Berg's videos for this topic...even though I stand all day, I'm certain that these suggestions offered will take care of it. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!
Hi, I developed low back pain about 6 weeks ago, tried resting and ibuprofen, not much difference, so found your channel on RUclips, I tried the quadricep stretches and within seconds the pain had completely disappeared. I was amazed as I'm 67 now and thought I was stuck with a bad back due to my age , Thank you so much Dr berg this has made me very happy 👍👍
Wow! That's awesome thankyou, but the best doctor for me is Dr Berg. He always has a remedy for every ihealth ssues that you are dealing with as a matter of fact you would be thinking of a health issue and boom he is post a remedy for it. It looks like he can read his subscribers mine! 😊
Just added 50 thousand of d3 and my lower back feels great. It’s like instantaneous. Thank you so much Dr Eric. Plus the manipulation of a pain on the opposite limb helps tremendously.
I had severe back pain for months. I realised after watching this video how much I sit in a day so immediately took on board Dr Bergs advice, literally after one session in the gym stretching my thighs and gluts my back pain was gone. Thanks for the video Dr you saved me so much unnecessary pain.
I’ve just done 4 sets of those quad stretches and I’m astonished at how well this works!!! My lower back is entirely free now, especially compared to half an hour before. I’m truly amazed 👍👍👍
Don't forget to put a round tube thing under your back near your butt and lay on it for a half hour. Dr Berg says it will probably hurt and you'll have to start out with maybe a few minutes and work up to a half hour. That will reshape your spine and bring it back to how it was shaped when you were in your early twenties.
@@johnzuccarello8862 hi John, it’s just gone 9am here in the UK and I’m literally doing the stretches now. The video shows it from 2 minutes onwards. Hope it helps.

It works! I had this back pain for whole day, it was so bad that I almost cry! Watched this video and I did a few sets of the exercises , a few minutes , bingo! The pain was gone! Wow! Thank you Dr Berg!
Thanks a lot for this Dr. Berg....I tried so many back stretches and none of them were very effective, but this stretch actually worked very well! Never thought that I needed to stretch my quads to stretch my back!
Dr Berg you are a miracle worker. I've been in pain for a week in my lower back. I don't know what caused it but it's been very troublesome. I saw this video and decided to try the quad stretch and the improvement is remarkable. Pain is much reduced. Thank you 😊
With regards to low back pain, in addition to stretching the quadriceps muscle, it is important to stretch the hamstrings and hip flexors, so that the physiological curve of the spine is restored.
In a few days ill be 16 months and counting with lower back pain on the right side had a Mri a few months ago and i have L4 L5 and L5 S1 mild disc bulge and a mild annual tear. If anyone has gotten over this type injury please let me know what helped you. I wish everyone gets over your back pain stay positive you will heal.
Sitting so much also increases the feelings of despair. More than likely it's due to physical pain adding to the straws already on the back. Muscle balance is soooo important to recognize and balance out. Dr. Berg is actually helping me out tremendously with regards to my autoimmune disease issues. My deepest thanks. My insurance companies should be cutting him a cheque.
I am a truck driver as well, I threw my back out a year ago and havent been able to work since. Got the MRI, the only solution offered by a Dr I can see is getting shots in my back. I have been taking d3-k2 for years, Its obviously not kidney stones, the stretching and exercise does nothing but I'm also stuck at home with my now 17 month old and never can do things like that very often without someone crawling all over me. In the past couple weeks all of my pain has come back, I can't extend my right leg past my pelvis while walking very well and I can't lift anything. I can't get physical therapy, I can't get surgery, my healthcare is worthless, the Drs don't care. If I tell them about anything I research it's just "useless videos on the internet," to them because every Dr knows everything only in person. I'm at a dead end with all of this. I have no idea what to do and I cannot provide for my family or do anything. It's aweful. Watching these videos anymore is just wishful thinking.
Dr. Berg, you are a life saver. I tried your technique and it worked instantly. Thank you so much for your wise instructions. I have been watching your videos for several weeks and they have helped me tremendously. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Incredible. I just got a new job after having not had one for 6 months and was experiencing really bad lower back pain. I just toughed out a weeks worth of shifts in pain, and as if you could read my mind, you put out this video 3 days ago. Incredible. ps- I did the quad stretch midway through this video and the pain disappeared. I could kiss you
After a life of driving patient transport.. sitting too long then jumping up and bending, lifting while twisting and turning [poorly designed setup] ended up with a glut-medius tear that still haunts me from time to time.. I have to say this has been very informative even better explained than my providers & PT. I've found positive results pretty quickly as well! Thank you Dr. Berg!
I'm a plasterer, have been for 20 year. My back goes couple of times a year. Last couple of years nerves have been trapped running down my right leg. The nerve pain is agony. Your videos are the most interesting and useful that I've seen and heard on RUclips. Alot lot of people post videos.... Talk too much and go on about their self. Thankyou. You're great.
This worked instantly for me! Thank you Dr. Berg! I have been in extremely bad shape with my back. I have scoliosis which I was diagnosed with at 13. I always deal with back pain off and on but learned to just deal. Anyways it got really bad mostly lower right and right hip. I started taking 30,000 iu's of vitamin D3 with 300mcg of k2. I have been using a Tens unit for 3 or 4 hours a day. All this helped some but still was walking stooped over and couldn't stand, sit, walk far. Getting off the couch was a chore. Just by doing this one exercise several times a day or as needed I am almost totaly pain free!!❤ I sleep so much better and am waking pretty refreshed! Thank you Dr Berg from the bottom of my heart! I was able to pretty much shop for hours without pain. If I felt a twinge I would just stop and do the stretch in the middle of the store😂😂
My osteopathic doctor did x-rays and found I was 1 inch shorter in left leg. This caused my spin to try and compensate which caused my back pain. He first gave me shoe insert lifts, then eventually started slightly altering the lift on the heel of the shoe sole. AMAZING improvement!!!!!
I have the same problem, tried lifts but not sure if there was a difference, saw a chiro who said lifts aren’t good. Forget it I’m going back to the lift again.Thanks for reminding me, Been wanting to give it a go again, So much pain when walking and standing getting worse as I get older.
Walking, stretching by hanging from a pull-up bar or laying on my back on an exercise ball helps a lot. Switching to a sit-stand desk has also been very helpful.
I cannot believe that the stretch helped so well. I stretched it quite intense for 10 rounds (5 each) for 20s and I have no pain right now. Thank you so much!
If you have disc problem...you should follow thses steps 1. Take plenty of protien Food and other Vitamins and Minerals 2. Use apple Cider Vinegar to absorb All those Vitamins and Minerals and Minerals 3. Go for 3 Km Walk Daily....This is most Important thing to get relief from Disc Problems
Thanks Dr Berg….worked for me and I was in severe pain. I could not do the standing stretch but I used my foam roller on both quads! And already down 50% 🤗thank you
Doctor berg, u must be an angel watching over me. For the past 3 weeks have been dealing with lower back pain .... And was just looking to do some research . Then ur video popped up 🙏🏼. Got a temper pedic bed . I have been sleeping on my side lately which is not good. They say best on firm mattress and to sleep on back . But I've been sleeping on my side ... A bad habit I need to get out of --- And now I have side hip and side thigh pain when I walk ... and a lil' pain in the back of my thigh.... 😭 Next video shud def be how to solve and resolve that pain . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you Dr. Berg Your wife and children are soooo lucky!
I started the stretches during the video while listening to the rest and my back pain got soooo much better and the video isn’t even over yet 😀😀 - thank you Dr Berg 👍👍
Oooo my GOSH!! I just tried this I was have severe lower back pain that felt like it was taking my breath away it hurt so much! Just tried this and got soooooo much relief I still have soreness but at lease I can walk straight again and get out of bed with out severe pain🙌🏼God bless you Dr
Great info and great suggestions, but I was thrown off by 30,000 IU of vitamin D? That is 3,750% RDA of a fat soluble vitamin (Bioactive vitamin D or calcitriol is actually a steroid hormone) and that can be quite toxic. Do you mean to load at 30,000 for a few days then back off to about 5,000? Again - from all of the research I have done about vitamin D, that is way too much as a daily dosage. I take 5,000 IUs and my blood results show optimum levels.
Dr.Berg I wish you could be my doctor in real life! You are def my go to YT doctor and absolutely the best! You’re advice is helping me fix my digestive issues that I’ve had for years and today you helped fix my back in minutes! Can’t thank you enough!
I seldom have low back pain. But, when I woke up this morning with low back, hip pan, I immediately said to myself, I know who can “fi” this. DR. BERG,! Sure enough, Thank you Dr. Berg!!!!! Much better now.
I have a scoliosis to upper back and lombar area.I am at an age where it,s quite difficult at times!I am still quite active.Thank you for your dedication in all the areas that you touch on,Blessings!
Holy cow!! That thigh stretch worked immediately!! Thank you, Dr. Berg. For the last couple of days I’ve had unexplainable lower back pain, crazy arch pain in both feet too and then the lower back pain-wth! Thank you for the immediate fix & vitamin idea. I think yoga helps too, just need to get up earlier. Thank you for your videos!!
ANYONE WHO HAS BACK PAIN READ THIS. I dealt with persistent back pain every day for 12 months. Tried many exercises, heat rubs, anti inflammatory meds etc nothing worked.. In the end I found a manageable solution. Go to an overhead bar, a low tree branch anywhere you can hang like a monkey would. Try and relax your body as much as you can while hanging. You only need to hang for 20 seconds.. Do this once a day and then you'll find after a few days you only need to do it once a week and now I do it about once every 2 weeks and my pain now is about a 0.5/10.. So I went from a persistent daily pain of 5/10.. Seriously it was crippling at times.. To something I barely notice unless I'm tieing shoe laces. I hope this helps.
I enjoy your videos fully. You get straight to the facts to help people and I've never watched a video where you've asked anyone to subscribe. I greatly appreciate the no nonsense approach. Thank you sir!
Great doc berg .... I'm having lower back pain more than 3 months, I took painkillers for month the pain is reduced, but it never go away. I did the first stretch in the video , less than 1 min & I'm shocked, the pain goes away.... I'm more than 3 months having this irritating pain just to go away in less than 1 min. Thank U very much doc. Berg... U are the best.🤓
I was just walking along then from the waist up I started to lean forward I didn’t know what was happening my back muscles locked to protect my spinal cord I had a protruding disc unbelievable pain had two hepodruroles now all good.
Please please please will you make a video on how to improve sun damaged/dry skin ❤️ Love your videos. They've helped me so so much with my health and feel so much better about myself. Hero in the making!
I use his tips on omega 3. I use to get burn skin within 30 minutes of sun exposure… In 2017, I saw his video on using wild caught cod liver. And I use 2-3 cans of it in big salads with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Per week. Now it is close to impossible to get burned skin, doesn’t matter how long I’m under the sun. (Mediterranean area).
Dr. Berg how you do it but everytime I have a problem you post a video about it... it's so amazing!!!!! And I do not believe in coincidences thank you so much ❤️ I really hope it's not kidney stones. Felt a huge relief after stretching and lower back feels a bit better.
I use a back brace when walking. It keeps my head forward and keeps me from slumping. The benefits keep from sitting. I also have an alarm on my phone that goes off at the top of the hour to remind me to walk. I walk 10,000 steps 5-6 times a week. Thanks Dr. Berg. .
Bro you gotta get his neck device from his website. Totally fixed my bad neck after 3 uses and it's been fixed now almost a year, it also fixed my lower back. Once it aligns your spine it fixed everything. Comes in a box with directions. And also have methods using it to help other issues
Dr. berg, this is off subject but you are looking really healthy these days! Thank you for taking the time to make such valuable content for us! Blessings!
Awesome stretch, thank you Dr. Berg! My adjustable desk is very helpful also. I have increased my Vitamin D3 and I notice a difference in my lower back pain.
Thank you so much! I have suffered this problem for years and now I understand that my endometriosis, hirsutism, back pain and gastritis have the same solution: watching out what I eat. Bye sugar, hydrogenated oils, canned food, sausages, refined flours and welcome to real food and iodine. Thank you so much❤
You're right...Since I stopped working temporarily (Teacher teaching classes, walking from class to class standing most of the time) I have been sitting a lot lately on the computer and become lazy so I have this constant lower back pain...I'm gonna try these exercises and do a lot more walking again before I go back to work in a couple months where I'm more physical and energetic like I use to be.
Keep your back neutral -as in tighten your tummy-while stretching the quads. Don’t let your back go into “sway back” while stretching or you lose the effectiveness. (From a PT)
@@toddburgess6792 Hello, Mr. Burgess; My wife had female surgery, mesh 'installed'. They had to remove it, she will get a settlement. You should look into a suit.
I have a better fix. Do 20 squats for every hour you sit. It stretches the quadriceps and many other muscles. Not to mention the improved circulation and heart rate variability. Thank me later. ;-)
I usually suffer from lower back pain after long walks or runs (8 miles or more). Is it possible that this is so because my muscles are weak (abdomen, for example) and the lower back muscles have to compensate for it?
Thank you for this information I used to run and do heavy weights on squarts and started having back lower back pain, now it has been two years in pain and I can run anymore. I have gain alot of weight from not exercising.
I hope you know how much you do for all of us…. So grateful….. I just tried using one of your techniques on this video and it worked! It’s the one where you press in on the abdomen 2 inches down from your belly button to release your back! Unbelievable! Thank you so much. God bless
Excessive Sitting 10-15 hrs a day-- Yep I just stood up. Did the standing quadricep stretch using a chair 10 sec both legs 5 X and had some relief. going to work up to one hour and walk out around the House barefoot. Berg said not about strengthening but stretching. For the symmetrical help which I guess is similar to postural I am going back to Egoscue exercises I know especially 'Static Back' It has helped me greatly in the past but I have to keep doing them daily not just in short spurts. Upped my Vit D K2 and D3 capsules. Ice, cold baths, sunlight.
I have all those things, old sports injuries on the right side and over compensating on the left side, which is now causing back and hip pain. Wide spread chronic pain, chronic insomnia, and chronic fatigue.... happy trio. /s
Dr. Berg PLEASE do a video on inversion. I am wondering if these tables are generally good for your health. I tell everyone "Anything you need to know, just search 'Dr Berg" first and there will be a video....I think this is the ONLY exception I have ever found.

After a life of driving patient transport.. sitting too long then jumping up and bending, lifting while twisting and turning [poorly designed setup] ended up with a glut-medius tear that still haunts me from time to time.. I have to say this has been very informative even better explained than my providers & PT. I've found positive results pretty quickly as well! Thank you Dr. Berg!
I'm a plasterer, have been for 20 year. My back goes couple of times a year. Last couple of years nerves have been trapped running down my right leg. The nerve pain is agony. Your videos are the most interesting and useful that I've seen and heard on RUclips. Alot lot of people post videos.... Talk too much and go on about their self. Thankyou. You're great.
This worked instantly for me! Thank you Dr. Berg! I have been in extremely bad shape with my back. I have scoliosis which I was diagnosed with at 13. I always deal with back pain off and on but learned to just deal. Anyways it got really bad mostly lower right and right hip. I started taking 30,000 iu's of vitamin D3 with 300mcg of k2. I have been using a Tens unit for 3 or 4 hours a day. All this helped some but still was walking stooped over and couldn't stand, sit, walk far. Getting off the couch was a chore. Just by doing this one exercise several times a day or as needed I am almost totaly pain free!!❤ I sleep so much better and am waking pretty refreshed! Thank you Dr Berg from the bottom of my heart! I was able to pretty much shop for hours without pain. If I felt a twinge I would just stop and do the stretch in the middle of the store😂😂
Way to go Paula! You are an alpha female who thinks nothing to just stop and do the stretch in the middle of the store. Cheers!
@@ronniemead805 yes I have done it everywhere!! I don't care! It works!!
My sister is now suffering from back pain. Thank you Dr. Berg for this video.💕
My osteopathic doctor did x-rays and found I was 1 inch shorter in left leg. This caused my spin to try and compensate which caused my back pain. He first gave me shoe insert lifts, then eventually started slightly altering the lift on the heel of the shoe sole. AMAZING improvement!!!!!
I have the same problem, tried lifts but not sure if there was a difference, saw a chiro who said lifts aren’t good. Forget it I’m going back to the lift again.Thanks for reminding me, Been wanting to give it a go again, So much pain when walking and standing getting worse as I get older.
Thanks Dr. Berg. You educate us to pay attention to all parts of our life to have a better life.
Very glad to be of help.
Walking, stretching by hanging from a pull-up bar or laying on my back on an exercise ball helps a lot. Switching to a sit-stand desk has also been very helpful.
I second that, I like hanging from pull-up bar to release joint pressure and pain from SI joint as well.
Amazing stretch exercise! It knocked out 50% of my lower backache instantly!
Thanks, Dr. Berg.
My lower back is aching right now and this video shows up. Thank you doctor.
I cannot believe that the stretch helped so well. I stretched it quite intense for 10 rounds (5 each) for 20s and I have no pain right now.
Thank you so much!
Dr. Berg thanks for posting this video. It’s much needed for me.
If you have disc problem...you should follow thses steps
1. Take plenty of protien Food and other Vitamins and Minerals
2. Use apple Cider Vinegar to absorb All those Vitamins and Minerals and Minerals

Wonderful! You're very welcome.
I was having low backpain ,last 2 days I did on your video,40 %pain is gone immediately, thank Dr Berg, God bless you
Thanks so much Dr Berg for being here for us
Glad to help!
Boron may be extremely helpful when it comes to back pain.
Boron supplements can be very helpful for arthritis.
Oooo my GOSH!! I just tried this I was have severe lower back pain that felt like it was taking my breath away it hurt so much! Just tried this and got soooooo much relief I still have soreness but at lease I can walk straight again and get out of bed with out severe pain🙌🏼God bless you Dr
Great info and great suggestions, but I was thrown off by 30,000 IU of vitamin D? That is 3,750% RDA of a fat soluble vitamin (Bioactive vitamin D or calcitriol is actually a steroid hormone) and that can be quite toxic. Do you mean to load at 30,000 for a few days then back off to about 5,000? Again - from all of the research I have done about vitamin D, that is way too much as a daily dosage. I take 5,000 IUs and my blood results show optimum levels.
All I have to say is, THANK YOU! For all that you do.
Dr.Berg I wish you could be my doctor in real life! You are def my go to YT doctor and absolutely the best! You’re advice is helping me fix my digestive issues that I’ve had for years and today you helped fix my back in minutes! Can’t thank you enough!
I seldom have low back pain. But, when I woke up this morning with low back, hip pan, I immediately said to myself, I know who can “fi” this. DR. BERG,! Sure enough, Thank you Dr. Berg!!!!! Much better now.
I have a scoliosis to upper back and lombar area.I am at an age where it,s quite difficult at times!I am still quite active.Thank you for your dedication in all the areas that you touch on,Blessings!
Hope these videos help!

Holy cow!! That thigh stretch worked immediately!! Thank you, Dr. Berg. For the last couple of days I’ve had unexplainable lower back pain, crazy arch pain in both feet too and then the lower back pain-wth! Thank you for the immediate fix & vitamin idea. I think yoga helps too, just need to get up earlier. Thank you for your videos!!
Thank you very much, Dr Berg. You are spot on! I suffer from low back pain. You are just amazing. God Bless you. Love Maureen ❤️
Iam happy to come across this my husband enjoys seating and is developing back pain with excruciating pain. Iam helped
Thank you Dr Berg for all the help and knowledge you're sharing🙏. Lower back pain happens occasionally
ANYONE WHO HAS BACK PAIN READ THIS. I dealt with persistent back pain every day for 12 months. Tried many exercises, heat rubs, anti inflammatory meds etc nothing worked.. In the end I found a manageable solution. Go to an overhead bar, a low tree branch anywhere you can hang like a monkey would. Try and relax your body as much as you can while hanging. You only need to hang for 20 seconds.. Do this once a day and then you'll find after a few days you only need to do it once a week and now I do it about once every 2 weeks and my pain now is about a 0.5/10.. So I went from a persistent daily pain of 5/10.. Seriously it was crippling at times.. To something I barely notice unless I'm tieing shoe laces. I hope this helps.
Sounds like traction worked for you 👍 Do you have a disc bulge?
I enjoy your videos fully. You get straight to the facts to help people and I've never watched a video where you've asked anyone to subscribe. I greatly appreciate the no nonsense approach. Thank you sir!
Great doc berg .... I'm having lower back pain more than 3 months, I took painkillers for month the pain is reduced, but it never go away. I did the first stretch in the video , less than 1 min & I'm shocked, the pain goes away.... I'm more than 3 months having this irritating pain just to go away in less than 1 min. Thank U very much doc. Berg... U are the best.🤓
Perfect timing Dr. B! TY🤩 I sit down a lot due to my job but I been doing all of your recommendations and it works.
I was just walking along then from the waist up I started to lean forward I didn’t know what was happening my back muscles locked to protect my spinal cord I had a protruding disc unbelievable pain had two hepodruroles now all good.
Please please please will you make a video on how to improve sun damaged/dry skin ❤️
Love your videos. They've helped me so so much with my health and feel so much better about myself. Hero in the making!
Vitamin C serum or cream helped my skin.
I use his tips on omega 3. I use to get burn skin within 30 minutes of sun exposure… In 2017, I saw his video on using wild caught cod liver. And I use 2-3 cans of it in big salads with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Per week. Now it is close to impossible to get burned skin, doesn’t matter how long I’m under the sun. (Mediterranean area).
Dr. Berg how you do it but everytime I have a problem you post a video about it... it's so amazing!!!!! And I do not believe in coincidences thank you so much ❤️ I really hope it's not kidney stones. Felt a huge relief after stretching and lower back feels a bit better.
Our bodies are made to move! ❤️
No way, this works! I’m shocked. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I use a back brace when walking. It keeps my head forward and keeps me from slumping. The benefits keep from sitting. I also have an alarm on my phone that goes off at the top of the hour to remind me to walk. I walk 10,000 steps 5-6 times a week. Thanks Dr. Berg. .
Bravo
Couch stretch works really well to., Walking and get a standup desk or desk riser.
Thanks Dr Berg you are amazing.
8m a cosmetologist of 35 yrs my back is shot thank you for this video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Would it be possible to address neck pain that is causing index, middle finger numbness, and dizziness.
Bro you gotta get his neck device from his website. Totally fixed my bad neck after 3 uses and it's been fixed now almost a year, it also fixed my lower back. Once it aligns your spine it fixed everything. Comes in a box with directions. And also have methods using it to help other issues
He may have answered this in some videos on neck pain. Some of the neck pain have to do with lack of bile salts.
vitamin D 30,000 IU - once a week or how often?
Dr. berg, this is off subject but you are looking really healthy these days! Thank you for taking the time to make such valuable content for us! Blessings!
I agree. I was wondering what was going on... he looks so different...hmmmm?🤔🤔
@@jennifergray5499 the facial hair I think
this guy is the GOAT of doctors
Awesome stretch, thank you Dr. Berg! My adjustable desk is very helpful also. I have increased my Vitamin D3 and I notice a difference in my lower back pain.
Cool 👍 thanks for sharing.
How much D3 are you taking?
@@gabyd5662 I noticed relief when I increased from 5000 iu to 10,000 iu.
Is he talking about 30k IU a day of vitamine D3? Bcz i see on google the advised amount is around 600 IU a day
@@rasuloesajev9576 Yes and he explained why in some of his videos on vitamin D and vitamin D absorption.
It works for me.
Thank you so much! I have suffered this problem for years and now I understand that my endometriosis, hirsutism, back pain and gastritis have the same solution: watching out what I eat. Bye sugar, hydrogenated oils, canned food, sausages, refined flours and welcome to real food and iodine. Thank you so much❤
You're right...Since I stopped working temporarily (Teacher teaching classes, walking from class to class standing most of the time) I have been sitting a lot lately on the computer and become lazy so I have this constant lower back pain...I'm gonna try these exercises and do a lot more walking again before I go back to work in a couple months where I'm more physical and energetic like I use to be.
Keep your back neutral -as in tighten your tummy-while stretching the quads. Don’t let your back go into “sway back” while stretching or you lose the effectiveness. (From a PT)
very important information. It is crucial to engage the core when walking, standing or bending over.
I have a Hernia right now, really helpful for the future. Thank you so much Dr. Berg 💛
Hernia can be fixed only through a surgery right ?

I've had a miserable 8 years and counting.
@@vincentt4900 No! Dr Berg made videos on this. Possibly easier to find on his website or by asking his staff.
@@toddburgess6792
Hello, Mr. Burgess;
My wife had female surgery, mesh 'installed'.
They had to remove it, she will get a settlement.
You should look into a suit.
Your solutions are always simple! No wonder we are addicted to your videos...
Thank you so so
I have a better fix. Do 20 squats for every hour you sit. It stretches the quadriceps and many other muscles. Not to mention the improved circulation and heart rate variability. Thank me later. ;-)
I like that
Cant do that w knee replacement. I tried.
Dr berg is a pure gold man !! he has helped me with various health issues - he is the best
I usually suffer from lower back pain after long walks or runs (8 miles or more). Is it possible that this is so because my muscles are weak (abdomen, for example) and the lower back muscles have to compensate for it?
Maybe do yoga before sleeping (adriane yoga on RUclips), core exercises and vitamin D, K, Mag
Thank you for this information
I used to run and do heavy weights on squarts and started having back lower back pain, now it has been two years in pain and I can run anymore. I have gain alot of weight from not exercising.
Sitting puts 90% more pressure on your sciatic nerve than standing up or laying down
I did the stretches and took more vitamin D and my lower back pain cleared up! This was after doing the usual chiro handling. Thanks Dr Berg!
I relate to this beard sooo much 😄
I stretched my quad and my lower back pain reduced. Thank you, dr. Berg!
Awesome! I'm really glad it helped you.
My mid back pain gets more severe when walking over 30min…what should I do
Have you checked your vitamin d levels? He made incredible videos on vitamin d and on absorption of vitamin D which improved my life a lot.
Strengthen your core muslces. Also look into some type of athletic inner soles to stop the shock absorption at your feet.
I hope you know how much you do for all of us…. So grateful….. I just tried using one of your techniques on this video and it worked! It’s the one where you press in on the abdomen 2 inches down from your belly button to release your back!
Unbelievable!
Thank you so much. God bless
So cool 👍
Dr berg the dr of truth
Excessive Sitting 10-15 hrs a day-- Yep I just stood up.
Did the standing quadricep stretch using a chair 10 sec both legs 5 X and had some relief.
going to work up to one hour and walk out around the House barefoot. Berg said not about strengthening but stretching. For the symmetrical help which I guess is similar to postural I am going back to Egoscue exercises I know especially 'Static Back' It has helped me greatly in the past but I have to keep doing them daily not just in short spurts. Upped my Vit D K2 and D3 capsules. Ice, cold baths, sunlight.
Bingo doc !!!! Lower back pain can be caused by picking up the slack of somewhere else in your body that needs stretched
Thank you, Dr. Berg!! I was doing the exercises while watching this. I feel better already!!
I have all those things, old sports injuries on the right side and over compensating on the left side, which is now causing back and hip pain.
Wide spread chronic pain, chronic insomnia, and chronic fatigue.... happy trio. /s
Dr. Berg
PLEASE do a video on inversion. I am wondering if these tables are generally good for your health.
I tell everyone "Anything you need to know, just search 'Dr Berg" first and there will be a video....I think this is the ONLY exception I have ever found.
Please I need more information about inversion tables as well
