Thank you a question I have is I have a left hip bursitis and in the lower back diagnosed with degeneration with nerve damage and a bursitis... in what ways can I relieve the constant deep pain, it has subsided over the years with certain stretches so I'm hoping you can advise me in this area I am over 50 years of age and it was due to repetition and in my work- related years? I started to do these excercises in your video. Thank you very much.
@@lornabartlett2744 check out these hip pain relief exercises: ruclips.net/video/QbTekGrsKi8/видео.html
Whats the diameter of the roller?
Could you share the link to purchase?
Is the amazonbasics roller?
and I suggest a compilation of exercises to improve your posture completely.
@@salvadorvillagomezalcala1750 posture exercise video is a great suggestion! Here's the one I'm using: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MVW6CMG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Can these steps be done in any sequence or is this sequence required.
I've had significant scoliosis for most of my life, but only regular discomfort/pain in the past few years (since my mid-40's). I just worked through these exercises for the first time and I am sitting here absolutely stunned by how comfortable and pain-free my back feels. I forgot what this felt like! Thanks so much.
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!
Finally, a focus on scoliosis. Thank you!!
Hope it helps, and thanks for watching!
@@DrRowe sir...mine i kid you not...is so painful..you see...i dropped out of school my first week of high school specifically..so i have always busted my butt and bassically break back at lawn maintenance and roofing..i was born with it i suppose but also as a tiny lil baby just walking i was so bow legged . I thought i could get strong and grow out of it..but now its worse than ever..i dont know what too do anymore..my quesrion is.can my spine actually snap in half. Spontaneously at any given timee .im creeped out thinking about it ...litterally hell pain im talking..and i could be on the most comfortable bed in the world..i still couldnt ever truly be comfortable. Heck..why even this night now the pain wont let me sleep. I swear
Great clip. Do you have excercise to correct scoliosis . My son is 16 and he has moderate S shaped scoliosis
focus on some bitches
I have been to specialists and multiple doctors since I was 15 over my back.. it took 3 years to get a diagnosis and then the specialists told me that I was exaggerating because there was "no proof scoliosis causes pain." I was devastated and am still suffering. I am 37 now and have never known relief. Thank you.
Hope the exercises help, and thanks for watching.
Well I had doctors telling me that too, simply because the pain , in my case anyway, is caused by the nerves not being where they should be. Remedial massages and yoga have saved me from every day pain. They also say rotation of torso isn’t good but how come it feels so good 🤔
Fire that Doctor!! In 2018-19, I consulteed with 6 different Spinal / Neural Surgeons for surgical opinions for my Spinal Conditions which included various sites of Mild to Mderate Stenosis, Disc Bulges / herniations , Spinal Spondyliosis, facet joint arthritis and Lumbar Dextroscoliosis of 22 degrees. Much of this has been created by having a 1" shorter Right leg The Leg Length Discrepancy was caused by a fractured femur in 1966 at age 15 , playing HS Football. It was left unaddressed by the Ortho dr at the time. AFter about 15 years or so, the Lower back Stiffness started and Progressed to wreak Havoc in my Spine, Hips, SI Joints, up to the top of my neck. The SI Joints (Inflammed for YEARS) are Ground Zero for most, if not all Back Issues / Conditions (per my Rheumatologist). The Physiatry Balance of the body was affected and that has created the Misery I feel at 73 YO now. One Surgeon at Mt. Sinai in NYC, told me that many Doctors count Scoliosis "short". Not only is the Spine Curved it is also Twisted - that affects the various Nerves that come form the Spinal Canal throiugh the Formina / facet jouints and feed the various organs / muscles in the body. I'm in daily discomfort with some days much worse than others . Been to 6 different Chiros, Acupuncturists, PTs aplenty, with little relief. However, Lately I've been doing more and more Stretching (general modes) and that is providing some help to loosen the terrible Stiffness in the back and the Muscles. My Conditions have also spawned Fibromyalgia as well......Muscle /Jount Tenderness and pain everywhere. Lastly, I take many supplements in the Hope fo finding Magic Pills,. Haven't found that yet, but some do help.
Thank you so much! I am 67 years old and developed scoliosis about 5 years and seems to be progressing quickly. (10 degrees), not to mention, debilitating. Not one person has addressed what I can do to help slow the progression. All I get is more pain killers and nerve blockers. I just finished 3 months of P.T., which mostly addressed balance issues but also included my knee and lower back. I had an L3-S1 fusion about 18 years ago. On my second to last day of PT, I re-injured my back. No more Doctors. Just chiropractic. I feel this is my only hope.
This is GREAT. I will go to town this weekend to get a foam roller and can't wait to get started. Maybe it will also help with my depression and anger. Thank you SO MUCH!
The foam roller is a great investment, and thanks so much for watching!
I'm 18 years old and i have injured knees and two bulging discs because of scoliosis, I feel you.
Took me 10 years of chronic pain to even get referred to a doctor to potentially start pain medication.
I have significant scoliosis in an s-curve as well as lordosis. I've been struggling with random back pain instances that have ranged from tolerable to totally unbearable. These past few weeks have been horrendous due to acute lower back pain. I have gone for physiotherapy, with acupuncture, twice within a timeframe of about 6 days and nothing changed at all. I even thought about seeing a chiropractor! I came across this video out of sheer desperation from not being able to handle the pain anymore. After trying the 'sexy pose' stretch, I could almost immediately feel a difference. I became more mobile and felt like a new person. I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart. My lower back pain is finally starting to go away thanks to your advice, you're a lifesaver!
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!
Good morning .
How are you ?
I don't understand English, but looking for a video about scoliosis because I have a month where the doctor told me this is the diagnosis I suffer from, I also looked at your comment.
My question is, have you recovered with these exercises and how are you now?
Greetings from Italia
@@Danusha-mj2gm I definitely have a lot less pain since doing the stretches every day. There are still some days when my lower back will be sore, but then I would take some pain medication for relief.
He’s so fit! 😌Rolling, talking , stretching! Thank you for all of your videos Doc!!
Thanks so much for watching!
I've had scoliosis since I was 12 years old. Only now at 41 does it hurt. This is a GREAT video!!!! I had a terrible chiropractor experience but I would try again if you were near me. These videos are super in depth. Thank you for the relief!
Hope these exercises help for a long time to come, and thank you so much for watching!
Last couple months I have been getting more severe back pain and I tried a couple of the stretches, great help even for temporary relief.
I haven´t seen a single useless or boring video by Mr. Rowe. I always wonder how long can this flawless ride continue. So far so good. I can confirm that I do many of his exercises daily and they do help me to relieve my back pain if I keep working them out regularly.
Wow, I really appreciate that! Now the pressure is on to keep putting out decent videos 😅 Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
THANK YOU for your support of the channel, I appreciate it more than I can say. I hope the exercises are helping, and thanks again! - Dr. Rowe -
OMG THANK YOU IT RELIEVES THE PAIN JUST RIGHT NOW!!!! I LITERALLY CRY 😭 THANK YOUUUU
Great to hear you’re getting relief!
You're the only doc I trust to flatten the curve! Thanks Dr Rowe!
Ha, thanks so much for watching!
My Spine Hurts So Bad
You just solved my scoliosis back pain! Thanks Doctor Rowe. Also, greetings from the Philippines.
GREAT to hear that! Thanks so much for watching.
OMG thank you. I have been in excrutiating pain. Ditched working out last night to do these exercises and it's like a miracle
Glad it helped you!
@@DrRowe Do you have any opinion on another issue that I think is contributing to my pain? I have a bad bunion on my right foot that was "fixed" about a year ago. Unfortunately ever since then I cannot walk properly, and my back pain is on my right side, lower back. I know I have a curved spine but I'm wondering if the two are related in any way. I have no problem on my Peloton bike and the rowing machine but I will never run again;.
The only RUclips doctor who reads and replies to all comments
Only the good ones 😎
I’ve been crying in pain for over 3 hrs this morning thank you for your video I sleep eat and breath good posture to try to flatten the curve and it’s driving me insane
Hope the exercises end up making a big difference, and thanks so much for watching!
Thank you. This video helped me out a lot. I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis. My doctor put me on pain medication, but he never showed me the exercises. I will be doing your exercises from now on.😉❤
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!
I think what happened to you shows the travesty of the American style of healthcare. Give pain pills out like candy instead of practical solutions such as the stretches in this video.
Thank you to Dr. Rowe.
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. Getting older does NOT have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. Always looking to learn more. Thanks!
Thanks again for watching!
You said that getting older DOES have to mean gearing sicker? Really?
@@leahtreck1083 Meant to say “does NOT” … thanks for catching this.
Thanks Doc I've had scoliosis for 7 years now it's a blessing i finally found a video on scoliosis relief thank you so much your a blessing💕
Hope these exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!
“How to relieve scoliosis pain in 30 seconds…” 10 minute video lmao 🤣 but for real thank you!! I’ve been doing this for over 11 years and can’t unfortunately have surgery. Curved and twisted at a 70°>, was 65 but gets worse over time. I’m 26 and have been going to the same pain clinic for over 11 years and I’m telling you that you HAVE TO do more than take your medication or your going to be in more pain and suffer. The more tools the better!! Usually over the years I was shown the same stretches during physical therapy, so this helps add to my bag of tricks!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏾
I can't Thank You enough! My back is just tingling..
I appreciate your video so much, 30 year old female with mild scoliosis. Celebrated the 4th of July, then had a movie night with three kids, on the couch! Am i asking for back pain at this point?! - Lol, thank you for helping me learn how to stretch out the pain and get relief. You are truly appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
Found your video and will try these exercises. Born with scoliosis. I'm 66, swim, bike, yin yoga, former runner and have pain/ severe spasms between shoulder blades and lower back. A retired Dental Hygienist, I thought my pain/spasms was from my work position but retired 3 years and pain increasing. 5 months ago sitting on a concrete bench at an outdoor concert, I got a severe back spasm in my back right side that literally threw me supine. It's affecting my right hip and right leg. I can bike 50-75 miles without pain but sitting, standing, walking (weight bearing) causes pain snd spasms. Leaning forward severe spasms. I went from being able to walk long distance to pain in back, hip and right leg after 1 block. I'm in physical therapy for 1 week now but I am also going to start this program tonight!!! Wish me luck!
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon!
i honestly think i have a new spine.. this gave me such a relief.. thank you so much!
Great to hear you’re getting a lot of relief!
The pain started to cease after the first stretch. Thank you, I never thought there was a way to relieve it
Great to hear you’re getting relief! Thanks for watching too.
Finally!!! After doing these exercises my back feels great!!! 😇 Thank you for this video Doc, it really helps my pain! Keep up the good work and please we want more videos about scoliosis.
Will do, and thanks for watching!
Wow, the last side stretch worked, big time! I chose to breathe deeply to expand the stretching area; it expands the stretch and effectiveness. Subscribed and Liked! Thank you Dr. Rowe.
Just from the first exercise I felt a huge relief. Thank you so much for this video!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! I have a 45 degree scoliosis curve and it hurts super bad, this helped a ton! thank you!
Great to hear that! Thanks so much for watching.
I really needed this.. my upper back has been killing me for a few days. After following along with your video, it feels a lot better. Thanks!!
Great to hear you're getting relief, and thanks so much for watching!
Mm after doing stretches along with you my back feels great. I will continue doing stretching exercises. Thank you!

Great to hear the scoliosis exercises are helping, thanks for watching!
Thank you. 🙏🏾 The one against the door WORKS! WOW!!!🤩
Thanks so much for watching!
Please please do more videos for those of us who are older and have developed scoliosis. For those of us who can’t get surgery and have to try and stop the progression and deal with the pain of it. Thank you so much for all you are doing! ❤️🩹
Thanks for the suggestion!
I had a 24-degree angle curve on my back. I started to have it when I was around 16 years old.
Then, I learned how to do exercises by myself, incorporating some of the techniques you showed, although not all of them. Eventually, I was able to reduce the curve to 18 degrees. I feel that the curve has gone back to the same as before.
Now that I am 49 years old, I am wondering if it is still possible for me to further improve my curve, even if just a little bit. Thank you so much for providing such valuable, safe, and effective instructions.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome question
In how many days, months, or years were you able to reduce from 24 to 18?
Thank you for all your useful videos about scoliosis!
I'm trying this today. scoliosis has been a big problem for the past 3 years for me.
Hope the exercises help!
Thank you so much Dr. Rowe. I will definitely try these. Relief at last! 😄
Thanks so much for watching!
Life seems tougher and challenging every single day 😩😭
Hope the exercises are helping. Thanks for watching.
Imagine my life having anxiety problems and scoliosis :c every day is a hole challenge
@@agostinaesquivel5966 you might need to take magnesium and potassium for your anxiety.✌️
@@agostinaesquivel5966 Hey I used to have anxiety, extreme OCD and anxiety actually, so I know what it’s like. What I suggest the most is to just be open, be open to getting help, telling others about how you feel, open to change, open to being ok even when you don’t feel like you are, and just being open to everything. I highly suggest therapy if you aren’t already, using self affirmations (there are some great videos of this online), and meditation. If you ever need anything, let me know, I’m here for you! ❤️
Please why are you not answering the questions?
Ok, yo I could cry cause these stretches just relieved pain from my tailbone region. I'm gonna start doing these every morning now! Bless y'all for this
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
So basis common sense and astounding in effect. I had the nagging thoughts my life was over. What would I do? Blessed RUclips sent me here and I resonated with it immediately. In no time at all, about 5 minutes, with a heat pad, I got right to it. Magic, the pain lessened considerably. I was able to start my day that I thought was gone from me. Maximum thanks and gratitude for putting this out. Your vibe is perfect.
Immediate relief. Especially the side plank exercise. This helps so much. Thank you...🙏🏼
Great to hear you got immediate relief, and thanks so much for watching!
U R best dr Rowe!!

Great video! More scoliosis videos please!
We'll try to add more scoliosis stretches and exercises in the near future. Thanks for watching!
i can’t wait to try this when i get out of bed! haven’t slept all night :(
I was cured of my scoliosis after 31.5 years! I fell off of my skateboard at age 15. I have tried EVERYTHING! I thought I would die with it. Guess what ? Last Friday a miracle happened and now I’m cured! My chiropractor is still in awe! It happened as a result of someone grabbing me and picking me up by my ribs! It was an accident! He had no idea what he was doing. I was stretching on my toes and my head was tilted backwards. My hands were reaching up as high as they could. Before I could resist, He grabbed me and picked me up ... we heard loud cracks like never before it scared him ! So when he put me down I was COMPLETELY STRAIGHT AGAIN. I had a severe S curve of at least 32 degrees. I had a 13 mm leg length difference... I’m cured. Now I am a little sore on my rib but I’m soooo blessed! I’m going to therapy now twice a week to keep my hip in place. ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💫💫💫✨✨✨
Wow, that is soooo good to hear! Sometimes miracles happen when we at least expect them💪❤️
I like the arrow showing the open curve. It’ll help so I’ll try this!
Hope it helps, and please give us an update soon.
I saved this video... im going to be trying this... thank you for the video

Gold!!
I have seen other videos, but you are the best! Thanks a lot. 🌹🌺😊❤️
Well thank you for your kind words, and thanks for watching!
That side-leaning stretch on the foam roller looks like it caused a whole bunch of muscles to fire. That very last stretch blew my mind! I wonder where/how you learned it.
I love your videos! Thank you
My sister was born with scoliosis and spina bifida. (She was 11 months older than I)
When i was 42 (Im 50 yrs old now) I woke up one day and physically couldnt get out of bed. The pain was incredible. I Went to the doctors and was diagnosed with scoliosis and degenerative disc disease in my lumbar spine. I had fractured my L5 and S1 somehow.
Doctors wanted to perform anterior-posterior surgery on me.
The list of potential risks caused me to decline.
It was the first and only choice. I was never told of exercises or offered any pain management.
My fear is fracturing my vertebrae again.
Doctors said i have no disc in my entire lumbar spine, along with scoliosis.
I cannot convince myself that fusing my spine to be a smart choice.
Any safe suggestions for relief would be forever appreciated. Thank you so much. Peace and love 💜...Dawnmarie
