1)exercising: extention movements make the pain better for alot of cases. same goes for rotation movements 2) slouching while sitting is bad. if you sit you can use a rolled towel for lumbar support 3) be aware of your standing posture 4)if a movement hurts, change your posture 5) go for some walks, on an even surface
Your exercises really saved my back, at first I thought these were just old people exercises but now I do them every day and it's made a huge difference.
I am an OT in Manchester UK. I cannot thankyou enough. My back ache is much better since I started doing the extension exercise. You both are doing a fantastic job
After I had spine surgery, my hips started to give problems, but since I started with you your exercises, it's getting better and even my back is getting stronger. Thanks a million. I'm even recommending you to people.
I could barely walk after an injury. I lost weight & learned to stretch , exercise & protect my back. Ta-da! I could move again. I also keep a small pillow in my bag & in my car. People are jealous when they see me take it out to sit in restaurants lol. Ty for all ur great info.
I’m 57 and you guys saved me about five years ago but here I am again with lower back problems. Should have kept your exercise routine going and I bet you’ve heard that before, love you guys 😊
I have had a l5 s1 spinal fusion and have serious pain in my sciatica sacaroil joint .....it been 5 years and still havnt ran into a good back doctor like these guys .....would love to see them in real life and have them diagnos my pain ...it is insane how consistent the pain is
Have you had a whole body bone scan? Once I did I was diagnosed with AS Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease or bamboo spine. I have had 3 surgeries since 2016 with my latest 5 months ago. Seeing an orthopedic doctor imo was better than my neurologist. Knowing has helped me to realize how much pain I have been going through is due to the AS. Now to find a pain specialist as my general doctor no longer helps in that area 😞😓
Not many channels would made me do this...just found yours today, immediately I knew, it's gonna add a loads of value to my life, and without a second thought smashed that red button. Great content..you guys got a new regular follower. thanks so much for the contents. 🙏
THANK YOU!! I’ve been struggling with my lower back now for two months. The last 3 weeks seeing my Chiro weekly along with acupuncture. I started using these today. What a huge difference. It moved the pain from my hip to barely next to my spine! When the cramping returned this evening I did them again. Guys YOU ROCK!!!
Bob and Brad your videos are great. I mean, i know this but sometimes a reminder is needed even for those who are sure that they know this. In my case I’m a female of African heritage, 50. Ive neglected a lot of core exercises in this Covid time but doing a lot of cardio. Literally 5 days ago I experienced this lower back pain for the first time in my life. I wasn’t even sure it was my back. Ive noticed when the pain is bad, and when it’s better. Back extensions are great for this. Thanks for the reminder 👍🏾
I bent down to pick up something and it seemed Ike my lower back clicked. And it was painful. I searched thru your videos and found the perfect one. Thank you Brad and Bob.
you just helped me with really bad back pain that I've had for 2 days. Went for a short walk, but had to come home due to sharp pain. Did some stationary biking which helped. Now with the exercises you just explained I'm feeling so much better. Thanks once again. You've fixed my neck problem and hip problems in the past. 🥰 Thank you!!
Y'all are the best. I've worked in the oil field, throwing watermelons, carpentry. You name it I probably did it for a little bit. I'll be 30 in a few months and I can feel the wear and tear I've put my body through. I'm going to say y'all are the best physical therapists. From fixing my sciatica to helping with the chronic stenosis in my back. The finger and wrist exercises as an artist those help me a lot. So from the bottom of my heart even if it is broke. You both will always have my love and appreciation.
I used to use the Roman bench at the gym it helped strengthening but no longer going so I do back crunches I call them. Any pain I've had always alleviated with strengthening. With dumbbells and elastic bands I can do a lot at home during covid. A ab roller sitting around collecting dust now used almost daily. Beats cabin fever too.
Can't fix a broken heart? I've been having lower back pains now that I'm 60. Although I look like I'm in my 30s, I definitely walk like I'm 75 with bad posture. This video saved me! Also your other video regarding lower back pain started me off on proper lifting, bending, and sleeping.
Just want to say thank you! I’m on my second bout of terrible lower back spasms. Not sure how it happened...felt fine most of the day. Got groceries earlier ( may have caused it) then drove home. Got out of my car & Voila! I could hardly walk.Seemed to get worse as I bent over, like a bad strain. So hoping these stretches will help!
All their exercises & stretches help & are very sensible solutions!! I would seriously suggest placing a soft cylinder shaped pillow (rolled up towel or large stuffed up sock works great - How thick will depend on your comfort level) under the arch of your lower back when laying on it (ESPecially if you're heavy or overweight, but suggested for all).
i got covid and instantly got lower back pain and into my lower legs slightly. came out of nowhere pain was unbearable but ive watch a few of these videos and did the stetchs especially the one that says fix the pain in 90 seconds in 2 stretch's and got almost instant relief. heres hoping the back pain stays at bay but will continue these exercises a few times a day
thanks, i bought a pillow for driving to help with lumbar support...duh didn't thinkabout bringing it inside when I sit on other things You made me think of it and ahhhhhh.... it does feel good.
I use a small sponge rubber football for my lower back when siting in a chair. Works great. They make them from soft to pretty hard. 1 buck at the Dollar store.
Fantastic information, thanks! I find it embarrassing when in public that I need to bend over forward (rather than backward) to relieve my lower back pain. I wonder why that is, that I need to lean forward? Lying on back, knees to chest is my best exercise out of the above.
Thanks as always for your therapeutic advice guys. The majority of these exercises form part of my exercise routine which help ease chronic pain from severe Kyphosis. I had Sciatica about 20 years ago and I’m certain the side knee bending exercises are one of the exercises that help prevent the pain from returning, experiencing more middle back pain due to the curvature of my spine and pinched nerve feelings, even when sat up/ stood up straight. Lumbar cushions have always helped aid my posture when seated, but now realise larger memory foam cushions to support the whole of my spine help more at my with my specific condition.
Thank you for the tips Sir Bob and Brad. You explain very well on these topics. I already went to physical therapy before, but I learned new and effective ideas from both of you. Thank you once again, and more power !
Just what I needed. I've had terrible low back pain when I don't do these exercises regularly. I want to throw in a shout-out to the many online group-classes that incorporate these exercises. If you, like me, have a hard time sticking with a solo exercise regime, try some classes. Now to find out what Bob and Brad recommend for knee pain...
Twice I hurt my back for carrying a 5 gals bucket in the garden within 6 months and on top of that hurt my back again after trying to calm down the two fighting dogs in my compound, all totalling within one year. Now after my last fall, I still have my lower back excruciatingly painful and persistently. I am told I also have osteoporosis.
I'm 82 and are afraid of getting a rounded hump my back. I lay on a carpeted floor and after a minute or two with my arms out to my sides and knees down flat for ten minutes. Is there anything bad about this? Love your show,
I do all of these plus more everyday. Heat before and ice afterward as well. I’ll be fine for months and then all of a sudden I wake up and I can’t move. Pain is off the charts right now but every doctor I see says I’m young and surgery isn’t necessary. Herniated disc at at 28, now 38 and not feeling very hopeful
Bob and Brad the first thing these people MUST do if they are experiencing back pain is to go see there primary care physician and get an MRI ASAP! 🙍🏽♀️SMH
Hi Bob & Brad, your Lower Back & Hip Pain Video really got to me. I walk with a Walker (Nova Rollator), because of back, hip, groin, leg pains. I’ve been stuck elevating my legs because of Edema since 09/2021. I’ve been sleeping on my back with both legs in elevated position to prevent swelling. Am I going too far with this Leg Elevation while sleeping? Because my back and hip pains are worse now. Please advise; thanks! LS from San Jose, CA
Of course I have something known as sway back. I just forget I stand with that and my posture is bad. Sometimes I stand against a wall to get myself to stand up straight. I can tell the difference when I make myself stand up straight and when I relax, there goes the sway back.
I saw an advert right before this Video and the two exercise moves that they said not to do rather lying down rolling back and forward and rotating legs from side to side
My mom is 93 and bent over quite a bit... Is it possible for the spine to straighten at this point, and it does curve at the hips. We are working on the abs some. Thank You ❤️
Another great vid! I went to see a chiropractor after a mri I took of my spine he did like 5 different things & Chiropractor really r super helpful. I tried a heat lamp & I actually got tears in my eyes it was crazy I was like wtf is happening? It was pain relief
I’ve always spent a lot of time sitting cross legged on the floor doing crafts or work etc. I’m now having hip and lower back pain. Is there a better way to sit on the floor? I’ve found that sitting on one foot also hurts now. I’m 59….are my floor days over?
Good morning Bob & Brad I like to do these stretches before & definitely after working out with additional moves. One of my fav. is laying flat on the floor bring both knees closed towards my chest holding my legs near the knees area & rocking gently from side to side. Aww.. free back massages it feels sooo... good sometimes I don't want to stop. Lol😂 Thank you guys for sharing.👍 Be Safe Everyone🌎😷
Hi iv had two hip replacements back and hips hurt a lot i can not lift my knees like you demonstreat im 82 and have to rely on pain killers that dont work ,what can i try please thank you ,
@ 6:00 line up your heal with the IT bone/sit bone, knee is lined up w center of clavicle .. and other knee is active point toward sky and not flare to the side. center of clavicle knee & heel all are in one line.
Hi Bob and Brad. After experiencing lower back pain for a few months I had an x-ray that showed (according to the specialist) loss of disc space in L5S1 with some sclerosis. Can you do a video with a remedy?
I'm writing from Bangalore, you are actually super souls impacting so so many people around the 🌐 globe. Bro, my sincerest and genuine request is, that u show exercises for the entire legs. I'm in need coz my thighs ache
Thanks I'm looking at a towel and sitting in my work truck but the lombar support is too high on my seat so I'm trying the rolled up towel .thanks you guys.but what if I feel a little bit of grinding when I do those extracise's bob was doing lying down?
1)exercising: extention movements make the pain better for alot of cases. same goes for rotation movements
2) slouching while sitting is bad. if you sit you can use a rolled towel for lumbar support

I am an OT in Manchester UK. I cannot thankyou enough. My back ache is much better since I started doing the extension exercise. You both are doing a fantastic job
Great exercises!!!! Find the cause of the pain and stop it!!! Exercise everyday(stretches) and be patient!!!!
Long live Bod and Brad ...your exercises saved my back ..May God bless u abundantly
After I had spine surgery, my hips started to give problems, but since I started with you your exercises, it's getting better and even my back is getting stronger. Thanks a million. I'm even recommending you to people.
I’m sooooo thankful to have found your channel. Between my back and knees, this 54 year old gal is so thankful to have found your helpful channel 😁
Thank you so much Bob and Brad I did all these exercises that made me relief from terrible pain.
I could barely walk after an injury. I lost weight & learned to stretch , exercise & protect my back. Ta-da! I could move again. I also keep a small pillow in my bag & in my car. People are jealous when they see me take it out to sit in restaurants lol. Ty for all ur great info.
I’m 57 and you guys saved me about five years ago but here I am again with lower back problems. Should have kept your exercise routine going and I bet you’ve heard that before, love you guys 😊

Bob and Brad your videos are great. I mean, i know this but sometimes a reminder is needed even for those who are sure that they know this. In my case I’m a female of African heritage, 50. Ive neglected a lot of core exercises in this Covid time but doing a lot of cardio. Literally 5 days ago I experienced this lower back pain for the first time in my life. I wasn’t even sure it was my back. Ive noticed when the pain is bad, and when it’s better. Back extensions are great for this. Thanks for the reminder 👍🏾

Just wanted to say that. Just listening to their optimism makes it better, about that cardboard... hilarious, every time
True
Hahahaha! Love it!!

Super tip with how far you bend your knees as to how far up or down the spine rotation helps
Hooray for you guys!

I alway thought extending backwards was bad. Wow does that feel good. I even feel that urge to do it when standing up. Thanks guys.

Bob reminds me of the famous "Jack Lalane" in a good way. I was a small child that watched him.
I use a small sponge rubber football for my lower back when siting in a chair. Works great. They make them from soft to pretty hard. 1 buck at the Dollar store.
Great idea! Thanks.
