Cheers and thank you. I used to have severe pain down the back of my leg and lower back, attributed to sciatica. I noticed that it became chronic when I was over a certain weight. I was able to drop below that certain number on the scale and and no more pain. I still pay attention to tips for managing sciatica even though I haven't been troubled by it for a decade or so.
Thank you very much for this video I am dealing with two herniated discs that's radiating down my buttocks it seems like heat relaxes my back but I don't know if it's good for the inflammation so I do ice also ice seems to numb the pain
Another superb well presented informative video, iv learned so much from all your videos, i only wished i could shake your hand and buy you a couple of drinks Will, because of your seniors sciatica video exercises I’m enjoying a pain free life, all my relatives and friends can’t believe I’m cured after 9 agonising weeks, I tell them all it’s down to one guy, always in your debt Will! Best wishes from the West Midlands!
Ice around the lumbar ( works wonders on all other parts of the body when injured ! ) during a sciatica episode knocked me out for 3 weeks, nerve pathways seem to hate it.... Gran used to tell me when I was a little boy,,: "Don't sit on concrete or your back will catch a cold.. " How true!
If you check comments, I am over 70 years old and have two problems. Please point me to your videos that will help me strengthen my muscles. And a second video that will help me maintain better balance when walking or jogging. Very grateful for your video that helped me reduce the swelling around my lower legs and ankles.
I am not a health professional, but I believe tai chi is an excellent and gentle method to work on balance and stability. For muscle strength, it is difficult to maintain if you have a lot of illness or injuries. If not, you should probably gradually build a routine addressing different muscle groups. Don't overdo it. Get good nutrition and sleep. I hope more people offer you suggestions. You might also like Silver Fox Fitness channel.
Hello dear if you type hit physio over 50 muscle building it will direct you to that video and if you type hit physio over 50 balance exercise it will show you that video. Just search on RUclips whichever video you want to watch. Hope it helps.
Hi there! Please see the following videos on my channel for support with walking balance - ruclips.net/video/BydzrtzJ2LI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/K8Dq-Ec6utI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/rYWccdDuPxM/видео.html
The only person I’ve found that says Heat and Ice! I was injured at work 6 months ago and have been in pain ever since. Two bulging discs and torn hamstring.. the combo of ice and heat has saved me! Thanks Brotha!
Hello Will, My back is sore after long duration exercise. I believe it to be inflammation from exercise. In my case, is ice best for my situation? I do feel better after doing that.
When my sciatica in my back flares up, I can not move, whatsoever. The pain is excruciating. For me, Ice on the lower back is the ONLY way. I have to numb it for about a day (or two), and then I can move it little by little. Then some pressure with a tennis ball on the floor. Heat is horrible. It just makes it worse. And for me, massage is horrible. I think that's what gives me the flare ups to begin with.
Hi ive been suffering from sciatica leg pain for 13 months. I attend pilates and visit a physiotherapist, recently tried acupuncture which showed some benefit. Thanks for your great videos, ive been applying ice to my leg but will also start using heat on my lower back as you suggested in this video.
I got my disc slip 2 years ago and nothing literally helped until and unless you continuously exercise everyday and try to loosen your tight hips moreover the general rule that helped me is minimising sitting as much as you can
@@emolicadeel4073 Thanks, I actually do exercises everyday. I have noticed that sitting down makes things worse, however, I find that a short nap helps.

Thank you very much for this video I am dealing with two herniated discs that's radiating down my buttocks it seems like heat relaxes my back but I don't know if it's good for the inflammation so I do ice also ice seems to numb the pain
In my experience a good ice pack wrapped to lower back is good for immediate relief.

recent injury with pain in back and foot/ankle numbness (no pain going down legs but some weakness) . would I ice feet or heat?
Wow! as if you have heard me :) I was trying to find a proper explanation about it. Very helpful! Thanks!
Happy to help!
When it’s sunny and hot ☀️ my sciatica goes away right away.
Ice around the lumbar ( works wonders on all other parts of the body when injured ! ) during a sciatica episode knocked me out for 3 weeks, nerve pathways seem to hate it....
Gran used to tell me when I was a little boy,,: "Don't sit on concrete or your back will catch a cold.. " How true!
My dad always always big about not being on the concrete. In our shop if we were working on stuff.
I walked in the hot concrete barefoot today maybe that’s what did it

Thank you Will . Your videos are very helpful. I have been trying to find some help for my sciatica and back pain. I will try your advice .
A slim plastic freezer block works very well for me combatting sciatic pain.
How long should we apply the heat to our bum cheeks
Thank you Will. This information is so helpful. 😊
You're very welcome
😊
It’s no longer a hypothesis for me now. The heat option is pretty much it for me. Ice causes tightness for me. Wealth of information here.
Very useful. Thanks 🙏
You're welcome
If you just exercised and need to reduce inflammation, can we do ice and then alternate with hot?
Thank you very much
You're very welcome
I really do enjoy these videos, very well presented and explained methods.
Thank you so much!

My sciatica increases when im out cold for long time
Thank you for your advice and amazing precise information regarding application of ice or heat for sciatica treatment
You're very welcome
I just noticed that when I have cold water my pain is less
Wheatbags are heaven! Can't live without them ! 😊
Thanks you for sharing
You're welcome

With ice, you'd think it only takes away the pain / symptom, but it eventually fixes the problem 100%.
🙏🏽 for us all.
Thank you
Great advice, Will, thank you 😊

You're welcome!

Welcome!
I have lumbago. My chiropractor once made me put ice on my left bollocks, repeatedly for 5 days.
Why?
Could you advise on how long we should keep the ice pack or heat on the area please for example: 20 minutes 3 times a day ?
