As a seventy year old 😁 I'm really glad I found your videos! They are explained in a clear way and really work. Thank you for all your hard work.
Happy to help!
I got diagnosed of a bulging disc L5 S1 on Friday. My physiotherapist advised to strengthen my core, glutes and back and keep on moving. My doctor advised to walk and swim. I was prescribed antiinflamatory medication for 5 days and 20 physiotherapy sessions. My pain comes and goes and it changes, sometimes it's just the back, others gets down the knee or the groin. Fingers crossed!!! Thank you for putting so much effort into making these videos and providing us with reliable information.
My pleasure! Good luck and hope it gets better soon!
I hope those pieces of advice helped - but for me they haven't been enough. First time I, too, got similar prescriptions and they work to prevent a new injury, but you want release short term, too - and I wonder what the 20 sessions gave?
I noticed that I must avoid compressing that spine and instead decompress it - stretch it out - if you have a rack, then that is useful, but you can use a sturdy door, too - open it and grab the high corner and drop your butt downwards and don't lift up your weight with your feet. Hang like that for a while and feel the release - beware when you sit and when you are lying down, so that the disc doesn't get to bulge more. Here in Sweden you don't get surgery for this condition, because that takes a long time to heal from, too. All the best, hope you are much recovered by now!

I have watched a number of your video and each time I find the information very helpful. I can certainly apply them onto my case. Thank you very much. You are a good teacher. 👍🙏
Your instructions are so clear and helpful to deal with this condition. You have a great ability to explain and simplify complex physical conditions and the methods to improve them. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for the kind words!

Good excersizes, thanks Will.
My pleasure!
I thank you in providing valuable information for us at our age to feel free of pain.
Much appreciated 👍

For the side movements should I only exercise the problem side or both? Thank you for all the great videos!
Thank you so much I saw you Videl I’ll do now, but the last one exerciser can I hold it in the wall my hands just the balance I like your explanation and exerciser to the God bless you the first I’m doing that. sick site. It’s my left the two first exerciser asking or both them.
Thank you for your videos! 🙂 One question, the last exercise with the chair, is it difficult/hard for the knees?
Thanks Dr
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you Brill this helped lower back glutes on first session 😂
Is it common to feel lower lateral leg aches from the clamp exercise when a patient with an L5 radiculopathy does them? A patient of mine got this. Thank you
Since I've started doing these exercises my bladder totally empties. On a night I go to the toilet a lot less now thank you very much. PS my sciatica is better too!
Hi Will, quick question regarding Sciatica. What would you recommend for someone with extension intolerant sciatica with no signs of stenosis? MRI was clear for stenosis but I do have a herniated L4-5 with thecal sac compression. Thanks
Tricky one, probably needs some customised advice. I do see it quite often in clinic and the prescription is different for everyone. Sorry I can't give more specifics!
Doctor Will Harlow ...thanks for the excercises to strengthen the butt muscles... incidentally I had a L5S1 in April 2019.
It was terrible with pain'was hospitalized..Traction heat therapy was tried for a week..no response..Then the surgery was advised... Micro Discectomy minimum invasive surgery for left side L5S1 rupture..post that I am doing my physiotherapy..go for regular walks ..do normal stretches standing.. Touchwood I am fine and post surgery I was fine in 6 weeks.. almost 4 years now precisely and I am fine but the fear of its recurring is there as I have a DDD...I take your advice from videos....great..I strictly follow the( BTL) rule that's no( Bending/Twisting/Lifting weight)... I also do the planks every day
Pleased to hear you are much better! Sounds like you are doing lots of the right things, good luck!
Excellent vids. Found this channel today after being diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my lower back. No leg pain only localised back pain that is affecting my mobility. Is there a way to get a PDF or Kindle version of the Thrive Beyond 50 book?
Thank you! There seemed to be some formatting issues with it on Amazon so I am getting these fixed before re-uploading!
@@HT-Physio ahh understood. I would love to get the ebook version so would be on the lookout. Keep up the excellent job!
This video is super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
I’m doing step ups with pair of 20kg dumbbells in two hands it’s okay to do that I have herniated disc
You are the best
Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much Will!
My pleasure!
I have a question...I have difficulty putting on my socks and I suspect trying to slip the resistance band over my knees will cause the same pain. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much, I love all your videos.
Ah yes, this is quite common, sorry to hear that. Some of my clients get a long length of band and hold it around the knees rather than tying it. Other than that, we often just recommend avoiding the band ones. Hope that helps!
@@HT-Physio yes, thanks so much, Will!
Where do you get these bands
When you say it's safe for the bulging disc, i assume it's safe for the herniated disc too, right? Thanks for the video
For most cases, it would be safe for herniated discs too but worth checking with your healthcare professional first.
I am just 18 and i am suffering from disc prolapse 😭what should i do .....its too soon for sugery also i dont know what to do
How many exercise of these is should do in one session?
Varies from person to person, I usually only give out 1 or 2 to my patients.
Ive been doing cobra 8 sets for 3 repetition
And cat and cow 8 counts morning and night
Ive been having sciatica for 2 months now :
I wish I found this RUclips channel 7 months ago when my sciatica started 😔
Sorry to hear you've suffered so long!
