I was a 82yr old woman who was in exceptional good health until 5 months ago and fractured my pelvis. mid way thru the 4th month I concluded most of the damage had healed but I was in such pain from the sciatic nerve and trying different exercises to relieve the pain, it seemed that pain was getting worse, I decided I might need medical intervention, but God being Good led me to your web sight. The one I watched first was for the left leg which is my bad leg, by the end of the day I could feel a difference, then I went on to the flossing, even more relief. The most important one was the 5 exercises I should not do, of course they were the one's I had been doing, no wonder my pain was getting worse. I have ordered your book and intent to share it with others. GOD BLESS you young man you have saved my life
I'm so sorry to hear about your fractured pelvis and the pain you experienced. What a joy it is to hear about the relief that my videos have helped to prompt. Thank you so much for purchasing my book, I hope you find it most valuable. I'm wishing you all the very best going forward 😃
This is the best explanation I’ve heard for how and why flossing works.
I was in PT therapy for 3 months for bulging disc/sciatica. Would leave feeling worse than when i came in. PT doctor pushed me to pain. Started following Dr Will. Finally started progressing. Having pain in therapy is not the answer. Now i do PT with his videos. Thank you Dr for helping me finally get relief. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I am so pleased my work has been able to offer such a remarkable relief and improvement for you - keep up the great work and I hope your progress continues :)
Yoga teacher. Had grim sciatica. Couldn’t walk 100m. Needed a stick. Did this exercise everyday. Pain vanished in 3 weeks.
Yes thank you.
Your exercises are very effective 🎉
This exercise has certainly been of great benefit. Thanks!
Very helpful. Thanks ❤
Clear and concise, thank you.
Excellent video! Very helpful. Greetings from America.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like this; I felt nothing, but it was peaceful and seemed to calm the leg. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Had a knee replacement since have sciatic symptoms! This seemed to help
Good thing you got a mic now!
Thank you, I always learn and and enjoy your lessons. Many of your movement patterns remind me of Pandiculation something I love and learned through a Thomas Hanna training . Question, are you allow the spine and pelvis to respond while head and leg are moving? For me it feels natural to do this. Thanks again! Dar
Can u do another version plz. The one done by lying down on the floor plz
Hi
Do you have a method for Meralgia paresthetica exercise I have been suffering for over 2 years now. Please could you help. Thank you.
Need more for i m suffering so much
Mine is in the left buttock piriformis and goes down the outside of the left leg to the ankle. Had it for 6 weeks now and is very painful first thing in the morning and when bending down. Some of the physio exercises made it worse.
We have the same symptoms, I had MRI and the result was bulge disc L4-L5 AND S1.
I did also some physio exercises before the MRI and as what you had said, it worsen the pain.
Exactly the same...Periformus pain is worse...won't allow me to sit even for 2 min. I did pPT for 15 days now. It has improved, but the progress is so v slow.
@@katagalogan Yes, my physio said he thought the problem was coming from my back so I’m seeing him again to see if I can strengthen my spine somehow. I want to avoid any future surgery! I wish you all the best with yours.
Can we do this exercise with bulging disc accompanies with schiatica like leg pain?
If you have a slipped disk, then that will work, but if you have spinal stenosis, sending back like that will not help, it will only hurt it more.

if we can’t stretch the hamstring while have sciatica, can we massage the hamstring instead
?❤❤
Getting an appointment in UK with doctor is difficult so similar problem to American friend.
Hi Will, I recently sent youan email about a condition my son has called ankylosing spondylitis, I believe it is a form of sciatica and also arthritis. He gets flare up from time to time and sometimes he finds it difficult to walk. He is being treated for it, but I would like to find something more natural for him he is in his 40's. Will this exercise help him or can you suggest other videos you do.
Hi, can a 26 Week pregnant woman do this?? I have been experiencing sciatica for a week now
This contradicts one of your other videos which talks about avoiding the seated hamstring stretch. This is the same, no?
I know you want us to ask our doctor if this or that works; however, doctors here in America are not interested in what works best for the patient, they are interested in their specialty only. Actually, they resent questions and denigrate our efforts to find answers for ourselves. In essence, they want to "take care" of you, they do not want us to take care of ourselves.
Sorry to hear about the troubles in getting help, it can sometimes be the same here too.
@@HT-Physio I feel the same way, unfortunately the medical profession is not about healing, but about money - i.e. surgery and pharmaceuticals. (I think you have to say consult your doctor as a disclaimer). I see that you are genuinely a person who wants to help people and I really applaud and respect you for that. I've been doing a variety of your exercises and they have been a big help to me. I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work.
Find a good physiotherapist. Mine in Wrexham did an initial assessment and then gave me 3 stretching routines to do at home, in between follow up appointments every 3 weeks. One of these was the flossing routine outlined by this cracking video. Fantastic channel. Subscribed.
In the US Doctors are mostly interested by giving drugs! Pharmaceutical power is strong and accepted
Thanks..I would like to see how is the foot when it is down: flex or not fex? Because i Don t sée on the vidéo. Thank you
