I have been living with lower back pain for years, thank you Dr. Kristie, this helps so much!

Precisely the treatment plan I’m currently working on with my PT. I’m already doing some form of these stretches already. It’s an ongoing process for sure. Thanks for the muscle diagrams. It really helped me to understand how tight muscles can pull down on the lower spine and cause my nerve irritation.

Great sequence of stretches, thank you 🙏!

Perfect explanation and detailed! thank you, will start this today.

The pelvic tuck by flattening the curve in the back! You successfully mention this unlike many other videos and why this stretch never worked for me until I watched this and tried the stretch with that slight modification. Many thanks.

So happy to have found you! I have had to stop working out for the past 2 weeks because of hip and lower back pain. Just did this one once and I'm seeing immediate results. Thank you!

Excellent video! Thank you for your knowledge and explanations. Great help do these!

Awesome, thank you so very much 💪❤

As a fellow doctor I have to say you have an amazing Thaler for conveying your knowledge in an easy to understand accurate way. I have been doing a lot of your back routines to help sooth my back and piriformis issues due to my overzealous workouts. They all have been helping so much that I feel essentially normal. Can’t thank you enough. I hope you and your family are all happy and in good health💛

Worked like a charm! Thank you for this video Dr! What a great, free fix when these muscles are tight ❤

Gracias mil Dra me encanta su conociemiento y capacidad de transmitirlo

Oh my goodness thank you!!

Excellent

As someone who is extremely active, but always in pain and discomfort in my groin, hips and lower back, I'm pretty sure that this video is for me. I'm going to start doing it daily and see how it goes. Thank you :)

Kneeling hip flexor stretch worked great for me!

Good afternoon Dr. Ennis i followed your sample routine and i enjoyed it very iam 85 years old and it was so easy to follow like to join but not possible at the present time maybe in the future my best wishes for you and your family.

you are amazing!!!!!!!

I had piriformis syndrome a few years back and went to a chiropractor with a PT and massage. It took several months to be better. I have to watch it when my piriformis starts to feel tight. I'll add these exercises. Since then I've had lower back problems which I think are from tight hip flexors. I'll try your stretches too. I need to get the edge tool, I've been thinking about it for awhile.

Thank you Dr. Kristie ! Brilliant set of work for any trail runner.

I came across your videos about a month agoI've been dealing pain in the area you've described until the last few days. Unfortunately, I've gained to much weight to cross my leg over the leg but, I was tired of the pain and it was only getting worse. So with a little creativity, instead of laying on my back, I brought the leg out to the side with knee bent on the side that hurt. Then while keeping the other leg extended, I rolled over onto the bent leg. The streatch I was able to get actually allowed me to start walking again without the compulsory limp and almost "0" pain. Thankyou for helping. 😌

Yess i have back pain 😔 thank you sooo much 💕💕

you are golden😊

❤❤❤ thank you

I bought one,no probs.Thank you ,Dr.Kristie.

I've done daily hip stretches for ages and my hip/piriformis pain remains. I read that stretches are more of a sticking plaster option and to actually eliminate the pain you have to do strengthening exercises for the target area.

Thank you for your expertise. Full hip replacement left. I don't know where to stop could dislocate. So I do litte on the same side. How do know where limit is? 😊

Doutora Kristie, você é uma profissional Competentíssima 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

those are the same muscles I have been working on for years, and you just explained it all for me. You are spot on Doctor.

I will try it in the morning. Love to watch❤

For years, I tried every stretching routine and regular adjustments until I was fed up with no improvement. I got a 2nd opinion from another chiropractor who specializes in sports injury rehab, and after a thorough exam it was revealed my L4 was bulging. I started the rehab immediately, and after three weeks I was experiencing massive improvement. I recommend the same to anyone who's tried various stretching and strengthening exercises with no improvement.

Thank you Dr I enjoy your video I have 2 belge disc in the 4 &5 vertebra of my back Some doctors and physiotherapists say that the recent movement you did will damage the sciatic nerve Is it right or not ?

Hi Dr Ennis...I am such a fan of your channel!! thanks! I have a question if u have time to answer..I have had a vertical C- section many years ago..Is there hope for me have tight abs? I don't expect a six pack but would like a flatter gut. I do workout and am not heavy but being the c- section was a vertical cut its seems impossible.

Good

I need to work on these stretches. I’ve been noticing every time, I’m getting out of a chair or long drive, I can’t stand up straight. Thank you.

My hips hv pain a.lot and stops me in my tracks hurts so bad I'll try this..thxs❤

Thank you Doctor! Good workout! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gluteus medius that’s where my back always hurts. Are there any of these I can do without kneeling on my knees ? Thanks Dr K 😊

At 53 now (5'10 x 190 lbs) and after a life of sports abruptly interrupted when I became father of two lovely kids 9 years ago, this really is invaluable stuff!!!! Thank you Doctor.

Thanks

Currently dealing with this exact issue, however, I’m using a lacrosse ball and softball to try release the muscles… it’s not working so great. Gotta get me a DermaEdge.

As a hockey player with a desk job, I ALWAYS have a tight lower back. I'd never seen the glute medeus stuff, will be sure to try that.

Dr. Ennis, would you treat a synovial cyst differently than other low back pain? I have a cyst at L4-L5 and I have had aspiration done and a steroid injection. Prior to surgery I'd like to exhaust all my options. Is there a specific regimen? I'm currently reading about the Mckenzie method. Thank you!

I need video about that please

Hello, Dr. Ennis, I have seen there are several videos you have posted regarding hip issues, but I haven't seen one for what has just happened with one of my hips. I apologize for the long message ahead of time, but a lot has happened over the past week. I came the long way around to being referred to an orthopedic doctor for my right hip. Just over a week ago, (Friday, July 7, 2023), I had severe enough pain in my right lower back (I believe it's called the right flank?) that I could not drive, and my wife drove me to the ER. A little about myself; 60 years old, very fit, 5' 9", 160lbs, 123 / 66 blood pressure, resting heart rate 54 to 56 bpm, on no medications for any medical conditions and just passed my annual physical with flying colors 2 DAYS before this incident! The ER staff seemed pretty sure what I was experiencing was kidney stones, although I was skeptical, because 2 to 3 weeks prior to this I had ultrasounds of my bladder and kidneys come back perfectly normal. After a CT scan on my abdomen and pelvis, all organs were normal, including kidneys with no kidney stones present. The scan did show diverticula on my colon, but with no evidence of diverticulitis. ER doctor told me I have diverticulosis, would have to eat more fibre, and do not lift heavy weights to the point of straining. All panicked, my wife and I researched all of the things I should have over 3 or 4 days that wasn't solid food. Bone broth, aloe vera juice and fruits and vegetables/greens whipped up in a magic bullet to be able to drink (think consistency of apple sauce). One week later (yesterday, Friday, July 14th) I still had sharp pain in my lower right flank, with no other symptoms of what the doctor told me I had. Everything we researched about diverticulosis and diverticulitis did not point to what was going on with my pain. The only thing that matched was me being 60 years old. I went to an Urgent Care that has a doctor with previous ER experience, so I thought I would get a good second opinion. The Urgent Care doctor totally agrees that the evidence of diverticula on my colon has nothing to do with the pain in my lower back. As there IS NO PAIN with diverticulosis, it is only discovered during a colonoscopy or a CT scan like I had done. This doctor told me the problem is in my hip! He referred me to an orthopedic practice, and told me they would do a scan or x-ray of the area to determine what was going on with my hip and / or back on the right side. I realize I cannot get medical advice from a comment section on a video on KZfaq, but I am wondering if you have heard of something similar, a lower right back (flank) sharp pain with no other symptoms. The last two days, it has been very painful in the morning, but as the day progresses, it starts to go away, and by mid-afternoon, I don't really notice it. But it has been a week, and the pain is always there in some form or another. Thank you for any advice or opinion on what it could be and what course of action I could take to verify what the issue is. Have a great rest of your weekend! Marc

Thank you for this video. It confirmed what I thought. I started feeling a pain in my lower back and the front of my hip but I knew it started hurting when I was sitting on a couch. SIT HAPPENS!!!

Great video! I knew exactly where you were applying pressure as you were doing the routine - every one is an existing tender spot for me. I never thought to massage as I do these exercises.

Good video. I do some of these and am anxious to try the others and some of your add details. Also, I know what you were saying about laughing instead of saying what you actually want to say so you don’t get demonitized. 😂

What is the line in between the legs called?

So after hip replacement your leg is shot what do you do?

Hi Dr. Thanks for the stretching exercises. I do a lot of Cycling, so, I have heard different theories on this, but wanted to get your take on it. When is the best time to do this stretching exercises? Before I go for a bicycle ride or after? Thanks!

according to my X ray , doctor said , the space between l4 and L5 is narrow.. i have a pain for a long time, so which exercise i have to do.

My back hurts since I walk big dogs. I need these stretches. Thank you beautiful Dr. Ennis❤

Hi Dr And posterior oblique latisimus dorsi weaknes or Thight deep fascia or covering all tisue now there is a new tecnique to open all nerves and bloods pls can you palpete your latismus dorsi inferior scapula over the part of t8 7 6 .....

Got hyperlordosis,not fixing ,is there any solution?

So if I start cramping in that second position, is it ok to that area cramp even tho it’s uncomfortable but I like stretch!

I was paralyzed for 10 days with a spinal cord injury a long time ago. I have upper motor neuron damage which resulted in heighten reflexes more prominent on the left side. There is a hip reflex that I have observed over the years, and a tight waistband can make your back hurt with a dull pain. The waistband of your shorts are digging into the area of your hip that may be invoking this reflex.

The hoof! (In my Jimmy Conway voice)

sit happens 🤣 the first glute Medius release worked wonders for me...great vid , thanks Doc

i feel better already and i havnt even done any of the stretches lol.

Do men have different muscle structure? Because I feel no muscles at top of hip or lower outside edge for your first stretch. I do have a small paunch!

I am 60. I was diagnosed with a transverse process in my lower back. It seems to be constant pain anymore. The doctor said it has scar tissue in it and that's way it will not heal. I do stretch every day and setups daily. I am going to start doing you program. I hope it works for me.

I want to order this device!!

For a person who has scoliosis who sometimes has back pain what is the blue card supposed to do to help me?

Hi Doc, having annoyed my back last Friday I've been smashing paracetamol & ibuprofen like popcorn! (Sensibly) However, I've just done best I can these brilliant stretches and I feel a shed load better for it. Thank you. QL next 😅

🩷☮️👑🙏🏾thank u for the content

I do the same exercises everyday, It helps pelvic rotation , and flex.

Such great advise from such a good shape looking professional woman. Thank you I enjoy watching you.

I had a herniated disc (with the sciatica as a bonus) about 3 years ago, got rid of the issue in about 2.5 months thanks to the McKenzie technique I discovered. with that I had some numbness on both legs, the right leg was worse than the left, the numbness did become a little better but never completely left, Will it ever leave me?

? Is this the muscle area that we use when driving?

Dr., you gotta fix that link to the DermaEdge device you’re using, b/c it links to some other weird website. Love your videos. Thank you!

I have these back issues and I can't move 😢

whats the purpose of the tool

I always get pain in my antior hip for days if I try to stretch hip flexors

My patient obsessed over this and now in more pain. Maybe pain isn’t from tight muscles but rather pain cause tight muscles?

2 ?s One why this demaedge? what is it doing, what is it competition? 2 Where is a coupon code? While it sounds interesting $80 doesn't grow on trees for such a small thing,

I forgot this was a health lesson.

Applying pressure with a hard pointy object in my inexperienced hands. Big nope.

Wow Dr. Kristie you are one very stunning and fit ladie. Thong or G.string?

Uuuuulalalla doctor you still fresh lady, I like your body shape proving that you doing much sport & workouts

Luckily there is a 2x speed.

Sit happens ha!

Modern day lower back pain is caused by really bad posture ie if your quads go to the top of your pelvis instead of your hip, your lower abs will disappear and your back will feel like it's in a vice.

Might wanna actually introduce the edge thing FIRST rather than surprise the viewer with a little piece of plastic no one has mid excersize.

Off topic but i love youre tan
