Hey guys. I just wanted to say thanks. About a month ago I dropped a comment asking you guys to do a video on posterior pelvic tilt and you did a couple days later. I'm glad to say that the exercise you recommended along with glute bridges got my hips back to normal in about 2 weeks. Thanks again.

Right on!! These exercises have helped me dramatically in just a couple sets!!! Tremendous!!! Seriously! I watched a half dozen videos on this but you guys are always my favorite!

@user-pn4uj5vf6g Жыл бұрын

No kidding. Just give it a try. On the first set I couldn't even touch the walls with my hip and on the 2nd set I touched it. On the 3rd set I felt such a relief. 3 sets of 15sec per set seemed to be working for me. Can't wait to wake up tomorrow and check if it stayed like that of if I need to repeat it a couple of days. In any case -THANK YOU.

Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos! I am currently taking a medicine that causes me immense pain in my entire spine and rib cage, particularly in the region where my rib cage is attached to the spine. I am unable to jump, run or turn my back in any way without it causing pain. So I wonder if there are any excercises that I can do in order to strengthen my back? I really want to be able to run again since I am used to being very active, prior to taking this medicine. Thank you very much for your videos, I am happy to see educated professionals helping people on the internet. Take care!

I’ve had this problem often and the only way is to ‘lengthen and strengthen’ the lower back by whatever means available and suitable for you . However , anecdotally, in case you are in severe spasm can try to rub a good arthritis relief oil or any anti spasmodic oil and have a high dose of vitamin c over the course of a day , like 8 to 10 gm. This is purely based on my experience and may not be supported medically but it has really worked and got me out of spasms . Perhaps it’s the anti inflammatory properties of the vitamin c because ultimately a spasm is due to some inflammation.

@jackcarlos Жыл бұрын

This is fine if you're not mid-spasm/thrown out back episode. Leaning into the pain is excruciating, hence why your body is crooked... Over time your muscles will loosen and get back to normal. Time, massage, and gingerly walking are the only things I found that help

Is the side with the higher shoulder the side you lean against the wall?

@jorykevinberger7047 4 жыл бұрын

Probably not, because if you’re leaning left odds are your right shoulder is sitting higher. The example in the video of raising the shoulder is simply to move the arm on the wall out of the way of the hip as you lean into the wall. Summary: if you look tilted to your left. Lean on your left wall.

Hey guys I've have been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I am 56 and also have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in left hip and knees. I've always lifted weights but this past 2 or 3 years have geared my exercises down to bodyweight and just 20# dumbbells. I only take a turmeric supplement and etc pain reliever if it gets too unbearable. I work as Delivery driver and I have to lift heavy auto body parts at times and also have to climb in and out of my van (which is a high step up) about 15-20 times every day. I can't sleep because an upper back/chest/shoulder pain when sleeping on right side and stomach. Can't sleep left side because hip pain. Any suggestions? I am sorry for long comment.

@SparkleToes04 3 жыл бұрын

I am finding doing this exercise does not increase my sciatica, but it does add a little bit of a pinching sensation on the side of the pain. I have repeated this exercise many times and still lean a little crooked to my left side. It for sure feels more like extreme tightness than pain when I stand crooked and try to straighten. Have you had patients who have had to do these exercises for days before they are straight again?

I'm still in pain now, but I hope that this is part of the slow progression of healing. Small gains with the back straightening and then on to the next phase. Good luck.

my back got crooked after the day X 20.02.2020 when suddenly stabbed me while lifting heavy in the work. I got Sirdalud 2mg perscribed which relaxed the muscles and it got even more crooked. X-ray showed crooked, mri says L4/L5 medial - dorsal and little preaseure. L5/S1 left intraforaminal. Now the Clinic needs to stay closed because of the covid crisis and i can be as functional as the halflife of Diclofenac. Its the 7th week of hell and the pain shifted from the right to the left, and its a different kind of pain, maybe more spastic and reactive to the feeling. I think the body protects itself by blocking the muscles, and continues to hold the crooked position. Igot a belt from amazon for the sake of placebo effect, cannot say if it helps, but maybe you could show us in your next videos if compression is any good. Anyway very bad timing. But i like your videos and you give me hope that one day i will be ok. Greetings from Austria
