Prior to doing this exercise, I felt tension in my lower back. After finishing, my lower back feels so much better. I will do add this exercise to my morning routine. Thank you!

I like the use of your colleague and mirroring what you are doing.

oh wow... i'm feeling like a warm release running down my lower back... didn't expect this, thank you!

I have had a low back problem for over 40 years. I am amazed how following your video my low back felt better and my posture improved. Simple but very effective.

This is a great explanation. I’m stuck at home during quarantine and can’t go see my chiropractor, after feeling my back for pain and reviewing a diagram of muscles I narrowed down and then found this video. It really helped release tension in my back!

Awesome 👏 That worked immediately, felt the lower back disappear. Thank you. Look forward to next video.

Lovely straightforward explanation for a simple yet effective movement pattern. Thanks.

I’ve been going to the chiro for some days now to address lower back pain.. but this is something I can do at home in between treatments.. this is awesome! Glad I found this vid.

Thank you so much!!! Suffering for years and for the first time, something is helping!! There is an enormous difference with how I felt 10 minutes ago. Thank you thank you thank you Greets from Belgium 👍

Definitely going to add this to my exercises! I have lower degenerative disc disease and just doing this today helped!

My word! That was so surprising when I felt the fascia for the first time. Thank you for the information!

Thanks a million your the first one Ive heard on this. God bless

I’m going to have to do this daily, that felt great. Thank you!!

Wonderful. Immediate difference. Thank you.

Excellent instruction, I rarely have any issues, as a cyclist/triathlete I'm do not spend enough time focused on these exercises. You instruction released my back and hips. Thank you so much. I'll continue with this.

Thank you!! I was surprised by how good it felt!

This is another great video by Eric Franklin.

I was skeptical, but that felt good! So easy!

Excellent supplement to the PT I am having for just this issue. THANKS

The information in this video amazed me. After spending months trying to contort my back pain away. ThIs simple, mindful technique brought me awareness of my body's structure and the simple stretches are bringing me relief. Thank you so much!!!

I pulled something in my lower back region and had a huge bulge of the muscles next to my spine. The shocking pain when standing straight or bending down was almost unbearable. I would have to immediately stop moving and work my way up to a standing position or a sitting one. This went on for about a week. It was truly immobilizing me. I cannot afford to go to a chiropractor or doctor right now and your video really helped me. I will continue to do this and hopefully more relief will come over time. Bless you and thanks for sharing your expertise!!! It's greatly appreciated. 🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏👍👍

OMG. My lower back was tight and painful and I did this exercise and there is an improvement. I am shocked. many may thanks.

I legit can’t believe how this worked instantly.

Thank you for your clear explanation. This helps a lot.

Wow! Just, WOW! I can't believe how much comfort this delivered in just a few short minutes. I have been hunched over with lower back pain for days and following this video brought me back to almost normal. This will be a part of my morning and evening routine from now on. Thanks a bunch!!! Genius!

I do feel better! Wow! Thank you!!

Thank you, i will work on it. This is what I need!

Excellent stuff. Thanks a million for posting.

Will try. Thanks for the advice.

Well, this certainly works! I felt a definite elongation of the spine and drop back in my shoulders, better breathing. Did anyone else feel a release of heat in the body?

Fascinated that this worked so quickly to release my lower back....no ache left !I'm going to do this every day

Thank you very much for the explanation!

OMG, I've been trying so hard to figure out why my lower back hurt to bad. Thought I had sciatica or something, but it never quite added up. This is the problem. Totally felt it. Still feel it after sitting down. Started to release, in fact, felt it through my whole body. Slightly dizzy in fact it was so powerful. Will do this every day. Think I may have found a major reason for my headaches. Thank you thank you.

this must be one of the most professionally made videos. superb sound and video and DOUBLE view of the muscles and points of view. liked and subscribed right after the video was finished thank you for an amazing presentation

what sorcery is this and why does my back feel like I just got off one of those inversion tables?

Fantastic! Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. That was a great release.

lower back released, lengthened spine, relaxed and better posture. another fantabulous exercise!

I just cried with relief

Thanks very much for this demonstration. It was very helpful and educational.

Thank you! I have had lower back pain for three weeks now and having tried out what you showed my back does feel a little better. Will continue and thanks again!

I love you I love you I love you. I feel I just fixed my pasture. I have been working out really hard but my pasture hasnt become what I wanted but after doing this exercises I absolutely feel a change. So simple so to the point. Thank you Man

This was terrific!! Thank you

Thank you...I can feel the difference

Very straight forward, I have been recommending to patients, results are evident, Thank you

Brilliant... thank you so much...that really helped.

Excellent video. Almost feels too good to be true but my lower back immediately felt better

Thank you. So easy☺️

It felt relaxed 😌 afterward thanks 🙏🏿

Good exercise. Thank you!

That helped ...thank you

What a wondeful way to start my day! Thanks so much.

thank you!!!!

OMG this really worked I feel so much better been having this tight heavy feeling for weeks now after being diagnosed with spinal stenosis and l4l5 disc protrusions...reason I went for MRI scan I felt these fascia muscles were like being pulled away from the spine and there was a burning sensation. Never thought of researching the name of the muscles around d the spine till today because other exercises didn't do or get to these muscles...I feel so much lighter now omg...thank you

Thank you so much, I have always had trouble with this area. ........ what a difference ! : )

Thank you❤

Thank you

Great stretch!

pelvis feels more grounded, jaw softened, spine, especially lower spine, feels longer and more elastic. thank you.

thank you so much dear Franklin

i actually cant believe this, i have had back pain from poor form at the gym for years. been in an out of hospital and physio, many MRIs. it gets better, and then it gets worse again. I have been using a massage ball just lying down - but this focus on contracting and releasing the muslces while massaging provides sooooo much release. Hopefully i will sleep well tonight

I’m a massage therapist and we get too busy at work to trade sometimes and I really loved this video! Doing stretches between clients is always easier throughout the day than foam rolling or working it all out at the end. Thanks!

I've tried a number of your releases and they work a charm. Thx! But, this one didn't. It actually activated more tightly the spasm that's in my low back and groin/inner thigh area.

Thanks A Million Very informative and helpful Javed Akhtar Arain

Instant release . Thank you so much Sir. Cheers

My back was locked up, and this helped greatly! Thank you!!

This does help me. Nothing else seems to do so.

Super!,,,

I woud ie to receive your updates. Thanj you

That was good. Ivunderstood the excercise fine. Well described and easy to follow. When i am done, i now feel some tension even lower, in my back, all the way at the hip (the si) does this mean I should do the excercise again and try to bend further down or os there something more to it? I have to mention that i am infused in my l4l5, that might also play a role

is the rotation and lateral flexion done with the spine in the neutral position that Mr Franklin mentions?

Hey... I have been made aware that ultrasound scans can pick up the fascia and this may be why all these years of x rays and scans haven’t solved my head to toe problems with fibromyalgia.... I can feel it’s all my connective tissue causing my problems yet no scans have picked it up.... is there anywhere in the world that is using ultrasound to scan the fascia and connective tissue ? Any doctor ? Any chiropractor ? Anywhere ! I’m willing to travel the world for just one person who specializes in this.... thanks

How about using a yoga block or something similar to release adhesions and courting from postoperative mastectomy and subsequent reconstructive surgeries that have totaled in 8 I am a registered or nurse but I am also a patient with severe spinal stenosis that I refuse to have operated on

Im new to Fascia exercises. I have tendonitis in every tendon. Plaster casts braces therapy, shockwaves nothing works so Iam trying this. Already this this one exercise my lower back feels less tense and i feel taller.

Superb information, instructing SELF-APPLIED therapies, I like this Franklin Method. Fascia is a study worthy of several lifetimes, fascinating stuff. Could connective tissue be the primary information highway, a piezo electric interconnected time-less whole body synapse?? The nervous system is too slow when explaining fluid active movements, me think.

I have been diagnosed with myofascial pain my trouble is finding the energy to do any exercise as that is completely depleted right now... I’m going to try doing these exercises as they don’t look strenuous or require a ton of energy to do... I will comment again after a week of doing these exercises

You can also take the massage to a whole new level by simply using your 'knuckles' allowing for a powerful deep tissue massage with less effort.

It worked

Would have been if we saw the "lady in red's" profile instead of her back since I am not sure of the pelvic's position during the exercises (should my back be flat or should my bottom be sticking out)

Благодарю!🙏🥰😍👍🌍🌎🌏

Is this the Alexander Method? Thank you.

Is it possible to tear or strain the fascia of the lower back?

is it possible to do this release in a sitting position? I sprained my ankle recently and standing is still a little difficult.

I feel like I need something to put a little bit more pressure on it

Hi, I'm Daniel physio from indonesia.. nice to meet you

Is there an option for this if there is shoulder impingement?

Video flagged for promoting fasciaism.

Please send exercises for people with EDS

What can you suggest for someone that has become bedbound for 2 years and muscles have become rigid? Kind regards

Let’s end fascism.

I felt the tightness in my lower back disappear. This works well! How many times a day can one do this? Thanks for sharing, much gratitude /\

What if this causes you more pain?

OMG!!!

Thanks for this, i'm going to incorporate it into my stretching routine. I have a question though; I've had on and off back pain in my lower back for the last few years. About 6 months ago, after shoveling snow and then going for a run the next day (we had some strange weather, what can I say?!), my back seized up on me and has been in really rough shape ever since. I've seen my doctor and physiotherapist but I don't think either has specifically nailed the issue. Recently I've become convinced that it's scar tissue that has built up on my thoracolumbular fascia as I can feel grinding when I run my thumb or massage tool up and down my the vertebrae at the bottom of my spine. When I do the same on my wife's back, it feels normal (like you would expect muscle on bone would feel). Mine feels constantly inflamed and grisly and causes a great deal of pain. What would recommend to try to fix what I think is scar tissue? I've been doing daily stretching and self-massage with a tool that I bought. Seems to help in the moment but the relief seems short-term. Any advice or help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

cat and cow is more easy and effective. what do you think about it?

😊

Good info

Too many back spasms , how can i do this without spasms.

I roll on very hard, softball size balls to release aches in my lower back. It is the only thing that works. I do have to ask why does that part of my back lock up when I walk a lot?. I find myself needing to stop and sit or bend down stretching out my back.

How do you release fascia without releasing muscle ? What exactly does release mean ?
