This channel is brilliant! I'm so glad I’ve come across you! You are a gift for us. Your generosity sharing your knowledge and the scientific explanations is much appreciated! Thank you for sharing it with us Will!👋❤

For a long time I have held the belief that many aches and pains can be resolved through stretching, exercise and massage if you just know where to start, what to target and what to do. So it has been a joy to find this channel that helps me take that belief to another level. Great explanations and so many stretches and exercises that on my own I would never have thought of or tried. Thanks Will.

I’ve been doing some of these exercises but will add the new ones to my routine. I also need to increase my reps. I watched your video about walking. I often have pain in the lower back and hips when I walk. I’m hoping this will help. Thank you.

@anncharlson1570 10 ай бұрын

I was very fit until 2021 when my back started to hurt. I went to the physio at the local hospital who told me to carry on exercising which I did and, ultimately, I injured my back more which eventually went into spasm. 2 years on I am still in constant pain. Too late for me but a video on acute back injuries would be very useful.

@antonioj.castaneda7377 9 ай бұрын

It is never too late, you just need to right help and tools to rehab! Take care!

@rocktapperrobin9372 9 ай бұрын

Not too late. Like you I was very fit but had episodes of back pain probably caused by enforced bad posture when I was still working. Then 2 years ago my back went into extreme spasm so that I could hardly move. Owing to lockdowns I couldn’t get to see anyone so the condition if anything worsened for 2 months. Then I saw an osteopath who over 5 or 6 sessions unlocked everything. So I would recommend finding a good osteopath. GPs useless, they will only give you painkillers. Now I am having trouble walking, probably because the leg muscles got weak, and I am finding some of these physiotherapy exercises on this channel very useful. Not up to scratch yet but rapidly improving. But do see someone! Worth the money to get your health back. And best if luck.

Hello Will, This exercise not possible for me for now, until I get the left hip joint fixed. I really look forward to improve through your well explained back/hip flexibility exercises💕🇰🇪

@sandrajohnston9745 2 ай бұрын

Excellent video for me. Lower back stiffness is my big problem. My goal is to be able to walk freely while standing straight up. I am 77 years old and 3 years ago I had my L3, L4, L5 and S1 fused. It fixed my severe sciatica problem and kept me out of a wheel chair and I am able to do almost anything now except walk fast and walk standing straight up. Because of my previous problems and age, what should my realistic expectations be? Should I be happy with what I've got, or should I keep trying for more? I watch your videos and do the simple exercises you recommend for seniors.

Hi Will, I have been following your channel since last year. Wonder if you can produce a clip on exercises we can do on a long haul flight (economy class😂) of 10 hours, especially for those with sciatica and swollen feet issue.

Love your content , thank you. I did not know extending toes back can cause a cranky sciatica pain. Would this be in all realtionships to gravity? For example on floor taking toes towards knee?

@hazydreamer7965 10 ай бұрын

I love your videos and often keep doing the exercises you are showing us. It is quite a coincidence that this morning I had an appointment with a surgeon who specializes in lower back problems. He suggested I ought to have more exercises meant especially for the lower back. Now I shall start with these ones. One question: Tightness, I saw you on one knee but did not see you move at all. Which part of your body did you push or pull? It was the third in the group of exercises intended for tightness. Thank you. Regards from the Northern Countries of Europe.

Hello. I am four months after total hip replacement and coming along well. I am anxious about putting my right ankle over my left knee/ thigh.I also have a lot of scar tissue to gradually work on. Sould I defer this move or just try it. Thank you.

Hi...I'm a 48 year old male, reasonably fit, working out everyday for the last 30 years. About 80% of my workout is body weight ( pull up, push up, running, shadow bowling, stretching etc) & 20% is light / medium weights. I play active cricket. In October last year, while doing a dorsiflexion stretch in lying down posture, I got pain symptoms of sciatica ( due to a disc bulge). Terrible pain lasted for about 7-8 days & after that it's negligible. I'm doing core strengthening for last 8 months but a certain part of my left leg - near the outer calf muscle, still feels lightly numb. Sensory perceptions are 100% all right even there ( as per tests) but that numbness / rubbery kind of feeling persists. I am a left arm fast bowler in cricket & wish to continue with the game without debilitating perils to my back. Is that possible ?
