To simply summarize how important this position is just think back when you were in your mother’s stomach all those months, this was the position you were in. Blessings. 😊🙏

I just had a consultation at a clinic for the problems you addressed in this video. They wanted $40,000 up front or financed to address my hip pain. I “just happened” upon your post. I didn’t sign the contract. Thank you, Lord.

*🗣Not everyone is given the chance to grow old. So appreciate and Thank GOD for every single day od your life.Amen💝*

Thank you kind Doctor! I am an 86 year old Texas woman and I always benefit from your wonderful advice.❤

I truly wish more people supported chiropractors. A chiropractor is who God used to heal my son of asthma. I was desperate. We had close calls with my son when he was little due to the severity of his asthma. We were in and out of hospitals, had a breathing machine at home and he was on pills and inhalers. I lost so much sleep as I feared if I slept he would have an asthma attack in the middle of the night, and I wouldn't know. God moved this family to our hometown, and the husband was a chiropractor. We all became friends, and he knew about my sons condition and asked if I would be willing to bring my son in to see him. I agreed. I was desparate and willing to try anything for the sake of my sons life. He showed us through exrays how my sons spine was curving causing pressure on his lungs. Long story short. I took my son in every week for adjustments for about 6 months. My son was completely healed from his asthma. My son is 37 today and he is still asthma free!! Hallelujah! ❤❤❤

Keep healing us, doc, we appreciate your mood and good will. God bless you!

These stretches helped me to reduce severe anxiety. Not only did it activate my parasympathetic nervous system, stopping the fight, fight freeze response. They also helped me to release years of pent up anger. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Mandell.

I literally just got through doing this stretch, which I do at least 3X a day❤..and let me tell you guy's this is one one of the best stretches everrrrrr!!!😊

Best excercise for your back, had surgery for a herniated disk,and my surgeon told me to do this everyday. This helped me tremendously.

If I'd ever had a Dad, I wish he would have been like you. You would have been an awesome Dad. - I'll try that exercise when I go to bed later.

I adore that exercise. 10 days is today. My low back pain is gone. But I'll do it every morning and evening because is that just relax. Thank you so much Dr.Mandell ❤❤❤

Ah! My hero, Dr. Mandel! I've been doing happy baby and several of the other exercises that you have recommended and I must tell you that your coaching has made a remarkable improvement in my back "conditions." I'm 76 years old and I've had lower back problems since the age of 12. I've been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and was always told I had sciatica, which I'm sure is true. However, it was only recently that I discovered the problem is the psoas muscle and illius (sp?). Until I retired 11 years ago, I had always been able to manage the pain with exercise, yoga, massage, and those nifty little injections that keep a person pain free for about 6 months. Then I retired (from teaching) and planted my ample butt alternately on the sofa in front of the TV or in my office chair in front of my computer. Need I say more? The pain got so bad that it was difficult to walk and I had to curtail even the most usual activities. This group of "hip flexor" exercises you recommend are miraculous! I never realized how tightly wound and scrunched down my pelvic region had become. Sometimes it would feel as if it were frozen in place! With your exercises, which I do at least once/day, it feels so roomy in that region, like there's wind passing through it. Moving is so much easier and walking! Well, I was taking some pretty spectacular falls, and I walked with great fear and trepidation, which, of course, caused me to shuffle my feet, which of course led to more falling. Today, I am steady and confident on my feet, and my gait and my posture are greatly improved. I'm now logging 5-6,000 steps a day!! I've lost weight, I can breathe more deeply, and I have more energy. When you say that doing these exercises will yield numerous health benefits, you ain't lying! Allow me to end this diatribe with a stern warning to anybody under 50: DO NOT, DON'T EVER STOP MOVING!

This exercise felt so good. I recently fell backwards in my garden and rolled over to my knees and once I stood up found I could barely lift my legs to take a step to get back inside. So for a month I've been crimping to get around. This exercise is helping greatly thank you

I love you Dr! Your one of the real Dr.s! Your beautiful! Keep up the great work 💚🤗😘 Light in the earth, thank you 🙏

Hubby and I will be doing these tonight before bed. We complain to each other all day about aches and pains, and I see these stretches being part of just what we need. You are awesome!

That was a good stretch I’ll push myself to keep doing these exercises each day to help my with my hip arthritis. Thank you doc

You are genius. I was in pain and now feel much better.

This was a tremendous relief for my lower back pain.... did it b4 sleeping and I wake up noticing a huge difference...this exercise will surely become my daily routine.... thank you Dr. You always hit the nail at the head. Wonderful job 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Doc , i have had lower back of L4 and S1 compression for 7 years and i have done all sorts of exercises without change but TODAY i tried that exercise and the pain is gone , it was like magic !!! Much respect Thanks Doc.

Peoples' Doc! May you be blessed❤

I can't thank you enough! I cried through the entire stretch which I can usually do with no problem. I threw my back out four days ago and have been struggling to find comfort. How I wish you were here in Calif so that you could treat me. In the meantime, please know you make a healthy positive difference in my life daily! Thank you soooo much😢

Got this advise from an Osteopath over a decade ago, to do these stretches first thing in the morning before getting out of bed, whilst trying to sort out lower back issues. Been doing it religiously ever since and advising friends with lower back pain and Sciatica to do the same. Great to see these stretches demonstrated here. They've helped me tremendously.

I have been doing regularly. Sciatic pain has gone. My body is looking good. My friends don't give up.

Your LOVE ,DEVOTION, and COMMITMENT to OUR WELLBEING and WHOLENESS is SOOO VERY MUCH APPRECIATED and APPLAUDED 👏🏿👏🏼👏👏🏽👏🏻👏🏾 We LOVE amd BLESS YOU ,Dr. MANDEL 🙏🏽💚😇💯‼️‼️‼️

No matter how you feel today, get up, Look up and give God the glory for waking you up Amen

Thank You Dr. Mandell for always being so informative. May God continue to bless you and your family. Have A Blessed Day

Thank you, Doc! This is what I really needed to learn. Lower back pain has been problematic for a long time. Especially these past few weeks. I appreciate you caring enough to share your knowledge with us. God bless you and your family.

One of the greatest people that existed/ exist on Earth. Abundant blessings to you and your loved ones ❤

Great knee exercises to losen the lower back. I used to feel heavy waking up. This really helps me feel light and perky. Thank you Dr.Mandell for taking the time to show us these exercises. I keep following you and have learnt a lot. Have shared your videos too!!!

Dr Allan Mandell, wow. I just started this exercise last night and l feel great changes in my body. You are a genius.... BLESSINGS to you and your family. Keep on doing what is best for God's children...

Im 67 yrs old. Thinking back over the years the number of incidents of falling/landing on butt from ice, etc. DEF going to try this. Bc at this point everything he described is happening.❤ Thank you.

I'm doing every morning and evening. I love to do that exercise. Especially in the evening it's so relaxing. Thank you very much Dr.Mandell. I'd like to recommend to everyone. ❤❤❤

Thank you, Doctor Mandell you are such a blessing🙏🏻 May God be with you always.Have a wonderful day😀

Dr Mandell thank you for this wonderful exercise just what I needed 🤗

THANK ! i have had 2 spinal fusions over 30 years ago and worked in the legal field during those 30 years sitting in front of computer screen for hours on end. Just recently in car accident with injuries (a broken hand) fortunately no acute injury to spine (MRIs show some determination to some discs) i cannot thank you enough just one session and what a difference!

Exactly the area I’ve suddenly experienced issues with for the past few months. What a lifesaver. Thank you so very much. Appreciate you.❤

Million thanks and blessings to you Dr. Mandell

Forever grateful Doc- I just did this routine and I feel like a new person.

Oh my god !. I got relief from lower back pain doing these simple stretches . Thank you so much

Thank you doc!! These stretches are awesome, feels sooooo good. I already do most of them but the order in which you do them makes a big difference😊

I just finished doing these stretches and I feel so much better. I have a hip impingement condition, and I'm often in pain. I plan to do these daily. Thanks Doctor!!

Great these knee exercises. Felt good doing the proper way and the explanation you give as we progress. Simple yet it relieves me tremendously. Thanks Dr. Mandel for helping us keep fit.

Dr. Mandell, he's got your back, literally.

Oh wow thank you so much for these stretches. I’ve been doing them for the last two weeks, and it was hard going the first couple of days but sticking with it has done me the world of good. Thank you so much. Love your work.

Dr. M’s voice is relaxing which also helps to relax the muscles.

You are magical, may you live for hundred yrs more to be able to help more humans. 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️

These stretches are part of the beginning and the end of my daily workouts. I'm 65 and I'm more functionally flexible and stronger than when I was 40. Partially this is due to a more disciplined lifestyle in regard to nutrition and physical activity but all of that is resting on a foundation of gratitude and love. It took a few years for those values to become prominent in my daily thinking but after I got that message it's been a whole lot easier to do the rest of the stuff we need to do to be healthy and fully human.

WOW! Dr. Mandell, those exercises are really awesome. I think I'll be doing them every day. Thank you for always helping people. ❤

Thank you, Dr. Mandell! GOD bless you on this beautiful day.🙏🏽❤️🌟

Thank you so much for this great stretching video. I've shared it with my family. It's amazingly healing for my sciatica. I love your calm and reassuring presentation and explanation. ❤😊

After a gazillion videos, groin pain, sciatica, and years of pain and doctors misdiagnosis, this exercise resolved all my problems. Thanks Doc 😊

Great stuff as usual Dr. Mandell. This does work.

I would like to thank you Dr. Mandell, I did that exercise for the transverse abdominis and it has worked really well in stabilizing my lumbar region, posture, easier and stronger breathing, and solve a host of other problems - the collective relief of which brought significant changes. Thank you!

I live in the UK and found your website recently….you are an amazing knowledgeable human being, you truly a very special man and I thank you for showing me the way to repair my lower back- sciatica issues plus my golf game is slowly returning.

Love how the fetal position does wonders. It's pretty much going back to the start of life❤

Thank you so much for this particular video, as I have SI joint pain and these exercises are going to help. I have been doing knees to chest but not the spread and resistance that are beyond that. ❤❤❤😊

As a massage therapist, these are excellent stretches (dynamic). 👏👏👏💜

My PT prescribed this same movement, including 1 knee at a time. Great job

Thank you Fr. Mandell
