Hi @DrRowe, I get bad pain behind my knee when standing and walking after sitting too long, there is also lower back pain, do you know what the diagnosis for this could be?

@jacobhir97 Ай бұрын

this same thing happens to me, even when I’m not looking for a video, just always happens to be a video about what I’m dealing with hahaha, when I got told about weakness I have in a muscle I’d never heard of before, I went on KZfaq a few hours later and saw this channel had just posted a video about it

@Niy436 Ай бұрын

It’s everything you just think about these days and the video pops up 🤔

@docinparadise Ай бұрын

It feels the same for me. But logically, I imagine there are a lot of these videos that popped up which, since I didn’t need them at the moment, I didn’t even register were there. We click on what interests us and ignore what doesn’t. I think that is more likely than Google monitoring our pain o’ the day😂 I still do one exercise every day that I learned on here, and it has me walking with zero hip pain. Thanks so much!❤

I am back side swimmer for the past 8 years and I have been having low back pain for almost 3 years now. I tried everything to fix it including strengthening hamsting and glutes, streching my back and the surrounding areas, hanging from a bar etc. I tried everything on this channel too, read comments to find a cure. No luck.. Finally, the info presented on this video really saved me. I have been working on the " overlooked " muscle for a week now. The superman pose was too weak to activate those muscles for me so I needed a more powerful one than superman pose. I am using tuck reverse leg raise instead. ( doing it on a bench ). Also the strech in the video is quite effective.Pain is almost eliminated, sometimes here and there, I can stand much longer hours at a time, kneel and come back up without any issues. I can feel the muscles strength when doing everyday movements. Hope I will get muuch much better. Thanks Dr. Rowe

Many thanks for an excellent series featuring stretching and exercise for chronic sacrum and lumbar oriented pain. I have been dealing with DDD and spinal osteoarthritis for roughly 25 years. I depend on several of your techniques and a number of others to alleviate pain and maintain mobility. I also practice mindfulness and meditation and use gravity traction and trigger point therapy as part of my regular routine. I was wondering if you have any suggestions or videos planned that integrate trigger point therapy targeting ITB, QL, erectors, psoas piriformis., etc…? Again, many thanks for your wonderful videos.

I have a lot of scar tissue in this area 4 weeks after a slipped disc and can confirm that it does cause a lot of instablitity in the spine. I'm out of pain but things still very unstable in lower back. I'm doing things as though still in pain and this helps stop the spikes of instablitity when the back is not happy with a certain movement. - Thanks once again!

This video just came at the perfect time, I've been having really bad lower back for close to 3 months after lifting a heavy object I went to the hospital and an x-ray was ordered which i did and my spine, vertebrae and discs were all in normal condition but the radiologist' impression was muscle spasm and i was prescribed muscle relaxants which I'm currently taking and I've been seeing some improvements. But I've been wanting to do some stretches and exercises which target the lower back muscles to avoid future reoccurrence of pain and muscle weakness I will definitely give this a try

Among the several back pain issues for this 92 years old man, is this: Because of decades of shifting weight to the right when walking, standing, sitting, left side is in awful pain . Just started being able to squeeze left buttock muscles. Muscles revert back to the right like a super strong rubber band. How can I correct this. Have seen multiple pain management specialists and physical therapists. Someone has to know something about this. Weight shift to right was due to severe pronation of left foot. I wear orthotics now, but the condition seems permanent?

@@DrRoweThank you Dr. Rowe. Will do. By now I have consulted a PT specialized in lower back pain. He examined things thoroughly and said my small abdominal muscle and my small back muscles should take more of the load. Currently they are not which causes all larger muscles involved to over compensate, hence the stiffness, pain, loss of stability and compromised breathing..

I have had diagnosed herniated L5-S1 disc. I am otherwise a very active athlete, but it seems my sitting along with muscle imbalance (very strong legs, other body parts normal) have resulted in this injury. I am working on decompression of discs and spine each day, but I also hear that I should strengthen my multifidus muscle. Would these exercises work? Are there any other you would suggest?
