Who else is lying on the floor right now

Praying for everyone to recover quick

I threw my back out 3 days ago. Been completely immobile, worst pain of my life, couldn’t more or stand up since it happened. Last night I did all your stretches , and it was painful and took a long time but I woke up this morning and have a lot of relief. Thank you so much ❤

I'm 31, exercise daily, eat super healthy and I threw out my back. I was terrified, I've had a baby with no pain meds and at least with that pain I knew it would end and I'd have a baby at the end haha, with this pain it was excruciating and had no end in sight. I'm the main care giver to my 4 young children and have no help, my husband had to take 2 days off and was looking at a third which we can't afford I did these twice, I had my husband do the massage part and I'm up and moving. I sat up put of bed on my own! This was a life saver, thank you, thank you so much Update- spent 2 days in pain where I couldn't move and found this video the 2nd night and started. Day 3 was up and moving but could really only stand for 3-5 minutes, I spent the day doing these and other exercises and heat therapy. Today is day four and I'm on my feet more then not. Theres definitely still pain and I have to take rests but I'm able to do tasks with no help. Stick with this, be consistent ❤

I “threw out” my back yesterday as I was shoveling snow here in PA. It took me by surprise, as I’d been shoveling for like an hour when it happened. It hurt so bad I thought I might pass out. I was home alone and very scared as I’d lost so much mobility instantly. After assessing that I didn’t seriously injure myself I came across your video and implemented these steps right away and they helped me SO MUCH. I was shocked that I was able to stand up on my own and go up/down stairs by the end of the day based on the pain and how immobile I’d been hours before. I’m so grateful to this video. Thank you so much for making it.

Oh man, this video was like magic. I threw my back out sometime last week & I could barely move for the last 4-5 days. It was my first time having any issues with my back so I had no idea what was going on. The early portion of the video to identify what it means to "throw out your back" was spot on, so I followed along. Now it feels like an 80% improvement. I had previously made an appointment with a chiropractor for tomorrow afternoon. I'll still go, but just to make sure everything is on the right track. Thanks so much.

I'm 31, and threw out my back this morning from coughing. 😶 I'm glad I found your video.

I first watched this video saying to myself "this guy is outta his mind, I can't do that!", after doing only the first 2 stretches, I can actually get up out of a sitting position without yelping in pain! haha This man is a genius. :)

Oh my! This is going to the top of my list of favorite back videos! You are so generous to take the time to make this excellent video. I hurt my back just getting out of a recliner to fast. It hurt so bad I could not walk, had to crawl to get to the bathroom. I thought I herniated a disc. I was scared to death. I've been in bed for 3 days icing my back, just getting weaker. After you described the symptoms I knew it was a lumbar strain not a herniation. That was relieving. I did some of the exercises and after about the 2nd time doing them I could walk straight for a few minutes. I did them every few hours for the rest of the day and I am 70% better. I will continue this till I can walk and bend normally. I am 70 years old so it may take a little longer but I won't give up. Blessing to you for being such a caring doctor.❤

I swear to God, your exercises really helped me out with my lower back. I don’t often write comments but I believe you deserve a lot a lot of respect mate. Thanks a lot for sharing such videos

super helpful! i am 25 and threw my back out yesterday and was in excruciating pain while standing or walking. i had trouble sleeping last night. this morning i followed this video and after about 30-40 minutes i did some cat and cow yoga stretches and feel way better. from an 8 on the pain scale to a 3. thank you!!

This video is a lifesaver! Threw my back out this afternoon and couldn’t stand up straight and was up all night in excruciating pain. Found your video at 3am, followed it and instantly felt relieved. Will definitely repeat a few times the next few days. Thank you!!

threw my back out this morning making my bed, had a full day of motocross planned but making my bed literally put me on the floor unable to move in pain. After a few hours I found this video and did all the steps. I"m at least able to walk around the house now and will continue doing these stretches/movements that I have already noticed worked wonders. Thanks!

I had severe back spasm which was unbearable for 1-2 days I was on medications but still felt no improvement but after I followed this video my pain was disappeared and I had no need of a single tablet again!! This was more than a magic. Thank you!!

Phenomenal. I’m in the military and do a highly physical and life or death job. Today was a push through day and I had no idea what to do. Thank you sir. This worked wonders

This video has just provided me so much relief. Blew my back out earlier today, been on my bed for almost 12 hours unable to move.

I just have done the exercises once, my pain reduced from 9 to 4. Amazing. Thank you so much

Outstanding advice. You described my symptoms exactly and following your routine alleviated the pain significantly on the first run through. Thank you.

This video is definitely a God send!!! Yesterday I was in excruciating pain to the point I couldn’t sit or bend over. I prayed that I would feel better then I come on KZfaq and find your video 😃 and now I’m feeling 10 times better than I did yesterday. Thank you so so much!! ♥️♥️

Thank you for sharing this. Threw my back out a few days ago and have just been resting it. But it's such a slow road to recovery. You described the symptoms perfectly. I'm going to start on these today. 😃

You're a hero! Saving this video for sure!

This is amazing. I went from bent over pain to walking normally. Thank you.

Helped bring me relief the first day! Pain moved a bit further down my back the next morning but was better. By the second day I was able to do much more! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

Thank you so much! I did this before going to bed and surprisingly I woke up without any pain in the morning. This helped me a lot.❤️

Thank you for this video! I’ve thrown my back out before, went to a chiro and got help, but I wasn’t able to get help over the weekend. I’m feeling back to normal. I’m taking what you said to heart about exercise in general being the best help for this issue in the future. Thank you!

This video was a life saver, threw my back out picking up my 70 LB son . I have a lot of events coming up this week and needed to recover quickly. Thank you ! Definitely saving this video for the future.

Thank you so much for this this video has been a lifesaver since I fell on my back and have been in excruciating pain and not even able to move in the morning! I would highly recommend this to anybody my back was even able to adjust when I did the part where you put your fist on your back and you stand up and lean back it was pretty amazing!

Thank you for making this video, I threw my back out and was able to start sitting up in under two hours. I’m not sure when my full range will come back but your video started the process

This video is blessed! I was with terrible pain to walk, I did the exercise once & it improved a lot, will continue with another round today & 2 tomorrow! Thanks

I was just shooting around playing basketball earlier tonight, and when I went down to pick up the ball, I felt a sharp pain near my tailbone. All signs pointed to my lower back going out a bit. This video helped me so much. Took my pain from manageable but v with very slow movement and a lot of pain, to painful but with full mobility regained. Thank you so much!

This worked so well and so quickly! Can't thank you enough. Perfect description of what happened to cause the pain (reaching for something!) Brilliantly paced video too. highly recommend.

Thank you! I went from bent forward to being able to stand straight again with good posture in a matter of 20 minutes. Lower back is still sore, but I feel like now I can actually get out for a walk to help things along.

Thanks for sharing this Dr. Wen. I threw out my back at the gym on the weekend and started doing these 36 h after to regain mobility. They’ve helped tremendously!

Outstanding advice it worked immediately I’m 60 years old and mine happen while doing strength exercising for my core and they brought me to my knees and I have been able to stand up straight just took away a lot of the pain

You are an angel!! Thank you so much. This has happened to me a couple of times before and I used to just lay about like a helpless fish when it did. Your video is really helping me kickstart my recovery. Thank you!

I am really grateful for the explanation on what just happened to me. I have had a lot of shoulder strains before, mostly from repetition at my job. At the time they were minor, not a whole lot of pain came from it. I just put a huge strain in my lower back for a first at my job only a day ago and stuck with it through my shift. It was tremendously painful and when I got home I could not lay down, I did not want to sit, I couldn’t get a good sleep. Finding this video has helped me so far and I hope that I never face this problem ever again! I would definitely suggest this to my family and friends.

Amazing video. Hurt my back last night on shift and started to do these exercises and talk about results. Going to let people know about your page. Thank you.

Found this video last night. Woke feeling much better this am. Give this mans guidance a go. Fabulous results for me!

Fella! Thank you for putting this out. Yesterday I wanted to end it all, now I'm just stiff, ill get there. Thanks!!

Thank you for your patience and soothing teaching 💖

Wow this was amazing I was able to do these steps after hobbling around the past 2 days, I can now walk around straight upright for the first time since I threw out my back. I’m going to keep this going thank you!

Oh Bless you! The older I get the harder it is to bounce back. This video just dropped my pain tremendously.

Awesome video, I feel a lot better after I finished all the drills 🙏

My wife threw her back out last night after picking up one of the kids and twisting wrong. She found your video and after 20 mins she was able to walk again! It was like a miracle. She went from debilitating pain and not being able to stand up straight, to walking upright without any pain! Today some pain came back but she's been doing this process and it's helping tremendously. Very grateful for this video!

Going on over a week and a half with my back out. Just did this video and I'm feeling so much better I will continue to do these it helped so much!

Excellent video, this helped me 100%

I threw my back out yesterday and was given medication for spasm’s. I don’t like taking medication but of course I needed to at the time but I’m working on these exercises now. Thanks for making this video 🥰

My back went out and I was stuck on the floor. After your video I was up and moving almost completely pain free. Thank you!

I just now finished doing this. Really solid advice. I injured my back yesterday, and I now I'm able to to about my day more easily and probably better for the healing since I'm not going to be stuck to a bed all day.

Wow! threw out my back & it had been spasming for the past 3 days, just came across this video and its a game changer, the heat & the lengthening excersises, was pretty tentative at first, but really worked. Thank you so much for posting this.

This is best thing I have found on lower back pain, stiffness, and the worst of all. Not being able to stand or throwing out your back. This work tremendously and loved being able to follow it. I was up till 5 AM my time suffering till I finally found this. Thank you!

thank you very much for a thorough explanation. I am very much better now, and I’ll continue to do it, till I’m normal I had a similar injury yesterday and when i got up to drink water in the morning, the intense, shooting pain made me all sweaty in seconds and I passed out. This is my second time in the last 3 years, so I am not crazy scared or anything, But I'm glad this helped many people

i honestly cant believe how quickly these helped with my pain. life saver!

Messed up my back last night - so glad I found this video! Perfectly describes what I did/how I feel. Did the 1st three steps and feel better already!

This video is right on the spot healing back spasms.

This helped so much! I tweaked my back for the second time. With these practices, my recovery is going to be better and faster this time. I already feel better after part one of this video.

Worked great for my low back pain due to heavy deadlifts. Thanks a ton!

Thank you. This has provided immediate relief. I will continue with this 🙌🏾.

First time I had this happen. The video got me well enough to make it to the bathroom after about 30 minutes of these exercises. Thanks so much!

You described exactly what I was feeling. Yesterday I picked up my bike while being turned in an awkward position. Suddenly I felt this pinching pain and couldn't move in specific directions. Even deeply breathing made it hurt at times. I stretched, massaged, even did the stair master in the gym, went for a walk in the park just to wake up today to tighter muscles, not knowing how to move. Every step caused a sharp pain and due to a "protective" position, other parts started to hurt after a while. Then I found this video and it was like MAGIC!! Instant relief and after one round of all exercises, 1 hr later (took my time with the heat and massage ball) I'm already feeling like a new person. Will keep doing the exercise throughout the day. THANK YOU! Sending this to all my friends!

Thank you so much, I was in deep pain, and this video came as a lifesaver!!

This is an awesome video!! I threw out my back & it’s helping me gain mobility. Slowly but surely. Good video timing and plenty of great-takeaways. Thank you so much, Dr Wen!!

This is exactly what I experience 1-2 times a year. Glad I finally found this video

The information was very helpful, I kept limping for over a month after stopping exercising. The loss of mobility idea is what it is for me but it also is possible I just don't target the area enough in different exercises.

Wow this video is exactly what I was looking for I think I pulled something doing a deadlift and this is exactly what I needed to relieve my pain

I cannot thank you enough for this video, threw my back out today and wasn't able to barely move before watching this!

Thank you! This all felt great ❤️

I’m glad I went searching for help here. Thank you for these tips and confidence in what’s going on with my back. I was one of those who woke up feeling fine about 2 AM and then at six when I started to roll out of bed there was a sharp pain. Following a day with my grandson and probably leaning forward too much trying to keep him from tripping as he is just a toddler. So I am halfway through the day now and I’m doing my second round of self massage and I’ve already been able to get up and walk around with less pain but I’m going to take it easy and do this right. Especially not leaning forward so much when I’m with my grandson in the future.

Thank you so much for such easy to follow and well detailed video! Just yesterday I wasn't even able to stand up for a minute yet today going through all these steps has already improved my back noticeably :) managed to even sit down on a chair (by the way doing those stretches while sitting made sitting much less painful, I had no idea!)

Thanks a lot to you and thanks to my wife for sharing this video to me.... I was really scared that something broke but I feel so much relaxed now

Almost called out of work than I tried ur steps I feel good enough to tackle the day, thanks man.

your video is pure gold!...I just researched loads of videos from various medical specialties, and yours in hands down the best...Thank you big time! keep up the good work!

I had a back pain and i watched this . Oh its already fixed my problem . Thank you 🙏🏻

Excellent video. Definitely helping me recover quickly and safely. Thanks for sharing

Exactly what I needed.. Thank you so much!

Awesome. Really helped tone down the pain. Thank you🤗

This really helped me, I twisted my back cleaning a side of a fridge and stood-still unable to move, I had difficulty sitting or moving or getting into/out of the bed and though that I heart my spine. My wife found this video the next morning, I started with it and it worked like magic! Before this injury I though that lifting heavy objects was the most common risk but I was mistaken. Any move that pushes the back beyond its everyday moves can develop something painful. Thank you so much for uploading this video.

Taking my time with this and being patient with my body has been helpful. As a freelance videographer, being down on my back means I don’t have any money coming in, so this video was a godsend. No rushing, but it has helped doing this 2-4 times today until I’m able to actually get out of bed.

Thank you. I will be using these techniques. You're a life saver.

I really appreciate these technics and feel good, thank you Doc

Thank you so much for posting this. It was really helpful for me to get moving again after throwing out my back.

This was honestly a major reassurance. I'm 27 and I've already had surgery on my L5-S1 for a disc herniation caused by a chiropractor, so when I had pain in my lower back again I got so worried. I couldn't stand up quite straight, but it felt more because of tightness than pain so I opted to look and see if there was a holistic solution. I went through the entire video once and I can already stand up straight again. I still have some MINOR pain/discomfort, so I'll continue this regiment for a while. Thank you so much

What an amazing video! Thank you, you've helped me so much 🙏🏽

Thanks so much for this video. This is exactly what happened to me a few days ago. I was making coffee and had to reach for a sugar packet high on a shelf. That's when I felt a sharp pain in my lower back. It was so bad that I fell to the floor, writhing in pain. I was just dumbfounded as to what could have triggered it, but it makes sense that just sitting all day, working on the computer could tense up the muscles around the lower back. My back still hurts every time I move around, but I'll try out these simple exercises now. Thanks!

Thanks for saving my Saturday chore routine!

Thank you! This is the one that helped me the most.

Man, you just got me up off the floor! Unbelievable. Thanks for the help buddy!

Thank u very much!! I woke up with back pain after sleeping on the couch & my lower back gave out. After doing this video I feel better enough to where I can go to work now. Will continue doing your video in the next week! Thank you 🙌👏👏

Just blew out my lower back and hoped to find a video to help.. this video is a life saver! Wowww highly recommend!

Have watched sooo many videos for relief from excruciating debilitating lower back pain but this video has helped more than any other = Huge THANK YOU for this Dr. Wen

Wow! After 2 days of pain, I watched this video last. If by and implemented the stretching suggestions and actually got some sleep! I also used a small back massage pillow (Amazon) with heating balls that worked in combination. As a senior, I’ve had reoccurring back pain brought on by lifting, reaching and twisting motions for years. I’ll definitely keep this video in my toolbox of remedies.

Best video by far I’ll be looping it while I am in recovery. I don’t mind the music or hearing him talk. Great job 🎉😊

Thank you! This is working, back is feeling much better...

Wow this is life saving. The information at the beginning really helped with the diagnosis. The step by step exercises all the way to the end led me to be able to stand and walk around again! I was in excruciating pain about to faint at the start and to gain mobility again has been magic. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this Frank, this works straight away 🙏🏾💯🙂

Thank you so much!! I have never had this happen. The exercise is really helping.

Day 2 of doing this and am almost back to 100%. Yesterday I was laying on the floor unable to move my arms or head, much less my back. Amazing!!!!

Thank you so much! These exercises helped big time!

Very helpful thank you!

I’ve had a terrible cold and injured my back coughing about a week ago. I felt something ‘go’ and I was doubled up in pain. Since them I’ve had spasms trying to cough, turn over in bed, get out of bed and straighten up in the morning. The pain makes me feel nauseous, I’ve never felt a pain like it. I’m a student of yoga and I’ve been using cat/cow exercise and heat prior to finding your video, but your help has been amazing and will take me to the next steps of healing faster. Thank you so much 🙏🏽
