Thank you for this. With fibro and lower back problems, it's easy to cause problems. I didn’t have anyone to help me move my sofa so do it myself. Following day, major sharp pain through groin ( right-side), and trapped nerve front and back. Using ice pack for past 4 days but nothing is easing. Meant to be dog-sitting tomorrow but now it doesn't look likely. Should I alternate with hot and cold pack?
She made feel very relaxed. I wish I could book a couple of sessions with her. It would be therapeutic. Definitely going to try these exercises. My back is killing me at the moment.
I have Spinal Stenosis and have had for some years. When I have physio either from the ball of my foot if someone massages and presses the finger the pain goes from my foot all the way up my leg it's extremely painful or they press with their finger from the bottom of the spine and it goes in the opposite direction. It is painful. It is like have cardboard I tend to stretch with my foot over the knee to move the muscles. Interesting video.
So when you pull your sciatica muscle into filled out using an E,M,S, you may find that you feel like your walking sidewards for few day's, an E,M,S is a cure the power of the muscle being moved forcable mean's no reacurance of pain, nothing ever again, the best purchase i've ever made was buying my E,M,S's they have gave me back life, instead of being hoffled in bed.
And when you pull your sciatica muscle back into full, it may irritate the nerve for three or four day's with more e,m,s'ing to area, pluss the e,m,s should be on build muscle setting.
Nice, but it would be good to explain what is meant by "gapping" the joints.
Thank you. In this video you said spinal stenosis is a form of sciatica and this simple exercise is appropriate for this problem. Can you advise whether this exercise is also appropriate for other forms of spinal stenosis, for example, cervical or lumbar stenosis.
Thank you, been hobbling about for the past few days, started doing some stretching and simple yoga, this is specific to my problem though, thanks.
Is "gapping the joints" a medical term?
The most useful information I've found on YouTube – simple, easy to follow exercises, with detailed information on what I'm aiming for. After only two days my legs are no longer tingling and feeling numb. Thank you.
Nice information indeed.
This is
a basic exercise for people suffering from SCIATICA in its early stage.
