Do you have anything for spine pain?

Cassandra Crego says:

So I'm not typically one to comment on videos but I just had to say thank you. I was born with spinal stenosis which has caused chronic sciatica. I've attempted multiple medications both over the counter and prescription as well as months of physical therapy with no relief at all. I am 28 now and have had sciatica since I was in my early teens. I've learned things that help and things that make it work. My symptoms show up when I stand still or sit for too long. I used to have quite the active lifestyle and was always out and about, moving, and barely sat down for more than an hour at a time. Two years ago I developed a chronic disease after having covid which has completely changed my life. I am physically unable to live the lifestyle I had before and am forced to be sitting at least 90% of my day. Any form of exercise causes a flare and can leave e bedridden for the rest of the day if I'm not careful. I have an office job now to accommodate and am sitting at the desk 8 hours a day. I have been in so much pain! Even prescription medication cannot relieve it, just take the edge off. I have even tried using an acupressure mat before and just general yoga. Today on a whim I thought "I bet there's yoga for sciatic pain" and did a quick search. All of the other videos I saw I didn't even bother trying. Most of them focused on forward bending as well as hamstring stretches. I've learned through experiance that while these stretches may feel like they are stretching the right area they don't help, and often cause the pain to be worse. Just listening to your intro though I could tell you had actually done your research and knew what you were doing. I attempted this routine tonight after work. Usually I have to lay in bed on my stomach for close to an hour after work to start to feel better but this 15 minute exercise gave me instant relief! I'm not exaggerating either. I was so focused on doing the exercise correctly that I didn't really notice until I finished and got up and it was shocking. I had no nerve pain! Now, my muscles hurt because I'm horribly out of shape and it did exhaust me but those are things I'm confident will improve with time. After living basically my whole life with sciatic pain with no sign of ever finding relief you have no idea how life changing this is! I've already got a plan to break the exercise into two pieces so that I can do a few stretches during my two ten minute breaks from work. I'm extremely hopeful that continued practice of this exercise could even completely alleviate my sciatica! Thank you for taking the time to truly research this and come up with a routine that helps from the source!!!

Win Liu says:

Sphinx has become impossible for me with sciatica, I’ll check out your other video with modifications, i miss the pain free days and my regular yoga practice. Glad to have found your channel!

Jake Brindle says:

This was really very nice! I really opened my back up, thanks 🙏! It's a shame though as I'm getting into a groove, some commercial comes on, ugh 😩

Peter Hyrka says:

omg – from the very get go, this is exactly how i go to bed.

Steve Turtell says:

What do you mean by forward folding?

Suzanne Barr says:

This routine really helps. However, having adds pop up really kills the flow

Skydancer says:

Holy crap! I just gave birth, I’ve had horrible sciatica pain and pelvic girdle pain my whole pregnancy! I walk in pain a can lately bend over without my back about to give out! This simple workout has made it so much easier! Thank you!!!

Pam Dixon says:

I think this may work I'm just having a lot of difficulty I will do this again before I go to bed and also your other exercise

Denise Moreau says:

I got quite a bit of relief – thank you! I'm new to yoga and am astonished at how stiff and inflexible I am! I will be watching more of your wonderful videos to hopefully limber up and feel better. Thanks so much!!
