Sciatica Won't Get Better Unless You First Fix These 2 Problems
Sciatica stays much longer than it should because of 2 problems that rarely get fixed. And most healthcare professionals won’t know to tell you to fix these 2 problems.
If these 2 problems don’t get better, then any other treatment you do will only give you short-term relief. Getting long-term relief requires fixing these 2 muscle imbalances so that you can have long-term pain relief from sciatica.
These muscle imbalances are foundational to body movement and stability. Without correcting them, there’s a very slim chance that sciatica will go away for good.
In this video, Dr. David explains why sciatica won’t get better unless you first fix 2 foundational problems.

You explained exactly where the pain is coming from. Listening to you was like you looking inside my body. You explained exactly my pain area. Thank you for this video❤️
Wow thank you~ makes perfect sense ~ I need to get working out and activate these areas!!!
Wow! Thank you so much for this information.
I’ve been watching your videos for the past few weeks as I try to navigate an L5 disk herniation that has caused pain and numbness right down to my toes. This one was so very helpful in finally anchoring in what I need to do to avoid surgery. Heartfelt gratitude to you and your work – wish me luck! Michele from Gabriola, Bc.
This is EXACTLY where I have the problem. I’m looking forward to feeling the results! Thank you TREMENDOUSLY!
Ty. I think this video is awesome. 2 things. My butt / my lower abdomen I’m now going to pay attention to those … It makes perfect sense 😊
Good job explaining, never had problems now big issue for me. I will start trying this
Wow! All new content to me after watching any sciatica videos! Thank you!
This was so informative. Thank you
Thank you. How relevant is all this to a nerve pinched at l5-s1?
Thanks for sharing i’m a massage therapist in i always encounter some people having sciatica. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I’m going to share this with my 70 year elderly friend who is having terrible nerve pain in cheek of her butt. First they x-rayed it and we’re waiting on results but it sounds like sciatica to me. She is very inactive and sets the majority of her day and evening watching TV. I got her an exercise peddler that she can sit in her desk chair and pedal but she has even slacked off doing that and that’s when all this pain started, when she quit.
I have sciatica froma flattened lumbar. But i do also have weak glutes. Will these help? Seems like these exercises are aggravating my sciatica
I have scoliosis and I have pain where you described, so what can I do
Thank you very much doctor! God bless
See the skeleton, it's spine is supposed to in the centre, like the centre of a tree trunk.
If you get confused and believe that your spine is your back, you will start to slump and lean over.
Then the 'missing butt' starts to appear as muffin tops because your quads now go to the top of your pelvis instead of your hip… bye bye lower abs…. then eventually yours abs disappear altogether and your arches collapse… fun times ahead for humanity.
Yes,you know the pain that the sciatic put on the patient. I m glad i listened to this .pray that this will help.Thank you so much
I've been following for help for a yr now. I can finally walk pain free! I've been suffering since 2014 !!! Finally a physiotherapist who not only explains what the problem is but teaches how to fix it!!! You have saved me from having a knee replacement ❤ thank you so much!!
Couldn't see exercises it was all jumbled.but I did listen.
What about bike riding?
