The exercises presented in this video are designed specifically for lower back problems that respond better to a “flexion-biased” approach. Some of these conditions include stenosis, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, spondylosis, spondylolysis, and spondylolisthesis.
My first objective whenever anyone comes in to see me with complaints of these symptoms is to get pain under control. This is typically done with some simple stretching techniques to alleviate pain and tension in your lower back. Check out this video for my favorite lower back stretches for spinal stenosis: • How To Treat Sciatic N...
Your spine is made of a series of vertebra stacked on top of each other. Each vertebrae is separated by a cartilaginous “disc” that gives your spine mobility and shock absorption. Over time, these discs lose their height and mobility. The result is often a “narrowing” of the spaces through which our nerves exit our spine. This narrowing is known as “stenosis” and can “pinch” the nerve structures as they exit your spinal cord and cause pain in your back or radiating pain down your legs.
Some common conditions that often result in stenosis include degenerative disc disease, spondylosis, spondylolysis, and spondylolisthesis. All of these problems can result in impingement of the spinal nerves that would result in pain.
The core exercises that will have the greatest effect on these symptoms are those that will flex the spine forward which results in increased space in the posterior openings. These exercises will work the muscles of your abdomen and keep your spine in what we call a “posterior pelvic tilt” position.

[@blkrose5175]

Finally after so many years in pain, I finally know why and what to do for my condition. Tried bridges and couldn’t understand why I couldn’t do it, gave up instead of keeping on to get better. Because of stenosis I can’t walk too far without having to sit which elevates the pain instantly. I’ve been in pain for so long I can’t imagine a day without but because of this video I’m going to try. Thank you so much, I also found out from the video that lead me to this one, with my condition, cobra exercise was making the pain worse. Again thank you. 2024 will be my year for less pain.🙌❤️

Happy new year! I hope it is yours!

How does ones core become weak ? I had just started these exercises today after having back pain thar spread to my hip for 18 months. Tried stretching and strenghtening of my flexors, guards, glutes, tfl , ql and hamstring and no difference. So I am going down the avenue of weak core however before I got this injury I was very active , playing football 3 times a week and jogging 4 times a week. Can too much cardio and not enough strengthening cause a weak core ?

[@cristinasuciu7077]

Thanks to you and your lovely wife for having all these videos ! Really appreciate it. Trying to avoid/delay a fusion surgery, and started again exercising, thanks to you. I know I have L5 Spondylolisthesis, and L4_5 simetrical bulging disc and facet artropathy. I think this video has the good exercises I should follow. And I’ve done the calf stretching that I think is much needed, since all the leg muscles are super tight. Thanks again and if you could confirm and recommend more videos, it would be amazing! Good health for you and your family🙏

I have an issue with this: when i posterior tilt while lying on the floor, this actually compresses my lower spine rather than opens it. Why? Because when we start with the natural curve, straightening that would make it longer, but my butt and upper back were already on the ground and they dont extend with the low back, thus it doesn't accomodate the low back opening

I've been to a chiropractor a few times and he was never able to crack my back where I felt I had stiffness in the middle of my back. I've been watching your videos and they've been helping me a lot. I am now able to crack and straighten my mid back fairly easily. What I am now experiencing is an "up-down" muscle being pulled near the bottom of the rib cage and a couple inches to the right. It's pretty centralized in that area and feels more like a very tender knot. Do you have a link for one of your videos that might help address this? Thanks for all your info that you pass on to others.

Hi Very clear video info and instruction. I have spondyloysis, damaged facet joints, stenosis, torn ligaments and two herniated discs in the lower lumbar area. Any suggestions for exercises? Thanks

Hi Michael - start with these stretches: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJi8aKiNhbSfiKM and supplement with the exercises in this video. Try to keep all movements pain-free if possible. Good luck!
