Best video i have seen on explaining what and what not to do to help with sciatica because everything that work for some may not work for others .

[@tgeliot]

I've long said that the best thing I've gotten from yoga is learning to be aware of what I'm doing with my body, and how my body is responding.

[@eshaan2208]

You are a honest person.

I have 40 years experience in physical therapy and THIS advice is excellent!

[@litoperez7067]

Of all the videos and advice that I've watched here in KZbin... This is the most honest..sincere and 101% true...thanks for sharing....I am suffering from this problem ( sciatica, herniated disc, pinched nerve,numbness of left legs, thingling sensation down to foot, back and leg muscles tightness..limping kind of walking) and I think if I will follow this advice from you...I will be able to recover and put everything in my life back to normal again and goes back to work..thanks a lot for sharing❤🙏

[@leeyanghui6866]

I had seen hundreds of videos n your advice are indeed correct as you had been through "pinch Nerve" n obviously u have knowledge of this suffering .Pls keep on giving us your experiences.Thk u ,sir

[@sayhellowavegoodbye]

Das beste Video in diesem Zusammenhang, was ich dazu bis dato angeschaut habe. Und ich habe schon sehr viele gesehen. Many thanks for these good tips and for the explanations

[@safaricartvideos]

My 4th time dealing with sciatica in 4 years, 53yo with very physical job. Great advice, listen to your body. I have been given lots of generic/bad instruction trusting the experts. I believe the core is the real solution, I'm still learning. I focused on my breathing while watching this video and could feel improvement already. You just joined the list of people I trust, thanks.

[@didactica9326]

What a fantastic human being you are and I’m actually excited to sign up for your physical therapy program, thank you so much for the work you do ❤

[@joannpajunas9905]

Thank you so much. Your advice to avoid asymmetrical exercises is helping my SI joint pain already.

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Joann, thank you so much for sharing! I'm so glad to hear that the advice is making a positive difference for your SI joint pain. Wishing you continued relief! 💙

[@alchon528]

Thanks for sharing this information,my experience is same like yours.My problem starts 5 years ago and my path with the mackenze exercise is the same ,before I learned about my anterior pelvis tilt,no i work harder for my abs and glutes and have some reliever from pain,thanks again!

[@mariannececilia_cole]

Thank you! This video should be what everyone watches! It is so complex. I’m a contortionist and ballet dancer and have struggled with SI joint /piraformis syndrome and have friends with Sciatica from various causes and it’s really a long learning process to manage it.

I've had many hours of education built into my treatment using feldenkrais as a modality. This approach is similar. It's a lifetime of habituation that can not be changed by quick fix. Body awareness and rehabituating.

[@dansheedy2784]

Such good advice. We’re all different. I’m learning - do more of what feels okay and less of what feels terrible, i.e. don’t make it worse. But MOVE as much as you can.

[@DeeDee-2]

The same thing happened to me, in terms of the pain coming the following day. I was outside somewhere, I walked down 3 steps, and missed the last one, and fell on the left knee, my body twisted around. I Wasn't hurt, and didn't feel no pain. The Following day, I woke up with excruciating pain in right buttocks, thigh, calf, numbness in foot. I did my own research, found out it was piriformis, & sciatia nerve. This was 5 weeks ago. I watched KZbin exercises videos for the syndrome, eat more healthy, did more walking. Was getting better, then 2 weeks ago, a piriformis spasm occurred and buttocks pain came back, even worse. Still have it. Just had acupuncture, will take more. The pain reminds me of pregnant labour pain, but at least when a baby comes, the pain goes away. Ours is long, and don't know when the pain will disappear.....` Thanks for your genuinness.

Good on you for taking it into your own hands 🙌

Very helpful information! Thank you!!

[@vkcn1399]

Agreed with you.

[@michaelrch]

Afaik an important use of nerve flossing is post surgery as it is supposed to keep the nerve moving while the tissues heal and avoid the nerve getting stuck in stiff scar tissue. I don't know if this is a scientifically proven thing though. I do have my S1 trapped in scar tissue but it is only a problem when my back is weak. When it was strong from physio I hardly notice at all.

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you so much for sharing, Michael!

[@DianeWinfield]

I have spinal stenosis and in last few months sciatica. Walking sitting and standing are all painful. Can only stand for about 30 seconds without needing support. Having to rest in bed too much. Also have hip pain on the same side. Very hard to find the right balance between exercise and rest. Really hoping your advice can help

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Tara, thank you for your comment! The gentle exercises and movements taught in the Core Balance Training program are designed to address the root causes of stenosis, and help prevent further issues from occurring. Have you given our free 7-day trial a shot? We'd love to help!

[@tracycameron5099]

[@brittharris6266]

Been dealing with chronic low back pain / SI joint pain as well as sciatica and leg pain. I’ve been seeing a chiropractor regularly and am trying PT for a second time, but haven’t had much relief. I just started your core balance program. Can this program also help when there’s an issue of uneven hips and functional leg length discrepancy?

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Britt, a warm welcome to the program! I do believe you're in the right place. Our program is designed to address the root causes of Si joint pain and sciatica, as well as muscle imbalances. We have had students in the past who have had varying leg length discrepancies and uneven hips, and they have reported that correcting the muscular imbalance in the body has been helpful in addressing the underlying cause of some discrepancies. Left-right imbalances can lead to one side of the pelvis sitting higher than the other which can affect leg length and uneven hips. Left-to-right (frontal plane) muscle imbalances can be corrected and we cover that in the latter portion of the program. 😊

[@LaurieAbeel]

I am currently doing decompression therapy for my sciatica in my right leg - I have two bulging discs - L5 and S1... works sometimes... hoping it helps. I do some core strengthening exercises they've given to me. I recently started having a burning feeling on the top of my left foot with some tightness in my heel and sometimes weird pain in my two outer toes. Is this also from sciatica? And why would it start AFTER I started decompression? Can you help?

[@rsimps672]

How long did it take you to get the nerve signaling and feeling back in your leg, calf, foot from the sciatic being pinched? I have numbness and weakness from the pinching. Just wondering how long it might take for the feeling and muscle control to return if i can get the pinching problem managed. Thank you for your work. I have so many similar isses as the ones you mentioned you have.....

[@EjPwned]

Did it get any better?

[@TYGZus777]

Walking triggers excruciating pain deep inside my right hip. I have nerve pain all down my right leg and especially in the lower, front, outside leg. I've taken PT, chiropractic therapy, epidurals, gabapentin, pregabalin, tens electrodes, and dry needling. Nothing phases the pain, and it seems to be getting worse every day. I've been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis, mild scoliosis, and spinal stenosis. I feel as though none of my health care professionals understand how much pain I'm in, and they make no effort to try to help me. I am the one to search for things, like epidurals, on the internet, and then I suggest possible treatments to them. Why aren't they trying to help me? Why don't any of the wealthy medical professionals make any effort to help me with the next steps or suggest places I might go for further treatment?

[@CoreBalance]

This is a very common situation, and I completely understand your questions as I was once in the very same shoes - with stenosis, spondylolisthesis and DDD, searching the medical system for solutions for 10 years. I believe that: 1) One of the biggest problems is our system focused treatment on the pain, which is not the cause of the problem. 2) Many health care providers don't actually understand the root cause of the problem (they do care, but don't know what to do besides PT, pills, injections, surgery). 3) The only TRUE solution is educating and empowering yourself to take responsibility and make changes in your life. Specifically, improving your relationship with your body, core connection and posture. I teach this process in the Core Balance Training program which was designed for people with your conditions.

[@sanjanidzovic991]

This video helped me a lot,thank you very much! I have had spondylolistesis ,grade II for years but I did not know untill the last year. I am also a fitness instructor and my favourite exercise was cobra ,I made also squats with heavy weights ,deadlifts and other things which were bad for me.. But I did not know for spondy in my body.I 've had chronical pain and sciatica now and I as you said I'am trying to help myself mostly by my own.

[@wendyclairmont4410]

Hi Dr Ryan. I am most likely a candidate for your program. I have all of the conditions you mention. My last MRI was October 2023. My surgeon told me to try some injections which did not work, and I would need a laminectomy. I had a microdiscectomy on opposite side in December 2022 with positive relief, I was in debilitating pain. I have been participating in a program with El Passo PT online for almost 1 year. Their program focuses mostly on pelvic tilt. I had an ankle replacement in April 2024 and am recovering well, going to PT. I love swimming and have been swimming over the past 2 months with pool buoy, but as your video states, this may be making my back worse! I am happy to provide my MRI results. Does your program still include personalized coaching? Please help!!

[@wendyclairmont4410]

I also am taking medication...Lyrica which gives me some relief. I have so much more history, hard to fit in comments. May I have a consult with you?

[@karywilson6001]

I’ve done all these exercises and the only only that give me real relief is pillow under the abdomen as well. I feel like this is sciatica but what’s weird is I feel a knot at times in my mid back to low back. Doesn’t hurt just feels like a knot there. Not sure what this is.

[@AKB-cs8kw]

Hey doc, i have a weird pain that is in back of my knee its like sharp pins n needles sometimes goes to my foot but the needle pain is so severe i m not able to walk n even got extension lag due to immobalisation , its been 5 minths i cant walk with straight leg plz help

[@katielindskoog5122]

I have front thigh and groin pain. Is this another nerve issue from another source ? I have no clue where to start with figuring out how to fix it… master the perfect bridge? Ps love you Core balancing program.

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Katie, thank you for sharing, and I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the program! This appears to be more related to SI joint pain, as it can occasionally lead to referred pain in the crease of the thigh and the groin area. It could involve muscle tightness and soreness contributing to the discomfort, which is often part of a predictable pattern of muscle imbalance. Since you're a member of the program, you're in the right place! The program is specifically designed to target the SI joint, helping to strengthen and stabilize it through the movements included in the program. Keep at it, and there's no doubt you'll experience the benefits! 😊

Brother so sad to hear about yr condition.. I pray you get over it.. I am having same issue.. Avoid pain killers.. Try and take supplements which relax nerves..

Then from Himalayan organics company there is Alpha lipoic acid, hope it helps you.. And real thanks from my heart because it's tough work you are doing as service

Of course cobra pose was the first thing the PT had me do for my DDD. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@farah3541]

How do you know what type of conditions you have? SI joint, disk degeneration etc My SI joint hurts alot. But doctor dont find any thing I joined you 7 day free trial. I am on day 2 and did back Anchor awareness. I was so sore afterwards. When i bring the ribcage down. I dont know if i am doing it right. My lower back and neck is hurting alot afterthat

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Farah, thank you so much for your comment! It may not be necessary to determine which type of conditions you have to make progress with the program, but the best way to make this determination would be to pay close attention to where the pain is located and what type of activities seem to exacerbate the pain. This information can help you determine where the majority of your pain is felt. It's important to listen to your body and adjust the amplitude of your movement as you begin working on the Back Anchor Awareness. If you experienced an increase in pain in your lower back and neck after the Back Anchor Awareness movement, that would be an indication that you may be performing this movement with too much intensity. Too much intensity is the most common reason for pain. Not only that, it bypasses the deep stability muscles (that we're trying to target) and engages the superficial power muscles (counterproductive to our goal) - reinforcing the root cause of the problem. You will get the MOST benefits at a low intensity in Modules 1 and 2. I know you're excited to feel benefits, and high-intensity effort is a reflection of that, but this program is a long-term strategy to back pain. So, dial down the intensity and focus on developing awareness of the targeted muscles before building their strength. Trust in this process, and you'll have a lifetime to experience the benefits. Hope this helps!

[@rosalynsookoo362]

I have tried almost everything no relief due to my pain I'm unable to sleep the pain is so intense shoots down to my leg and becomes numb is there anything you can probably recommend I would really appreciate it thanks ❤

[@eshaan2208]

Urgent advise for my issue 1. Tiny osteophytes in L4 and L5 2. IV disc space reduced between L5-S1 3. Sclerotic changes in both SI joints but pain in my left side 4. Lumbor lordosis is normal 5. No spondylitis is seen

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Eshaan, thank you for sharing your situation with us; that is very helpful! I do believe that the Core Balance Training program would be beneficial for your situation. The program is designed to address the root causes of many of the conditions you're dealing with. Weakness or dysfunction in the core and spinal stabilizing muscles can result in spinal instability, which may contribute to abnormal movement patterns and increased wear and tear on the spinal structures, including the development of osteophytes. Addressing muscle imbalances through targeted exercises can improve spinal stability, reducing excessive motion at the L4-L5 level and alleviating the strain on the vertebral joints. Muscle imbalances can lead to compensatory movement patterns, where certain muscles overwork to compensate for weaknesses or dysfunctions in others. These compensatory movements can create abnormal stresses on specific spinal segments, potentially exacerbating degenerative changes and osteophyte formation. By correcting muscle imbalances and restoring proper movement patterns, the risk of abnormal stress and subsequent osteophyte development may be reduced. Muscle imbalances can contribute to poor posture and abnormal spinal alignment, which may increase stress on the intervertebral discs. Strengthening and balancing the muscles surrounding the spine, including the core, back, and hip muscles, can help restore optimal spinal alignment and distribute forces more evenly across the discs, potentially reducing further compression at the L5-S1 level. Weakness or dysfunction in the core and spinal stabilizing muscles can lead to spinal instability, which may exacerbate disc degeneration and contribute to disc space reduction. Addressing muscle imbalances can improve spinal stability, reducing excessive motion and shear forces on the intervertebral discs at the L5-S1 level. If you're interested, we offer a free 7-day trial covering the first week of the course, where many of our students report feeling significant relief. Please let us know, and we'll be happy to assist. 😊

[@AG-nn8lp]

Ok but you can absolutely feel sciatica in your upper back and this is proven with nerve flossing

[@bethb9248]

I can get my sciatica under control but it's constantly reaggravated after picking up and carrying weight, meaning my grandchild. This is not optional 🫤 Will building my core strength help? I'll give it a shot!
