Thank you so much. I've been in agony with sciatica for quite a while now but didn't think exercising would help. It does. You're brilliant Mike.

[@judimartinez9516]

Thank you for a seated sciatic pain video. Right now I don’t think I could get up and down on the floor - so appreciate finding something I can do and have benefited from.

[@yvonnesmith4819]

Thank you for this video! I am a stroke survivor and hemiplegic. I've had terrible sciatica on my functioning leg for over a month. I've tried many stretches taught to me by physical therapists and they worked but only temporarily but then I followed this video a few times and my sciatica is so much better plus your exercises are easy to do so thank you so much!!

[@MoreLifeHealth]

You're so welcome Susan! Glad to hear your sciatica is much better, and you find the exercises easy to do. All the best, and keep up the great work!

Thank God and to you so much for this stretches tutorial! I’ve been searching so long since October 2020 before ran into yours, this by far is the BEST that works for me!! Give immediate relief! I wish many who have similar issues will find this!! Thanks again!

[@luciac.419]

Thank you. I looked up these exercises for my mom to do since she is dealing with sciatica issues. Your exercises are helping her.

[@MoreLifeHealth]

That's great! I'm glad the exercises are helping :)

[@anneblair4031]

I am so glad I found this exercise. I can't quite put my left leg onto the other thigh yet, but I will get there with patience. As they say, prevention is better than cure. I had very painful Sciatica 15 years ago, and it lasted 5 years. Exercises wasn't part of my life at the time. As we age, we might not be able to do high impact exercises any longer, but we can certainly find plenty of exercises to suit us in Mike's videos.

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Great attitude Anna! I love it! You will definitely get there! Keep up the great work!

[@yvonnesmith4819]

These stretches are part of my regular routine two years later.

[@JOEY-BOY12]

[@MrNcgy]

Oh thanks Mike, I tuned in to get some ideas for my mother and wound up doing the exercises myself. It's interesting, my own mild sciatic pain seems to be related to how tight my muscles are. I had trouble with a few of the movements that were always easy before. I appreciate the inspiration!

[@agnesgold5133]

Thank you so much for your Sciatica exercises I will do them a few times a day you are a fantastic young man 😊

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Thank you Paulette! Good to hear you like the videos. 🙂 There are a few other back exercises you should find helpful also.

[@debbiherold4932]

Mike- My right side glutei and piriformis have been so tight. I don't have sciatic pain. I found this video. The glute and back of leg feels good afterwards. The stretch pulls on inner right groin muscle also which helps. Can you recommend other videos to stretch and/or strengthen this area? Thanks very much. I will also search thro additional videos of yours.

[@hildasantos4473]

I am very grateful for this stretches . My body is riddled with osteo arthritis and now i am experiencng sciatic pain these moves are doable for elders like me so happy i found your video. Thank youj

[@jeromehogan8854]

I am so thankful I have found these exercises/stretches for seniors. On the "Simple Stretches for Sciatic Pain" Mike does a back stretch seated whith his hands on his lower back and talks about doing the same stretch on the floor or standing. Where can I find these ?

[@bonniealvarez5510]

I really like this and yet found that I sort of automatically rounded my shoulders. Here's what I did to stop from doing this. I put my hands on the underside of my chair and held on while bending forth. That stopped me from rounding my shoulders to keep my back straight. Thank you for this. I can easily see myself doing this regularly to help with sciatica. I appreciate you Mike. : )

[@MoreLifeHealth]

All good Bonnie! Regarding rounding your shoulders - Great idea! Keep it up!

[@hildasantos4473]

Thank you for this stretches it lessened my pain considerably my hope is my pain will eventually be relieved as i do this stretches 5x a week. i still cannot do the piriformis stretch but i do a modified one where i bring my foot to the middle of my other leg and hold it there it is getting better i know by next week i should be able to bring my foot all the way up to opposite thigh. am hopeful.

[@66FitzJohn]

Hey, are you still out there? You mention a booklet in your video? How to I get one, please? Also you mention an on the floor sciatic pain stretches, what is the title? I would like try them? I am 80 and I find your videos very helpful and doable. Namaste!

Appreciate Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Parlandealey Leaving Pain Process (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for learning how to cure Sciatica minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got excellent results with it.

[@patriciap.9034]

People say they can’t hear you but actually, you have an echo because your space is empty of rugs, drapes, etc. Would using a different mike, or new settings, or a muffler help the sound? I just found you a few days ago, and I’m going to stick with you. In my mid seventies, was in ICU THREE MONTHS ago and I have severe left leg pain in hamstrings and knee. Can’t bend the knee because of severe pain that burns also. Can’t get off a chair more than once lol. Where do I begin? I can do the upper body exercises. You teach just right. Not too fast and not too slow. So glad. God bless you.

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Hey Patricia. Thanks for your comment Yes I think you're right in regards to the sound. Might turn the room into a giant cubby house to help with the sound :) Good to hear you're out of ICU . Have the doctors/Physiotherapist suggested exercises to do.? I suggest you work with someone considering your situation, until it improves. With the exercise, do a little bit and gradually increase this over time. As you stay consistent, you'll begin noticing differences in your movement, which will help with confidence and it will get better from there. Also make sure you balance the exercises with rest and recovery.

[@patriciap.9034]

More Life Health Seniors thank you for replying to me. My recovery is going slowly, but that is because of my age and other health issues. I have been exercising since I am a teenager and so I know how critical it is to be consistent and not to overdo. I’m in good shape for my age, LOL, and I will eventually be in therapy with professionals here where I live. In the meantime I am keeping in shape as much as I can with your exercising plan. Thank you for who you are, there should be more like you in the world. Patricia ☮️

[@duffjolly4428]

Thank you for these exercises. what causes weak and tired legs and what can I do about it. thanks again. cheers

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Can be many things Duff. Hard to know! Best to see your doctor or Physiotherapist in person.. Start with eating healthy, getting a good nights sleep every night and eradicating stress and add in some exercises and you'll feel a big difference!!

Great to hear Yvonne! Keep it all up! 🙂

[@shrutiagarwal4388]

How many times do we have to do this exercise?

[@Rosie-bz1gz]

It depends what's causing sciatica. These exercises cause sciatica for me especially the first one as having foot forward and leg straight puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. The leg needs to be slightly bent.

[@partysongs5606]

Exactly this exercise tells you to have your leg in the right position before you even Lean Forward . the sciatic nerve can cause your lower back, your hips and your leg to be in awful pain but once the pressure is off of the nerve the right way then you have relief which I found that this exercise brought me the relief

Is this OK to do when you're struggling really badly with osteoarthritis in your knees?

Hey Rebecca, the first two will be ok. May need to bend the knee a little bit when doing the second stretch if you get pain when the leg is straightened. The third exercise you may find a little difficult. Can leave this one out.
