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.

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. : )

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.
@MoreLifeHealth3 жыл бұрын
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.90343 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@partysongs56063 жыл бұрын
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
