Two years and counting and I am having sciatica pain. Seen 2 spine specialists, 2 physiotherapists, 1, CMT, and 2 anesthetists. None of them was able to explain or diagnose me like this video! I am so grateful for you! Thanks load!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Salem. I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with sciatica. Have you tried any of the exercises yet? Please do let me know which are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family Best wishes, Ashley.

[@salemjamaluddeen9232]

@@PrecisionWellbeing Hi Ashley, Thanks for your comment! The best stretches are the ones where the heel of the leg with sciatica is placed on the other leg knee then pull both legs to the chest. I found this strech with its alternatives are the best. They gave me instantaneous relief. Thanks again!

[@vince_only_way_is_up]

Back pain is really the worst, I hope you get better with time.

I am from Jamaica I am feeling the same pain I could not walk when an do a x ray an they say is arthritis

[@cpnmikes]

Don't you wonder why they can't figure this out? I mean it's pretty clear the symptoms that we have do the doctors just want to keep you in the system and keep spinning their wheels so they can keep pulling money out of us

[@AmazingJellyfish]

Would love to see exercises done by someone who is currently experiencing sciatica so we can see how it will really look like

[@vince_only_way_is_up]

Probably one of the best explanations on KZbin, Ashley your a real expert.

I've watched a lot of sciatica videos these days, this one is absolutely the most informational and detailed, covering different sciatica causes and explaining actions based on your symptoms amazingly!!

@@PrecisionWellbeing Thankyou so much for asking about me. I am doing much better, I have started walking a little bit now. I still have the pain in my upper leg by my buttocks and mid calves. I cannot stand too long or sit either. I went to see a chiro doc because of my doc. But he made the pain worst and he press on my back so hard near my kidneys that it is so sore. So I stop going and used ice and heat which helped a lot. So as soon as I can, I will attempt some of your stretches. I know it will be good. I also got a tens unit I would try to use it but don't know how. Thankyou so much again. Blessings🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Ps. Can you tell me where are you located?

Have been paying a physio therapist for several months to assist with minimizing or elimination of pain due to sciatica. At no time has he ever explained the different causes of the pain and which is the reason for my issues. This video shows a number of causes, simple ways to test what is causing the pain, then ways to alleviate the pain. Thank you so much for this. I highly recommend this video!!

Sir,you have meticulously explained the facts,but I want to know how much effective are these stretch exercises as I am doing these for last 6 months but to no avail

[@ladykimberly4384]

Sir you are amazing!!! I have watched other videos on this and no one ever said that you could have sciatica in the gluteal muscles. I did the exercise and found out where my pain came from. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I know how to help myself better. This was helpful, informative and brilliant!

[@jadevinceul3433]

Thank you so much for your generosity. I know most of the exercises (some we do at the gym) but was afraid to move even a iota of my muscles, so afraid I would compound the situation. I have been living, sitting, sleeping, driving, climbing stairs up and down with acute pain for about a year. I just walk or run a tiny bit, and use cold/hot showers/packs when the pain is atrociously extreme. I have deserted the gym and just hitting the pool this winter was too cold I thought to my taste, even when the water was warm! I have become grumpy and impatient because of the pain. And sedentary! And as you said, the more pain, the less exercise, and the less exercise, the more pain. Doctors I have gone to tend to give medication but are not interested in showing you how you can get rid of pain with simple exercises and without much medication. Actually they are not entirely sure about physical therapy and have asked me to wait ???? I cannot take NSAIDS anyway, even occasionally, because of medical reasons, and Paracetamol cannot relieve the pain/over a substantial period of time. I understand what you said about tolerating some pain as inflammation is part of the healing process. I have started the exercises and they are great for me. I hope my situation will improve and that I won't need surgery. Your videos are very inspirational and the explanations great. I was really lost. God bless you.

[@ChrisKAloha]

Slump test failed. Had siatica in the past. Put yourself in a mental body cast to do your best not to aggravate it. It’ll heal if it’s just a bulge but it can take a while. Here we go again.

[@eleanorking8491]

[@moonlighth8643]

This is very comprehensive explanation of the sciatica symptoms I have had for three into four years now. I have seen a full spectrum of different therapists and still not able to find a solution to be completely pain free. I think it is because I have not find the root cause of why my right side glute will not shut down to trigger everything you described in this video. I can sense compensatory patterns in my body, making me believe it is beyond just the musculoskeletal level. Some nights I have very irritated nerve reaction in my right leg that feel like restless leg syndrome, but I am pretty sure it is related to sciatica. Maybe one day I will be able to find the last puzzle piece.

[@jennywang1713]

Stretching and massage with a softball help the most, but the pain and tightness are particularly bad in the morning.

Omg. I cant thank you enough. I'm pretty sure now that mine is in my buttocks. Thank God. In March I moved to a place where I have plenty of sun to grow stuff, a creek to swim in, and plenty of country roads to walk with extremely low traffic like maybe none on most days. Up to walking 4 to 12 miles a day in May. Then bbn one day early August my left side at hips with terrible pain n barely could walk. The Dr. said quit walkingso much and do t for couple if weeks. It's been almost 3 wks. and only little better and that when I looked o. Utube and thus was the first on and I clicked on it. Thank God! I learned my problem was most likely in my buttocks and that it seemed to be easiest to fix. Thank You for helping g people for free. I now know because of you I can heal myself. I just quit starting to get depressed because I had been so happy in my new circumstances. I will tell others about you. Bless You!!

Thank you so much for this video

[@julialafene5447]

A very useful video. I couldn't work out where my pain was coming from but now I'm much clearer. I've been doing yoga which helps but your exercises are very specific. Movement is the best thing for me as I have most pain at night& when I get up. So I have to do exercises straight away. I'm 83 so I'd like to say that there's a lot of hope for the elderly if we're careful & don't overdo it. Thank you!!

A very useful tips on sciatica. Please how can be reaching on alternative channels either email or telegram?

[@estellealgar3444]

Thankyou. I will try these exercises😊

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're most welcome Estelle. Please do let me know how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@lbazemore585]

Best explanation l’ve really gotten!! The visuals help so much!! Why don’t osteopathic professionals take a lesson in how to explain injuries to patients , and what physical therapy and yoga can do to help, from your channel?!?!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you so much @Lore Bazemore ! I'm so humbled. So glad you found the video insightful. I hope the exercises are helpful. Do let me know if you try them. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@Elize0805]

I love how you can explain anatomy so clearly to people like me. And thank you for the hip exercises 😉. I'm a new subscriber because I know I'll learn more things from you. Keep up the good work. Btw, please let me know the make of the trainers you're wearing, if you don't mind. I'd like to get them for my son.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Elize thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. If there's anything else you would like to know about please let me know. The trainers are from FitFlop. They are OK but probably not worth the price. Best wishes, Ashley

[@franksidener4469]

Thank you so much for this information! I’m doing two of these and omg!!!! I can walk with a minimal amount of discomfort. Prior to this video I was in agony trying to get out of bed or walking into work. Thank you Sir!!!!!

I tried the backward bend while sitting down & it caused quite a bit of pain in my lower back, buttock & hip joint only on my rightside. As i watched more of your video here, i've learned some stretches that i feel may be quite helpful, so i will try them, thank you very much & in awhile after doing these stretches, i will write a note here to let you know what helped, maybe it will in turn others in pain, i surely hope so, thanks.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

That's great to hear Melody! You're absolutely welcome! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Looking forward to hearing all about how it goes with the exercises. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.

[@dalespencer803]

I learned more from you in this video. I under stand my hip pain and my sciatica. Physical therapy is making it worse. Traction and tens treatment feel the best.

[@12alocin]

Brilliant explanation.

[@mingchan6300]

Excellent video on sciatica. Thank you.

You're most welcome! I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.

… tens unit also helps with the nerve pain.

[@koniroyval7467]

I tried a unit for 6 months. With NO resulting pain lost. Also did so for C-spine issues. Also no help

[@oldshawbones]

I misused (misdiagnosed) a tens in the wrong spot for a loooooong time. Soon as we moved it around to the mid-outer butt it REALLY helped! It was on the edge of the spine above the crack area

[@southpaw404]

@@oldshawbones … I believe it’s different for each person.

[@yazminsalome8827]

TENS yesss it helps!!

[@annabanana5203]

Ive been using tens for months and it doesn’t help me

Can you wear a Predator mask while you are holding that spine....? I actually understood your lecture... well done mate!

Idk how but watching this I felt so comfortable, at ease, and you just explain it so well, better then any of the doctors I've went to thank you somuch for putting something like this on KZbin! You don't understand how much this actually helps. I Hate barely being able to walk and sit it's so aggravating. I just got my back realigned and acupuncture today for mine thankfully

[@jelenagojkovic3026]

Brilliant video!! Thank you, I got so much out of this, very thorough and helpful.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're most welcome Jelena! Glad to hear the video was helpful. Have you tried any of the exercises already? Let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@madonnassister]

Thank you so much for this video. The sciatic pain I’ve been experiencing was down my left leg, but has moved to my right leg. I had xrays taken yesterday to get to the bottom of it. The exercises you show are so helpful. When I get into bed, it’s extremely difficult to get comfortable, but I had been bending my spine back and forth, like a lying down cat and cow, to get a little relief. What’s odd though is I can hear and feel a click or crunch in my lower spine, on the outer side. Is crunching or clicking normal?

[@peanutbuttertoast7742]

I don't think any sort of crunching sound would be good! 😱

[@terrancenewman2118]

Clicking is an indicator of hip replacement

[@staedlerok]

Just go swimming it will fix u . Forget the gym
