I’m struggling with sciatica from a month now. Can’t walk, can’t sit at all. At bed rest nearly from one month, only get up to use toilet. Searched a lot on internet, thank you I finally get this video. I have pain when I flex but my physio said no to little arm extension exercises. But I did it after watching your video and it really helped. Thank you so so much.

Wow, this actually worked. I've been stretching the wrong way, this entire time. No wonder the pain keeps coming back. Thanks so much. So the goal is neutral position. And I should stretch both ways when I feel better.

Really very important message.Thank you both of you guys.
Recently I have a very bad back I’m searching all your videos and trying to do so.
Hopefully it will work for me.

Thanks guys. In fact while training and during some floor work I include a couple of cat cow and child pose which give me instant relief. 💪👍

I have near constant (although it randomly disappears sometimes or goes unnoticeable) mild low back muscular pain that may be related to my spine. I have ZERO pain in catcow/camel and I do it before every workout for spine health. I don't get back pain after lifting, but sometimes in a deadlift I have discomfort in what I believe to be my sacrum or coccyx. It doesn't hurt but it's alarming and scares me tbh. Also the pain is localized bilaterally in my lower back and upper glutes. But I also randomly feel a tight stiff spot in my mid spine. It randomly will feel like something is there but then go away after 2 days. It's a pinpoint spot that doesn't move. And one time, during my workouts, my entire back would get completely stiff. Not just the low back - the entire back. But this happened for 2 weeks then randomly went away and never happened again - although recently, occasionally my lower back will randomly feel stiff then go away. I can't figure out what's wrong and medical professionals haven't been able to either.
