You guys are saving my life one video at a time!

To skip to the "This" to be done, go to 4:00 . It's a standing back extension stretch

[globaldayz]

My tennis coach taught me this stretch when I injured my back. I've used it ever since. Unfortunately my lower back pain is still ongoing due to sitting so much & my posture is awful. All these little techniques are really helpful though. Persistence is key.

7:48 – That no look behind the back throw of the lumbar support towel with a perfect landing, though.

Before I call my doctor for any ache or pain I look to see what you two have to say. You have helped me with sprained ankle, shoulder impingement and neck issues. Thank you!!!!

In my teens, I was diagnosed with stenosis, spondylolisthesis, foramenal narrowing...L1 even has a crack. I sat at a desk for 30 + years and had hideous pain. There were times in my 20's when I couldn't even walk. About 6 months ago, I saw someone at work with a desk riser standing at their desk. I decided to try it. I now stand for 9-12 hours a day and for the first time in my life (I'm now 47), I have zero back pain. My neck is still jacked pretty often because--whatever TF is up with my cervical discs? Anyway, yeah-sitting was awful. I have to keep moving when I stand at my desk because my feet sometimes go numb or hurt, but it's NOTHING compared to my back pain. I wish I discovered this earlier.

I'm a recording engineer i sit for hours Doing music sessions. . My back pain is so bad. It also affects my stomach. I was told I have arthritis in the spine and a small tailbone for my size. I do yoga daily it helps. But I'm grateful 🙏 for finding you guys. Dealing daily with this pain is hard .

I work as a mobile dog groomer, I will have to remember to stretch between dogs on my route before I greet the dogs. Many times I drive almost an hour between dogs, than I have to lift the dog into the van, on and off the table and tub. One of the best things I discovered this year is instead of rounding as you bend over it’s smarter to use a one hand or elbow to root yourself and carry the weight as you bend forward and keep your back as flat as possible. This one new habit is a game changer for my lower back.

Bob and Brad you are spot on with this video. I have lower back pain, I have an implanted dorsal column stimulator (with a remote control!) to help deal with it, and I still have to take narcotic pain relief because I cannot take anything over the counter - long story. I have used trochanter rolls made from towels for years after learning about them in the one year of nursing school that I went through. I've used them in every way imaginable to help me align myself when I'm in bed and they really do help. I don't go to sporting events and sit on bleachers because walkers don't navigate bleachers very well and I'm very unsteady with my balance. My entertainment is crafting, which is something that I can do while seated. I make greeting cards and I sew a lot - and that is hard on my back but much less painful than standing and walking around. I have a really good chair with a lumbar support but I'm short and I have extra 'junk in the trunk' which makes it difficult to get my back positioned to take advantage of those lumbar supports. I wrapped a bath towel that I had folded around a length of clothesline cord from the Dollar Tree, secured the towel with a rubber band on each end, and tied that sucker around my waist with the towel in back. Now I have the support I need and I don't have to worry about sitting down and having the towel end up underneath me because it doesn't stay put in the chair and more . I get up and the roll just rides on that little shelf back there, and when I sit down I always grab the chair because I have rollers on them that are like rollerblades and if I don't hold on to the chair I bump it with one hip or the other and the thing goes sailing and I end up on the floor. Making adjustments in life so that I can keep doing the things I love is what keeps me going. At 67 I feel a lot older due to restricted mobility and body aches. Whenever I meet a new doctor and they ask me, 'Generally, how is your health Susan?' I come back with, 'I'm a relatively healthy fat chick with bad bones.'. I have three artificial joints, problems with my spine that required the stimulator, and I am awaiting the first of two total shoulder replacements when the Covid-19 scare is less scary. Add to all that hearing aids - due to a sudden loss of hearing and you can either call me bionic or The Terminator! Keep making your videos because you are sharing a lot of very useful information. I really appreciate you. PS: I had bariatric surgery for weight loss in 93 and dropped 200 lb but as my mobility decreased my weight started to creep up. I'm still 100 lb net to the good, but taking weight off when your sedentary is difficult. I am following what I call a quasi keto eating plan, because it's not 100% strict, and even my doctor noticed that I had dropped 10 lb when I went for my last visit without even reading my chart. It's slow going but at least the scale is headed in the right direction. My cholesterol is great . My sugar is not so great, but I suffer from reactive hypoglycemia due to the bariatric surgery and when I follow this eating plan I do much better. My heart is in good shape, my lungs are great, so I feel truly blessed. I do suffer from CRS (can't remember stuff) which worries me since we have Alzheimer's running through my family so I tried to keep my mind active and learning new things all the time. I just did not expect to get this old at such a young age, but it definitely beats the alternative!

McKenzie extensions are the gold standard. Bob & Brad showed it standing version. It can be done in a push up variation as well. If your hips are fixed - by partner or belt - it strengthens the mobilization. Cheers guys and keep up the great work.

[sherryanimallover]

Some people are just so disrespectful ! I thank you for any help that may help me and most of us feel the same !

[amymcswain]

This is very helpful to know, I work a desk job and my back has gotten so much worse 😔

[dw]

I have Ehlers Danlos, hypermobiltiy type 3 (diagnosed by a geneticist). Thank you for mentioning hyper mobile issues. I dislocate easily but I like to exercise and keep up with my pt. Both of you really helped my shoulder! You even warned in the shoulder rotator cuff video about a movement that could cause dislocation, so I didn't risk that one.

PT for Ehlers Danlos is the wild west, hardly anyone addresses or understands the dangers of loose connective tissue. So BIG BIG THANK YOU for looking out for us zebras!

[TravisVarga]

The world’s a better place with Bob and Brad in it.

[beereal]

Thanks for sharing guys, you are awesome !
I thank God for both of you.

[timothycurnock]

Being tall makes travel very very difficult. I hope everyone keeps that in mind.

[WhatB]

Wow no wonder we're all in pain. Thanks a million for the info!

[eg]

Great Video, Gents! I'll catch myself, in my haste, doing something IMPULSIVE (what's the big hurry?) and I PAY for it with Back and Shoulder pain.... With your guidance, it's never too late to wise up....Thank you(from Eve Green San Rafael California)

🎼Bob and Brad, the two most cute(st) physiotherapists on the internet🎶 in my opinion, folks.
