After 4 years of suffering, two cortisone shots, PT, Acupuncture and the Chiropractor, and hopelessnessI found this site a week ago. I have only been doing these exercises for 4 days but already I am noticing a SIGNIFICANT improvement. THANK YOU! I could literally cry...I have hope that continuing these stretches leads to additional improvement and reduction of pain.

I'm so glad that I found this video. At 64, this has become quite painful.I haven't slept well for months. I'm thankful that I can fix this myself without going to an allopathic doctor🙏

[mollyerickson]

I've been battling this pain for several months and have resisted going to a doctor until I feel I've exhausted all possible fixes myself. I went through this set of exercises on the floor and not sure which one did the trick but afterwards, I tested for the greatest pain-inducer (lying face down and lifting my legs like the "Superman" pose) and NO PAIN. I am dumbfounded and afraid to hope I can do these each day and eliminate this pain that is constant yet unpredictable in intensity but this is going to go into my morning routine. Please let this be the set that works!

Thanks you very much. I am 77 and these exercises have helped me very much. I think I have had this thigh pain for years and didn't know what was causing it. I also find that I sleep better and have less pain during the night.

Excellent programme and excellently communicated. I sat down, saw your video a several time, made notes and drawings and made space to do it. It is a challenge, but there is always possibilites to listen in the body, and modify the practice. I just want to thank you for your generosity to share. I wish you all good luck in helping people with pain. That is why we are here, to help each other.

Thank you for this detailed video. I had a very acute case of Meralgia Paresthetica and could not stand up straight or find a sleeping position without extreme pain. These have helped considerably.

I also am really glad I found your video. I started these exercises about 5 weeks ago. Right away I had improvement in the degree of numbness and skin hypersensitivity, but after about three weeks, I hit a wall, and have not been able to get rid of the numbness in my right quadriceps. Most of my skin hypersensitivity is gone, and I can now have material touching my leg without great discomfort.
I will continue these exercises with the hope that with time the numbness will go away. If there are any other exercises I should add to further help with that issue please let me know. Thanks Again!

Has this been known to help for a while. Ive gine to several PT's, never had this offered. Been incapacitated for more than 3 years. Glad for hope!

[jdncozumel]

Super Helpful, though the ad during the stretches was startling and disruptive. Thought you would want to know. Thanks 🙏🏻❣️

[venitagabriel]

Thanks so much for this. Feeling so relieved after doing it once

Thank you for addressing meralgia paresthetica with these exercises. I have just started and feeling the benefits already. Very interesting to hear about the causes and more importantly how to improve the condition.

The Psoas release technique and edge of the bed Hip Flexor Stretch changed my life! Thank you! ♥️

[CStayman]

Great advice here - I appreciate the level of detail and clear instructions. I added this to my Garmin workouts to rehab my pinched nerve. Thank you for this!

[addictcyclist]

Dealing with this at the moment and unfortunately. Only feel it when laying down at night in bed. I had a mountain biking fall and twisted my hip and slight trauma from hitting my top tube.
Thanks for the video!
