After I fractured L-1, I wondered where my core strength went. This is the first time I've seen there is hope for my core strength!! Thanks Brad and Bob.

I love these guys! Great teachers. Did anyone pay attention to the skeleton's position on the left? Hysterical!

Yes! I was taught these exercise by PTs for several instances of this lower back pain caused by weak core muscles. The first thing they taught was laying down with your knees up and squeezing that core. Bob and Brad are fantastic showing this with tightening the core and squishing of the hand underneath. Everything they are showing is what my PTs showed me and they work.

Right now I am waiting for a new Serta bed that is being shipped to my home. My mattress is lumpy and is causing extreme back pain every morning. The Cleveland Clinic online suggested a pillow placed between the knees at night. It worked!! I wished my PTs had told me about this. The only thing is the pillow fell out during the night. So I ordered a memory foam type pillow with a notched area with a Velcro strap on Amazon so it doesn’t fall out in the middle of the night.

I developed sciatica a month after getting my 1st desk job (used to be a teacher, rarely sat). That was 3.5 years ago & it never left. I started these exercises and by the 4th day the pain in my lower left back which radiated up and down my whole left body has almost disappeared. I am in disbelief that the pain would just diminish so fast after just a few sessions of very low strain/few reps exercises. It’s the 8th day or so, yesterday I lay in bed all day and held the same position for hours, sometimes awkward positions I could never get away with before, and the sciatica pain only showed up as a slight twinge at the end of the day. Today i’ve been sitting/laying in bed all day and I feel the typical back soreness that comes with that, mostly higher up on my back, but NOT sciatica nerve pain. If it returns, I’ll come update this. Thanks for posting y’all.

I've had 2 lower back surgeries and my last one was a fusion - I paid a fortune for some of these exercises from a physical therapist and lost the exercise sheet. Thank you guys so much!!

fantastic exercise set - I can even do these exercises in bed with active vertigo (BPPV) ... Bob and Brad are fantastic. I can't wait to take Bob and Brad to the gym with me :) I had to pause post-laminectomy recovery exercises due to extreme vertigo (BPPV), these exercises are perfect

[cindyteacher]

physicaltherapyvideo I love you guys as I've been so depressed and hopeless about my recent lower back pain which has impacted my life in so many ways. I wish you were in New York. I would be there asap. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I would love a 30 minutes exercise video with exercises for lower back pain so that I can practice daily since I cannot afford physical therapy.

[adeletangjian]

Thank you for educating me! Hopefully I'll heal faster!

[nanalinda]

Watched this from a link in a current back pain stabilization video. Great information and instructions! These will definitely go into my routine! Thank you as always. Mike is great but I miss Bob.
