I've lived with back pain since my 20s when I slipped and fell in my bathtub. Now in my 50s. Can't count how many times my back has gone out from lifting something heavy to something as simple as sitting in my chair. I have been laid up in bed for weeks unable to move, to having to use canes to walk. I found this channel after my most recent back pain. That was 3 weeks ago. I have found the information in these videos extremely helpful in getting my back back up and better. Thank you Bob & Brad.

What symptoms did you have in the beginning was your lower back feeling tight around the pelvis and did you get any spasms?

I don't slouch. I do lots of walking etc. I do everything right, and I still get back spasms!

If Bert & Ernie were physiotherapists... Thanks though guys, very watchable & helpful.

This just happened to me. I was cleaning the kitchen and my back went out. I had to lay over the island, and then hunch up the stairs to lay down to ice it. Needless to say, That is why I am here now.

I have a similar job where I'm sitting all the time. We need to get up and walk. I feel much better when I'm walking so I make sure to walk even if it's just to the bathroom every hour. If I don't do this, my back freezes up and will go out. I have arthritis. Hopefully your job allows you to do this. Humans weren't meant to be sitting or stuck in one position for long periods of time. It's too bad modern life doesn't let us move the way were supposed to be!

Just happened to me a few days ago and I had some of the signs, like stiffness in my lower back. Wish I would have watched this video sooner!

Nice tie, Brad! Thanks for this video guys, I learn sooo much!

You fixed my broken heart and broken back💜

These demos are back saving! Thanks so much!😊

I threw my back out last week when I sneezed! I've been subscribed to you guys for awhile but darn it, I've watched but haven't acted upon your advice (obviously). Anyway, I watched this now and then bought your book. And now, to get to work on things!

Thank you. Your videos are so helpful. My back just went out and I’m trying all your techniques. Glad I found you 🙏❤️

If you guys still have your backs go out, what hope is there? : ) Seriously, this concise summary of information on warning signs and pre-emptive things to do is really helpful. I've jotted them down on a card to help improve my back habits. Also, for me now at day five after my worst sudden back strain, it is helpful even just hearing you say that just about everybody has his or her back go out now and then, and recovers. Encouraging. Thanks. Long time fan, first time commenter. Subscribed.

After experiencing the first severe issue with my back (at 54 I can't complain but never want to experience again) I went in search of information & stumbled upon your video. THANK YOU for the bits of information that's fun to watch too! Will be checking out the other informative videos to learn more from you two. Also, spied Gumby on the skeletons shoulder...made me giggle :)

I’ve been straining/spraining (don’t know the difference) my low back for 15+ years. I probably have “crippled” myself about 7-8 times, I’m only 43. My most recent and worst one was last week where I had to use a cane to get to the car for a ride to urgent care for meds. Now I’ve always heard to ice it but I’ve always heated mine because it felt so tight. Heat always loosens me up and I can eventually stretch and crack my back. I tried ice one time and it got so tight I couldn’t move at all and was screaming in pain. I will never ice it again. I’ve never been stuck in bed more than 3 days until this last one which was 4 days. Now, I’m not 100% but I’m moving fine after 5 days. I always get prescribed muscle relaxers, naproxen and Tramadol. I only take the relaxers and Tramadol for 3 days usually.

Great as always You guys are a great team

Very informative as usual. Merry Christmas to you and yours! God bless ya'll....Beverly

I love you guys, seriously, you guys are great

Thank you.

this is exactly where I'm at right now as I've said before I've got numerous medical issues and I'm well aware my posture is awful, spending all day immobile I spend a lot of time on my phone/tablet and this seems to be what makes mine and many people's posture so terrible these days. after seeing my physiotherapist I see how bad it is and even watch my kids as they sit the same staring at their phones! I'm on many pain relievers and nerve pain suppressors, I'm not allowed anti inflammatory meds unfortunately. you guys talk a lot of sense thanks for all your efforts x

So I have been dealing with a herniated disc and sciatica since Nov 2021. At its peak, it was the worst on thanksgiving. Since then I’d been improving. However, two days ago, I sneezed so hard my back went out and now I’m starting from 0. It’s so hard to endure. The pain makes me want to not be alive anymore.

Yes i discovered this way of getting in and out of bed. Good demonstration 👍

Anti inflammatories and ice, then leave things ready for the next day, cause you won't be able to walk, crawling on hands and knees is least painful . Stay in bed for 2 days then start the physio. Start trying too stand and walk on day 3 for 10mins every 2hrs,walk,bed,walk,bed. On day 4 walk around the house for half an hour every 2 hrs then bed, avoid sitting. Day5 you should be walking without much discomfort, but it will take a another 7 to 10 days for the strength and stability to build in your back. This works for me, I've torn the same little muscle 8 times over 25yrs mostly on a half bent over rotational movement.

Thanks!

I run equipment for a living I am writing a message on my windshield in my truck and machine to do a stretch and sit up straight as a reminder so I don't forget and start slouching again. I get working and focus on that and forget how I'm sitting a lot. Bouncing up and down on that seat in my truck or equipment hasn't been good for my back over the last decade.

You seem to talk a lot about common precursors to low back pain issues. Can you talk more about what might set off upper back and neck pain incidents?

Preach Bob preach 5:51! Great detailed vidéo. By the way, how can someone that's cursed with a nearly absent lumbar curve sit? Today I tried sitting up straight in class and had a tight lower back all day. My body tends to forward flex to decrease pain even though that's not advised.

The best

I've been doing yoga more regularly now, but the thing is I'm not very active. I think when I went into plank then into cobra and then into a downward facing dog I went too fast. I also have been a tech (web design) student for quite some time, you sit a lot in front of a computer, I've been telling myself to adjust my posture but now I'm just laying here watching videos on how to fix this...

Wow! Some very good advise that youguys give us. Would you be so kind to let know where I can get those balls mainly the little one?

Right where you placed that first white ball is where my back spasmed a couple days ago :/ took my breath away! its still painful! dont know what to do.. im 35 and trying to get back to normal.

@bob&brad - do you still advise these hip rolls from side to side if you’re experiencing hip pain too? I have both lower back and hip pain like aching quite a lot

You may have sciatica or inflammation. Both of which can be helped by anti-inflammatory meds. But I'm not a doctor. Just a patient with experience. If it persists and you're in pain, you should see a doctor and a physical therapist.

It’s the best positction to help in pain

Hello, when I do the press ups and hallelujah stretching my spine hurts at the middle. What could that be please?

Went walking and my back tightened so much I thought I was not going to make it home. What do you make of that? Also, every time I get up I can't put weight on my left foot right away, feels like it's broken & turned in.This, combined with fibromyalgia is stealing my life away. I do love watching you guys though and do what stuff I can when it doesn't hurt.

I have the same problem sometimes where as walking doesn't help a sore back no matter how slow or paying attention to correct gait. I don't know what the answer is as it could be a combination of things such as tight hips, legs or other muscles in the chain causing or in conjunction with a herniated disc etc. I would quit walking and concentrate on stretches, correct movements and sleeping posture outlined in other vids to get to a point where later walking would be more of a physical maintenance thing.

I went on a ship cruise and I noticed that I my walking pace got slower and slower and then I had some pain put it got so bad I had back spasms and couldn't even move. I think my body was working to hard as the ship rocked side to side.

i have cervical stenosis spinal stenosis too when he stood up and leaned up a went ouch could actually feel the electric shock ,my 1st ep i was crawling on my hand and knee now seems i get it 4 to 5 wee after it get better ok this is back ,but the nerve pain i baf nothing takes that pain away

Thank you. This I really needed today but for one strange reason my body wanted warmth so I used a hot water bottle instead of ice. Can't straighten up today and exercise is hurting me a lot but they need to be done.
