What is spinal stenosis

@jamesherrera1581

Жыл бұрын

Spinal stenosis symptoms were eliminated or reduced?

I have been diagnosed with lumber stenosis and recently had surgery on my back to decompress my spinal chord.and it has been successful... The hospital's physiotherapy department insisted that I carry out these type of exercises and although they can interfere with routine life, they are beneficial. ..

Six months since my operation and although the area is tender, no significant pain.. The surgeon indicated that no stenosis exists..

Thank you Mike for your videos. These are the exercises I do with at my Physical Therapy twice a week. I appreciate your instructions.

Hi Mike, just did your lumbar spine exercises and felt great afterward. Neither my back nor my hip hurt right now. I'm pretty active but the last hike I did on uneven snowy trails caused me a lot of hip pain, and x-rays showed the lumbar scoliosis. Hoping exercises like the ones you post will help me get back to normal. Thanks for posting your videos. I like your exercises for upper body with weights as well.

I'm so thankful that I found this video. Thank you so much.

Thank you! I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis a while ago, but these are the first exercises I’ve tried. You use such a nice pace it was very encouraging.

Thank you Mike for these useful exercises for Lumbar Stenosis.

My husband was actually complaining of his usual debilitating lower back pain today. I enticed him to join me again in doing your lumbar stenosis exercises. Lo and behold after the exercise he said his lower back pain is gone! Can you believe it? I also noted that after doing 3 posture exercises exercises this afternoon, the pain I feel (I got bursitis in both hip joints ) when I do upper cross legs sitting position bending down, is actually getting lessened. Thank the Lord I found your exercises. Great work Mike you are helping a lot of seniors not only in Australia but around the world.

Great to hear! 🙂

I just reviewed this video and, with the exception of the bridges, I found myself relaxing more and more just watching. , I'm familiar with all these moves, having found that they're all excellent, and feel oh so good! I do bridges regularly because I have spondilolisthesis (L5, S1) which pinches my sciatic nerve, after having suffered 3 bouts of painful and extended events which necessitate that I keep my core strong. This is a keeper simply because it's effective, even though I don't suffer from spinal stenosis, because it's truly relaxing and helpful. Again, my thanks Mike!...Anastasia

Thank U was great

Love it, Mike! I love the option of mat work (although I realize that it's very hard for some to do this), and more exercises to help with yet another aspect of aging. The overall combination that you provide in your videos of strength, stretching, cardio, etc. is exactly the right ticket for a balanced routine. It's taken me years to understand why we need this. With gratitude to you for not only explaining it all so well, but for providing the recipes!

Hi Jean! Happy 2022! Am 70 & had exercised on & off until I found More Life Health & Mike in Aug.2021. His concern for seniors & our overall well-being appealed to me & started exercising. I feel great now,although my back hurt just like yours do. All you need is to be persistant,consistant & when you don't feel like working out, ask: why not? What do I have to lose? As to balance & flexibility exercises, have you subscribed to the KZread channel? There are many such exercises! I promise you work out with Mike & you'll forget you're 80!

I took notes, Mike, on the important ideas with these exercises. Motive: my husband and I will do these tomorrow. Together. On our living room floor. As soon as he fiddles through 'morning stuff'. I am not kidding. My BFF avoids 'movement' -- and now he wonders 'why' his bones ache??? ! You can be certain: I will report the benefits from these exercises (I already know this), as to the crippling pains my compadre feels.

Hi, I am 62yo. I have a stenosis on my lower back. Most of the time I suffer from numbness on my R foot. The problem becomes more intense during my night sleep ( after 2-3 hours ). The above exercises r good but they will not help me get rid of the problem or minimise it. Thank you.

Hi, is it ok to do some chair excercise with custom orthopedic shoes? It's all I have as nothing else fits. They are kind of big with thick soles and they don't breathe. I also have crps in RIGHT foot. Back is spasming a lot. Numbness in left upper leg. Drs can not help and no money. Thanks
