MIRACLE: On December 5, 2020 I was classified as an urgent patient due to severe spinal stenosis. I was able to walk only 20 meters with cane and I was limping. In March 2021 my osteopath suggested to push my spine spine back. The MRI showed my spine shifted forward. Also a bit of Spondy. At the same time I found these exercises as shown here. I exercised everyday. Started taking Collagen everyday 2 spoons. The result is a miracle. Now in September 2021, I walk daily 2-5 km. When the hospital finally called me 9 months later, they could not understand, that I do not want the operation. I am 67 year old male. Thank you very very much. You saved me from the operation.

I would dearly love to see Brad do a complete workout video for those of us with spondelolisthesis. I have both spondy and osteoporosis. I want to stay active in my retirement and want to do so safely.

This is exactly what I’m suffering from which has lead to 3 knee surgeries....just threw my back out over the weekend hooking up my cable....that’s how weak my back is....glad I saw today and gonna buy a ball to strengthen my core.....no surgery thanks Thank you bob and brad

These guys are great - I have been to numerous physios etc over the years , and these guys rock! They are thoughtful, logical, anatomically brilliant and their exercises work for me.

I have spondyliothesis and scoliosis. Thank you for showing us what exercises to do to help relieve the pain.

i just recently found out i have the same damn thing with pelvic shifting/imbalance?

Wow Brad, you’re a miracle. Inspiring!

Definitely going to start doing these...thank you!

You two men have really helped teach me the exercises that have helped my sciatica pain. I was in such pain, couldn't drive, couldn't sleep (still co-sleeping and breastfeeding a baby too) was really needing help. The chiropractor was NOT helping. After a few days following your advice on how to sleep, sit, drive in the right postions with the right support along with the exercises I was improving enough to stop feeling hopeless. 2 months later, hoping soon I can start running again. :) Thank you guys!

Can’t wait to try these today. Thank you guys

Thank you! I'm going to try those.

Thank you so much for these, Brad!!!

Always great advice!

Love this video!!

This video was great! Purchasing an excersie ball now.

Thank you!!

Braditude!! Love it - thanks for these videos - I’m going to give them a try today 🎉

I absolutely love these guys.

Thanks much .

nice and simple , thank you

I love your channel ♥️♥️

I have both spondy & stenosis & had my L4&L5 fused in 2015. But i did not know a neurosurgeon could, if necessary, do surgery for stenosis. I have saved this video and will try to find a ball. Thank you so much!

I wish we had had 2 bathrooms like you Brad - sharing a bathroom with a wife often entails getting yelled at because we men forget to raise the bloody seat or lower it when we have raised it ...

The help you guys give me and my chiropractic patients! Merry Christmas Love you guys. Great kind knowledgeable and cool, quite fun!

Thanks for doing this video. I have spondy and taking an active role in getting better

Thank you soooooo much😘 God bless U always!😚

My L4 and L5 look like yours on an x-ray, Brad. It must be L4 that you can see sticking out on my back when I sit. My dr. says they have fused so it won’t get any worse, but I’m having low back pain lately. I’ve been doing your other exercises but I like these on the ball much better. I’ve saved this video and will start doing these 3 times a week. Thank you so much.

Tnx for for the impo.

That felt great.

Hi Bob and Brad. I love the way you two explain the exercises. This set of exercises will definitely help me as I have stiff lower back. But at the moment I also have pain in the lower back. What precautions should I take to come out of this situation?

The TVA gets activated which as you've stated, is a "two for one" deal! You guys rock! Next time I'm in LaCrosse, I'll pop by for a beer or coffee.

Will have to get on the ball and do these, forgot about the one holding the ball with your legs and curling them up, will try tomorrow. Thank You for the instruction!

Bob & Brad, can you use a back swing if you have spondy? I've never heard any discussion on this. Thanks and great channel!!!

Good morning from Houston guys!!! I love your videos. I am using them right now bc I had meniscus surgery. But today Brad described exactly my condition, in fact , his xray looks exactly like my spine My L5 moved forward 20 mm... My question, recouping for meniscus surgery can i star doing spondy exercises ??

Thank you for these! Do you have alternatives without the ball?

I was shocked at the last set of exercises when Brad is pressing up….I thought this was a definite NO NO….I am suffering with spondylolisthesis and have intense hip pain currently and have to sleep with stuff jammed under my hips/thighs in bed….awful…keep waking up in intense pain and have to sit on heating pad to calm it down…love you guys Thanks for any help with spondylolisthesis

Hello Bob and Brad. I swim, but always tend to curl my left foot. I tend to get serious cramps and twice I have developed stress fractures in my foot. What can I do to eliminate the cramps? what stretching should I do to help?

Bob & Brad, what cardio do you recommend for those with L4, L5, S1 bulging discs?

I have spondy, and have been told I need surgery to fuse two vertebrae together using pins and a cage. I would like to avoid surgery if possible. I was recently informed about your channel and have been learning and following your exercise regime. My question is which kettle bell exercises, if any, could I do to help strengthen my back and core.

These are hard when you have a belly, but I will try anything. living with this for almost 40 years

First off, THANK YOU! secondly, I saw somewhere you were looking for someone to help with translation. If you send me the text, I'll translate it into French for you. I'd like to share it with back-problem groups here in France

Are there exercises that work for spondy if you have level 2 spondy and low level osteoporosis (-2.6 in low back)?

Thanks for the video. Is this safe to do if you have had a discectomy for a herniated disc at L5-S1 (as well as anterolisthesis), plus severe facet arthritis at L4-5?

Was diagnosed with Sciatica from l5-s1 back in the 80s after an accident, and now spondylolisthesis from l4-l5.... just wrap me in bubble wrap. I really miss walking. I used to walk a lot and now after 15 minutes on my feet I'm done. My PT told me to take a roll towel and put it behind my back when I sit. I guess that would be similar to that Contraption you use in your car?

Brad You are savage :-D

I’m looking for a good exercise to strengthen my core because I have 2 compression fractures and my back acts up something terrible at times. Because I was only 60, they didn’t do any cement to fill in the gaps.

Definitely don't mind implementing new spondy exercises into my routine, thanks!! I just wanted to ask about running...my dr. told me nothing high impact ever again...including running! I'm not a super severe case as he said he wouldn't suggest surgery. Why would this be?

I was told the same, but I assume it's very jarring on the spine. Sounds like if you build up your core you can get back to it like Brad did.

Will any of these exercises cause disc slippage?

Hello! Should my lower- mid back be flat with a pelvic tilt or neutral spine while doing the core work?

Hi Brad, I have spondy and due to this condition I have also torn the tendon in my gluteus medius making it painful to walk. I have been going to an osteopath and the treatment has helped somewhat, a year on the tendon has improved around 50% however,, some mornings the pain is debilitating taking up to an hour to be able to walk upright. I use to be able to walk 9km, now I'm lucky if I can walk 4km although I pay for it the next day. Any exercises that I can do to help with this??

Can I do toe taps until I get my ball?

I have spondy, stenosis, and FAI (with tear). I found out about all of them within a month or so. Good grief. I'm pretty active. I have to be conscious about everything exercise wise because you could help or hurt the other.

Hi. I had scheuermann's disease diagnosed in yr 2014. Now presently Dr said I have grade I spondylolisthesis of L5 over S1 with my previous disease. could you plz guide with exercises to ensure I don't end up worsening my condition by doing it wrongly... Regards

you guys are great no spin on it thanks for doing what you do after spending thousands of dollors on fake medical i realised enough is enough i have a grade 3 after sugery grade 1 bad decision on sugery thanks again for what you do

Can you do this with buldge disc as well

Thank you so much. But where can I find that balloon

Hi Bob and Brad my name is Ken and I suffered severely with spondylolisthesis and I have The L4 and L5 on a slipping off and now it feels like another one has shifted what would you suggest I do?

Quick question what size of ball do you use. Im 4 ft 11. I have this huge yoga ball i think is way too big.. also im not sure whether I have spondy due to my car accident couple of years ago or the fact i suddenly lost an inch and half i my height or i lost it because of the accident, but i just found out about the condition last week.. but i actually do not have much pain so im thankful... and hope to prevent that by implementing these exercises :)

can we do these for l5 s1 spondolsithsis

Thank you thank you finally my condition is being addressed I have the same location as Brad. I had xrays done and MRI's igo to my chiro he's terrific I used to go for PT . The Chiro works for me. Ps this condition happened to me when I was in college, and fell down the stairs. Thanks for the exercises Ann

Hi Ann! I just wanna ask how you’re doing having diagnosed with spondy? I was diagnosed having spondy and just found out about it recently and it scares the hell out of me. I just wanna know how did you cope up with it? Thanks!

Thank you! I have Spondylolisthesis L5-S1 im 27 yrs old. Just when I justarted doing marathons unfortunately I discovered I have that. 😔

When I have a flare up I can only stand hunched forward, I try to straighten but it takes several days before I can, I stay as mobile as possible even if it's just getting a drink of water, anything to keep moving because it's so tempting to do nothing and hope the pain goes away. I'm 74 and in my younger years I was a keen cyclist sometimes covering 100 miles on a Sunday ride,now however I need the assistance of an ebike to enable me to continue cycling.

Do you have more preventative exercise videos for spondylolysis so it doesn't become spondylothesis?

I feel helpless at times because of the pain, but I DO NOT WANT SURGERY!!! I am determined to work on this myself, can I do these exercises everyday?

Hey guys , I really love the way you explain the exercises. I am recently diagnosed with grade 1 listhesis . It pains very much after sitting for a prolonged period of time . I have started doing regular exercises. Can you please tell me does the pain improves ? And will I be able to sit for long periods pain free ?

Thanks guys appreciate the video at this time as I had a severe covid19 and I suffer from spondy. Laying down and sleeping for so long messed me up even more, lots of pain plus the virus so it was all agony. Now that I'm recovering will try these exercises.

Thank you Bob and Brad for all your videos. I´ve been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis grade 2 from L5-S1. It has been degenerative since a few years ago i was grade 1, i´ve been with some doctors and they all recommend surgery . Im afraid that later it can go as to grade 3. What are your opinions about it?

At 37 I have a 15 MM slip and it SUCKS, I'm probably in better shape than most people my age. I've wrestled and weightlifted all my life. I don't want surgery but I'm out of options.

I'm better now but used to bend over and get stuck. It's really bad when you're getting something off of the lower shelves at the grocery store.

hello, is it possible for the vertebrae to move back with these exercises? I have spondylolisthesis grade 1-10mm. I am a mountain runner, I am interested if there is a possibility that I can still run. Now I walk up the hill twice a week, I go down the hill by car.
