I am a personal trainer with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Always great to see others bringing awareness and tips for AS! Thanks!

I have had JRA since I was 19 months old. And I was diagnosed with AS when I was 17. I am 47 now and have learned so much from you about my conditions and how to stay mobile. Thank you so much for what you do, I really appreciate it.

This is seriously a summary of everything from the last eight weeks of physical therapy, plus some I haven't seen before, but definitely look helpful. I haven't been diagnosed with AS, but it's on the docket for testing. In the meantime, I'm trying my best to keep from getting any worse. This is $560 worth of information right here! So thankful for the most famous physical therapists sharing all of their knowledge!

I was just complaining about my AS pain and your video popped up! I like all the upper torso stretches that help my spine and ribs. I feel like I can breathe better.

Hi from the UK. Love your channel. Found the Achilles and knee pain treatments you gave in previous videos really good. Not injured but just the odd ache from these areas after running.

Not just America, gobally. Hi from Singapore. Thanks Bob & Brad for your channel, you guys are awesome.

You guys are still going strong and on that daily upload grind 💪 Keep it up fellas.

I have had AS for several years now and just found this video recently. I have been doing a few of these stretches/exercises before bed for just over a week and my SI joints have been barely bothering me the past few days! Thank you so much!

what other symptoms have u had with AS? I had back pain in my right side for years and docs could never figure out what it was. had mris, x-rays, ct scans and they never saw anything. I was still active in sports and working out but never had any other issues until last august I suddenly developed joint pains and swelling then neck issues and my symptoms or condition seem to go into warp speed. after 4 months of severe pain and sleepless nights i suddenly started losing weight. in just 5-7 months i went from 160lbs of muscle to 130lbs skin and bones and widespread inflammation causing all kinds of issues i never had or experienced before. its also aged me like 15 years turning most of my hair white. from 35% grey to 90%. im 48 and now look almost 68 something just made this illness accelerate. thought maybe i had covid but tests were negative. those pcr tests are not reliable anyway. this is a nightmare. my body just randomly freaks out. woke one morning about 4 months ago with blister/ bunion type swelling on the outside of my feet below pinky toe ball of foot area and they never went away. every morning i get up is like walking on marbles, one on each foot

Thank you so much for this, ive only recently found your channel and have had AS for 10+ years. Its still a struggle to sometimes find good informative ideas to try and having ideas from a different country is even better for giving us more options. Best wishes from Australia 💜

Hello sir....I am diagonosed with AS Can continue my gym exercise? Please help me....is there any problem going to gym

Good experience

THANK YOU FOR THIS. Anything for hypermobile Eds patients soon? Like with the head to side stretch.. j can touch my shoulder with my ear but I know that must be bad, how can i adjust those stretches for a hypermobile body And still get the benefits? Exercises, diy adjustments for hypermobile, bracing, taping, anything... lol We are constantly sublexated everywhere and can't afford to live at the physical therapist or chiropractors to correct every random sublixation of the shoulder, rib, pelvis, knee, etc lol.

I have AS + fluid in knees which I have to inject out can u suggest some exercise for that.....4 AS video thanks a lot

I have AS that has been left unchecked for years and now my posture is very poor( ie bent at knees. head leans forward after c1-c2 surgically fused and back hunched over)i have just been informed that my si joints have fused my question is if you could help- is it possible to regain a somewhat normal posture again with these exercises and stretches or can it become a permanent thing also i have a left knee replacement and a valgus right knee waiting replacement what muscle do i need to work to correct and strengthen my leg?

First you guys are great I have been a subscriber for quite a while. There is a note that should have been made here. These exercises are really for people in the preliminary to medium stages. People, such as myself, in advanced stages where my back and rib cage are totally fused could get some severe damage (broken back about 3 dozen times now ) , I have been hurt by pt that just did not understand. I’m not trying to take away from your good work but when you get to the point where your back is a single bone it’s not going to flex anymore it will just break. I myself used an inversion table and yoga to help me combat this , same exercise. What would be nice for us advanced people is some guidance with ems. Since we have parts of body that cannot move anymore the muscles that once moved don’t or get very little use. I have been experimenting with this and in addition to getting pain reduction my back and core feels stronger. But I guess at where I place on the back (can’t twist) and even looking at charts am unsure of my placement. After going through a bunch of ems that were more tens I found a company compex that is proving to be a strong enough unit. Thanks again guys.

Bob and Brad OR others … Is there a BACK BRACE available for helping a person with AS that will assist in proper posture ? Thank you !

5:49 I have quite a bit of stiffness and am currently unable to raise up onto my elbows when I lie flat on my stomach. Is that something that might get easier as I become more flexible? I do have some fusion, but I feel like my muscles might also play a part in it as they’re not used to going in that direction

Hey guys, was wondering if you could help me with something. Recently, I've been getting neck pain that only occurs in a particular range of motion. I have no issues flexing or extending my neck from a neutral position. But, when my neck is already in a hyperflexed position, and then I slowly start extending it to make it return back to a neutral position, I feel a sudden sharp pinching pain in my neck, specifically at one particular spot on the left aspect of my cervical spine. I do not experience pain in moving my neck from a neutral position into hyperextension or in movement from neutral to hyperflexion. I have no pain with any other movements of my neck. But, any time I put my neck in a hyperflexed position and then begin extending back my neck either to neutral position OR when I have my neck in a hyperflexed position and then I start looking to the left, I experience this SHARP PINCHING PAIN at a specific spot in my cervical spine, namely on the left aspect. This pain started about ten days ago, with sudden onset. I wouldn't say it's getting worse, I think it's been getting very slightly better (which I attribute to my focusing on fixing my neck posture since this pain has started), but it's still there though. I have had no history of trauma, and I'm young in my twenties with no chronic medical conditions, and I do not have history of arthritis. What I have noticed though, is that since about a month or so, my neck posture has been horrible, with my neck protruding forward away from my body's axis. It was this pain issue that has prompted me to fix my neck postioning and i have been doing that recently (and I've greatly benefited from your videos on that topic). I don't know if this is a common problem or if it's something I should be worried about and get checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx and keep your awesome videos coming :)

sharon kailimai - I was diagnosed with AS about 6 years ago and looking back I believe I've had it for many years, I'm 55. Anyway I was finding it very difficult to stand up straight I was leaning forward which as you know just makes your back pain worse. A physical therapist advised that stretching my hip flexors and hamstrings along with the exercises they demonstrated would help. I'd recommend if at all possible to seek a physical therapist to at least get you started. I feel for you as I understand how bad it is when you have no energy and you're suffering trying to do the simplest things like sitting (my sacral prevents me from being seated for very long) and standing. I hope you can get some help, for me I've been very blessed and found some great people that helped me get on a program that's made it better. Meaning I can stand pretty straight and my balance feels pretty good (of course this is under the circumstances). If you're unable to get help from a PT, perhaps you start slowly with these exercises and get a resistance band you can find videos on here that'll show you how to stretch. Just slow and easy. Best of luck to you I hope you find some relief.

@@18618madeinamerica started having tight hips for years and right side mid back pain that never showed anything on scans or mri. stretching out and massaging hip flexors really does help. unfortunately I just was diagnosed earlier this year with AS after sudden onset of pain and inflammation last august which seemed to accelerate my condition from me being able to still exercise and workout to losing over 30lbs and barely functioning in a few months. now just skin and bones I barely recognize myself. this has been a nightmare the pain i’ve been through and still going through. the randomness of this illness. i could be feeling ok one day and barely be able to move hrs later. Ot has released affected my neck arms and hands and mostly digestion causing malabsorption issues which probably lead to the weight loss. I too believe I’ve had this developing for over 20 years but symptoms were so far and few in between u would never connect the dots. I also suffered and still do severe insomnia for decades and it got even worse when this covid bs started. I think being stressed may have triggered something that sent it into overdrive
