Thanks GOD bless

Really love these exercises - they are perfect for me. Thanks so much x

Appreciate all the work you put into this video.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I will surely do them and make it part ofmy regimen!

Wow! I learned 2 new gentle stretches: hamstring stretch and palms on lower back. I do a LOT of sitting for work & the last 3 years & after hitting 60 I’ve noticed that my body isn’t able to cooe with being sedentary. Thankfully I was very active in sports & my muscles are remembering and reacting very positively & my lower back pain is responding well to these stretches coupled with back muscle toning exercises. Thank you for putting this video together.

Thanks Mike much appreciated your excersises are super Thanks from Ireland

You're very good at describing and demonstrating too.

Thanks, my first time doing this exercise and my back feels great thanks again

You are a lifesaver!

Thank you so much I feel so much better 😊😊😊😊😊

Dear child, bless you You are doing great job here...I am 61 year old citizen of Mumbai India, follow you and feel relaxed after doing all exercises you had shown in this video. ..big thank you dear child ... GBU..

Thank you, my back was really hurting and it was not improving on pain from when the pain began for over a week. Half way into the stretches I could feel the tension in my back release noticeably. Now I can make it to my job/hobby with a much more positive attitude. I will pull you up and do these stretches daily. Again thanks so much 🙏

Just to say it's an excellent routine. A couple of things. Tell older people they should do it all slowly. When they are standing their knees should be slightly bent. When sitting trying to touch their toes they should no lean on their knees. Health and safety is important especially for older people. They break easily and recovery is long. Otherwise, well done.

Thank you

Thanks, Mike. Had a lot of pain yesterday especially in the neck. I was cleaning for hours and obviously, my posture wasn't correct. This won't stop me from exercising. Have a nice day.

Hi Mike This is my first visit here and really enjoyed the video. I was wondering though if you have any exercises for tight hip joints? I think it was Exercise 6: Glute Medius stretch - 30 seconds each side that I tried to do and failed as I wasnt able to get my ankle over the other knee and stretch forward. My hip joint felt too tight. :(

Neighbours and family don't care if I live or die. Exercises for me I guess start at 9:23 as I cannot cross my legs. Impossible for me.. Thanks though. I am glad you were able to help others.

I have had piriformis syndrome quite severe for at least 30 years. I came to the point where I was going to request a steroid shot, but it's not just a simple shot as the piriformis is so deep. The exercises for that used to help, but they don't anymore. I now have arthritis in my tailbone and pretty intense pain from that. Sometimes it's hard to tell which one is hurting more. I sit a lot for my work and my posture needs improvement. Just doing these exercises along with you I could feel that it is hitting all the right spots!! I feel these two problems are closely related and just doing exercises for one is the reason why I'm not benefitting. Hoping I'm right, I'll be doing this video every day for 30 days. Hoping for the best!!

That sharp pain I was getting is gone now, but I'm sure that if I stop the exercises it will return. I would imagine that when a person sits for long periods of time, the vertebrae kind of collapse into each other from gravity pulling them down. I feel the most benefit from the exercises that stretch the spine a bit. Thanks for your video! I love your website too!

Hey Manijeh. I understand. Which is why I created a video for the back in the seated position for this reason. Here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ioh5yK5qYtPSmZs.html

A couple of your exercises have been prescribed to be by a physical therapist for muscle strengthening after surgery on my artificial hip, IT band lengthening and a trochanteric bursectomy. I have several other exercises also specifically for this hip. However, there has never been any mention to me by my surgeon or therapist regarding the lower back muscles which support the movement of the hip and I also have problems with the snapping of tendons or muscles in the groin area with one of my exercises, raising my leg straight up, with the knee bent, towards the ceiling to a 90 degree angle with the body. Based on this snapping and a couple other symptoms I've read about, this sounds like Hip Impingement to me. Also, my pelvic bone is tilted with the left side higher than the right which seems to me like the left leg is longer than the right. I know the X-ray sure looks strange When I walk, I have pain in the lower back and left buttock an my left knee tends to snap backwards in sort of a locked position. My therapy sessions are ended and I am on strictly at home therapy now. Any input?
