  • Can you suggest if this exercise will help in reducing spondylitis pain

  • This is so helpful. I have less pain than I did just before I did three of these decompression exercises!

  • is spinal alignment and spinal decompression the same thing?

  • @7150285 no decompression stretches while alignment is more about adjusting the position....

  • @kcannone which one should you do first if your spine is mis-aligned and compressed?

  • @7150285 Hello, obviously we can't give specific medical advice, but decompressing creates more space and reduces pressure. That would be a good place to start. Of course, consult your physician:)

  • can you do this everyday?

  • @graven101 everyone will need to determine how often they should do it, but yes you can do it everyday. Thanks

  • @graven101 yes you can....

  • Thanks for this tip, the numbness in my thumbs just left, and i finally feel hopeful.

  • What if the muscles of your lower back and sprained strecthing like this makes the lower back muscles strain even more. This actually made my lower back hurt more and I felt nerves shooting like mini bolts of lightning all over my body including my wrisit for 2 days straight.

  • @shubroto81 your body may not be ready for this stretch. Obviously, we don't diagnose everyone's individual condition. Consult your physician to see if you are able to these type of stretches.. Thanks

  • Thanks I have a spine n neck problem n will be trying this too.

  • Dr. WIley, I am curious if you think it might be easier for most to maintain the arm position with the arms on a wall while performing the movement. Also since the motion only flexes the posterior spine, what might you recommend for an anterior spinal extension in conjunction with this demo?

  • cool .. but i can't go all the way down without bending my knees a bit.

  • Why 9 times? How did you come up with that? As opposed to 5 times? Or 6, 7, or 8?
