@TheJambo1982 I would say come visit me but I'm in Louisville, KY…
I have been able to help people with similar symptoms as yours - most recently a physician from Hobart, Australia. But, before you spend any money, let me determine if I can help you by more thoroughly understanding and assessing your condition. Go to BackPainReliefSecrets website above and add /assessment

Great video! Thank you! I've had unbelievable neck problems for years culminating in a c5/6 discectomy with fusion in 2002. I've been blessed to never have low back problems. Until today! Suddenly I'm driing and I have terrible sciatica pain in my right butt cheek. It gets progressivly worse and approximately an hour later my calf muscle is tingly, tickly and weak and my ankle is totally numb. The whole damn leg is numb. I cannot imagine what would cause this and I'm very worried. Help?
@sreevesrich Go to BackPainReliefSecrets (link on this page) and look into the 4 step process for ending your pain. Also check out my other videos on piriformis syndrome and sciatica @PainReliefSecret
I have to admit that is amazing...Ive been taking Rx ibuprofen and other pain relievers but this stretch gave almost instant relief! Thank you so much!
@elvis4all You're very welcome. If you need any additional help, hop on over to my back pain relief channel @PainReliefSecrets. Glad to help you in any way I can.
@dirtyankee Yes, order of exercises is critical in order for them to be effective. You might want to refer to @PainReliefSecrets for more informational videos or my website, listed on this page.
thank you so much for this - I was in much pain 4 and a half years and could not afford a back specialist. The pain was so bad that I had a lapse of sense and attempted suicide in January. I just could not take it any more. Luckily my son found me and called an ambulance. The nurse at the hospital recommended this video - I tried the exercises and within 4 days of doing them, the pain was almost completely gone.. after 2 weeks I feel no pain at all. In a way - You saved a life with this video.
This is Dr. Brian Prieto of Prieto Chiropractic & Spinal Decompression and I have a DRX9000 spinal decompression unit in my office for the past 6 years in Yorba Linda, Orange County. Glad to see some education on sciatica, great job!
Check out Dr. Hal Martin, he operates piriformis arthroscopically and has great success rate compared to previous methods. I am trying to get the word out and hope other sufferers do also so this becomes more main stream!!!! Tell your doctors, look at the improvements with surgery in only the past 4 years, lets keep it up!
I did this and it works i'm going to show the doc this tomorrow when i go in.....i'm shocked it works. Why has none of the specialist shown this to me before instead of injecting me. Great work guys
I have suffered sciatica for the last 8 years and usually get it feb/march ive been like an old man getting up for the last 4 days geting in/out of work van tryed last night b4 bed and feelin a lot beter today not 100% but this has really helped take most the strain off my back thanks your a star
I usually get sciatica feb/march time every year and suffer back pain when getting up i have been suffering for the last 4 days walkin like an old man everytime i get out my works van found this and tryed iy before i went to bed last night and felt a lot beter today not 100% but im finding it a lot easyer today i will try n do this at least once a day thanks
Thank You!!! I had been in unbelievable pain for a week, felt like I was sitting on a ball on my left side. I could not lay down, stand or sit to relieve the pain. I found this online and did this, could not believe the relief! It is amazing! Thank You so much!!!!
Strangely enough, I got my pain from doing yoga (probably forward bends, from the waist). But the first exercise is actually a yoga pose, the pigeon pose. And the second is also very similar to a yoga stretch.
Just fantastic. I have been immobilised with this pain and yet it has just disappeared after trying this exercise. Glad I didn't have to suffer for years before I found your advice. Thank you
i want to thank this user who post this video, you help me alooot man, thank you very much, I hope from God to show you and give you the best way and be beside you always ..... you are the best ....jazak alaho khayran ....
i have had a six week sciatic spell and dhc, ibuprofen and naproxen arnt helping. first time trying both these excercises and it definately eased pain for a short while. will try to do this 3-4 times a day. many many thanks
Is a pins and neeldes feelin on ONE side of your body (for me left) a sign of sciatica? The pain is constant. My left leg also feels weaker than the right. Is this sciatica? PLEASE HELP!
When doing the first exercise it is very difficult for me because my hip is extremely sore hence the reason I have this problem on the left hand side.
I have fought back pain for the majority of my life, spending thousands of dollars on physical therapy, chiropractors, and pain medicines.
Recently I have found by far the best, most economical help ever. Going through this routine every morning has changed my life drastically for the better.
Thanx so much for posting this exercise!! I have been unemployed for 3 years and have no medical insurance and was in severe pain until I decided to google "sciatica nerve pain." I can't say thank you enough!! I have tried them and have slept peacefully for the past 5 nights!!! I do them at least 3 times a day!! Thanx again!! You are helping alot of people be free of this pain!!
I'm giving this a bash, I'll try anything to get rid of this pain. I'm a full time carer for my dad (who's paralyzed from chest down and partially sighted ) and I'm always on the go and lifting him/turning him/ajusting him. I suffered from sciatica last year and it lasted about 5 weeks, but I'm sure it's this piriformis thing and nothing major, I'm getting the pain at the left side going down my left leg and into my knee, so I'm going to try this and see how it goes. Cheers!
Amazing!! I have had back hip leg and knee pain the last two weeks, I finally looked up why all this hurt and I ran across Sciatica, So I tried this exercise out and amazingly the shooting pain in my hip and leg went away. Thank you!!!
This stretch gave me immediate relief, thank you! I've been trying stretches to loosen up the area and relieve the pain, but this is the only one that worked.
For two weeks I've been experiencing horrible pain from my hip all the way down to my feet. I went to the doctor etc. Took celebrex..IBp...no luck. I just tried this out for a few days twice a day...I feel 90% better...Unreal! Thanks doc.
i am a doctor by profession i have use it on my regular patients n got good results this exercise is very effective plz upload more exercises keep it up...............
Great stretch and exercises. Adding head movement into your 90/90 exercise can increase movement of the sciatic nerve as well. This can also be done seated too!
could be a dangerous position to get into if the sciatica is simply coming from a bulging disc at the spine... too much flexion... although a great exercise if it is coming from the piriformis (a small percentage of people)
@warner003 Not entirely true. Although patient selection is obviously critical, in most cases of stenosis, degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, etc, this exercise can be used as the piriformis is often tight in this patient population.
I can't thank you enough. I found almost immediate relief from doing these stretches and exercises. I have been suffering from Sciatica for some time now. It is nearly unexplainable to those who do not suffer this condition. I thought I was a smart guy and could figure this out on my own, actually I did, but with your help and Youtube. Thank You!
This worked for me, had numbness and lower back was hurting, walking bent forward, after a massage a couple of pain pills and doing this , I was like new , after a nights rest and doing it a few times the next day..5 stars, I tried everything only this worked...
I have being hurting for so long with this pain and so I decided to look up some ways to help my sciatica pain and I came across your video, and I followed your stretch exercise and it worked I did it twice and it helped me right away I will continue doing it my pain is not so bad now, I also put some ice on my back and also helped thanks for helping me with my pain will continue doing this from now on. God bless you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have been pain for two weeks. I just did your exercise and the pain was immediately alleviate. It went from 9 to 1/2. Thank you!. I will do this twice a day from now on.
i've been in agony unable to walk without hip/leg pain for a week, i'm not sure if i have sciatica, but this exercise surely relieved my pain. thanks for posting

between doin this stretch and a few i saw in another video im already noticing a MASSIVE difference. amazing what a quick youtube search can do. definitly will put this into my daily routine. hopefully ill be back in the disc ring sooner than i thought! thanks!

I am home from work today due to very bad sciatica. I was dubious that I could even get into this position at the moment but thought it was worth a try. My sciatica is instantly 50% better, the first real relief I've had in 2 days! THANK YOU!!!!!
Wow this seems to help!!! After 5 years of constant pain due to discushernia i stumbled upon this video,did the exercise and i feel tremendous relief. Thanks!!!!!
Thank you for posting!!!! Instant relief with this exercise. I have been dealing with sciatica for years. Had lower back surgery 12 years ago due to this and this exercise is very effective. Thank you for posting!!!!!!!!!!
Im pregnant and have been so disappointed in the severity of the pain that i had to give in and take tylenol 3s, as of right now im not going to take them any more and continue with these stretches as they are relieving me more than the pills without putting any strain on my baby
This is very useful. I was in AGONY the whole morning with Sciatic Nerve pain.
I can feel this exercise does the right thing. It has already given me some relief. With repeating this I think I can slowly stretch up piriformis muscle in the next couple of days.
@AustinPowers215 If the piriformis is very irritable, it can light up the sciatica. A less aggressive stretch is advised or, if the pain persists, injection therapy is often advocated. Check out my other videos @PainReliefSecrets
This is absolutely ridiculous exercise being demonstrated by people who have no real idea beyond theory what's involved with real sciatica.
This is not addressing the real issues at all but the good news is that people in this sort of pain will try this once and unlikely continue with it anyway.
Thanks for the video. I've had a pain at the bottom of my back and all the way down my leg for the past few days. I did these exercises a couple of times and I have already experienced major relief. Thank you very much!
This is an amazing exercise. I have saved myself many chiropractic visits since I started doing this stretch. If I feel the sciatic pain, I do this exercise a few times a day until the pain is gone. Sometimes it only takes two days. And feel some relief immediately.
Wow, it's good to get a refresher on my stretches. This one worked out great for me. Thanks for doing this Doc, showcasing this online for all of us who need help. Thank you thank you thank you.
@xxFlghterXxx Possibly. I've used it on patients who have had a diagnosis of coccydenia. These people had, in addition, a tight piriformis and the exercise was effective. Check out my other videos @PainReliefSecrets
Thank you so much! I am not sure whether it was sciatica what i experienced, not even the doctors knew...but after doing the first exercise i was feeling great, completely pain free, after a week of continuous pain. Thank you so much for posting this!
this HELPED ME A LOTTTTTTTTT.... didnt COMPLETELY take my pain away because i have a disc herniataion which was causing teh sciatica which tightened my piriformis..but the mobility has increased with this EXERCISE...THANK YOU
Very informative video, thank you for posting it up. Stretching your back is very important to ease up back pains. I use a G2 back stretch mat everyday and it makes my life a whole lot better
I'm 20 years old, full-time college student and EMT. Began experiencing horrible back pain last year that progessively worsened. Stumbled upon this video, tried the stretches and I've been pain free since. Sitting to study and working on the ambulance is much easier. Thank you
That first stretch is amazing! Really really helps relieve the pain, providing your not having an attack, then of course just rest and do stretches like this when your in recovery. Cant reccomend this enough.
wow! thanks.. for 3 days my sciatic nerve hurts everytime i walk and bend.. i often have this problem almost every 6 months.. your exercises are very effective.. thank you thank you thank you! -ken from philippines.
holy damn this guy aint lying this is better than he knows i have been with a pinch nerve for a few months now im 18 and need to be in top shape i couldnt work out becuase of the pain but just one workout relived so much of the pain thank u so much!
I've had Sciatica for the past 6 years but over the last 6 weeks it's got worse.I thought I'd try your exercises.Did them one day,felt ok.Did them again the next day and my back ceased up.I'm now in 10 times more pain and I can't walk properly! I wish I'd never tried them at all.
@JohnnyBlitz77 If the piriformis is very irritable, this exercise will not be effective and may well exacerbate the symptoms. If this is the case, injection therapy is preferred
voila....thanks fr the person who upload this awesome vedio...i had been suffering fr last 6 months..cudn't walk properly...cudnt sleep evn.....and just one sitting of this exercise gave me a drastic relief....god bless:-)
as an update , I've been doing this before I go to bed and when I wake,this is helped tremendously!! unreal something so simple can help that much! I've been to the point I almost couldn't walk! and this exercise has done wonders! I've even noticed I take deeper breaths now, maybe because I'm less tense.THANK YOU once again!
holy hell! this seems to be working!! I already feel less pressure and pain on my hip from trying this! THANK YOU! I've been going INSANE with hip pain that travels to my feet and having a hard time with mobility,so far this has really helped!!
I cannot believe that I went through X-rays and gallons of pain relief medications just to find, on youtube, a exercise that helped me in 30 seconds. It's shocking that all these qualified doctors I went to didn't know this!

I am home from work today due to very bad sciatica. I was dubious that I could even get into this position at the moment but thought it was worth a try. My sciatica is instantly 50% better, the first real relief I've had in 2 days! THANK YOU!!!!!

Im pregnant and have been so disappointed in the severity of the pain that i had to give in and take tylenol 3s, as of right now im not going to take them any more and continue with these stretches as they are relieving me more than the pills without putting any strain on my baby

This is very useful. I was in AGONY the whole morning with Sciatic Nerve pain.
I can feel this exercise does the right thing. It has already given me some relief. With repeating this I think I can slowly stretch up piriformis muscle in the next couple of days.

I did this stretch and it made my sciatica worse, anyone know why?
AustinPowers215 2 years ago
@AustinPowers215 If the piriformis is very irritable, it can light up the sciatica. A less aggressive stretch is advised or, if the pain persists, injection therapy is often advocated. Check out my other videos @PainReliefSecrets

thank you so very much . I endured pain all this time .... This helped ease my pain. Thank you once again...

This is absolutely ridiculous exercise being demonstrated by people who have no real idea beyond theory what's involved with real sciatica.
This is not addressing the real issues at all but the good news is that people in this sort of pain will try this once and unlikely continue with it anyway.

This is an amazing exercise. I have saved myself many chiropractic visits since I started doing this stretch. If I feel the sciatic pain, I do this exercise a few times a day until the pain is gone. Sometimes it only takes two days. And feel some relief immediately.

would this also work for coccydania?
xxFlghterXxx 2 years ago
@xxFlghterXxx Possibly. I've used it on patients who have had a diagnosis of coccydenia. These people had, in addition, a tight piriformis and the exercise was effective. Check out my other videos @PainReliefSecrets

I'm 20 years old, full-time college student and EMT. Began experiencing horrible back pain last year that progessively worsened. Stumbled upon this video, tried the stretches and I've been pain free since. Sitting to study and working on the ambulance is much easier. Thank you

That first stretch is amazing! Really really helps relieve the pain, providing your not having an attack, then of course just rest and do stretches like this when your in recovery. Cant reccomend this enough.

I've had Sciatica for the past 6 years but over the last 6 weeks it's got worse.I thought I'd try your exercises.Did them one day,felt ok.Did them again the next day and my back ceased up.I'm now in 10 times more pain and I can't walk properly! I wish I'd never tried them at all.
JohnnyBlitz77 2 years ago
@JohnnyBlitz77 If the piriformis is very irritable, this exercise will not be effective and may well exacerbate the symptoms. If this is the case, injection therapy is preferred

I cannot believe that I went through X-rays and gallons of pain relief medications just to find, on youtube, a exercise that helped me in 30 seconds. It's shocking that all these qualified doctors I went to didn't know this!
