What is Spinal Stenosis? Spinal Stenosis is basically when the space where the nerves come out of the spine start to narrow. This can put pressure on the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves that go out to the body. The pressure on the nerves can cause the pain and numbness mentioned earlier. These stretches and exercises might help for the low back area.
A seated pelvic tilt is a great exercise and a stretch. It does a great job of loosening up the area and warming up the muscles.
A seated rolldown and a seated trunk rotation help stretch the spine in different directions to help open up the spaces in the spine.
Finally, a seated hip flexor stretch and seated figure 4 stretch help relax the muscles in the hip and pelvic area that might be putting pressure on the spine. Getting these areas more flexible should help relieve the pain.

The first time I did some of these excercises for my lumbar spinal stenosis I felt less pain in my lower back and thighs where I hurt, thank you for sharing these excercises

Good to see the variation on the figure four 👍🤗cause I usually get so discouraged cause I’m so weak and stiff at the moment I can’t get my leg over my knee and I really need the piriformis stretch!❤

The more I see these videos, the more I'm convinced I did an excelente choice by starting to do pilates a few years ago. It must be the reason why I suffer so much less from low back pain
