I began walking to get back into shape after a herniated disc put me out of work for four months. My aim was to get into shape to start running again, as I had been a runner my whole life. To my great surprise and joy, I fell in love with walking and never went back to running. That was four years ago and I've remained back pain free ever since. Great advice on this topic. Walk, walk, walk, then walk some more if you having back issues. Walk on, Frank

Guys this is solid advice what they're giving here for back pain and sciatica. I literally healed all of my pain once I started a strict regimen of walking for 20 minutes a day on a treadmill for 5 days a week for two years straight. Not only did I heal my back significantly to a greater range of mobility, but I also lost tons of weight at the same time.

I love walking around my neighborhood...it's fun to look at yards and talk to neighbors. Just listening to you both will remind me to walk straight! You guys are the greatest and hope you both have a happy and healthy holiday season!!!! đâđâ

I love your theme songđ and always thankful for the sciatica tips

All of what you say is good. I also understand how easy it is to get somewhat sidetracked when talking about this subject because each individual and their situation is unique. My wife recently had low back surgery and one of the things that have really helped her is the Nordic Walking Poles. Her posture is so much better and the muscles employed in gait are starting to come back on line. The walker she used was good to a point but her posture was terrible. Invest in good Nordic Walking Poles!

Every time I try to walk to lose weight my back kills me. And I have to stop. I'm overweight. I'm 5'8 and 265LBS I'm happy I came across this video

Yesterday I went for walk after watching this video.. I got relief for around 2 hrs. Thanks.

Iâm literally on the verge of crying thank you!! The weird thing is the pain never radiates/shoots down my leg leaving the sharp pain on my lower back... So bad I canât afford an mri yet to pinpoint this pain!

I have 9 mm herniated disc at L5-S1 level. These tips are amazing and pretty helpful. My pains decreased significantly.

Part of what i do for a living involves a lot of walking (dogs) up to 35 miles a week. My jobs have been canceled all year (Covid). I have been really sedentary much of the time for 9 months. I had extreme sciatica pain a few years ago - got the shot. I've been good until a couple months ago. I watched this video. I checked my posture with a broom stick, took a long, faster paced walk. Wow! I walked over 2 miles and didn't have to stop to sit down once! Amazing! ,,,,i believe i was having to stop before because my posture stunk and i was walking slow because of pain. Here i go...watching more of your sciatica videos tonight. You're my two most FAVORITE physical therapists anywhere!

Also deep squats feel great! I do that throughout the day and it relieves pressure. But I can't always do that while walking!

Thank you for your video, guys! My 11 year-old son is autistic (Asperger's) and has low muscle tone. Getting him to exercise is difficult at best; often he will go into a meltdown if I ask him to do something new or that he doesn't want to do. He likes walking on the treadmill - I first got him to do that by letting him watch YouTube videos while walking; it's the only form of exercise he'll consistently do. Could you help me find some ways to help my son?
