    I threw my back out 3 days ago. Been completely immobile, worst pain of my life, couldn’t more or stand up since it happened. Last night I did all your stretches , and it was painful and took a long time but I woke up this morning and have a lot of relief. Thank you so much ❤

    I'm 31, and threw out my back this morning from coughing. 😶 I'm glad I found your video.

    I “threw out” my back yesterday as I was shoveling snow here in PA. It took me by surprise, as I’d been shoveling for like an hour when it happened. It hurt so bad I thought I might pass out. I was home alone and very scared as I’d lost so much mobility instantly. After assessing that I didn’t seriously injure myself I came across your video and implemented these steps right away and they helped me SO MUCH. I was shocked that I was able to stand up on my own and go up/down stairs by the end of the day based on the pain and how immobile I’d been hours before. I’m so grateful to this video. Thank you so much for making it.

    I'm 31, exercise daily, eat super healthy and I threw out my back. I was terrified, I've had a baby with no pain meds and at least with that pain I knew it would end and I'd have a baby at the end haha, with this pain it was excruciating and had no end in sight. I'm the main care giver to my 4 young children and have no help, my husband had to take 2 days off and was looking at a third which we can't afford I did these twice, I had my husband do the massage part and I'm up and moving. I sat up put of bed on my own! This was a life saver, thank you, thank you so much Update- spent 2 days in pain where I couldn't move and found this video the 2nd night and started. Day 3 was up and moving but could really only stand for 3-5 minutes, I spent the day doing these and other exercises and heat therapy. Today is day four and I'm on my feet more then not. Theres definitely still pain and I have to take rests but I'm able to do tasks with no help. Stick with this, be consistent ❤

    I first watched this video saying to myself "this guy is outta his mind, I can't do that!", after doing only the first 2 stretches, I can actually get up out of a sitting position without yelping in pain! haha This man is a genius. :)
  • I swear to God, your exercises really helped me out with my lower back. I don’t often write comments but I believe you deserve a lot a lot of respect mate. Thanks a lot for sharing such videos

    Oh man, this video was like magic. I threw my back out sometime last week & I could barely move for the last 4-5 days. It was my first time having any issues with my back so I had no idea what was going on. The early portion of the video to identify what it means to "throw out your back" was spot on, so I followed along. Now it feels like an 80% improvement. I had previously made an appointment with a chiropractor for tomorrow afternoon. I'll still go, but just to make sure everything is on the right track. Thanks so much.
  • Oh my! This is going to the top of my list of favorite back videos! You are so generous to take the time to make this excellent video. I hurt my back just getting out of a recliner to fast. It hurt so bad I could not walk, had to crawl to get to the bathroom. I thought I herniated a disc. I was scared to death. I've been in bed for 3 days icing my back, just getting weaker. After you described the symptoms I knew it was a lumbar strain not a herniation. That was relieving. I did some of the exercises and after about the 2nd time doing them I could walk straight for a few minutes. I did them every few hours for the rest of the day and I am 70% better. I will continue this till I can walk and bend normally. I am 70 years old so it may take a little longer but I won't give up. Blessing to you for being such a caring doctor.❤

    threw my back out this morning making my bed, had a full day of motocross planned but making my bed literally put me on the floor unable to move in pain. After a few hours I found this video and did all the steps. I"m at least able to walk around the house now and will continue doing these stretches/movements that I have already noticed worked wonders. Thanks!
  • @AnsariBaksh
    Thank you for sharing this. Threw my back out a few days ago and have just been resting it. But it's such a slow road to recovery. You described the symptoms perfectly. I'm going to start on these today. 😃
  • Phenomenal. I’m in the military and do a highly physical and life or death job. Today was a push through day and I had no idea what to do. Thank you sir. This worked wonders
  • @amandawiese2752
    Helped bring me relief the first day! Pain moved a bit further down my back the next morning but was better. By the second day I was able to do much more! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
  • This video was a life saver, threw my back out picking up my 70 LB son . I have a lot of events coming up this week and needed to recover quickly. Thank you ! Definitely saving this video for the future.

  • I had severe back spasm which was unbearable for 1-2 days I was on medications but still felt no improvement but after I followed this video my pain was disappeared and I had no need of a single tablet again!! This was more than a magic. Thank you!!
  • This video is a lifesaver! Threw my back out this afternoon and couldn’t stand up straight and was up all night in excruciating pain. Found your video at 3am, followed it and instantly felt relieved. Will definitely repeat a few times the next few days. Thank you!!
