I appreciate the significant adjustments you have made in response to Bob’s changing reality, Brad. In particular I am impressed with your ability to support and, if necessary, clarify Bob’s comments (which are useful as well). Thanks and Happy Christmas to you both!

I do this stretch at my kitchen sink. Love it! Thank you.

Decompression feels great. Thanks for the tips. Bob, you’re sounding so good, I understood every word you said. Yay! Merry Christmas!

I've spent years decompressing my spine with Teeter inversion tables and the Saunders lumbar traction devices. Never have they solved my lower back pain (L4/L5 disc bulge). They do provide temporary relief. When I say temporary, I mean it. I am talking 10 minutes or so. What I found after reading Dr. Stuart McGill's book "back Mechanic" is that traction of my lumber area where my disc injury is caused further instability to an area lacking it to begin with. Decompression and stretching will not solve the underline cause of pain for the majority. Rather the opposite, strengthening and stiffing the core (McGill Big 3) is what is truly needed to ultimately rehabilitate the back successfully. Just my personally experience for those who keep finding themselves in traction devices with temporary relief.

Thanks for the decompression tips. Very helpful.

Appreciate you both!

Y’all are so very helpful and real!thank you!

I have compression in problems in S1, L5, and L4. This worked great. Great video and thanks for the advice.

Thank you, I'm excited to try these!

blessings yo you both. The kindest therapists on the internet!!!

Thanks a lot Dr. for interesting video. You always try to help people…

This is just what I needed to know Thanks Kindly guys

You guys rock !!

A chin up bar is good for decommissioning. I also use the handles of a walker for decompressions. If I need to I can decompress my back on the back or side of a shopping cart. Sometimes I lay on my back and push my hips away.

I will try all of these exercises. Have a little issue right now. Good job guys.

Thank you both for another great video. Merry Christmas!!

Thanks guys.

I've been doing that last one and it's my favorite before bed.

Cobra is the yoga position but that reverse stretch has helped my low back immensely
