    I started having difficulty walking in 2016. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in 2020. Over that period I gained a lot of weight. For the last two years I’ve weighed 260 lbs. On top of that I have severe COPD. I finally started working with a Physical Therapist. In 2016 I spent my 62nd birthday in the hospital and died 5 times over 24 hrs. I left the hospital 21 days later with a dual stage pacemaker/ defibrillator. My biggest regret is being a procrastinator. If I could offer any advice I would say don’t wait until tomorrow to do what you can do today.

    This is so funny to me. I found all of these exercises by myself, because it was what felt like it helped the most. Genuinely happy to get them validated. From my own experience, do these exercises. They all give you massive amounts of relief and overtime it will reduce the pain you have significantly.

I have had numerous operations throùgh Osteo arthritis , from Lamenectomy to fusion's. two operations to put in plate and screws. yes degenerative spine. Now 15 years on at the age of 81 years I am fighting to keep going . yes these exercises will definitely help. No more surgery.

    This video was very helpful. Using a model of the spine is a great visual to understand spinal stenosis. The exercises are well explained and are helpful, too. Thank you so much.

    Thank you for your videos! They are so helpful to me because there wasn’t much explanation when I was diagnosed. You are changing lives!

    I loved your video and how well your explain the process. Thank you so much.
  • I am extremely thankful to you for this great video. I' m 75 and been just diagnosed with spinal stenosis. I go for a brisk walk every evening; the first 25 minutes are painless;however, the next 20 minutes or so are quite painful. I 'll do the exercises advocated by you regularly,so that over a period of time the pain that occurs in my leg diminishes.
  • @user-vk4id2hj4m
    Once again thank you so much , I am closer to 69 and my lower back and leg pain has been gradually increasing since late 40’s. I am very flexible since childhood and now I feel unstable walking and sitting . Laying flat is relief now I will add these 3 into that time. I am grateful to have found theses videos and saved for use. Fran
