I went the last eight months thinking I had a tight or loose piriformis, but after watching a -Bob & Brad- video, I finally found the one that fits me: Can't lie on my stomach without pain (sciatic pain, specifically. That's too much bulging for Step 3, but they said to put a stack of pillows under you until you can lie there without pain, then just hang out there for a while, and later you would be able to take a pillow out of your stack.
I did this last night and I had to use three pillows under my hips, waist, and trunk to be able to do that, but it felt good. And since I had my forearms under my chest, I was able to kind of pull them down toward my waist, which pulled my torso up while my legs were on the other side of the pillow, and that provided for very nice traction.
Lying flat on my back is a no-go, too. But I had one of the best days ever at work today, so even after just one pillow-stack belly-lying session, I could already tell a big difference at work. I work on my feet all day and had been having to lean forward slightly to keep pressure off the nerve, and was making my lower back really really tired, like -feeling the burn- for the last four hours of every shift, and after coming home, it would take three or four hours of rest before my back didn't feel worn out anymore.

Somehow while DL i felt sharp pain, left home and my back hurted while i was leaning forward with straight back(something like romanian)
I guess it was cuz i did slightly posterior pelvic tilt.
Decopressing rlly helsp25. January
2 weeks passed i felt really fine.
Then while stretchin hemstrings My back got hurt again. In the morning everything was fine. I could walk normal, stand. but after some squatting pain would spread to front thigh. and glutes.
So I guessed it was just ischiadicus.
Day before yesterday while sitting i bented for something on the floor. Sharp pain again(even tho i was squatting just fine that week)
Pain spread across glute and hamstring while benting forward with straight back.
Yesterday morning everything fine, today even better.
I did decompressing and some plank.
I don't have strong symptoms, cuz i can stand from bed Normal walk. idk anymore xD
It kills me cuz nothing hurts while squattin

I did this and at the end I was so chocked at how much lighter I felt and how there was no pain that I burst into unclotrollab tears. I am still crying as I type this.
I have been living with this pain since I was 13 from a gymnastics injury and my parents never brought me to hospital to check in on it, so it got worse over the years and now I am 27 with a herniated disk on my L5-S1 and a dessicated disk on my T11-12 (more recent injury as a consequence of living with my lumbar injury.
I used to be super active and I genuinely thought I could never be active again, but this was an instant relief. I am going to start doing this every day now.
I cannot express how thankful I am. Maybe I can go back to the gym and go fighting again.
Thank you. THANK YOU.

I-ve been in extreme pain for weeks from a bulging disc (two actually as my MRI confirmed) and all of the stretches I-ve been prescribed have only aggravated the issue. I-m not a doctor, so what do I know, but I-ve been avoiding my rehab because I leave feeling worse than I started out. I-ve been getting all this flak for -not taking it seriously-.
Also, my PT told me to do the wall lean Opposite what Jeff demonstrates here. Again, it hasn-t done me any good. So now I-m questioning that too.
I-m so glad I-ve found this video by Athlean-X. I-ve been following Jeff for a while and everything he says in here makes so much more sense. I-m going to abandon all the other stuff and just follow this for a bit. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing these tips. I have a herniated disc and buldge disc in L5 area. I certainly do not want to do the wrong stretches. Last year I had tingly feeling under my right foot which seems to have ceased. Now recently my left foot (the instep to be precise) has started hurting off and on. I do go to PT and chiropractor 3xs per week under workers comp. But they don't cook much there for me other than spine decompressing and use of the T. E. N. S machine. Anyhow, I will be adding the tips you shared as part of my healing process.

100 % Anatomical LIE. I 100 % Guarantee 99% of the World have NOT been diagnosed with a bulging disc. yes you can get a bulging disc given time it heals up. I guarantee he can NOT rectify it. Hospitals would would be doing what he says. General Public do NOT follow any so called advice from above or the posts on the left. Remember I guarantee NOT one of them know what is causing the pain. it could be a very simple strain to Cancer. Do NOT take on any of there so called advice as they do NOT have clue of the cause BEWARE

I've had a history of back problems since high school. Tried everything known with little help. Finally had surgery about 20 yrs ago which helped. Every once in a while my disc will slip and render me helpless with an occasional trip to the ER.
I recently had another slip and immediately went through the process of stretches prescribed by PT and Dr.
Then I happened upon this video and immediately felt much better results.
I can't thank you enough for this information. You are a godsend!

I got to say thank you so much Jeff I-m 22 and Christmas Eve I didn-t know I had a disc bulge out place while squatting. After two months of recovery and re adjustment of my spine and hip just the other day I came to this video still having pain to find out that your video helped me more in the last 48 hours than. The last 6 weeks of treatment and pill taking days. I can now feel hopefully to get back to my busy day to day life with your help. I will do this on a day to day basis

This video was an absolute Godsend! I have been suffering for 4 years with a slight bulge of my L4 L5 disc. I tried everything and spent $$$$$ trying to relieve the pain and discomfort. After stumbling upon this video, I performed the exercises and what do you know-98% pain relief, I could actually feel my sciatic pain dissipate whileI performed exercise 2! Thank you so much Jeff for sharing these simple and effective exercises! This WORKS!
