It was this session and the one for neck and shoulder pain that brought me to you. It's been 3 years ! Amazing. I am so grateful to have found you. That I keep on with the qigong is partly because I just love it but your enthusiasm, kindness, generosity, knowledge and humour and more keeps me a most loyal pupil. These freebies and the Patreon sessions are a mainstay for me. Thank you and thank you, dear Nick.

In the last few months of 2020, I began to notice significant back and leg restriction which developed into significant pain and immobility. I found Qigong here on RU-vid and have been intuitively regular practice with different teachers. Today I found you! Wow! This feels so right in my energy system and in breaking up the chi in my lower back and legs. Thank you so much for sharing in this format because I couldn’t have known what to do otherwise. I’m 69, and I’m looking forward to my practicing on this channel and becoming more active and vital. I was getting concerned. ☺️🙏🏽

@rollingwave2732 2 года назад

I don’t believe it! I crawled out of bed with lower back pain this morning and now feel back to normal. There is so much healing in your practice. I sleep now from doing the sleep practice and if I think I might have a worrying day I do the anxiety one. Thank you so much for everything you give us. Thank you from my heart.

@TheNickLoffree 2 года назад

Lower back 'twinging' has been irritating me for a while now so I am grateful to have found this video, which has literally made my backache disappear!! I have been a Quigong convert for over 2 years now and the difference it makes is astonishing. I love your practices over anyone else and will continue to follow you and I always share with friends and family. Thank you Nick.

This is such a magical era for your work. When I watch these older videos you get to a point where you mention the final form I'm like "no way that has been 40 minutes, I am in the ZONE and time is not real right now!!!" Thanks a million, my friend.

@timniemi6045 4 года назад

I have been having back pain for about 10 months now, after a few falls. I have 4 herniated discs. PT is not helping. This was very relaxing and I could feel the energy moving. I like the way you took the time to explain and demonstrate each position. It was easy to follow. I look forward to a healthier back and to attain some more inner peace. Thank you.

@TheNickLoffree 4 года назад

Wow, I'm glad to hear it helped. Be really careful with those discs doing the exercises. I hope it keeps improving!

@creativeyoga108 Год назад

I’ve been doing yoga for many years but since I’ve started a new career as a therapist, I’m sitting for many hours during the day and yoga isn’t helping anymore! My back started spasming a few days ago and I’ve been in constant pain UNTIL I did this video and the upper back one. This is what’s been missing in my life! I will start doing these exercises during my work day and in the morning and when I get home. I’m looking forward to a huge reduction in pain. Thank you!

Nice spine mobilization. Good reminders to pay attention to our low back. Water sound very peaceful. Sorry about the plane passing by at the end... Thank you veru much.

@TheNickLoffree 4 года назад

Yes, good training for the low back regardless of pain or not! When we were shooting I was wondering if that plane sound would get picked up by the mic!

@hansapatel5277 2 года назад

Good morning nick. Today was my 4th day and yes I do feel so much better. Thank you so much.

@melaniegrace2392 Год назад

So agree with Qigong over yoga for joint pain. I have an annoying disc that pops from time to time, so all forward bends are 100% out. It's entirely possible to adapt your routine to standing or semi squatting and the warrior 1 keep moving, as with all Qigong movements, feels so much healthier for the joints than yoga long holds, especially too much downward dog which has caused problems for others I know as well. I had a frozen shoulder which I put down to arthritis and was constantly painful and movement limited. As you said, I suddenly realised since starting Qigong, the pain has at least halved and it moves so much more. Thanks again Nick and keep the joint and immunity vids coming please!

@JulieSimmonsAST 3 года назад

So helpful after a weird back strain followed by a long car ride. i feel it improving!

@TheNickLoffree 3 года назад

Great to hear!

@mrs.charlotte Год назад

Thanks for your good teaching. I think it got better in the lower back after one session, I will definitely try it every day for a while. My coccyx has grown crookedly together with the lower lumbar vertebra, so I'm always in a bit of pain. And now that menopause has set in, I wake up every morning with pain in my lower back, pelvis and hips, so I hope these exercises can make a difference. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🤗

@joyceneill3425 4 года назад

I just found your routine on RU-vid. Love the workout🙏🏻😁🇨🇦✌️

@TheNickLoffree 4 года назад

Awesome! Thank you!

@alaskaoils 4 года назад

Followed this today, just a neophyte. I appreciate the explanations of what the body is doing, various views of same motion. I've had low back pain that nothing has alleviated until I found Qigong. My left hip inside pelvic muscle pops unexpectedly. Seem to get a lot of energy stuck there, now I can feel it and release the energy instead of having is cramp the muscles. I'm getting more flexibility back, and my dream is to get me back on my horse! Worth the journey - it is always worth it - Thank-you

@TheNickLoffree 4 года назад

Wow this is so good to hear. Just goes to show there is always hope if we just keep trying. Keep pushing through!

@sabrinashea198 Год назад

@discovermusicwithdanielle7859 3 года назад

Reminds me so much of Lee Holden- similar voice! I think you were probably trained by Lee? But I prefer you, no offense to lovely Lee :) I’ve done this for 3 days and definitely feel a difference. The freedom in hips and pelvis is subtle, but it’s definitely there and I’ve been trying to have that in PT for awhile. I also really feel the stuck energy moving and completely agree that this is the source of my general chronic pain. It’s the first qigong I’ve done that I can relax enough to do for 40 minutes. So relaxing.. The whole thing just makes sense...very grateful for this, thanks Nick!!

@TheNickLoffree 3 года назад

Wow, what a great review! ;) Yes, I interned with Lee for several years. Even helped him film stuff in this exact location! haha Glad the routine has resonated :)

@alisoncolyer9572 2 года назад

Thank you for this. I found the shorter version a few days ago when my back was very sore and I came back to find this longer one. I love the pace, the movements and the clarity of your instruction. I'm delighted to have found you and will enjoy exploring your content. Oh yes - forgot to say that my back eased significantly after the first shorter one and today not only does my back feel great but I feel much more expansive, present and content overall. Many thanks

@TheNickLoffree 2 года назад

That’s great! Thank you!

@helihannula3227 3 года назад

This was wonderful! I will certainly continue doing this and hopefully my morning low back pain will slowly disappear

@TheNickLoffree 3 года назад

Awesome! Let me know how it goes :D My Swimming Dragon video is another good one.

@JohnWebberwww 2 года назад

This is just brilliant Nick. I injured my back with a lot of simultaneous twisting and lifting and this has really helped release the tension and ease what was quite intense pain. I plan to keep with this, even as the pain disappears because I appreciate how much it enhances one's awareness of the muscles and movements around the lower back. Really vital for well-being. Thank you for this generous gift.

@TheNickLoffree 2 года назад

I’m so glad to hear that!
