What a great explanation. I was going over this with my boss today in the clinic ic ( I'm a PT also) but I wasn't getting it so I came here and you answered all of my questions. I thank you so much!
Lovely. Excellent & Brilliant presentation. I don't need to go to a Physio anymore. (still wondering whether I have a Sciatic Nerve though). Appreciate it if you could do a presentation like this for pain in worn-out shoulder joints. Thank you very much from Sri Lanka.👍👍👍👍👍
This is brilliant Maryke. I would go further to suggest that these exercises should be included into a general health/preventative regime. I just wish these things were taught to everyone at a young age as part of overall health hygiene.
Thank you for this! What is the best way to get warm before doing these stretches? I have identified that my pain is caused by neural tension so I'm excited to try these out. Thank you again.
Hi. I'm curious if you'd suggest all these exercises for someone suffering from high hamstring tendinopathy and adductor tendinopathy for 5 and a half months. The knowledge I have gained from this channel is amazing. I wish you'd be open to taking an online appointment. I checked your website and you're currently unavailable.
I would not usually do any of these exercises or at least be very careful with these for high hamstring tendinopathy because they are likely to irritate it - but it is of course dependent on how sensitive a person's tendon is and everyone is different. Apologies for not being able to help with this, but my colleagues are just as experienced in treating high hamstring tendinopathy.
I can barely touch a knee with my other leg big toe, both legs. I have not only hernia C6C7 and L5S1 but severe knee and hip arthritis with hip impigment. Doing yoga,back in my healthy periode of life I can do (mostly) of other exercises quite well. Problem is piriformis/ adductores/hip flexors (tightened) and glutes/abdominal (weak).
Hello Maurice I’ve had repetitive calf strains for years now and just found out in the last few months I have neural tension in siatic nerve do you have any advice on how to stop the repetitive calf strains?
I can’t slump forward without pain in my upper back ( between scapula) . Also lower back pain when folding forward. Had this back issue now as well as sciatic nerve pain for 4 years.
Then treating the back issue is the first thing you should do. A physiotherapist will be able to give you exercises to help that. If you wanted help with your rehab and an exercise plan, this is something that our team of physios can assess and help you with via video call. The best physio on our team to consult about back injuries is Daniel. You can read more about how the online consultations work here: www.sports-injury-physio.com/
Curious question: Is the slump test and straight leg raise test also used as an indicator for progress with sciatica? If the pain during these tests decreases as time goes on, is this an indication of improvement?
Ive had a bicep issue for about 6 months every doctor i go to gives me a different diagnosis, my shoulder used to grind and click alot and i had a lot of pain in my bicep when rowing, lateral raises and overhead press. I did my own physio and the pain is alot better but overhead pressing still really hurts my bicep, i really have no idea why
I’ve got some painful sciatica in my right leg; been doing the nerve floss but wanted to ask if it’s ok to perform it while sitting on the bed? It is the only piece of furniture I have where my legs don’t touch the floor. I’ve done the ones lying down too but is that as effective?
Ooh be careful with nerve flossing if you have painful sciatica - it can often make it worse because injured nerves don't like being stretched. But yes, you can do it on any surface that feels comfortable - always observe how you feel in the hours after doing an exercise or move - if pain increases it might mean it is not right for you.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio I’m a little confused on why when I do the slump test, it does not really cause pain or agitation but I feel me nerve pain on & off. Wonder if I should back off of the nerve flossing as I didn’t realize this was stretching. My right knee has accompanying pain as well.
