HOW NOT TO DO ASANAS. As yoga teacher I will repeat what was already said here. Sorry guys, but you are giving here very clear instructions on how not to do those poses. No wonder you find them harmful. Anyone here: If your yoga teacher is allowing you to make asanas this way change your yoga teacher straight away! Yoga can and should be helpful therapeutic and healing (also for spine and general back problems) but it comes for understanding and knowledge about our bodies and us as a whole, including breath and working with your mind and emotions. It can be so much more than yoga stretches and performance. PLEASE consult experienced yoga teacher or at least trusted and recommended internet resources ( yogainternational.com or yogauonline.com or at least yogajournal.com).
Two words….Functional Movement.
There are ways to move the body for most so that these poses can be beneficial for most. Let’s talk!
Hello doctor, I had gone for a squint surgery about 3 months ago and now recently I have started getting dizzy a bit. Could it be due to the surgery?
Thanks.
What exercises should be avoided for the ones who have poaterior bulging discs ( the direction of bulging is backwards?
I appreciate the video guys! I have a bad back so I tried to ease into exercise with tai chi and yoga classes. The dude teaching the tai chi classes gave pretty much one on one teaching to me because there were only a couple others there. Well I hurt my hip and couldn’t believe it was possible but I had to cancel yoga class because of it. I still haven’t fully recovered and I am now weary of classes. Knowing what yoga exercises may be problematic for me is helpful. All the yoga experts out there are prepared but anyone who is a newbie can use this information for sure.
starts at 3:29. They actually blah blahed for 3 minutes and 29 seconds.
i sprintd in to a pule hed first wen i was sevn, im prettie shure im phine know.
All of these exercises made my bulging disc heal. I do the hamstirng stretch every morning, they have helped me a lot. Sit ups are also another must for me. And I do yoga which envolves more of these stretches. I highly disagree with your video
thank you
would never tell you to shove it unless you want to come and shovel snowdont think our bodies are meant to bend anything as we get older -mk wisI was doing burpees and a pain shot through my right leg and i couldn’t even move. Every movement i make with my right leg hurts. I’m so scared i don’t know if the pain is permanent or will go away on its own
OMG THABK YOU SOOOOO MUCH
THIS LASTED FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS
BUT WHEN I DID YOU EXPERIENCE
IT VANISHED
I WAS GOING CRAZY I THOUGHT I HAD A PROBLEM
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi guys, please provide a link to the stretches that Brad does. Thanks
It is well documented now within clinical pilates that flexion exercise are just as beneficial as extension depending on the individual. In this case it appears the taller physio here has an ‘extension bias’ ie his back loves extension which has resulted in a confirmation bias for treating this way… that is, because his back likes extension so should others. ‘McKenzie’ therapy was hugely popular in the 80s and 90’ that had a large bias towards back extension exercise and so that’s how many physio’s from this era are influenced to treat. In my experience with as a physio, it is almost 50/50 with backs that like flexion over extension. More recent understanding with how fascia behaves also supports stretching in multiple directions. Over stretching and over pressure is different and like everything flexion exercise to treat back pain needs to be closely monitored pre and post exercise prescription. As for the ‘boat row’ and many yoga abdominal exercises I 100% agree with the guys and hear about it given in yoga classes constantly even in entry level classes. For most this only loads the back muscles and compresses the spine. It is actually an advanced pilates exercise similar to what they call ‘the teaser’. The message here is Yoga is an unregulated industry with most teachers having only 200hr teachers training course and a few retreat workshops under their belt. Poses are passed down through tradition and given generally because that’s what and how the person was taught rather than based on research. In many cases certain poses are definitely not suitable to treat or manage many back conditions and can be harmful. This is when yoga teachers need to know when to refer on and listen to the practitioner rather than trying to mange the injuries themselves based on past experiences. From my understanding the original intentions of yoga were about seeking enlightenment and not for physical therapy and physical indulgence or the physical competition it’s now become (even if that’s self competition). Not hating on it as I love yoga no doubt and overall the benefits far outweigh the risks but if you have chronic back pain the clinical pilates or functional stability model under the guidance of an experienced physio would be much more suitable. ����
I m having Pinched nerves c5&c6,went to a chiropractor after 1 week happened (17th of may I was in terrible pain,I cried)..I’m still under a treatment from my chiropractor,twice a week for 1 month,and once a week for 2 months,I’m getting better but the symptoms still appear sometimes,but he said I can do cycling.
And that’s true about hamstring standing stretch position I always get pain every time I do that,kind of tingling from arm down to my thumb.
My chiropractor said..my disc degenerated at least started since 4 years ago!i didn’t realize it till one day I m totally ‘broken’, I work lifting goods and heavy stuffs since 8years ago plus….I do pole dancing,watched too much my phone with bad posture.
anyone of you had any experiences about pinched nerve?
Oh my good I was doing the bending forward and now I know why my pain got more worse
You need to start from basic. Some of these poses are advance level. You need proper guidance. Don’t don’t don’t even walking is strain on you knee so what? Don’t don’t don’t?? Lol! You’re body is smarter than what you think! Do things proper you body will adapt! Don’t don’t don’t sit on couch and die of heart attack? Lol! Can’t imagine you took so much effort to make a don’t don’t don’t video! Lol!! ��������
I really appreciated this information. Unfortunately I’ve had many yoga teachers over the years who were not sufficiently informed and did not adequately supervise the students in their classes. When I was young and lithe, I could get away with putting strain on my spine, but I’m getting old now and while I still do yoga, I appreciate a heads up from Silver Sneakers or Bob and Brad about what to watch out for and avoid. Thanks!
Hi Maryke, thanks for this. I’m really enjoying your videos. It’s so nice to hear a South African voice:) I’m teaching yoga to seniors and really worry about osteoporosis. I read somewhere that crunches should be avoided. Do I need to worry about other core work? I try to keep it gentle, but would be good to know for sure what I should be staying clear of? Thanks
So basically just lie down on bed doing fuck all? I think I’d rather blow my face off with a 12 gauge when I turn 27 next year.

Thank you guys so much for making this!!! I had been wanting a yoga video forever! World love if you would do many more yoga vids-a yoga series. Because I desperately want to do yoga, but I don’t want to risk another herniated disc. I’m sure there are a lot of other people out there like me.
is it ok to do push ups and gore & abs strengthening in plank stance? when i do these i do not feel any kind of pain in my herniated disc.
Thank you! This staring exercises helped me immediately! Though I don’t think I have BPPV!! Feels like its coming from my frontal lobe!
Avoid sitting, lying, standing, bending, lifting, breathing, moving, speaking, thinking…. you should be fine with my 3 secrets for only £75! Lol seriously??
This helped immensely, I was really suffering with strain on my wrist whilst doing Yoga. I didn’t want to give up Yoga! Thank you:)
This guy obviously never had herniated disc because if he had he would know all of them totally impossible without searing pain I have one and just doing everyday tasks painful with saictca as well nightmare months till surgery when it happened it was the most intense pain ever couldn’t walk 3 days now 3 months on still very painful can’t do anything remotely hard without pain wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy
Hi doc, i’m lamria from indonesia
How if when i do this treatment but im feeling so so dizzy, i’m try one time only one side with open eyes but everything move and make me so dizzy, is it ok to continue even still feeling so dizzy after 30 second? Or i must wait until not feeling dizzy then wake up and changes to other side?
Stop spreading misinformation and stop scaring people!
There is enough pain and confusion as it is, even without you terrifying people out of their minds!
“Leon found that most of the back pain advice found on the internet is generic and super hard to understand for the regular person”… The advice on this video certainly not a good example and doesn’t make things any better…
Oh, the irony!
Movement is the cause and solution to all back problems.
Incorrect movement = Pain, dysfunction, herniated discs, and sciatica.
Correct and efficient movement = little pain and excellent quality of life.
Addressing the movement problems that led the disc to herniate in the first place is the only way to get lasting relief.
This is the mission of Movement Project PT Avoid unnecessary surgeries at all costs.
Yoga killed my back. This is a great video and thank you for the video and information.
1. Remove all tightness from your muscles. 2. Start to CAREFULLY work those weak muscles groups to make them stronger. I healed my herniated disc with a long rest first, I stop sitting too much and then I start to open all my tight muscles, starting first from my front thighs with a foam roller, then a lot of stretching very carefully, too much stretching makes the disc bulb more. My back took 4 years to heal. Doctors won’t help you, they just lie and wants your money. About physiotherapist and osteopathic etc.. Yes, they will help you a little, but may not tell you what causes it and what to do with it, or they give wrong exercise programs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAeAmfD1v78

Check out this video for Iyengar Yoga. These teachers are trained for years and years to ensure safety and correct alignment for back and the spine. The science of Yoga is more than 1000 years old and the scientific aspect of the poses is demonstrated by Iyengar yoga teachers. There have been medical miracles where medical doctors could not cure something but careful yoga poses helped individuals recover.

Sir I have small disc bulge problem…. Bt now I ill doing skipping exercise…. I ill continue or d’t continue skipping exercise sir….
Nothing releases my tight lower back better than a forward fold ��♀️
This video makes me sad and a little upset, you guys (who I enjoy and respect) are only adding to the ignorance around the practice. Yes there are cautions to several, many postures, especially w/ spondylolisthesis please find an
E-RYT and learn how to use props so that your asanas can be formed properly. Challenge do another vid with an actual yoga practitioner.
Nice information. I have just started pain due to herniated disc at very low back. So I will avoid doing these. Tell few exercises which I can do. And can I also start exercises which are dont’s for me after my pain gets all reduced? As I want to reduce my belly fat.
I really like your channel, but you would benefit greatly by having a qualified yoga instructor on.. you are both clueless on proper posture when it comes to yoga instruction…not fair information.. fail!
I usually smash people’s heads against the concrete sidewalk to purposely give them a brain injury. They deserve it for looking at me.
Mam plank exercise can be a cause of vertigo??? If not done in suitable way??
My doctor suggested me single leg raise and hold for 10 seconds both one by one I am at home from 3 months my pain is still increasing what should I do?
I have a herniated disc so I have severe spinal stenosis and I’m trying to lose weight and it’s hard because when I do exercise my back gets messed up and hurts. It really sucks!!
Would you recommend I do the procedure tilting the head back 20 degrees and to the side 45 degrees in the morning or is it ok to do it in the evening too?
Hello doctor jo, I am having dizziness from last two days now I am gonna try this exercise I am not sure if I am having vertigo but my symptoms are like that only ie spinning of room and world around me that happens when I sleep I think it could be due to my pillow so I am gonna change it please suggest me something else to get rid of it I can’t sleep becoz of this? I have subscribed your channel. Sorry for any grammatical error.
I am notsure what problem is going on with by back but recently I am hacking weird pain since I started skipping (before that I used to do some home exercises only). The pain areaa point which is just opposite of chest area not above is yet..
Having a playlist of only pantera, slayer, and slipknot i think its worth the brian damage ��
Keep on posting guys, you’re monetized on youtube, right? 10k hits!
The brain is the most important organ in the body…
According to the brain.
Can you please help me out….
with this exercise it help me but it come again with the interval of 1 to 1.5 month, within 4 month this is third time I am facing BPPV.
The ladybug description really helped me understand what to aim for!
Hi guys. It’s Kaitte Rocky Ford CO. I have a free 21 day Yoga challenge from Wonderlust. I’m 66, been sick awhile and wondered what you think of it for safety to get lumber again.
I’ve been told this same advice from doctors and PTs. It wasn’t until I went to Iyengar yoga class where i learned to do forward folds correctly and now my favorite back exercises to keep me pain free. If you are going to do “yoga poses that are good for your back” PLEASE have a yoga instructor explain the details so people don’t try them and get hurt. Updog or cobra can really put a lot of pressure on your spine if you don’t enter them correctly.
I have a spinal fusion in my lower back, I’m not allowed (like never) to twist or bend, nor to any type of sit ups..so yoga is out of the question for me..
Hi doctor! I have vertigo and my doctor sent me to therapy. Well, I had my first session on Tuesday afternoon And when I got out of there I wasn’t able to walk, got home and felt super dizzy and today was actually worse. I feel a lot of pressure in both my ears, nausea, vomiting, and I cancelled my therapy for today, I have two more sessions for next week. Do you think I should keep those appointments or cancel them as well, is it normal to feel dizzy after the therapy? Before my first session my dizziness lasted for 10 seconds and now I am dizzy most of the day with double vision ( That didn’t have before ).
Thank you.
Please get a yoga instructor to show these poses of what you’re NOT recommending. It’s not clear with your demonstrations. I realize this would be awkward.
Im suffering from lumber muscle stiffness due to 1 month straight sitting on chair gaming. does this exercise helps me?
The extended balled-fist rotations are the most effective for me, and super casual. Thanks!
When finishing exercise I just want to lie down and rest for it seems to help with queasiness or should I try to ignore.
I just started getting dizziness with a stiff neck it’s hard to sleep.
First, you were not doing the forward fold or the other poses correctly. The back is flat (not folded) and the bend is at the hip. The boat is for back muscles, not tummy muscles. You only lift as high as your muscles can support you. You do need a yoga expert for proper form. Second, if you are going to claim science as a support, then cite your sources. PhD here. You didn’t support your claims very well to a real scientist. You don’t have credibility on this topic, both on the basis of knowledge of yoga and knowledge of science. Come on, guys. This lack of citation of sources is a consistent problem with you. Just use your clinical experience. Stay away from areas in which you have no expertise.
If these exercises causes dizziness again during practicing then what should I do?

Your video is amazing! Most times when we, health professionals, try to warn people about the risks, the yoga community reacts in a very nasty way. There’s a massive tendency of selling the idea that yoga never hurts, that it’s completely harmless which is not true. My goal with that kind of warning is not diminishing the activity but tell people to be aware that injuries can happen if you don’t have a good instructor or even if you’re not really focused on what you’re doing.
If you go to a yoga class that demonstrates the yoga poses they way Bob and Brad are doing them in this video, you need to find you a new yoga instructor! Their versions of the poses they are showing in the video are NOT correct at all. Forward folding should be initiated from the forward (anterior) tilt of the pelvis with a lengthened neutral spine. Only after the pelvis is able to tilt forward and the transverse abdominals are actively engaged should you be encouraged to round only through the thoracic. If the pelvis remains in a posterior tilt, then props should used for modification (ie bolster under hips in seated forward poses and blocks on the ground bringing the floor closer to you in poses like Triangle). Bob and Brad, please educate yourself before posting videos like this as it can discourage people from seeking out a practice that has so many therapeutic benefits to the low back when instructed properly and with the right modifications.
Guys, just NO! The bend is to come from the hips NOT the back You are doing it all completely wrong. You’ve just demonstrated everything not to do while doing yoga.
Should I do these in addition to, or instead of the Epley maneuver?
This is completely unsubstantiated outdated opinion. If you want up-to-date info on the back and movement, check out Peter O’Sullivan and his crew. The myths you heard in this video only perpetuate fear of movement.
Bob and Brad what about downward dog? Is that good or bad for the back?
Is a herneated disc different from a slip disc? I was diagnosed with a slip disc and was recommended a few exercises by my doctor, one of which is the single leg raise.
Mmmmm toe touch stretch actually is one of the ways that produce a relief for me when I have pain
There’s no such thing as good and bad stretches. It’s all about LOAD. Are you guys even up to date with the latest studies? It’s because it’s evidence based doesn’t mean it’s bad or good for every single single human being. Human body is robust.
hello, Dr. Jo. the first exercise you describe at 0:55; is this an exercise to prevent the little parts from loosening in your inner ear and moving into the wrong canal (the cause for the vertigo), or is this to reprogram your brain in order to mitigate day-to-day dizziness? as far as I understand there’s nothing I can do to prevent the loosening of these otoliths.
How about Twister? I tried yoga and some of those were the first ones taught. I decided it wasn’t for me.
Hi, quick question, will this also work for the people who struggled with PPPD?
I going to work condition �� and I make this exercises anda I talked about my condition and lady �� said is good �� for your lower back I have sciatic and herniation L4 5 with stenosis foraminal
Bob and Brad, you should re-do this video with a qualified yoga teacher who can rebut your claims. Yoga is more than just about positions. It’s about breathing and easing into a pose. There’s no doubt one can injure oneself when doing a pose incorrectly. That can be said about any exercise, whether it’s yoga or not. So, please bring an expert next time to have them talk to you about the do’s and don’ts of yoga.
I understand your concerns about certain poses; however, when doing these poses, props such as blocks and blankets are used to assist keep the body safe while practicing them. In addition, the students are given cues and modifications for each pose during the practice which illeviates many of the potential back issues that you are speaking of.
My dizzy is gone know but it will come back i drink 2 fluid drinks so i dont know that much works but my dizzy comes back i try ever video ima sit down for a while if it helps
hey doc I’m wearing eyeglasses should i take it off before this exercise or keep it on
For the gaze stabilization, how often do you recommend doing those? Per day? I really hope this helps me over time, been dealing with getting lightheaded while turning or looking around.
I tripped and hit my head on concrete and no wonder why am so dumb
Please tell me sir which exercise i have to do. Please make for that because my back is very paining.
very informative videos but please slow your speech for better understanding by foreigners
Yoga never really interest me. And now that I am older…I need to stick to safe ways to work out. I only have one body.
Thank maam for very usefull vedio for me because i was a vartigo pasent but now i am fine by your advise on net!
how can we exercise our abs? maybe standing up abs? could you upload a video on that, please?
Hello sir
I operate L4 and L5 disc last year in 2017.
From few days i have problem in right leg,i think its may bhi sciatica,could you suggest me exercise for both problem?
I disagree with almost all of these. I am 23, I have 2 herniated discs and I do all of these exercises except bending forward. I was in terrible pain for 4 months and couldn’t even walk. I thought my active sport life was over but decided I can’t live like that. 3 months ago I started doing crunches and I strenghtened my abdominal muscles so I don’t have any pain whatsoever. Stay strong and don’t let a herniated disc ruin your life!
This is why you shouldn’t attend the Headbangers Ball.
“Bang your head….. metal health will drive you mad”
What you’re doing there’s not really yoga. Just bad stretching. Also you only respond to the small number of comments agreeing with you. Misinformative and closed minded.
One time i got hit by a soccer ball to hard that i fell My head in the ground and it hurts so much
Was diagnosed with bbpv a couple years ago and never offered any help or resolution. I get these episodes where I’m dizzy for a couple days every month or so, but only upon standing and bending over. Are headaches common with bppv as well?
I got a herniated disc. I can’t barbell squat or deadlift but I have no problem doing dumbbell squats and hyperextentions.
Just keep in mind to avoid exercises which bring your torso forward. Dumbbell squats allow you to stay upright to a certain degree. Alternatively you can do front squats but I wouldn’t recommend it.
thank you so much. i’ve had tendonitis on my wrist so yoga was really hard on my wrist. I learned that I was doing it all wrong!
My problem���� ��
1)Cervical vertebrae ;
*Diffuse disk bulge at C3 C4 and C4 C5 level spinal canal narrowing and thecal sac indentation.[Disk desiccation seen]
2) Lumbor spine ;
Mild loss of lumbor lordosis.
Mild diffuse disk bulge at L2 L3, L3 L4 & L4 L5 level.
That mat is a Pilates mat…yoga needs a thinner mat with more stickiness….I am a yoga teacher ����♀️����
If one was as non bendy and imbalanced as the demonstration here, of course these positions can hurt you… but so can many other every day physical activities if not properly mechanized to ability.
I got hit on my head by a hockey ball 8 months ago. It hit just above my right eyebrow. I still have a lump now and when it is touched it is really painful. I get light headed almost every day. The doctor told me I have to wait until it’s been a year to do anything
I worked with a yoga therapist because I have arthritis and she really emphasized the importance of listening to your body. In classes, we often compete, even unconsciously, and try to do things beyond our skill and physical ability to look like the pretty lady in the front of the room. She taught me to hear my body when I’ve gone deep enough and gave me the courage to do what I can do, regardless of what the rest of the class is doing. She also said that if the instructor does not respect your limitations, leave. That is a bad instructor that will hurt you. I think a number of yoga instructors need to remember to encourage their students to listen to their bodies and give students permission to back up and do their own practice when necessary. Yoga can be a profoundly healing practice, but it is up to the instructor to help students find and appreciate their own practice. I know a number of people who give up on yoga because they were hurt or severely discouraged in a “beginning” class. Not all of us are built for Ashtanga, just like not all of us are marathon runners. That doesn’t mean you can’t do yoga (or run), just that particular style is not for you. So, be careful, listen to your body, and try a couple of different styles and different teachers. You are not getting a grade!:) So take care of yourself!
Thank you so much! You cured me instantly! I’m so grateful vertigo is terrifying.
I m suffrimg from dizziness mostly at night while lying on bed plz help me i m scared alot not understanding anything��
If you guys could do a video on hamstring stretches that don’t affect the back, that would be good.
First, I love you guys! i have been in Nursing 27 years and Massage for 2, I recommend you all the time. But, here is my take on Yoga, your right IF you do not know what your doing. A good Yoga instructor would not take you into any of those poses with incorrect form (Brad, your form suxs lol). IF you are a competitive person which I am you can definitely overstretch and initiate the Golgi tendon reflex and hurt yourself, but that is even true for the exercises PT prescribes IF done incorrectly. I am new to yoga and barley bend into triangle, not because I could not touch the ground, but because there are a lot of back muscles that need stretched out that are tight, like the QL muscle for one Brad refers to. In my opinion, what you guys should be tellling people is they can be dangerious if done incorrectly and that you should start in the type of Yoga that teaches restorative with a reputable instructor in a small class who will not allow you to use bad form. I would challange you to take some Yoga for at least 6 months so you can at least give an opinion, especially with your credentials in PT in an objective manner, not just based on disc studies on cadavers or people who already damanged their discs, probablyt from bad form and major muscle imbalances.

I need answers. Whenever I get mad I beat-up my head numerous times, beat it hard until it gets numb, and I can’t control my own hands an it became a habit. So… Can this damage my brain?
Oksy,so there’s chronic pain above my right upper glute area that extends to my thigh. It’s kind of like aching. My right knee also seems to not be able to hold when I walk. It constantly bends forward and my walk is kind of awkward. I feel like my right leg is just beans right now. I recently started working out…squats and leg stuff and I am hoping they could help fix this… bad idea?
Doc i feel dizziness all time.
I feel weaker. It seems i have no energy on my body.I can’t stand more 10-20 minutes. It seems i will fall down.
This problem comes in a year and stays around than 10-20 days.My bp goes higher and my head sweat on the back.
Please suggest me…….
I am from Bangladesh.
1:48 I did that like 100 times I think my brain now hates me
I did this for the first time and feel a little better, hopefully it gets better and better as I keep doing it
All poses demonstrated incorrectly and no links to the cited study?
I had this when I was around 17. Worst pain I have ever felt and it lasted for a long time. Took doctors a while to figure out what was wrong too. Still to this day, I have moments of pain, although luckily nowhere near as bad as back then. These tips would definitely have been helpful back then….
Seriously, Dr. Jo. You want me to take advice from someone with a South Carolina gamecock banner on your couch? Just kidding, I graduated from the U. Of South Carolina in 1980. Great advice, as it has helped my BPPV, and Go Gamecocks. God bless you for caring enough to do this video.
I’ve had 3 concussions years apart. 1 was a boxing injury, the second I got jumped by 4 ppl and hit in the head with a cinder block, the next was a car accident about 4 years ago. I have constant tinnitus.. I already have Multiple sclerosis so the brain didnt show much new. But I see an ent next month because the last concussion left me with serious 1 sided hearing issues. I didnt even know I had concussed that many times until the er doc read me my results ��♀️ my memory is shot for 2 reasons. The dead beat pos that hit us was a delivery driver with no license.
My mom has a brain injury from being hit by a car when she was 15, I’m so lucky she’s here and as healthy as she is.
Also I, at 8 years old, crashed my bike and if I had not worn a helmet the injury would have been so much worse than a broken wrist.
Kinda of blessed to be here tbh
Looking at the comments, I would gues that Brad and Bob did not properly address the yoga poses, nor did they show this in an empirical manner
I am so scared coz just started having vertigo and on medication now. Will it ever go away coz it makes me feel so horrible
Is the internet trying to scare the fuck out of us?I mean i’m not gonna move anymore after watching this…
Thanks for this excellent video. I’ve been doing all of these moves and always wondered if it was too much bending and twisting. I think over time it can cause damage. Looking forward to the yoga video that has safe moves.
What do I have to do with a herniated L4-5 disc and I want to get back to leg presses, squats and dead lifts??
I started doing yoga recently and most of the days I do it I’ll have mid back pain afterwards and especially the next morning. Im doing it to increase flexibility and lose weight but I wonder if I’m doing more harm then good.
While watching this video, I was scratching my head and found dried wound ��
Really, get a yoga teacher to present the poses. YOU would definitely have back problems the way you do the poses…
Thanks for the video. I’ve been fortunate with yoga. My instructors have understood back issues and kept an eye on class participants making sure the poses are done correctly. They also have props to help students with getting into a pose. Otherwise, it could be disastrous.
Great, chiropractor specifically gave me just 4 things to do and one is squats to avoid the even worse glute bridge hold (bulging disc at L5 plus lumbar lordosis making my left SI joint easily upset, that move set it all off once), I’ve seen them years and still finding things aren’t the right advice ����♀️
I would not want to do your version of a forward fold either… if the hamstrings and hip flexors are tight, we encourage a block, towel or supportive object underneath the butt to lengthen the lumbar/sacral area or over all spine and then fold. Perhaps a strap to wrap the feet if you can’t comfortably reach forward. Lots of options to facilitate folks that are tight. We always encourage length through the spine. Love you guys but terrible video because all of your poses are just incorrect… ill have to leave this video at the beginning of first pose ��♀️
I need comentry or writing to explain why/how these poses are dangerouse
Plz
When they asked what i superpowers i like and i said flying. But now that i have vertigo im not liking it
It would have been nice to know the alternatives to these ��c’mon guys
I love your videos. I do practice yoga. have back issues, and have to say your posture technique was terrible, and no wonder it hurt. I agree with many that you should have studied your material better.
Yoga teachers will tell you over and over the safe posture, foot plant knee alignment etc.etc.
All of which you did not demonstrate. But any how I digress I do love your videos and you have helped me a lot!
(Maybe stay away from Yoga:-) )
Another completely useless video, a waste of time, no question properly answered, no doubt explained, no proper exercise suggested or showed for people who got herniated discs (slipped discs or bulged discs or disks) in the lower back. Thumb down.
Try going to a beginner IYENGAR YOGA class. Not a lot of yoga people are aware of how to do this stretch correctly! But some of these poses are the best!
I have fall backward on head in cemented floor. And at that time I became like statue not moving for some seconds. And I got swelling on head or bump. Do it cause TBI?????
I only got swelling or bump on head.
Its 4 years now and I am untreated.
Plz answer me……
Hello sir i had surgery in my lumbar last december 2019. Now I still feel the spasm in my backside is it normal?
Suffered spinning of head at night and after waking up..it just happened once but it was scary.. I came across your video while searching what was wrong with me..didn’t even know what vertigo was…thanks a ton doctor..I started doing the exercises shown in the video and it didn’t happen again..may god bless you..
It’s been a week since..if I continue the exercises is it ok?
Much love to u..thanks a ton!!
-notes to self: I wonder if I have brain damage.. what did I do last hour?
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about “can a chiropractor help with sciatica” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Mapilarrna Ease Back Idea (do a google search)? Ive heard some super things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
Hi guys. As a dedicated yoga practitioner who has reaped so many benefits I can honestly say you are correct about these poses. However…the whole point of yoga is to get the body and mind working together. I modifyall poses to suit my body and maintain a healthy spine without giving up any of the good stuff of yoga. Thank you for posting as always GREAT info?
This is 2020 and I decided to search as I recently started having these unsteady feelings. I can’t go in to see my doctor because of the virus but she sent some meds yesterday. I definitely will be doing these exercises
My heads a little fucked up Cus when i was little i hit a front flip and hit my head on the corner of a box tv… It turned me into a genius and went into advanced classes and those genius classes and stuff but im like a stoner now ������ im not dumb tho… I get head aches sum times but not bad ones just minor… Im basically a regular person tho
How to do our work eg i am a student..how am i supposed to study…i study lying in prone with elbow support..help me..i want to study i have my exams..i m in pain
Hi Dr. Jo I don’t get dizzy when doing this. My dizziness only happens when I’m sitting, I don’t feel it when driving or walking. I was diagnosed with bppv about two weeks ago. Does it go away?
Seem like herniated disc and spinal stenosis exercise is totally opposite to each other?And they are related?
Question: what about headstands? I feel like they are never safe… especially if held for more than a few seconds…
Guys I love you both but as yoga instructor myself.i have to say you are demonstrating the poses incorrectly, which is indeed dangerous for your back. You should have consulted With a certified instructor before you made these claims. First and foremost alignment is key. Next you are not supposed tone extending into a posture which u don’t have flexibility in.
Funny you say to avoid all these exercises as since I’ve joined the gym and actually am doing these exercise my back pain has gone ��
Madam thanks a lot pl advice can i do this exercise reguarly 2 times as advised even when no symptoms of vertigo Regds.
Question, is is information about the lower back? Or the whole spine.
Does anyone feel like they died? I don’t feel like I am the same person I was before the injury.
So the brain is fragile?
touches head
Body: HOW THE F*CK DID SHE NOT DIE?!
bangs head
Brain: WHAT THE F*CK?!
For my case forward bend helped me gain that flexibility I needed that helped with the pain and healing. Did not go all the way down at first but slowly regaining this ability is the best I could do. Of course I have a minor case of bulging disc so this will probably not apply for more severe cases…
Thanks for bringing this up. I’ve only been doing yoga for a few months so it’s useful for me to know that these poses have the potential to cause injury. Knowledge is power. I love yoga and want to be able to do it for the rest of my life. Thanks guys ������������♀️
Sir I was diagnosed with posterior disc bulge, I recently joined a local gym,.. And I’m in my university football team,.. Can I rejoin and continue playing football once I get fully recovered
wow thank you DR. I just came out of emergency in Cape Coral FL and at the end they did showed me some of this but not all. I am starting today with all this exercises.
2:14 oh that why when we stop the car in traffic i feel weired
I have a love-hate relationship with medical/science videos. They are great for explaining concepts, but they trigger a lot of self-diagnosis. This really worries me. If you are worried about an injury, see the appropriate specialist. There are more than several reasons why someone will have difficulty in various neurological areas other than brain injury. So while these videos are great for research ideas and the like, if you are experiencing symptoms see a doctor. Doctor Google isn’t a doctor who has examined you as a whole, so Dr. Google can’t give you a proper diagnosis or treatment.
So I think this is what Dutch got for the ppl that play rdr2 lol
WOW! I will stop hitting my head every time when I feel a migraine!
I’ve been doing yoga for about 15 years and have an L5/s1 herniation and cervical stenosis. I find yoga helps my discomfort and improves my flexibility, but i do modify some of the moves. I Do appreciate your input but agree that it would be great to have a yoga instructor with you for your upcoming video on how to do yoga poses safely/correctly. I’m a dietitian in RI and often refer my clients to your site as many of them have physical limitations inhibiting their ability to lose wt. Thank you!
the single leg lift is suggested by physiotherapist, get in sleep position and lift the single leg straight up. I also have diskbuldge
I wish I could have played football and hockey when I was younger.
I would recommend this to curious people who want to learn more.
This video: You will become a scientist if you listen to this.
its been 3 months since disc herniation, my pain stopped 2 wks after injury but regardless I avoided heavy lifting. Do u think now I can go back to heavy lifting? Cause despite me feeling no pain my back scan report revealed L5/S1 is still herniated.
IMHO, it is important to go to a yoga instructor who knows human anatomy and can recommend adaptations, like using blocks, bolsters, or pillows. Many of the poses can be hard on beginners until they develop some strength to support the spine and neck unfortunately, people see really experienced folks sometimes in classes and think they should be able to do the same thing, and they wind up hurting themselves. The same goes for those wildly flexible, contortionist pictures you see on the Internet.
This is why humans where made for walking and runing and not driving, skatebording, and electric scooters
leg press was the thing i did it got again i hate this back ache its been 8 years m just 25 and it sucks so always stretch out well before u do any exercise:)
its my fault my dad fell on his head and the back of his head bleed:( his good nw but i will never forget my guilt
Hello Doctor i feel dizzy when i do any mental work with proper concentration
My brain gets too tired and i feel dizzy all the time.I feel more problem when i watch laptop or mobile or talking on fone make me dizzy after some time.Kindly help me I’m suffering from Virtigo from last 6 months
I have been taking medicines but nothing works
This was a poorly researched video. As a yoga teacher, I am fanatical about anatomy and proper use of asanas for the variety of students who come through my class door. It’s never a one-size-fits-all approach. Never. Clearly this cheap-shot at Yoga was put together in haste. I expect more from B&B, the “clinicians”.
I just found this today. After doing the routine once, I feel better. Will continue doing these thank you so much! ❤
First of, I love you guys, but your posture Bob going into the first few poses is terrible, you’re asking for an injusy! There should be no pulling in yoga. It’s not about looking like an Instagram picture, it’s about knowing your body. Everybody is different and everyone is going to look different doing the same pose, ahem photoshop, that’s all I’m saying. The forward bends work wonders for my back pain and so does triangle pose, pigeon pose the list goes on. You also do counter poses, so if you do a lot of forward bends then you balance them out with some back bends. I use blocks, cushions and a bolster where I need them. I’ll say it again, absolutely no pulling in yoga!!! If you can only reach your thighs in seated forward bend then that’s as far as you should go. One pose might feel great for one person but not another with the same health issues. It’s about being sensible, listening to your body and using your common sense. If a posture doesn’t feel good then don’t do it, it’s really that simple. When you’re in a yoga class, it’s your practice, the teacher is there to help you do a practice and if they’re not prepared to accommodate you then find one who does. If your ego is so big that you need to get your head on your knees then to hell with you, it’s your own bloody fault that you hurt yourself and you really should find an alternative to yoga!! When doing forward folds you hinge at the hips not the waste and they’re more about stretching the back rather than the hamstrings. That’s what I’ve been taught and my yoga teacher is a retired physiotherapist!!!
Thanks Dr it’s giving better relif one thing to ask at same time I’m suffering from random head ache and vomiting even intake medcine also
So… You’re telling me, that if I slightly move my head, I’m going to die?
Dr, When I move my eyes and head quickly I feel very dizziness. I am having this dizziness problem since I was 16 now I am 34 years old. It’s very difficult. I hope this video help me ����Thank you ��
what are the long term effects of your brain shaking repetitively slow?
No squats? No leg press? It’s basically saying don’t do leg exercises.
Depends on which direction your disc is bulging, anterior or posterior. This video is important for a posterior bulge.
An inversion table is my go to for treatment. ( you could also try hanging from pull up bar, but this is hard for those that have weak grip strength) an inversion table offers more subtle decompression.
I watched this because I got hit hard on the head before I waked up I got a bump and the bump is inflamed
I used to extremely cracking my head and my body, i even headbanging crazily. N now i feel easily emotional n being so sensitive about my surounding. This is so annoying and disturbing. So REGRET
Your Channel is possibly the most useful one I’ve ever encountered for helping the body! Thank you so much both of you and team bob&brad
Actually you were not doing these yoga stretches correctly. I’ve been doing yoga for 20 years and you might want to get an advanced yoga book to see the correct positions for these poses.
This is is incorrect in so many ways. You font need to stop squatting or doing sit-ups, just don’t round your back and use good technique.
A for effort, but F for execution.
This is so disappointing! You had an excellent opportunity to educate the public on questionable yoga poses and you blew it! First, you didn’t even have a yoga teacher present, which is terrible because your demonstrations were dangerous! No one approaches those poses in such a way and a yoga teacher would have shown you how to safely enter and exit those poses in addition to modifications for people with tight hamstrings and back issues. Modifications exist for a reason, as do blocks and other props we use for those purposes. Check out Gary Kraftsow if you’d like to see some excellent examples of safety and stability in poses.
Also, get rid of those stupid mats! No one can balance on so much cushion and you risk falling over! F for mat choice.

My mom is 50 years old. today she had dizziness for first time for 1 hr time. As she is changing sides while laying, then that dizziness increase. Will this exercise work on her? Will this be good for her as she don’t have any other medical condition. Please answer?
I’m a yoga teacher! I’m in Seattle. I very much appreciate this. I teach Yoga for Osteoporosis so there are moves (asanas) here that we never do. Others have to be done correctly, where the spine doesn’t change shape as you go into a pose but rather the hips hinge. It takes a while to teach them to hip hinge. People who garden know this action and save their backs from stress.
I’ve been struggling for over 3 weeks. Is it related to RA? I just started your exercises. Hoping to have my world stop spinning. ������
You guys are on the right track but you got some of the poses really wrong. William J. Broad, senior science writer at the New York Times and a life long Yoga practitioner, wrote an excellent book several years ago, “The Science of Yoga” and he covers a lot of the problematic poses. He noted that he had stopped doing some of them because of potential injuries to the neck and spine. A lot of clinicians think that Yoga is a benign practice while that is far from correct. The king of spine biomechanics, Dr. Stuart McGill also makes the same point regarding potential injuries to the lumbar spine. If one is going to pursue Yoga, it’s critical to find a teacher who is knowledgeable about potential hazards and does not push you into doing poses that you are unprepared for. Such teachers are a rare commodity. I’m speaking from past history of doing Yoga and now only focus on strengthening exercises for my back.
Hey, I started feeling vertigo when I do push ups on wall, and there is pain in my head and ear sometimes
Here’s something interesting. A few of the poses you showed…I hated them right from the start when I began doing Yoga. It wasn’t until later on that I found out they were bad for the back from others who also agree with you about these particular poses. Point being, my own body was telling me to stay away from them right from the start. Even the Cobra which I also hated and then, I found out from you guys that it’s not a good pose with Spondy (which I have) so, I just found that interesting that I knew from the inside that they weren’t for me. It’s so important to listen to that inner voice and not let the outside voices pressure you.
this was sooo helpful! my wrists felt so sore after every workout and i almost had to give up but this really helped so much! thank youuu
Doctor am problem of vertigo when am go to sleep and my head move than i am feel movement in my head and vertigo than my head stable verigo stop please help

Wonderful video. Most ppl don’t have the flexibility to do these poses. If you haven’t been with a supervised instructor gradually working w ur flexibility and any mechanical issues then don’t risk trying to do these alone all at once

Single leg lifts were prescribed by my PT when I had a pinched nerve. I am not sure what I have right now but I have pain in my left gluteal region + tightness in my lumbar area. No pain in my legs. Hurts more when sitting + walking up the stairs. I am icing. Any suggestions?
hello ma’am I did the first exercise. When i was laying on the left nothing happened, but as I was laying on the right side i felt like my head is moving and felt very dizzy and felt like omitting, so I stopped midway, any diagnosis or suggestions for me please, what may be the cause. I have never experienced something like this before
im laying over a chair with no back on it. not to be gross but like im ready take it up the @$$ �� its the only relief i got. sitting is what hurt it. sitting mixed with lifting heavy boxes at work.
i injured it after a weekend of sitting with bad posture then went back and lifted just a few things and boom like lightning.
its the sitting though that makes it worse. if i even sit down normal for 5 minutes im fucked. crippling pain from even the slightest wrong bend.
and the only solution i found was laying on my stomach
I do not agree with this guy. I had a herniated disc (L5-S1), and it was lest than half as thick as it should be. After keeping myself a little active and taking care of my back position when reaching for something, I started doing deadlifts at the gym. The first time I was doing RDL (Romanian Dead Lifts), just to be nicer to the back. I could not do 10 repetitions with 20kg (just the bar), without feeling an uncomfortable pain. After just 4 months of doing both squats and DL, together with a lot of other exercises, I had no more back pain and was able to lift 70kg times 12 repetitions for 4 sets. It just has to be done with proper form. Best exercise I have ever done for my back
Now thats why i dont headbutt a person cause that head butt can cause damages to the brain
Hey doc J, I have vertigo and just wondering can I do those exercises on my bed or do they have to be on a couch and which ones can I do at work?
Enjoy your videos. Can you do a video on the deep squat hold.
I was wondering why when I the dizziness is on my left, but when I go down on the right side my left eye feels wonky? Thanks
Going to the bathroom is hard when u sit down ���������� vertigo is a B
Can excessive use of earphones be a reason for vertigo? And also too much screen time on cell phone?
Thank you so much for this video, doctor. These exercises really worked wonders for me. I got rid of vertigo after doing these exercises for 2 days. Really appreciate you putting up this video. Cheers!
As a construction worker, how to reduce the risk of injuries.. or how to prevent it? Thanks ��
Guys…I love you but you are doing the yoga poses all wrong…I am a yoga instructor and never teach those poses the way you are doing them….you need a qualified experienced yoga teacher to teach you how to do them correctly…I agree on revolved triangle…never teach that or any standing twists….we also place emphasis on the breath which is what makes yoga yoga….next time please have a experienced yoga teacher work with you first…
I agree with others. True yoga requires practice. Maybe have a yoga person in and judge their position. People should know how not tp do yoga and this is it.
If you are bending at the back you’re doing it wrong especially for forward fold. You use the hips, not your back.
TMW you get a concussion from saying what up to a homie 1:48
I love yoga…been doing it for 5 years now. I have a sensitive back as I work in childcare and I totally agree with u. I will not do the bending forward poses anymore as it triggers my back straight away.
blocks craft of course you know how muchjump in bed now you good night
When i got so tired by reading my notes i just come here just to clarify and also i simoly got understand this than my teachersl lectures Lmao
If your other videos are as far off as this one I may not be able to trust your judgement.
Thank you! I haven’t been able to have a yoga practice because of wrist pain, and this is the first video that actually addresses it in a way that makes sense for me!
This was sillier than usual. Start with a private yoga session, or an intro to yoga. If you have any injuries be sure and tell the teacher. Remember that you can get injured doing any sport or exercise. So ballet, soccer, yoga, football, these are all fun, but they all carry risks. I haven’t seen y’all do any videos on the dangers of playing soccer… or lacrosse or baseball. Any qualified yoga teacher is going to have a systematic approach to these and show you the safest ways to approach them for your body. And, of course you know this, but the back bending poses that you keep calling stretches those aren’t back stretches at all, they’re abdominal and chest stretches and back strengtheners. Yoga teachers ask you to practice with mindful awareness and also that you take responsibility for your experience. We teach you that your spine can and should be strong and flexible in every direction and that, just like working in the weight room where you wouldn’t try the most complicated lifting routine with the heaviest weights when you’re first starting, you don’t do the hardest version of the poses when you’re starting out… and there may be a time when you decide you don’t want to do the most difficult version, also. Any yoga teacher would have asked you to correct your posture as you were so slumped over and twisted and clearly didn’t know what the focus of each of these is. There ARE poses that are dangerous and maybe should be avoided by most people who aren’t in the circus, but having a private yoga session prior to attempting your first session is so helpful to people who have any physical issues.
Bro plz let me know i have gotten slipped dis two weeks ago…first few days it was too much pain but now a bit ok…just tell me is it possible to cure without surgery? Thanks a lot
I just started your recommended exercises today. Is this related to RA? I I’ve been battling with it for 3 weeks. I have meds but not sure they are helping though it’s not as bad as it was but this morning I had a good spin happen. Hoping my world stops spinning with your exercises ��
For anyone worried in the comments,Your brain is fairly well insulated from jostling against the interior of its cranial housing unit. Most head injuries are scalp injuries rather than brain injuries and most bumps on the head are not serious. However, if you do believe you may have brain damage, PLEASE SEE YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. It’s better to check and be safe rather than sorry!
I appreciate your scientific orientation in assessing these poses. You are helping a lot of people.
I just had it all of a sudden, could it be because I’ve been sleeping late or overusing my phone for gaming? I still have it and the symptoms won’t instantly go away, but I must try this exercise you have taught here. Thank you!
Hello doctor, I’m having this problem from few months… can this be totally corrected in home by these exercises, please say I’m tensed?
If some one has cervical spondylitis VERTIGO, Does this excercise work?

Yes, don’t do these, Brad, until you are flexible enough to do these safely.
Yogi Ashton thanks for this great video always humble, your great success isn’t affecting the quality of who you are beautiful and pretty with dark hair as well as blond
I found this very helpful thank you very much. What’s the explanation for this to work please? This reminds me of a prices done in EFT with the eyes I mean…. Thanks again for this. My dizziness was really bad… Now almost gone

Hi, in addition to the comment I left below, I think everyone who is being negative towards this video is being somewhat disrespectful. Yes, everyone’s body is very different and we all have different levels of flexibility and fitness. Any form of exercise whether it be Yoga, Pilates or working out with weights in a gym needs to be done under supervision until you are able to do them correctly. Core strength and a neutral spine is key. You see guys in a gym lifting heavy weights. A gym instructor told me once that they will suffer in years to come because of putting so much pressure on the body, unless you are weight training for a purpose lower weights and more repetitions are much more effective. How many people do you see walking on a Treadmill that’s elevated, then they have both their arms forward holding onto the TV monitor screen. They are doing more harm than good as the spine is at the wrong angle, ( the gym instructor told me off for doing that) it’s better to lower the elevation and walk without holding on. As one comment I read towards this video, Bob & Brad are talking about the Yoga positions that are not good to do if you have some back problems as it could possibly make things worse, this I can relate to. Plus you can’t expect them to be doing the movements absolutely correctly when it’s something they don’t practise, they are only showing you the movements in general. No one is responsible for your body only you, everyone has an opinion but non of us should get snippy if we don’t always agree with what someone else says. We all get told nowadays in life that something is good for you yo do or eat/drink one minute then the next it’s not, we should take the information we’re given in life by different experts in their field and work it in general to your own lifestyle, remember no one thing to do no matter what it is is 100% right, I always remember what my Grandparents and parents taught me “Everything in moderation ” regard Julie from England.
So pretty much, do nothing.. Lol the rest of my body needs to healthy to oya know..
Lol all the triggered yogis. Been doing yoga for 4 years, enjoy it massively but won’t pretend for a moment it’s helped my chronic back pain (which was temporary before I started yoga, which if anything has made back pain worse in the long run) Yoga is far too static and intense, and is no good in my experience for back pain. Would not dream of doing any yoga during periods of back pain. I do yoga because I love doing yoga, not because of some hope it would help with back pain. Pilates with dynamic movement has been far more beneficial for my back pain.
Literally called my mom crying cuz I knew that I was just experiencing this. She used to have vertigo but started doing exercises as soon as she knew about them and now no longer has vertigo. The vertigo I experienced right now wasn’t that bad but I’m definitely gonna do these exercises. Thank you!!!
If I ever had Brain damage that left me u able to move think or be in pain and can’t help myself I ask my friend of family to peacefully take my life. That shit ain’t fucking worth living with
Hi
I have l4-5 s1 disc bluge can I do plank excerise. Hw to reduce weight with sciatica. I have 3 month child
It does look like you’re putting all the pressure on your back. There is so much preparation and flow that goes into a pose. Practitioners don’t just go from difficult pose to an even more difficult pose. Teachers tell students to focus on their breath and go only as far as they are ready to. It’s not a competition to have the best looking pose. And here I thought you were going to talk about the headstand and shoulderstand, which are obviously dangerous but yogis do it anyway.
We have an article with 7 Exercises you can try from home if you have herniated disc/sciatica: https://backintelligence.com/herniated-disc-exercises/ They may not help everyone. Be careful and consult with your physician to get a proper diagnoses.
Hi! Recently I started yoga 3 months back, and feeling myself light
no fatigueness, on third month of my practice I feel flexibility in my body.
With due respect I want to share my experience of yoga which brings lightness in body,stillness of mind and freedom in body movements.
Sir the way u demonstrate the yoga poses definitely it will hurt a person who attempting it first time… begginers should start yoga under experience yoga instructor to avoid any injury..as every individual is different and all yoga poses are not for everyone after knowing the person body history yoga should be started and it will definitely help a person if he or she maintains body capacity limit.To do any yoga pose u need to prepare ur body first from the base if the posture is correct a person wont hurt his or herself…yoga is a beautiful practice and it benefited me alot before that I was doing gym and always gets tired and want body massage but now I feel light and energetic, I was doing my yoga practise under yoga instructor so I feel myself more confident and connected within my breath. Never do yoga without a trainer or just seeing the poses pictures will definitely hurts u as I was feeling pain when I was watching ur video.��.sorry for that,plz dont give wrong information for the self progression.
Kind regards
Thanks!
You are a life saver, I woke yesterday with this condition, have a friend who had it years ago, but for me was the first time and it scared the hell out of me, researched the net and ended up here with your video, on the first day I got a huge improvement, I get it the most when laying on the right side and I think know it because I was diagnosed with hearing loss years ago and have tinnitus 24/7 and wax produce especially with right ear and I think have the right inner ear infected….thank you for spreading your knowledge for free.
You def should have had a yoga professional there. All of the posses you demonstrated were done incorrectly. Modifications are done until muscle strength can hold you in proper alignment to avoid injury.
I am a weird kind of person… I want to know WHY this works or doesn’t work for me.
Not a fan of Drugs that will mask my symptoms… I’d rather just address the problem and fix it.
In the last 6-8 years I have had severe Vertigo twice, back then and now, back then it was 24 hrs and gone, Now this time it has lasted 3 weeks… back then I just got a Room and by checkout time I could Drive again (wasn’t 100% but I wasn’t going to puke either)
Same symptoms as now… I turn my head to the Right too fast (the world keeps spinning and I feel like puking) if I turn slow it isn’t real bad, so I can drive as long as I don’t get into too much traffic (looking to my right at 70-80 mph) folks tell me I already rely on my mirrors too much… New Sub, Thank you for what you do
Thank you for sharing this information with the world. I have been doing the wrong stretches. I’m feeling better after doing the correct stretches. This information is vital. God Bless You.
What about excercises to avoid when you have cervical herniated disc?, can you please let me know.
Actually i hit my head several times like one month’s ago,
Now after a month i am Felling so dizzy all the time its 10 days i am feeling off balance or dizzy all the time And brain pressured ��,,.
Like does it caused by the hit which I’ve done,
Or Any other case?
Hello Bob and Brad. I am a Hatha yoga teacher, I have been teaching since 2003. I blew a disc last June (3 days of lifting heavy items, combined with heavy lifting over many years finally caught up with me) and I can tell you that all the asanas you refer to, I have already been avoiding since my injury; avoiding out of fear because after not being able to walk for two weeks, I never want to have a repeat herniated disc, but also because when attempting gently to adapt one of these poses, my back is just not ready one year on. I am healing but I will never do these stress inducing poses again, my practise will have to adapt and evolve.
Everyone is different, all circumstances are different, but for me personally as someone with an existing injury, I agree with you both entirely. I see that you tried to demonstrate the poses simply; of course you understand there would be preparation time and correct breathing to take into consideration, but your video cannot be one hour long.
I thank you two for this video, indeed all your videos, as always. I love your gentle humour and the useful information. You help people, this is a great kindness. Xx
Thank you very much guys. I have a trainer who I have tremendous respect for, and is someone I trust. He really cares for his clients. He has us do bicycle crunches and Russian twists, both of which are bending and twisting movements. In the beginning I wouldn’t do them because of your advice. Then as I got stronger I realized I could do them, so I did. After watching this video I am reminded that I should stick with my instincts and follow your advice thank you again. My point about referencing my trainer as someone I trust is that it sometimes takes more than one expert to find what is right for oneself, to find the balance.
Avoid to bending forward/rounding spine? So sorry but it’s totally wrong. I suggest you to read what Dr. O’Sullivan or Dr.Sarno explain about Herniated Discs. Sometimes pathology is in the head, not in the spine
Dr please reply my Mom is suffered from vertigo from 7 years and when she sleep and and turn her face and body to left side she feel dizzy.. She was feeling this for the first time when she wake up in the morning from her bed.. So Dr what you suggest.. Does she do this exercise for her treatment??
I’m DYING to know if you think pigeon pose is bad for people who have had a herniated disc!!
I do a lot of this stuff with my clients. Do you have any assessments you use to determine if you should focus on one side vs the other?
