Improving flexibility in one major joint can help improve the flexibility in other joints. 2) Divide the areas that need improvement into upper body and lower body. 3) Select 2-3 stretches that you will work on each day for your upper or lower body.When targeting the lower body, make sure that you improve all areas such as the ankles, legs, knees, and hips.

The strength of your lower body is fundamental to your movements.If you’ve had hip or back surgery, you should talk to your doctor before doing lower-back flexibility exercises. While stretching, it’s very important to listen to your body.

What stretches, etc. would you suggest for seniors enduring sciatic pain? Trying to perform beginner level core training—even when not lifting both legs simultaneously—activates the pain and has caused sciatic pain on the side not previously affected.
Thanks I over worked my muscles running this help me release pain
I can’t even do the 3rd stretch, my left leg and thigh can’t go that way at all
Hey Dr. I have done Mri scan and it shows I have swollen illuim bone or erosion of that bone so which exercise I can do?
I love it! My body feels so light afterwards!! I will do it regularly.
While i was riding my bike, I fell off and landed on my butt and now my lower back only hurts when i have to grab something from the coffee table cuz i have to bend my back a little. Im only 13 as well:(
I had for 2 weeks pain around my hip and that sucks wen you do a sport like american football so i tried this now most of the pain is gone im going to try this a couple more times. I guess we just have a bad cooldown. Atleast i think.
Hi, im one of your subscribers. Just wondering wheres the linktobook online.thanks
I didn’t have a strap, so I used a belt. It works very well. Thanks:)
I tried lifting up my legs on the wall..my legs are not going straight but is in a bendy position.. it’s very difficult to get that straight with lots of pain how to correct this
Not sure if I’m ready for a 9 minutes stretching programme.
Edit: nevermind, it’s just 90 seconds.
I feel like i have pain in my hip and upper thighs but I don’t feel any problem in working, running or walking but when i sit i feel pain sometimes
You make me so relieved, I feel so much better. I’m training for my karate, which I gotta do highkicks; and this will definitely help.
Thank you so much Dr, literally heard a crack/pop in the area that I was trying to stretch just after moving my hip to the right slightly at 2:35 and it feels so much better now and it’s looser too
Should I be doing these stretches while I’m experiencing sciatic pain or wait until the pain eases up?
At 19 years old this really helped me a lot, I was shocked how badly my back hurts but I’ll be doing this a few times a week now
0:44 1:27 1:47 2:40 – 3:06 3:35 4:23 5:15 6:05 6:56 7:27
since I was little I could’nt touch my toes
two weeks after watching this I FINALLY DID IT even if its just a little tap right now at least I improved
Its still amaze me just how a lot of people do not know about Penlargerem System despite the fact that a lot of people increase their size when erections with it. Thanks to my personal mate who told me about it. I have increase my size when erections with natural ways.
Thanks bud, I’m trying out a number of these. Tall man and a 24 hr drive in a compact car does not feel good.
Does anyone know how long the workouts/sessions are? I’m asking because I work 7 days a week ( full time at the hospital and full time with our lawn care business ). I need to fit this into my schedule and knowing how long each session is will help me 100%.
you look like Christy Carlson Romano! (voice actor of kim possible)
is it harder for some people? for example i can’t touch my toes but i think its partially because i have long legs and short arms
I have recently started running and my hips were killing me last night. These stretches are magic. I’m going to do it more often now.
I started watching your videos due to rotator cuff pain and a nagging SI joint issue. Now I just watch because I enjoy your videos. Especially the intros!
Hi Doctor, Thanks for the video.. I had Tibia fracture and hip bone dislocation both on right leg. i was put on Ilizarov frame since 1 year and now that has been removed 15 days back. I am having Trendelenburg sign, cant walk normal as in advised not to put full weight on my leg. Please suggest exercise to heal it.. i am very scared
Great video,just gets on with showing you what you need to do,no useless chatter of what he’s been through etc
THANK YOU!! these hip exercises have allowed me to play golf virtually pain free. thank you thank you thank you!
anyone knows what is the name of this excercise or position @ 1:16?
I can verify she is a doctor just by the way she is talking… best of luck doc…
I hav super tight hip flxrs. Which stretches give a lateral stretch to hip flxrs? Thanx.
I have lumbar lordoisis, due to which my lower back and both the legs are paining. These exercises are amazing, can they help my severe leg pain too?
Thank you so much!!! Instantly felt better after following this advice
These videos have been fabulous during the quarantine no gym, no physio, but Dr Jo is still here!
How do you download the PDF? I allowed about 10 different extension and it still didn’t work.
Oh my, all the tension in my groins literally disappeared after doing this. Can actually sit cross legged on the floor without pain now and hopefully in a couple days I can return to training (from having two weeks off), thank you so much!
Cobra stretch is THE WORST STRETCH for my low back. Makes things much worse every time I do it
In video 1:03, your stretch are for Gluteus Maximus
or Erector Spinae? Both muscles are also stretched?
wow ok I didn’t know the last hamstring stretch and it hurt like a bitch. I had no idea you had to address hamstring in parts. Thanks a lot.
Best leg stretches ever! Been doing this for years. I love you guys.
Thanks isolation and not active job lower back hurts. Will do streches daily
The exercise at 2:12 worked an absolute dream! Thank you so much
I’ve been having chronic right big toe and foot arch pain that has seemingly migrated up into my right hip. Very arthritic-feeling. My hip was sooo tight and it doesn’t help that were quarantined in California and I’m losing my mind and not being very active. I just took about a 30 minute walk and came home and found this video. I did the entire routine, and boy those hip circles are REALLY tough! There’s no way I could do them without grabbing something, we are talking zero core stability. Thanks Jo for a great routine and a bright, no-nonsense presentation. Dios mio, I think I had better take a yoga class. I’m a 44 year old 70 year old!
Wow. I cannot believe how good I feel after one session. Thank you so much Dr. Jo for this video!
So now that im in my early 60s…. more pains and watching all your videos. Thx.
hello! i just found your videos and am so happy i did. i have RSD, fibromyalgia, piriformis syndrome, siatica, post concussion syndrome. is there any exercises i can do for RSD? fibro? ive had RSD and fibro for 20 years but got rearended one year ago and that gave me many more problems as if i needed that. RSD is too much to handle for anyone. it is about 85% of my body now but started with my left knee with the bursa sacks bursting from getting hit by bumper of car then went to RSD lucky me. my right hip is hurting sooooo much now aswell because of the accident a yr ago, i have bad migraines and headaches almost everyday, had whipllash and i dont think its gone away. the covid months have been horrible and made me worse and much more weak in the legs. what can i do to strengthen my muscles. thanks for the hip exercises and neck exercises, i am doing those but cannot put my head back, it is bad if i do that. thankyou for your time and i love your videos. have a great day.
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve done the exercises once a day for a week and seen a huge improvement in hip flexibility and balance
For some reason i can do all of these except the deep squat. Why? I tried standing how a deep squad suggests but my muscles feel sort of bunched when i do this, not really a comfortable feeling. Any specific reason for this?
Hi Dr. Jo I love your stretches and I feel safe with you. I’m 65 and a bit over weight and now i’m in quarantine I would like to ask you if you have “real Time ” stretching class, it would really help during this time that we have to do everything alone.
So glad I found this video! I’m working from home and the sitting is killing my lower back. Did these stretches and will continue to do them. Thanks!

I’m doing martial arts and this is great for helping my flexibility going for head kicks
I had abdominal surgery just over 2 months ago, and it’s so amazing how tight my body is now. I can barely touch my toes, but I’m so happy to have started. I know it will take a while, but I will be much more flexible in no time with these stretches
I have a frustrating question Doctor!!
So I have been struggling with osteoarthritis in my Ankle for 8 years now, at first I couldn’t do anything I was in severe pain 24/7, for the past few years the pain got easier and the past 1.5 year I started running which I couldn’t do before because it was impossible to attempt and I been working out recently, now here’s the question my ankle is not as stiff as before but it’s still not a 100% flexible so I’m struggling I squat “now can someone with osteoarthritis in the ankle possibly get the flexibility back with stretching even doe they have osteoarthritis or am I going to be stiff forever???
Thanks so much, KelliI have started adding this on after leg day and it is helping so much. I also run and typicallly spend at least a couple a days a week hobbling in pain (esp. if I incorporate one of your Brutual Butt workouts into leg day). This is a great stretch and I particularly love all the hamstring variations. Much appreciated!
Omg he’s talking about the things you need to keep in mind okay let him talk
I feel great n so relaxed after 4 months of delivered baby my muscles were tight as it can b…dis video helped

It is amazing seeing how far Fitness Blender has gotten and how many lives it has changed. I am thankful for this channel.
Omg dude stfu and get on with the exercise!! The worst! I’ll never watch anything from this talking head again
Dr. Jo I am clear to exercise. I had a right hip survery. Can you recommend a safe exercise because I dont think Im suppose to do the butterfly stretch. Thank you for the recommendations.
If I’m not feeling any pain, can I do this stretch every day? Or must I stick to doing it two to three times a week?
Should I tell the person who commented the link to this video on a post that my legs just suck at walking and being normal
What stretches, etc. you suggest for relieving the pain of siatica?
I dont understand why my hamstrings are even tight like they are extremely tight,hard. I havmt worked a sedentary job. I walk all day…
Thank you so much! I love routine videos if you create any where we can follow along.

Thank you so much! I have a race tomorrow I’m really nervous but after these stretches I’m confident!
So much chatter. Can you please help us first and then sell your product?
Is it normal for your legs to shake when raising too hight and full straight? Or only me:/
I’m 5’11 and have never been able to reach my legs. I’m gonna give this a go!
I used to litteraly bring my legs to my face. Then I went to the gym and did deadlifts for 3 weeks straight without proper stretching and there I am, I can’t even do a 90 degree
Appreciate Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about Franaar Showy Look Formula (search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for unlocking the trick to control sciatica without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.
Hi man I like your but I’m not sure about my leg pain. I have pain in my left leg and feel muscle pain and I have pain in my neck too buc I do work everyday 12 hour by standing and 2 hour my head still down..
Ever since i was a child I always deep squat instead of standing
Sir, saw the video its nice.
I m from India i got scoliosis and syringomylie, got operated in September 2016, but still m unable to walk without the support of walker. My right leg its very difficult for me to move my right leg without any support. Please guide me Sir.
Dr. Jo thank you so much for your videos! It is so empowering that I can learn how to help myself. I have seen spine surgeons, chiropractors, acupuncturists and physical therapists and they certainly tried (and often did) address the issue at hand. But other issues continue to come up. You have given your viewers the opportunity to address their own ailments… and you do it in a kind, simple-to-follow way. You have really helped me and I am so grateful.
I’m glad you kept on saying breathe normally because if you didn’t I would probably pass out
Dude! I can’t thank you enough, I lost my lower back’s flexibility to an injury but now it’s getting better again! Thank you so very much:D
Got to grin and bear it
Gritting the teeth
If you need to bite harder
Chew on some beef
All things must pass
The pain won’t last
But stretching your hamstring’s a real pain in the ass

Hi dear please made video on tight hip flexors stretchs….for those who have apt
everyone is complaining about how much he talks… but let me tell you this little exercise really works wonder for me! i am 30yrs old.. i couldn’t touch my feet last so many years… i dont hav ms thought. But after i followed this technique i was able to touch my feet in a week.
one thing i would also like to xplain that i had a severe tight hamstrings as wit straight legs i could not even sit.
thankyou soooo much… luv from India…
Thank you Dr.Jo. Your videos make a difference, very clear, informative and fun. Above all effective.
wooooooow I’m a rollerblade skater and trained earlier today, almost the entire morning. Getting home and doing these stretches has helped me a lot. I feel brand new:D thank you soooooo much:D
I like that the instructions are to the point and given in an straightforward eloquent way, makes it much easier to follow
I’m here to get a little bit more flexible, very grateful I maintained the ability to butterfly stretch after nine years lol. I can still press my head to my feet with my knees flat.
Not fond of the background music playing while you are talking. With cognitive issues, too many variables make it difficult to focus on the task at hand. The information is great!
Really good video! You explained the stretches so well and even catered for people with big bellies like me!
I’m having some neck pain while doing the rocking stretch… Any tips to figure out what I’m doing wrong?
I am 36 years old and out of shape for my entire life. I couldn’t touch my toes even as a child without bending my legs. When I started doing this routine, I couldn’t really even reach past my knees when bending over. It’s been about six weeks now. I do this about every day, and some days I do it 2-3 times. I use it as a warm up and a cool down. After two weeks I could touch my toes. After a month I could rest my knuckles on the floor. Six weeks in and I can put my palms flat on the floor. Range of motion is better in all of the muscle groups. The video is the perfect length and variety…I don’t get bored but the stretches are held for long enough to really make a difference every time I do it. My life is changed. Thank you!
Stretching is one of the most important things in any exercise or workout!
I suffer from courier-itis of the lower back. 15-20 mins every day has really helped me relieve stiffness and increase my flexibility. Another great benefit is its helped my golf swing too.
Thank you. I’m a security officer and I think since we walk a slower pace my hips become stiff.
Hi Dr. Jo my wife and I found you doing stretches so we subscribed, I am two years post stroke today. Yep doing better than most and very thankful for that. Thank you for your videos.
I think the exercises you’ve showed will help me a lot in my present condition. I have accentuated lumbar lordosis but along with I have paralyzed lower extremities thus I am having PT sessions to be able to sit down, stand up & walk. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to us. God bless.
Wow i love thisssss thank you sooo much i felt it instantly❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just had 5 weeks of horrible sciatica. Now my piriformis muscle is very tight. I’m having little muscle spasms in lower bk when I wake up in the morning:/ hoping this will help ♡ ty
Wow I did not realize I was tight in so many areas. Thanks for this video. You talking through really helped me not wimp out with the hard ones.
Could you send link for purch of ur plum foam cushion? I totally need that for knee lunges. My yoga matt not enuff support. Thanx.
I dont have time to do this immedietely after working out can I like do it a few hours later??
Will give your routine in the gym tomorrow…Am totally inflexible…would like to change that.
I can do all of these with success, however, I have a question on the touching the toes part. I can touch my toes, with relative comfort. My intention is to have my chest touch my knees, I saw that an individual needs to stretch the hamstrings for that otherwise the lower spine is damaged? I’ve noticed my back rounds a bit too much any tips?
I luv this video makes me feel more fit and calmer keep on going you rock! =3

This is my favorite lower body stretch workout!:) woot woot! 2018!
I’ve been struggling for ages trying to correct my posture and only quite recently found out I have tight hip flexors through a stranger on twitch who told me about it and helped me out. I’m so thankful to them because now I can start fixing it and your video is so helpful. I’m quite young (14) so even tho a few of these were quite easy for me to do I didn’t realise how much they would actually make me stretch and I feel great after doing them. Thank you so much, this is so helpful and I’m definitely going to do these before I do workouts and just every day.
Working from home I must be sitting more than normal, a lot more I’m an active person and my hips have been so sore. Thank you!
It’s a wonderful workout session for tired and sore legs. Love you guys so much.Stay blessed always:)
Nice information Dr Mam. I am experiencing shoulder pain for few months. I am active athlete. 5-10, 72 kg. Please help. Regards.
Hi Doctor Jo, would this help with sacroilliac joint? I get a lot of pain in my hip, both the lower back area and the hip crest. I do various stretches but it’s always there.
@fitnessblender thank you so much for theese workouts! My mom does your workouts every day.
This helps relieve my back and leg pain! i was suffering from lower back pain for a long time! this stretches are really helpful
Much appreciated.
I have a lateral patellar pull which is breaking down the cartilage in my knee. Would increasing my flexibility help ease some of the pain?
There should be an option in YouTube to love the video!! Love it. Thanks

Need to do an antianxiety routine for virus related stress, please!

I’ve been doing exercises for losing weight for almost a year now and I thought I needed to improve my flexibility next.
I did this video yesterday
I’m doing it again tonight but I can’t hardly touch my toes so I’ll try to do it 2 or 3 times like you recommend I guess:’))
Is stretching different then strengthening? I had a Laminectomy at L3/4 in November. No physical therapy was recommended, just return to normal activity. (no hardware). I “pull” a muscle every time I try to return to normal. I love your stretches for the long muscles in the back, how can I build strength back?
Had intense pain in the lower back, could barely bend over or walk/run due to playing basketball when out of form. This helped a ton, thanks.
Thanks, this was really helpful, and appreciate you gave it for free!
Can i know what brand is your pillow/ i have severe arthritis and sciatica and need a pillow for when i’m working out laying on the floor
Can you please do a video tutorial on how to use a massage ball to alleviate hip pain?
Hi Jo, thanks for this video! I have very tight hips and this has helped. On your third stretch, I get sharp inguinal pain on the left with the left stretch. Do you recommend anything to give that region a deeper stretch or just keep doing these and eventually the tightness and the pain will go away?
Coronavirus is infecting so many please consider to turn to Jesus people he died for your sins, turn away from your sins. Confess your sins to God obey Jesus teachings, believe in him for eternal life or be judged by God. Ask God to keep you safe live for God now during these times, God bless the doctors and staff on the front lines during this time and God bless you all during this time. I do love you all but I promise that Jesus loves you all more than any of us can understand. Please turn to Jesus while there is still time.
It’s a great video. The explanation is way too fast especially for someone who is new to lumbar stretches. Would be awesome to have the exercises broken down into steps with all angles for the real beginner
Dude you just saved my life cause lower back pain has been a struggle for me.
I thank you sir my pain has been overwhelming and this has helped tremendously
Thanks for the video content! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched Dinanlinson Straightening Life Approach (just google it)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to cure lower back pain minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate finally got great results with it.
Would you plz put the better exercises to start w in the beginning of the video? Thank you
As a physician, This guy will have joint replacements by fifty.
I cannot do that hip flexor stretch. Are there other ways to do it without getting on my knees?
Thank u so much just doing 3 streches helps a lot, having a lower back pain badly and these stretches ease the pain, i will continuosly follow this..
Thank you such much for sharing, very kind, extremely helpful
My lower back is often tight and painful when we go for walks. Ive had two kids and both I had spinal blocks which are known to cause back pain in life. I tried some of these and tbh I felt a bit of relief! Will try every day to do one or two of the stretches
I guess I am doing the butterfly stretch incorrectly because I can’t let my back and arms straight at the same time…
You are a master of making videos. I was never bored. Straight to the point and enjoyable. Thank you. I’m going to try these stretches tomorrow morning and start my routine.
This is awesome! i dont know what happened with that last stretch but i just started crying lol is that normal
These are some really good stretches! I have suffered back pain most of my life but the only way I was able to manage it and could keep exercising is to stretch regularly and use a roller foam. I have scoliosis pretty bad but am still able to play basketball 6 days a week at nearly 50. Couldn’t do it without the yoga stretching and roller foam (I never did the surgery although it was suggested…all those who did it experienced more pain after the surgery, so I would avoid surgeries unless it is last resort….).
Thank you! If you’re active and experience ongoing back pain like me, how often would you do this? Daily? I do stretch with similar exercises about 3-4 times per week but I haven’t been as intentional and doing the holds long enough or enough sets.
I think he talks too much too. I like the information that he gives but he’s very repetitive. I believe that Video could have been done in half the time. If we want to hear something again we can just watch the video again.
A little less conversation; a little more action please… skip to 4mins before anything actually happens

Dr Jo My name is Dom, I have neck, upper/lower back, and once in awhile hip pain. I try to crack everything area to help but doesn’t work all the time. I just found your channel and I was wondering what I can do at home to help with the pain. Background: was in the military for 5 years. Rucking and being that I was airborne took its toll on my back. I also had a dirt bike crash was off my left leg for awhile and I noticed once in awhile I’ll favor my right leg as if my left leg is shorter
Couple years ago I injured my right knee. I cannot achieve a deep knee bend for squats or for child’s pose. How do I ever get the knee function back?

How effective is Penlargerem System? We’ve noticed many amazing things about this popular natural male enhancement.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve had an outer hip pain for the past few days and these stretches gave me some much needed relief.
I’m actually doing this despite me being fat, but not that overweighed, it’s more like belly fat, so I believe I can do it.
Thanks so much mate! This video has really helped me with lower back pain, cheers!
This is a very good routine. Could do without the stupid GEICO ad right in the middle of one stretch, make me want to go with Nationwide or Allstate.

My thighs pains alot while sitting and getting up after i do exercise… please suggest something
Thank you Jo. I’m finding your hip and piriformis stretches to be useful.
First and foremost, if the muscles of the hamstrings are tight, coulc.it/painfix they are more susceptible to tearing. No matter if you’re an elite athlete, stay-at-home-mom or average Joe, a muscle tear in the back of your legs can take months to heal and recover from making life very challenging.
Thanks Dr. Jo; I watched several of your videos and I like them all;
Hey, Dr Jo, I have lose hips & lose hip muscles that sometimes go really tight; what’s the best stretches to help the pain?? I also have a nerve in my back that gets pinched due to Levoscoliosis; is there a stretch that I can do to help with that pain to??
Hi! If i start doing these every day how much time before i feel relief from daily hip pain? Approximate time frame that would be normal to start seeing change? I am 29 years old
Thank you so much! I had a nasty pain in my hip due to a walk lasting 2.5 hours the day before, which was made worse by sleeping in an uncomfortable position, but it cleared up almost completely about an hour after doing these stretches, I can’t thank you enough!
I woke up this morning and my lower back is in pain. I found your channel and I did all the exercises in this video and the pain decreased a lot. Now I’m doing a cold compress. Thank you for this video.
I need this in my life. I have bad posture due to my spinal alignment. I have pain on the right side of my body: Neck, Shoulder/blade, and sacro-lumbar region. This should help right?
Does the program teach how to accomplish learning the split?
Wow I never comment on videos. But I have struggling with lower back for a couple days and did a few of these exercises and now I feel 1000 times better. Thank you for sharing this video.
Deep squatting is as natural as pooping for people of my country
Think I have hip bursitis from doing a lot more walking recently this 5 minute routine has really help relieve the pain. Thank you.
What is a good stretch for the hamstring attachment (buttocks) area?
Thank you! That tucking in your pelvis for the hip stretch was fantastic I knew I’d find a new one. Great content:)
What if i cant do these stretches with my back straight
It always arches back
These were great! This is alleviating a lot of tension that’s building in my hips/glutes while I learn to ride a motorcycle.
Hi Jo thank you from New Zealand. My right hip sits slightly forward from pregnancy 12 years ago which I never addressed. Would I use these exercises on my right side or left side? Thank you

I just wanted to comment in hopes I help someone reading this: this exercise is amazing for my piriformis syndrome/sciatica. I feel absolutely amazing after this, nearly immediately. I pair this workout with their lower back/sciatica stretch video (i do not have lower back issues but whew, does this feel great either way. I highly recommend this video for anyone suffering from this horrible nerve pain because this really does make it all melt away!
Thanks for this!!!! Greatly helped me today after incident yesterday… feeling more confident in recovery process now
I know this isn’t a related video, but it would help a lot if you could tell me a stretch I could do to get rid of the pain in the tendons behind my knee. I over extended my knee and it’s been hurting for a few weeks and the stretches I’ve been doing have not helped. Also I am new to your channel, so if you already have a video relating to this that would be great to know.

Doctor Jo where do you get that cushion you are using under your knee here ( the purple one)
Excellent presentation and great instruction. The future of medicine includes a place for physio videos. You are doing your viewers and patients a great service. Many times it’s possible to find better advice on channels like this than in doctor’s office.

Dr. Jo, I used to love to do the figure four piriformis stretch but, I have not been able since last April 2019 because of my left knee. Perhaps as I continue to strengthen my knee I will be able to do it again. Do you think with all your videos this might happen eventually?❤
Fractured left pelvis,sacrum and l2-l5 7 months ago and now when I walk, I limp in my left leg. Any suggestions from anyone so that I can walk normal again, it really makes me insecure.
