    I’ve been having some lower back pain. It almost feels like it’s in my stomach. it affects me when standing. when I bend over I can feel the muscle stretching. it helps when I sit. I’ve gained some weight so I think it has something to do with that. I’m dieting now. any thoughts? Thank you so much for all you do Doc!

    Hello Doc and all. 3 years ago I started seeing a local chiro because of sciatic pain. After a few 2 X weekly appointments, the pain went away. I then have every 2 weeks appointments for 2 and a half years , all he did was cracked my neck and back for ” alignments” . I then realise, I don’t feel any anymore improvements from his manipulations of my spine, I go there, pay 60 bucks ,get out with the same dullness in my skeletal system. I stopped seeing the chiro and started from most of you tubes self help videos which seems to be better. I plan to see a different chiro for second opinion. Am I alone in this approach? Every chiro has different ways. Thanks Doc and all.

    so basically folks, a good fundamental yoga class at home or at a studio with instructor is what he’s trying to tell you here. a guided class is better to start with for knowledge

    Dr. Mandell, thank you very much for your videos!! I tried your exercises two years ago and liked the results. I have been doing it on a continuous basis since then. Have been sharing your videos with my friends too.
    It’s hard to find the right info when there are tons on the web. Really glad to have been here! God Bless!

    I just found Dr. Mandell’s vids a few hours ago , and I am glad I did. I’m 46 years old, but a few hours ago I felt like I might’ve been 99! I hurt all over. I subscribed, then started watching vids and following exactly what the doc says, and I have to say that right now I don’t any pain whatsoever!!!!! It’s 2:15 AM EST, I should be in bed, but I feel so good that the last thing I want to do is sleep. Thanks again Dr. Mandell!

  • Riccardo Rossi

    Carissimo dr. Alan Mandell scrivo per dimostrare la mia grande gratitudine per la diffusione dei suoi preziosi video, che promuovono la buona salute pubblica.
    I also propose your videos to some of my friends that study the English language; yours is not the British accent, but surely, it is a very good American English.
    So why not improve one’s health, while improving the English language knowledge at the same time ?

    I can’t do the one at 3:25 minutes. I get serious cramping in my muscles if I try moves like that.
