Treatment for spinal stenosis can produce immediate and long lasting back pain relief. I’ve prepared a video today that demonstrates one of the simple back pain exercises I use to treat spinal stenosis.
Spinal stenosis is a condition that is characterized by narrowing of the opening through which the nerve exits the spine. It is related to degenerative disc desease, disc herniation, disc bulging, or disc protrusion.
In many cases tight muscles that attach to the spine or pelvis can cause the spinal opening to narrow. Because of this narrowing, sciatica (pinched nerve) symptoms can ensue.
One of the muscles that affects the position of the pelvis is the rectus femoris muscle. A tight rectus femoris results in the pelvis rotating forward which can cause the spine to bend backwards, resulting in further narrowing of the spinal opening.
By effectively stretching the rectus femoris, the pelvis is able to maintain its normal position, thus reducing the negative influence it could have on the spine.
More back pain relief treatment for spinal stenosis can be found in the Erase Your Back Pain program.

Not bad at all, but this topic is rather little of interest. Please do not disappoint your readership.
These exercises are not meant for everyone. While you may not see the benefit from this particular exercise, i can assure you patients who are dealing with the effects of sciatica or stenosis benefit tremendously from this exercise. if there is a subject related to back pain you would like me to write about, do let me know. i appreciate your feedback.
I did this and couldn’t believe how tight my muscles were. I have hypermobility in my scroilliac joint, weak glutes and inflamation in and around my buttock area, I am also doing other exercises and one I really like is the one for the periformous muscle which is really helping. Yours information is the only one I can find that actually is talking about the problems I have. Thank you Julie
If you do have a table as the one shown in a Physical Therapist’s office, where do you suggest a person go in their own home to do this exercise correctly, without causing further damage to an already weakened system?
