I am a desktop user and I have a huge problem of neck pain. Sometimes I find it very difficult to sit even for an hour. I was looking for something which could help me solve my problem regarding the neck pain and I stopped at you.  You have provided really a very valuable information about this. Thanks for sharing.

In the last 5 weeks I encountered very painful sensations in my neck (C5/6/7) and left shoulder and left arm.  I started when grasping the low position on the race-bike-handlebars. Then it stayed non-stop painful, even walking > 100 yards made the pain-sensation in the arm almost unbearable.

...But after 1 day of McKenzie exercise (turning head to the left and pushing it a little through the barrier) 80% of the pain was gone! Slept much better (before exercise I slept 2 hrs. and then awaked by the pain) and could tilt my head again a little to see further ahead...  Now, 3 wks later, after new McKenzie exercise with the chin tucked and then bending head backwards (roll-back) and nerve-flossing, only left with some 5/10% of pain. Handlebars now 1 inch higher and cycling is possible again. Find this site very, very informative and giving good directives to patients.

Low back pain exercise: curl-up for low back pain

DateWednesday, February 22, 2012 at 11:20PM | tagged , , , , , , , , |

I just recently reworked some of the video on the exercises that I often recommend for patients.  Below is video on the curl-up, an exercise described by Stuart McGill.  This exercise is an essential exercise for most any back pain rehabilitation program.

Let me know if you have feedback or comments. More videos are forthcoming to fill out the exercises that I frequently recommend.

I've tried so many exercises to help my lower back pain... am hoping yours will do the trick! I get such pain that I'm sure I'm going to end up having to get on of those electric beds sooner or later!
