I have 3 levels of herniated disks. After 18 years of pain Qigong is what helps most. I no longer take any pain medication. THIS ROUTINE is my pain medication!!! I am more energetic and my range of motion is fantastic! I'm 54 and I keep up with my twin 8 yr old grandchildren! Thank you so much Nick!!! You are truly making a difference in peoples lives!!!!
It was this session and the one for neck and shoulder pain that brought me to you. It's been 3 years ! Amazing. I am so grateful to have found you. That I keep on with the qigong is partly because I just love it but your enthusiasm, kindness, generosity, knowledge and humour and more keeps me a most loyal pupil. These freebies and the Patreon sessions are a mainstay for me. Thank you and thank you, dear Nick.
Have been lost in a fog of stress so thick I haven't even been able to continue with my practice but today I found the strength to break the cycle & the fog is lifting. Thank you
In the last few months of 2020, I began to notice significant back and leg restriction which developed into significant pain and immobility. I found Qigong here on CZcams and have been intuitively regular practice with different teachers. Today I found you! Wow! This feels so right in my energy system and in breaking up the chi in my lower back and legs. Thank you so much for sharing in this format because I couldn’t have known what to do otherwise. I’m 69, and I’m looking forward to my practicing on this channel and becoming more active and vital. I was getting concerned. ☺️🙏🏽
I don’t believe it! I crawled out of bed with lower back pain this morning and now feel back to normal. There is so much healing in your practice. I sleep now from doing the sleep practice and if I think I might have a worrying day I do the anxiety one. Thank you so much for everything you give us. Thank you from my heart.
Lower back 'twinging' has been irritating me for a while now so I am grateful to have found this video, which has literally made my backache disappear!! I have been a Quigong convert for over 2 years now and the difference it makes is astonishing. I love your practices over anyone else and will continue to follow you and I always share with friends and family. Thank you Nick.
These exercises really helped my lower back pain and general sense of well-being. Thanks so much for your always clear instruction and for making this something I look forward to doing.
This is such a magical era for your work. When I watch these older videos you get to a point where you mention the final form I'm like "no way that has been 40 minutes, I am in the ZONE and time is not real right now!!!" Thanks a million, my friend.
I have lower back problems. This video is absolutely excellent. It is so challenging, but relieves the back tension. Thank you for explaining the energetics of the Fountain.
Thank you so much Nick. This is amazing and already in small ways I can feel a change in my back pain which I have had for so many years. Your teaching and calm approach really bring hope and make me sent to keep going, thank you.
I’ve been doing yoga for many years but since I’ve started a new career as a therapist, I’m sitting for many hours during the day and yoga isn’t helping anymore! My back started spasming a few days ago and I’ve been in constant pain UNTIL I did this video and the upper back one. This is what’s been missing in my life! I will start doing these exercises during my work day and in the morning and when I get home. I’m looking forward to a huge reduction in pain. Thank you!
I have been having back pain for about 10 months now, after a few falls. I have 4 herniated discs. PT is not helping. This was very relaxing and I could feel the energy moving. I like the way you took the time to explain and demonstrate each position. It was easy to follow. I look forward to a healthier back and to attain some more inner peace. Thank you.
I was in terrible low back pain when I started and now at the end of the practice my body has loosened up and the pain is gone. Thank you for sharing your story and these dynamic practices. It all works like magic as you say. I feel peaceful and calm and can enjoy my weekend now.
Reminds me so much of Lee Holden- similar voice! I think you were probably trained by Lee? But I prefer you, no offense to lovely Lee :) I’ve done this for 3 days and definitely feel a difference. The freedom in hips and pelvis is subtle, but it’s definitely there and I’ve been trying to have that in PT for awhile. I also really feel the stuck energy moving and completely agree that this is the source of my general chronic pain. It’s the first qigong I’ve done that I can relax enough to do for 40 minutes. So relaxing.. The whole thing just makes sense...very grateful for this, thanks Nick!!
Wow, what a great review! ;) Yes, I interned with Lee for several years. Even helped him film stuff in this exact location! haha Glad the routine has resonated :)
Thank you, Nick! Love your focus and how your voice and instruction calm my nervous system and muscles. Great session. So relaxing. Just what I need. ❤
Nice spine mobilization. Good reminders to pay attention to our low back. Water sound very peaceful. Sorry about the plane passing by at the end... Thank you veru much.
Yes, good training for the low back regardless of pain or not! When we were shooting I was wondering if that plane sound would get picked up by the mic!
From time to time I have mild low back pain and this 40 min set of exercises always removes this pain. Thank you for this video. Greetings from Poland.
Followed this today, just a neophyte. I appreciate the explanations of what the body is doing, various views of same motion. I've had low back pain that nothing has alleviated until I found Qigong. My left hip inside pelvic muscle pops unexpectedly. Seem to get a lot of energy stuck there, now I can feel it and release the energy instead of having is cramp the muscles. I'm getting more flexibility back, and my dream is to get me back on my horse! Worth the journey - it is always worth it - Thank-you
Hi Nick, I came across your you tube videos a couple of months ago. I echo many of the sentiments previously shared. You are a great teacher. The instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Thanks for your generosity of spirit.
Hi! What unusual exercises! Some of them I have never seen. What I like in the way you teach is that there is no endless bla-bla-bla, like other instructors do, you get down straight to the point, and that's very good, time is precious. I looked through your video archive and decided to start doing the exercises from the first ones.. Today I have tried this one, awesome job! I feel great. And thanks for answering to my yesterday's comment. You are right, the lessons that I do on a daily basis are rather different, but I always bear in mind my physical condition at the present moment. So, it's ok. Thanks for the session, take care and stay safe. Larissa, Moscow, Russia (65 y.o.)
Thank you for this. I found the shorter version a few days ago when my back was very sore and I came back to find this longer one. I love the pace, the movements and the clarity of your instruction. I'm delighted to have found you and will enjoy exploring your content. Oh yes - forgot to say that my back eased significantly after the first shorter one and today not only does my back feel great but I feel much more expansive, present and content overall. Many thanks
Fantastic! Thank you so much Nick. This is an excellent routine with really good instructions. God bless you mate, you’ve helped me very much and a great many more people in pain I’m sure.
Great class. The subtle approach is great for dissolving blockages where other styles can sometimes reinforce the underlying tension patterns. Thank you 😊
Well, Nick, I haven't done this one for a while. I'm pretety sure that it was this practice and the shoulder one which I found at the beginning of covid. Changed my life, you have ! Way to go. Thank you for all the great sessions. Each and every one is a treasure.
So agree with Qigong over yoga for joint pain. I have an annoying disc that pops from time to time, so all forward bends are 100% out. It's entirely possible to adapt your routine to standing or semi squatting and the warrior 1 keep moving, as with all Qigong movements, feels so much healthier for the joints than yoga long holds, especially too much downward dog which has caused problems for others I know as well. I had a frozen shoulder which I put down to arthritis and was constantly painful and movement limited. As you said, I suddenly realised since starting Qigong, the pain has at least halved and it moves so much more. Thanks again Nick and keep the joint and immunity vids coming please!
This is just brilliant Nick. I injured my back with a lot of simultaneous twisting and lifting and this has really helped release the tension and ease what was quite intense pain. I plan to keep with this, even as the pain disappears because I appreciate how much it enhances one's awareness of the muscles and movements around the lower back. Really vital for well-being. Thank you for this generous gift.
I just found Qigong. Having lower back pain for about 3 years, herrinated disc. Now back of legs and calves started hurting and shoulders. Did this video twice, the right side of my back started hurting during the session today, also the hamstring very painful on the bendings. But I really enjoy tie relaxing manner. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for your good teaching. I think it got better in the lower back after one session, I will definitely try it every day for a while. My coccyx has grown crookedly together with the lower lumbar vertebra, so I'm always in a bit of pain. And now that menopause has set in, I wake up every morning with pain in my lower back, pelvis and hips, so I hope these exercises can make a difference. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🤗
Hello, This was a great lesson. I have been working from home since March 2020 and my lower back pain began soon after. I started seeing a chiropractor last June which helps a bit with other issues but not the muscle pain/strain in my lower back. You do an excellent job describing the breathing and the moves. I was surprised I could send my belly breath to my lower back! I will do this one often, I believe I may be able to reverse the pain. Thank you also for choosing such a relaxing setting in which to film. Nature is very high on my 'things that calm' list. Mary
Thank you Nick 🙏 as ever inspirational and brilliant Qi Gong instructor. I have had a sacrum injury and lower back, this wonderful routine is really helping and strengthening my recovery. Much gratitude 🙏
Thanks Nick. Great routine. This set makes me acutely aware how much tension I hold in the body, especially in the back and neck, which are hurting at this time. Valuable info.
Thank you so much for sharing this qigong rutine .....it has really helped my back and given me the encouragement to continue practicing qigong daily. 🌿
I have 3 levels of herniated disks. After 18 years of pain Qigong is what helps most. I no longer take any pain medication. THIS ROUTINE is my pain medication!!!

Thank you Nick for your kindness sharing your expertise. So ! glad to have found you. Anne :)

It’s raining and QiGong class was cancelled so I found this Low Back was a wonderful fill in for the day. Thanks again
wonderful chi gong class! thank you sooo much.

You are very welcome. Hope your healing is going well!

I wrench my back somehow after doing my daily routine of shibashi, rope flow, and light dumbbells. This routine fixed in after 2 applications!😎😁
Heaven in every sense. Thank you

Take it slow. We don't want the cure to be worse than the disease, as they say. I hope you've found some benefit though!
@@TheNickLoffree thank you, if I may ask, when you say take it slow so you mean I shouldn't do it?

Awesome! Let me know how it goes :D My Swimming Dragon video is another good one.
Holy Cow! That was great,
Clear instruction, perfect pace; thanks 😌
Excellent, thank you!
