I have no words. My mom was in pain for last two years. Specially in winter. I'm very surprised that these two simple exercises vanished the pain in just three days. Now she is able to walk..
So glad to hear this. All the best to you and your mom. Cheers!
What a discernible difference these exercises made in my overall physical well being! I experienced the best sleep last night since I sustained injury to my back [disc herniation] over a month ago! The pain in my left hip and anterior thigh disappeared, and a majority of the left leg paresthesia dissipated to the degree that my bed sheets don't feel like sandpaper anymore! Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable information with the collective - what a blessing!
I am just starting my journey to heal and stretch myself out. Stories like your are inspiring to hear 👍
I just did this last night, pain I have been having for the past year has disappeared overnight. Thank you very much guys.
Old video, new to me though. Started having this pain. Left outer thigh numb, burning, tingling itching sensation. Recently lost 45 pounds in 6 months and this started. Did these stretches and already “just tonight” I have some feeling in that thigh....THANK YOU...THANK YOU....VERY THANKFUL!!!!!
First time I have had useful information about what to try and do for self help re femoral nerve disfunction. Debilitating pain that none of my doctors r helping me with. This at least gives me something to try. My UK docs useless and make u feel like ur neurotic..just get on with it attitude with no concept of the pain experienced with this condition at its worst. I think it is so much harder when u have an underlying condition. UK as if Docs r bored of seeing u so r immune to the idea of a new problem emerging. My continual experience is that we have a real culture problem in this country with doctors in general practice and in hospitals eg consultants, registrars etc who think their own stresses more important than patients the r supposed to serve. A superiority complex rife. Thank goodness for sites like this that show health professionals giving caring, useful advice with a natural respect for the patients. Will get back and report when I have tried these exercises.
I'm honestly stunned - I can't believe the degree of relief I got from this and how quickly it took effect. I'd been having a nasty burning pain in my thigh and was struggling to sleep at all, and especially not on my side. After following these just once I immediately noticed a significant improvement in the burning pain and I slept so comfortably on my side for the first time in what felt like forever. Thank you so, so much for this demonstration!
This is the Magical Femoral Nerve Stretch!!!!!! I have been trying many different approaches to stretching, to alleviate the pain in my hip and ability to climb stairs with leg weakness from the nerve entrapment. This worked!!! In a really short time I gained back strength in my leg and less pain. Thank you for sharing this amazing stretch! I have been searching and working at releasing the femoral nerve with numerous other stretches but this one was the key in almost immediate relief! I will definitely incorporate this to my daily workout and stretching routine.
I am glad you are seeing some results. Cheers!
Ok, I just got some instant relief from these. I have femoral neuropathy. Laid down and my thigh was on fire. Started searching CZcams and found this. Got my lazy ass up and hit the floor. They were a bit painful to execute. But when I got up, I could tell a difference. Gonna do this a few times a day now.
Agree with the other previous comments. I have been experiencing symptoms of upper leg numbness/tingling the last few weeks, and on doing online research, determined that it seems to be femoral nerve entrapment. Did these exercises one time last week, and really helped! Haven't had the symptoms since (although have also trying to avoid sitting at my computer for extended periods of time, which is when the symptoms flare up). Thanks again!
Ailing for close to 2 years. Originally assumed it was piriformis syndrome but still found no relief. After femoral flossing, I can put my pants on with no pain. Outstanding
I've had to diagnose myself. Can't get doctors to understand. They just move my leg around and go, "Hmmm". I, too, think it's Piriformis Syndrome, but lately I've also had Meralgia symptoms. This has been going on for 3 years and 5 or 6 doctors.
Is a chiropractor more helpful than an MD or a. DO?
Tried the exercises in tandem with some yoga stretches and felt better immediately. I sit at a computer all day (and often at night, too), and a price must be paid. Two days later, I can comfortably sit again for the first time in days. Thanks! This video is much appreciated.
Dr. Abelson, Dr. Mylonas and staff, i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to create, and post this video. it really helped!!!!
I have had this tremendous sharp pain for years when moving my torso in certain directions. It was on my lower left side, beneath my rib cage and hip. Always felt like something was dragging and very sharp and painful . Much discomfort. 2 days of doing these exercises, twice a day, has virtually helped relieve this pain!!! This is absolutely amazing and very very effective. Consistency is key !
OMG! This is miraculous!! Gosh! I tried it just a while back, when I was doing it, I heard a snap-like sound in my thigh. I stood up after the exercise. The pain is almost totally gone! Gosh!
I injured myself while exercising. It’s been a month since I have been having pain on my left leg - numb and painful especially walking in the morning. I stopped my pain reliever for two weeks already. I don’t want to be dependent on them.
Gosh! This is good. I’ll do this regularly.
I am a marathoner with anterior knee pain and am sidelined by injury. I will be trying these exercises tomorrow and pray it speeds up the recovery time
thank you so much for posting this! these exercises have been a huge help to improve a pain that's been bothering me for a long time.
Just tried the stretches and already feeling relief. I am a cyclist end 4 years ago had accident and fell on my back first and had a small compression fracture on lumbar also fractured my coxcic bone and after the years I started suffering with burning sensation on back of leg with pain almost every time I ride for a long time. This is great streachings!! Thanks. By the way for information purposes for people going thru pain, I been getting a natural pill for inflammation and pain called Doloded (calendula flower or marigolds) its natural I bought it in Colombia but you can get them at Wal-Mart also. Thanks for video!
This two stretching or exercises seems to be working on my lower back and hips pain....I can feel at least 50% improvement after performing this stretching for the past 3 days..... Lots of times I can also feel a tingling sensations on my feet and it seems to lessen now also..... Hopefully this will cure my issues on and off which started 3 years ago.......THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS !!!!!!!!!!
My thigh gets numb and tingly when I sleep on my back. Sometimes when I am driving my car. Sounds like this exercise would help. Thank you!
You guys are saints ❤😍😭
I feel at least 85% better I am amazed, I hope it lasts and the nerve is not pinched anymore
I think this is what is going on with my body. I had bladder surgery and when I woke up I couldn’t lift my leg and the pain was excruciating. It took about 3 years before I was sent to a specialist. They couldn’t help me and said I just have to live with it. It has been 8 years now and I’m still suffering. All I was told was it was nerve damage and that was it. I still have to physically lift my leg to either get in the car or get into my bed. I’m going to try this. I pray something works🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you. Excellent demo. Utilized for 3 sets and 20 seconds. Yielded great results.
Dr. Abelson is a wizard of the body... I’d recommend seeing him if possible and leveraging all the amazing techniques he has on his books and CZcams.
thank you for thr exercises. they have helped me recover
I loveeee the second one thank you so much!!! I want to learn how to floss everything lol
This helped me so much to rid my leg of pain. It was almost instant
Thank you for the video. I have lost skin sensation over the entire front of one thigh. It's been several days now. Possibly from bike riding or a bike accident two weeks ago. No pain, fortunately. I'll try these exercises.
Got a hyper flexible patient with an impingement of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve at the inguinal ligament. Some of these simply don't work on hyperflex people, or people with herniated lumbar discs.
We often combine these exercises with our femoral release procedures, or adapt then to meet the flexibility of the specific patient. I treat a lot of dancers, and yoga practitioners. You are right not all exercises work on all people, Cheers!
@@kinetichealthonline it wasn't a criticism, I simply pointed it out so that people who experience adverse effects don't try to force themselves into following the video.
Remarkable!
This explanation is very good and comprehensive. I really helps to understand and therefore teaches how to help ourselves better in this situation. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
I had an hemangioma in L2, by 2009 got a vertebroplasthy with methacrylate in L2. I do my ordinary life, running and bike, but i feel a kind of insensitive surface on my left thigh... lately became a bit of pain, i'll practice these exercises to relieve my pain... I appreciate your video, greetings from Patagonia Argentina!
I literally want to sent you guys flowers
Do u have stretches for meralgia paresthia?
Thank you for this, I believe I've damaged my nerves via a sport accident three years ago.
Thank you for the information. Lately, I have been having this very issue. The video was very helpful.
It also helped me realize that after Swimming, Ballet is most likely the best exercise.
I should have listening to my mother, and joined the Ballet team.
I am in soooo much pain right now! I can't wait to go home and try this. I thought it was Sciatic but seeing another video today realized it was Femoral. God I hope this helps me!
Brilliantly explained. Thank you !!
that's my same problem. I've been diagnosed sciatic, but I don´t feel pain in the back of my left leg, the pain is in the frontal part and almost reach to de knee.
And I feel like having something inflamed inside that keeps no streng in that upper leg.
Thank you for this simple and effective exercises! After doing them, I was able to release the nerve 🙏🏼
You're so welcome!
Hi, can I ask if the nerve pain reoccur?
@@kinetichealthonline Hi, may I ask if the pain will come back? Does this treat the pinched nerve and pain permanently?
Angelica Joy hi! In my case it comes back but in a lesser degree. I have a mix of muscular imbalances (due to bad posture) that I am fixing with my physio.
Thank you. This was immediately helpful.
I'm glad I found this. I got relief from it. I accidentally injured myself last night - causing the inner thigh/inguinal area to get cramped, and I think it pinched a nerve there because my whole leg started to tingle and feel numb then a burning sensation under my big toe. It kept me up all night, I didn't know where to start looking for solutions and I started freaking out. I've been worrying and feeling anxious the whole day.
Thank you for sharing this! I was so scared that I'd damaged my nerve and wouldn't be able to walk or something. I wonder if the pain will or pinched nerve will act out again in the future.
I'm sitting now, and the inside part of my foot where the arch is hurts a little. Is that normal?
My recommendation is for you to a see a doctor in your area. Sorry, but I cannot make recommendations on individual cases without first doing a thorough examination. Ask them if this exercise is appropriate for your specific case. Cheers
@@kinetichealthonline thank you for replying! Will do that.
WOW thank you I believe I trapped a nerve, I have just done a few sets of these exercises and already this has helped - Thank you so much :-)
Thank you for this. My pain is manly in the lower front of calf, at rest. Doc said cause probably probation due to super high arches. Searched and found this. It helped, again, thanks.
I had hip replacement 5 years ago, and an 7.5 inch fibroid removed in February which was the cause of the AVN in the hip, I've been in severe pain in the hip, back, and side. Thought it was sciatica but stumbled across this video an be the symptoms you discussed is more accurate to what I'm experiencing, PT has not helped but now I feel like after this video, I know which direction I should go in terms of rehabilitation
Hi Charlotte Rogers: I cannot comment on specific cases without doing a physical examination. That being said appropriate treatment for avascular necrosis is necessary to prevent further deterioration of the joint. I would contact your physician and get a referral to a physiotherapist who has dealt with AVN cases. You also need to go with your physician's advice on pharmaceutical or even surgical recommendations. Cheers
I recently went sprinting after a 2 week vacation and pinched a nerve on the top of my right thigh, right where the joint is I believe. It was painful during the first few days then it went away. I tried jogging when the pain subsided and the pain from the pinched nerve, on the same spot, returned. I hope that this exercise can help! Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Thank you very much for this! This helped me tremendouly (almost fixed), along with supplements I'm taking.
Which supplements ru taking? Thanks
Fine and good
I will have to give these a try. Though my physical therapist had me try a variation of these for my meralgia paresthetica but nothing seemed to make a difference unfortunately. But thankfully it’s just superficial numbness & not burning nerve pain. Hopefully it doesn’t turn into that.
Thank you very much. Great Demo, full of all important info and effective exercises
great info and demo - thanks for posting!
TYVM for this, first lower back injury, im thinking from prolonged office chair sitting where the chair was off level to one side. Im in so much SENSITIVE pain these last 5 days I cant even begin to describe my exp. Never had a back injury and im dumbfounded that I injured myself from sitting in a chair. I can cry.
Def feels like a numb-longing nerve damage probably from the hipbone? That's what my instincts are telling me. Anyways, tnx for the vid, i'll try out the 2nd exercise recommended
Thanks so much for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for uploading,great info.
All I can say that you're a life saver 🥺😭 I have disc degeneration l4- l5, l5-s1 and this helped me a lot especially the 2nd exercise 😭🙏 thank you from the bottom of my heart. Should I do the flossing on both sides? My left hurts the most cause I'm feeling weakness and numbness on the left side only. Thank you again for all these great amazing videos you're helping many people around the world.
Thank for the comments, I am glad the exercises helped. I can't make recommendations on specific cases without examining you. That being said most of time we recommend to our patients perform the exercises on both sides. Cheers!
@@kinetichealthonline thank you ❤️
This explains why my left hip has burning sensation when I sleep on it. And then it slowly turned into pain. I am so afraid that it is hip arthritis. But this is more convincing.
After the first exercise, soles of my both feet started tingling, my right upper front quad gets stuck after 30 min driving, I think the nerve had an entrapment between iliacus and psoas
Good evaluation and good therapy. Good Job!!
Can these exercises be done after anterior approach hip replacement surgery? I sustained a femoral nerve injury and knew immediately afterwards once pain blocks were off. I'm concerned about dislocation of the new joint.
Hi Justin: You really need to ask your surgeon/physiotherapist what is appropriate for your case. Recommendations can vary greatly depending on the case. Cheers!
Perfect! From Spain, good job. Thanks.
Great video thanks, I know this will help some of my yoga & massage clients :)
what should w do if patient hving double symtomes from l1 l2 disc bulge or femoral nerve stretch like anterior thigh burning pain nd remmision of l5 s1 anterolisthesis sym like sciatica
Thanks a lot It was very usefull
Brian, my wife just gave birth and had to do a c-section after pushing for about 4 hours. when she tried to walk her left leg collapsed and she can flex everywhere else but it seems to have no strength in her quad. could this be her femural nerve? if so have you heard of this type of injury after child birth?
Hi Richie: Yes I have heard of this type of injury, I would recommend getting your wife into a physio that deals with pelvic floor dysfunction and post natal issues. Each case is so different its hard to comment on any case without examination results.
wow instant relief
Thanks for sharing this information 🙏
My pleasure
Hi Dr. Abelson - I have some clients who are suffering from chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Most have had an injury to the groin, pulled psoas, etc. Resistance stretching has helped greatly, but I'm missing something. I have a suspicion that an entrapment of the genitofemoral nerve is contributing to the pain and am curious is nerve flossing would be helpful. Would you recommend femoral nerve flossing for the GF nerve or is there a better video that I can try? Thanks!
Hi Carrie: As you know the genitofemoral nerve is formed in the midsection of the psoas muscle (anterior rami of L1 and L2 nerve roots). because the travels inferiorly within the psoas it worth a try using some of the femoral nerve flossing techniques. We are actually in the process of updating and to some of nerve flossing videos. One of the will deal with pelvic dysfunction. That being said, in those patients where flossing does not work I refer them for possible nerve blocks of the GFN. Cheers
I have meralgia paresthesia as a result of posterior spine surgery 3 weeks ago. During recovery I am under strict instructions to not bend or twist the spine or sleep on my stomach. When can I safely attempt these release exercises?
Hello @gattamom,
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, I cannot provide advice or comment on specific cases without performing a physical examination and taking a complete history. It's essential to follow your doctor's instructions closely. Generally, you should consult with your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate time to start any new exercises, especially post-surgery.
Best regards,
Dr. Brian Abelson DC
i did this exersize today, but i want ask can i do this exersize if i have
hip bursitis? thank you .faina.
Very helpful! Thank you Dr
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 🙂💓
Thanks for watching!
I myself found that doing acouple of these exercises exhaust me but my forst time trying these.I been in pain on my side and front thigh for 6 months now.twice this happen to me.Once in germany when visiting inlaws.Lasted about 4 months but wasnt as bad as now.i been to decompression treatments that without insurance is 2k a pop.tha k God i have good insurance.Didnt help even with m.r.i. scan founs 2 small herniated discs tiny in the l4l5 and ts something.But so minute i didnt think this was the case of sciatica.But im goimg to physical theary maybe if my primary doctor referred me is in my network to use him for treatments.worst pain numbing and soreness like a tie rod in my front leg.subsided slightly but not much.Thanks for this video.From California los Angeles 👍
Thank you. Very helpful
You're welcome!
Had a total left hip, since then femoral nerve is not working, knee wants to hyperextend, any weight besides limping leg will totally give out. Should I try these, only 41 and can't walk normal. Thank you
Hi Mark: I would check with your doctor first. I had a total hip replacement about 4 years ago. Rehab and constant exercise is what has keep me on track. Cheers!
@@kinetichealthonline thank you for your response, very much appreciated 🙏
I had total knee replacement two weeks and my quadricep has not woken up yet and I'm only at 55% range of motion with my knee so how can I do some of these exercises without my knee moving and I can't lift my leg
Hi kraggy: You should stick with the recommended exercises they have given you for the 4 to 6 weeks. Then with the approval of your physician see if these exercise are appropriate in your case. I would not worry about the range of motion for now, every case is different and it often takes time with total knee replacements. Cheers
This is amazing.... Thank you
You're very welcome!
Why would C-Spine movement facilitate the desired outcome of eliminating pain and increasing mobility?
Moving the cervical spine into flexion or extension stretches or releases tension on certain sections of the spinal cord which has direct effect on other sections of the nervous system depending on body position. Flossing entails tensioning one end of the nerve while simultaneously releasing tension on the other end. Nerve tensioning is placing tension on both ends of a nerve. Cheers
Hey great video well produced and like the out takes! my wife is suffering from what we understand is Femoral nerve issues, probably due to a prolapsed disc? she gets lots of pain down her leg as far as her ankle. If you have time to answer, would these exercises be good for her?
good video guys.
some more info wuould be great
THANK YOU!
Hi Brian. When Sam is doing the kneeling exercise, is she working on the same side as the lying exercise, ie, the left?
When she is lying face down and bending the left leg she is flossing the left side (02:06 Prone Nerve Flossing & Tensioning Exercise). When she is kneeling (right knee on the table), she is flossing the right side when performing the exercise (03:25 Dynamic Nerve Flossing). I how this helps. Cheers!
@@kinetichealthonline Hey Brian! Thanks so much for the swift response. Yep, I thought that was the case, but just wanted to make sure. I was recently diagnosed with Femoral Neuropathy and after just three days your exercises have virtually eliminated the pain and I now have increased mobility. Goodbye to Amitriptyline and Co-codamol!! Thank you very much for your post, a bloody life changer my friend. 👏
How often should I do these exercises please?
Normally, we have our patient do these exercise several times per day. Sorry, I cannot make recommendations on your individual cases without first doing an examination. Cheers
I've sit at a desk for like 20 years and seem to have this condition now....
a big hi from an oldtimer !!!
Cured me Bud,respect 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
If you sit for long periods of time. Like i do ( truck driver ) These stretches. Are it ........ trust me. Released my hips. .im Golfing again.
Thanks.
I have been told that I have femoral and femoral cutaneous nerve dysfunction. I have no symtoms for 8 to 12 weeks then for about 10 days I have intense pain in my tigh, inner tigh and as low down as my knee. (Left leg) The pain moves around from hour to hour. Also during this period I have lots of twitches in both legs. However I don't have numbness or weekness which is strange. I have a large vascular malformation on my left hip which runs around to my back. I have seen lots of doctors and they can not understand why I can be fine for weeks and then get this. ideas anyone?
Hi Daniel: Still sound like more investigation needs to be conducted X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI if the practitioner thinks it's needed. I would still search our other opinions. Cheers
@@kinetichealthonline had more MRI scans, CT scans, ultrasounds than hot dinners. Been looking into it for 10 years now. 3 different hospitles. Luckily it's not all the time because if it was I don't know how I would cope. Been put to the back of the que again now because of covid. Oh well got to stay strong. Thank you
Can we do in diabetic femoral neuropathy
Hi Devendra: You really need to first check with your medical physician. Every case is different. Cheers
Excellent!! Thank you!!
Is this for meralgia paresthetica?
Thank you for tuning in. While this video focuses on femoral nerve flossing, it's important to understand the anatomical landscape. The femoral nerve and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (associated with meralgia paresthetica) both originate from the lumbar region of the spine, sharing a proximity in their pathways. This means techniques beneficial for one might influence the other. However, this video isn't explicitly tailored for meralgia paresthetica. Some individuals may experience relief from it, but it's essential to consult your physician to determine if this technique is suitable for your specific condition.
Is there a way to perform nerve flossing on the nerves that are on the side of the torso at the belt line? I've been diagnosed with sciatic above my left butt at the belt line but I think I've got nerve stuck. Fell off a treadmill while running (shoe ripped out on the side) and suddenly I have sciatica seems a little hard to believe and getting treatment in my area is impossible, if you can't take a pill for it or cut it out, its not an issue.
I saw the stretch over head and immediately said, “that’s a McGill”, then boom!
Stuart McGill, PhD, at the University of Waterloo great guy. I have enjoyed the courses I have taken from him.
good
Good news
I LOVE LIKE THAT👍💓
