I have had a bad back for 5 years, yesterday i treid to some physio which just made it worse. Do you suggest ice or heat for this? I'm not sure, because although I've had a bad back for years, whats made it really bad is something new. Thanks

what about benith the wing thing

Actually this is the first day I can reach my toes again after 1,5 yrs. Well there was a few times I actually managed to just align it, please nobody ever go there, I have a special brain condition and actually for me the solution was learning about myself, most people I encountered never ever believed me, but yeah if u have the time support money and the luck of being able to trust in yourself and god, it takes very strong will but it’s possible, I can sit here and show u scoliosis on my spine then reverse it the only thing freaky about it really is it looks like a demon would possess me for a moment but besides that, it’s actually just focusing 100% on yourself and only recording the surroundings until it’s safe to make unaccounted movements, reconfiguring all the muscles it just looks pretty weird standing there using half of your body to stabilize and half to reconfigure the pattern in which I can move, it’s taxing but I’ve always been quite flexible so I hope I get away with it healthy. The only ones that actually believed I was in control were monks and quite expensive private doctors, society stamps u as done, I went to the spa daily, did floating, shiatsu, neurostim, drugs like ketamine, drank lots and lots of healthy teas.

They hurt and most can't reach.

With that exercise you're only goint to tense more your psoas and increase your pain. Thats absolutely incorrect if you have some kind of previous condition in your spine.

Great video. Just wanted to let you know the audio is pretty quiet when watching from computer, not sure why.

Interesting I'm kind of against belly breathing and cue lateral thoracic breathing with my clients teaching them through points of contact to feel and understand neutral spine! but I get what you say engaging those deep abdominals via exhalation and those last three breaths pushing the air out is effective. I'm no fan of pelvic tilts and through experience with clients with lower back pain especially disc problems it is something that they dont want to be doing. Matt the pilates teacher

do we need to have our knees bent and stretched for this and the towel? or does it matter if we place our knees and legs flat? Thanks for the great help!

Thanks so much for this informative video. I just ordered my first stretcher and my pain, problem is in that lower region. So this information is vital for me when it arrives.

I have this between t7 and t10 ... and i am 31 and also in the lumbar area 🙄

Aw sh... Shouldnt have carried the water like that😂 fucking hurts now, 2am still up

The main point of this video is strengthen & improve your back health

Thanks for sharing your knowlede, i have disc herniation and disc buldge (8 mm) in L5 S1 but I can’t even sit and specially driving is a nightmare for me.

Thanks Michael for this inspiring, positive video. You've answered some important questions for me 👍

Great video, hopefully gonna start this routine soon. I have always had that bump but off lately has been giving trouble, while I am conciously going to try keep the posture correct, do you suggest any change in daily sleeping postures too? Should I eliminate using pillows completely, would that help?

Can we do gym after treatment for degenerative disc

I have this for years and dont know how to do it in a right way. Thank you sir it really help me a lot!

I’ve never really understood this, there’s a story about because we all sit the hips are tight and tipping the pelvis anteriorly but when we sit usually our pelvis are tucking posteriorly and low back is rounded. So how can sitting cause hyperlordosis if people are sitting in a flexed low back position?

So I got harder mattress and the pain went away lol.

Good information

I've noticed that when lay on the floor, even with my knees up and my feet on the floor, I'll get back pain. It actually feels like something locks up and I actually have to roll over to get up because trying to sit up causes a sharp pain.

I have this and it's ruining my life, I can't even stand for more than 10 minutes without tingling in feet and leg pain. Hopefully stretches and exercises will work. Surgeon said only 50/50 chance surgery would fix my issue

I see how best the position is 💀🙈

Excellent video!

Im 233 pounds with bad back pain. And yes since i have gained 30 pounds i been gaining alot of weight mostly on my lower stomach , i have bad back pain 😢 i gotta loose weight

Check out the candle video where?

I’m caught up in the pain. But you’re so right.

Wish this excellent podcast had been published last year as would have really helped me take stock of where I am. BIS is a great program which is helping me to get back to where I should be after spinal injections

Like I just feel numb on my right leg before that last night I jumped from a little high place propably 2.5m long I got back pain but it didn't last long the scnd day it's gone but my right leg are numb but I can move it propably and walk but idk whts the problem exactly

I had severe lower back spasms and tried stretching, heat, ice, TENS, ibuprofen, and muscle relaxants. Nothing worked. I went to my grandma's house and she gave me No Salt. I drank 1 tsp in a bit of water with a cracker. Within hours my muscles completely relaxed. The pain used to be a 9-10. Now it's a 0-2, but only because I need to work on my poor sitting posture and I have a stiff back (the pain is not bothersome) I went from months of agonizing pain to incredibly relaxed muscles and incredible calm in two days.

well said

Thank you very much for this info

Please guide us and make some videos about neck disks bulge C3 C4 C5. Thanks.

I love 💕 watching your videos, I wake up with extremely tyght muscles all over my body thanks ☺️

Yes very good advice 😂

I have had chronic low back pain for 12 years and the recent flare up started 6 months ago and it’s daily/weekly pain. My MRI showed mild facet hypertrophy at L4 L5 and X ray showed slight hyperlordosis. Running used to help me recover but it seems to be aggravating the pain so my Physio banned it for now (along with high intensity weight lifting) :( Also, your videos are great but they seem to be specific to disc issues or sciatica. I did find 1 video on facet joint which was helpful. Do you have any general and specific recommendations on exercise program, stretches, nutrition etc that can help my condition? If there are any relevant videos I should watch then a playlist could be helpful

Just found this video today. My partner went quad biking last weekend and has not been able to walk upright since then. He's in a lot of pain on the left leg with pain shooting from lower back/buttocks down the front thigh. He can't sleep, can't stand up right. The GP says it's sciatica and gave painkillers and a link to self referral for physio. I will share this with him to watch. He is currently trying acupuncture. I'm not sure if that's a wise option. Any advice on that, please? Thank you very much

It makes sense. Thanks a lot.

Wear are you situated thanks

Great knowledge and information dude! But your constant intensity and rapid-fire talking is a bit anxiety inducing lol

Strengthening the spine in neutral is the first and yes I have taught clients who are flexion intolerant mainly due to disc bulge. I agree with you don't imprint if you have a back problems and yes hip mobility is crucial I'm constantly working on this with my clients. We need to do functional movements Squats Lunges and hip hinge movements and balance work. However I myself have stenosis in by lower back and flexion does ease the pain and I do flex my lower back for that. I've been teaching for 19 years and am fully qualified on the whole machine repertoire and have a small studio in Rye East Sussex. I trained with Body control pilates and was a supervising teacher for them . They are well versed in dealing with back pain and I would recommend those interested in doing pilates to find a teacher qualified with them . They would be aware of the issues you discussed in your video. Functional movement and Spinal integrity is a must! Matt the pilates teacher

I struggle with lower back pain at least once every year. Sometimes when I am under severe pain with a stiff lower back, i go jogging. By the time I finish a 5km, the pain is either gone or greatly reduced. Recently i could not even go jogging while under severe pain. I ended up in A&E, i was given just pain killers. I have been attending a spinologist, he advises me to stop jogging however my GP advises me to keep being active as i am suffering from a mechanical lower back pain. A few days ago i got up with a severe lower back pain, after doing my morning routine exercise, i went for a long walk by the time i came back, i was feeling much better. Can you kindly advise me whether to keep jogging or what I should do.

Thats very helpful thank you. Coincidentally i was just googling exercises for my parents 75+

Thank you, helpful video.

chin tucks are great, if done correctly. It stretches the serratus posterior superior which is great for headache relief due to neck posture. At least, worked fine for me.

Thanks!

Not enough people discuss how bad they are, this is amazing content🙏

THANK you for this 🙏
