🎙️ Low Back Pain Relief: The Best And Worst Exercises for Herniated Discs Back pain is a global concern, affecting countless individuals, families, communities, and economies. One predominant cause is the herniated disc, manifesting in various forms such as bulging or slipped discs, sometimes referred to as "disc strain." The internet is teeming with exercises and recommendations, but many focus only on short-term pain relief, sidelining long-term recovery. Delving into the anatomy of a herniated disc is essential for better understanding the associated pain. The lumbar intervertebral disc acts as a cushion between vertebrae. Structurally, it resembles a jam donut: the 'dough' being strong ligament layers called the Annulus Fibrosis and the 'jam' being a fluid-like nucleus. The fluid nucleus allows the disc to absorb shock, supported by the ligament layers. However, when the disc herniates, these robust ligaments are compromised, letting the fluid leak. The spine's interlinked structure means that damage to one part affects the whole, making recovery challenging. Herniated discs cause complications because they're located in the constricted space of the lower back. As these discs bulge, they reduce space further, causing the body to instinctively lean forward and further strain the already injured tissues. While some exercises like child’s pose, knee hugs, and the cobra stretch are often recommended for herniated discs, not all are beneficial. Some may even cause more harm due to a misunderstanding of back pain. The article emphasises exercises that genuinely support recovery, such as the towel exercise, which aids both short-term relief and long-term health, and the core engagement exercise, which emphasises spinal stability. Transitioning to upright movements, the squat and hip hinge are paramount, playing a daily role in movements like getting up from a chair. While the journey to full recovery from herniated discs can be lengthy and fraught with setbacks, the right approach can make all the difference. Adopting a well-structured program, like the Back In Shape Program, can provide the necessary education, exercises, and stretches, backed by professional support.

🎙️ Prevent Lower Back Pain: One Belief That Makes Back Pain More Likely Keeping your lower back healthy requires a proactive stance, not merely responding to pain when it strikes. This effort doesn't have to be time-consuming or difficult. Even if you're busy, setting aside just 3-4 hours each week for strength training can make a world of difference. Contrary to common belief, physical frailty is not an inevitable consequence of aging. We have evidence of older adults accomplishing physical feats that challenge this notion, and many only began their fitness journey post-retirement. The initial focus should be on mastering key technical skills, such as understanding your posture and engaging your core. Then, simple exercises like squats, hip hinges, and reverse lunges can be integrated into your routine. Over time, consistent resistance and load addition to these exercises result in a stronger, more resilient body. However, this effort isn't just about physical strength. It also boosts cardiovascular health and immunity. Regular, controlled resistance training is a cost-free anti-aging and anti-fragility remedy that fits seamlessly into your routine, making everyday tasks easier and your body more resilient. Don't mistake being busy for being fit; dedicated exercise is crucial for maintaining mobility. Our Back In Shape Program provides members with resources to recover from back pain and work towards building strength and resilience. However, prevention is better than cure. Start your journey towards strength and resilience now, ensuring a prosperous, liberated future.

People often tolerate back pain until it becomes a barrier to their lifestyle. But guess what? When the pain is gone, so is the limitation! But here's an important tip: If you've had injections for your back pain, don't stop doing your exercises just because you feel better.
