The first step in a genuine plan for success is to understand and manage your bank account.

The bank account represents how much exposure to stress and work your back can tolerate before your injury is resensitised with pain 🔥

What are your aggravators/pain triggers?

How can you reduce them below a tolerable level and presureve some bank account each day?

Remember...your back pain is the result of your movement and posture habits.

Change those for the better, be consistent and a pain free back will be yours! 💪

Back pain and hip hinging...

Probably the single most corrupted movement pattern in those with lower back pain is that of hip hinging.

The ability and confidence to be able to flex from your hips and not just your spine is paramount if you want a strong, pain free, functional lower back and body.

Quite often back pain sufferers will become scared to use their hips, favouring instead to over use the knees and quads as Reuben does at the start of this video.

They will tend to suffer with very tight hamstrings as a result...putting further pressure on the lower back.

But with simple tools such as the hands down the thighs drill and a DB/KB RDL, we can soon begin to reprogram years of faulty movement that has created the back pain.

Always remember...the more your hips can do...the less you back has to worry about 😎

How to Heal a Disc Bulge...

The disc recovery position is a great tool from the mind of professor Stuart McGill -

The principals of which are based upon an accidental discovery by Robin McKenzie.

Disc bulges and herniations are caused by excessive, faulty and compressed flexion.

So if we spend some time in passive extension, we can reverse the hydraulic pressure inside the disc and encourage the bulge/herniation to regress and help the healing process.

3-5 minutes, 3-4 times a day at a level appropriate for you can work wonders for those with bulges, herniations and discogenic sciatica.
