✅ Comment "Pain Reset" for our NEW training!
If you wake up with sciatica and can barely even get out of bed, here's what most people do wrong:
❌ Freak out and assume the worst
❌ Lock up with fear and avoid movement
❌ Rush to wanting an anatomical diagnosis or MRI (which just freaks people out)

Comment 319 for the full training! The NEW youtube video is our BEST TRAINING EVER.
Yes, I nearly burned myself several times. I had to refilm the entire thing because the mic died the first time 😅
So... I had to set things on fire all over again. Yes, the spine model is now charred, and there's a burn hole in the yoga block where I accidentally squirted lighter fluid 😂
Anyway this is seriously the best low back and sciatica training you'll ever see in your life. I can't be more excited to share it!
We talk about all the things you're worried about - disc herniations, nerve compression, posture, core stability, exercise, stress, nervous system hypersensitivity, and how to fix this stuff in an evidence based way.
Except this time - it's like Bill Nye meets chronic pain science.

❌ Stress makes your muscles tight and overprotective (more pain)
❌ Stress increases inflammation (more pain)
❌ Stress increases fear, reduces physical activity, then leads to deconditioning (more pain)
❌ Stress makes us ruminate on, magnify, and catastrophize the pain (=more pain)
✅ Let's regulate your nervous system
✅ Let's build confidence in your body
✅ Let's get you a solid plan

Fear of pain is worse than pain itself.
If you avoid bending, you create a self-fulfilling prophecy where you tweak your back any time you try to bend, simply because you never practice it.
Move past the outdated myths. Overcome the fear of bending.
If you have low back pain or sciatica, graded exposure to full body mobility and strength is key.

What's the best way to do myofascial release for back pain or sciatica?
If I had a dime for every person who told me they had "muscle knots" or "adhesions" or "imbalances" or "tightness"...
First - your muscles are NOT in "knots"... That's a made-up thing.
You don't have to "release" anything. Not adhesions, not scar tissue... that's all an outdated myth.
Second - What does myofascial release (AKA self massage) actually DO?
✅ Short-term pain relief
✅ Short-term improvements in mobility
✅ Relaxation: Get you out of your fight/flight response (If done correctly)
Third - HOW should you do it?
➡️ Pick any spot that feels good
➡️ Don't worry about "releasing" your "imbalances" (that's not a real thing)
➡️ Breathe deeply and peacefully while doing it
➡️ Do NOT cause so much pain during self-massage that you tighten up. This triggers your fight/flight response, which is the opposite of what we're going for.
➡️ If it's relaxing, you're doing it right

🧘Mindful Minute For Chronic Pain: Box Breathing🧘
Chronic pain causes us to get stuck in a fear based fight or flight response.
We get overprotective. We guard. We limit our activities.
The body becomes tense and rigid. This creates more pain.
Remember to pause and learn to relax once in a while.
Box breathing is one of my favorite simple ways to break the fear-pain-stress cycle.
Save for when you need it!

Torture, or Treatment? 😳
Chronic pain makes us desperate, but I'm telling you, there's a much less painful way to recover from chronic low back pain or sciatica.
Lifestyle change. Graded exercise. Taking care of your mental health.
It takes work, but it works.

You've got a nice spine! Even if it's a little weird.
Even if you have disc degeneration, disc herniations, low back pain, and sciatica.
Even if you have too much or too little curvature, a pelvic tilt, or a short leg.
Guess what? So does everyone.
Rehab isn't about fear mongering, it's about lifestyle change.

Exercise for chronic back pain and sciatica isn't that complicated.
It's NOT about:
❌ Fixing alignment
❌ "Correcting" imbalances
❌ Core stability
Real exercise-based rehab for chronic low back pain and sciatica is much simpler.
We need to focus on:
✅ Slow & steady graded exposure
✅ Full body functional movements
✅ Goal oriented approach
✅ Mobility AND strength
✅ Make sure to PROGRESS to gain real strength!

5 Hip Mobility Exercises For Back Pain & Sciatica
NOTE: Chronic pain is more complex than simply improving hip mobility alone!
A complete solution requires lifestyle change, and full body physical fitness using graded exposure.
That said - hip mobility can be a useful PART of rehab.

Rehab isn't complicated. I'm not doing any core exercises, hip mobility, or fancy corrective exercises. Just calming things down a bit and then building back up. Easy. Effective.
1) I didn't panic. I know I'm going to bounce back quickly.
2) Gentle breathing to calm my over-protective body down, and get some gentle movement into the back, preventing the muscles from seizing up.
3) Reintroduce gentle movements in all directions within tolerance.
4) Ease off heavy lifting but I didn't stop altogether, just did lighter weight. I'll gradually work back to my normal weight over the next week and it'll be fine.

Comment "302" and I'll send you the full youtube video on pain science!
Pain cannot exist in a tissue. A disc herniation does not have consciousness, so pain literally cannot exist in a tissue. 🧠
Pain can only become conscious once it reaches the brain. But if we want to take it a step further, this is where things get weird. 🌟
Even consciousness doesn't happen in the brain alone. If we have a brain with no inputs—no sight, sound, hearing, smell, touch, no sensory input—and it also has 0 memories, there's nothing to draw on. 🚫
There's no context, absolutely nothing. There's debatably no consciousness and therefore no pain. 🌍
If you have chronic low back pain or sciatica and need help, make sure to follow the channel.
