Pretty much accurate with your assessment. One day at a time. Never give up. I had to realize to get better I had to stop lifting heavy. It sucks but the nerve pain got worse due to rehabilitation. For me certain things make pain worse. Working out and yoga helps me but that’s just one of many possible things to do. Good luck to you all. Chronic pain sucks! But, try to keep going! 👍🏾

I love the Farmers carry, I held a 50lb dumbell in each hand for four circuits of 50 yards each(with a rest between). Very underrated exercise yet simple, looks a lot easier than it is! It's really a modified deadlift.

Too bad these won’t work. I’ve been dealing with sciatica for 12 years and have tried just about everything. So now, I’ve stopped doing anything and just accept the nerve pain.

How many reps ?

Can you recommend any alternative core exercises if I can't do deadbugs or planks And if my spine is flexion intolerant

I can totally relate to everything you have said. Not being able to sit, having to try and eat meals on all 4's, lying on the floor to try and reset, not being able to put on my socks, not being able to sit in a car- the list of bulging disk limitations is endless! So glad you have made progress, I too have just got to a point where I can notice real progress.

I use to work for frito lay, as a route driver. It was a physical job . I had my cervical fusion and havent did no physcial type of work or exercises.. I feel SO WEAK.. i want my stretch back in my legs and arms.. Just overrall.

I need this right now, thank you!

LOVE the Altras!

This is the one - only up to the elbows is all you need - it worked for me plus combined with the Bird Dog exercise - key for me is stop sitting down if you can - and when you feel pain again get back down to your stomach - take those deep breaths and relax - I am still in recovery but getting better every day👍

I'm done with these workouts and routines i really tried over a year and I'm still back to square one and I'm a strict athlete with discipline but still no fix..time for a microdiscectomy

Thanks for posting this video

Bro.. ive been through so many videos about this.. these upchops are it. I can see the abs comming back. Thanks man

I can't keep watching. It's like he is conducting an orchestra. Too much arm waving.

Amazing video keep them coming

You can fight for the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship after a Lumbar Fusion Operation, weights at 3 months and full training at 6 months, fight at 8 months.

Do you have a video on meralgia paristhetica originating from L2 and L3?

And belt squats?

Dealing with sciatica from a disc herniation since last Nov. The pills helped me get thru my 2nd marathon and 2nd ultra. I thought I was recovered until I hurt myself again this may, but the pain was a lot worse. I miss all the running I used to be able to. Sucks!

Good advice, with the exception of any hamstring work, so no good mornings, d.lifts or rdls. Bending causes flexion which will compress the spine. Also hamstring work can activate the sciatic nerve causing pain within the disc.

Thanks for the vid! Really helpful!

Underrated content. Great video! Thank you!

The way you bend at 9:20 If I bend so much 3 weeks bed rest

I've not had surgery yet, but it is on the horizon. I can only do PT in a therapy pool and have to stop if I feel pain. Fibro amplifies everything. I was finally feeling actual sore muscles but regressed after another fall. My mom is having surgery soon, so I'll be sure to share this.

Love this video. When you mentioned compression sitting on a bench with weights it reminded me of when I ruptured or herniated my L4/L5 Disc. I could not walk or stand for more than about 20 seconds. Not because my muscles were weak but because the nerve being pressed by the disc just shut down everything. After waking up from discectomy surgery where that disc was removed off the nerve, I could walk normal again.

Very helpful this is great!

Yes i think i went too deep and it starting to hurt my lower back. Itsl sucks. I should have known this before watching

💥💥💥💣💣💣

I did my back using the 90 degree leg press

this fixed my shoulder right away, I haven't been able to do over head pressing for almost 2 months. I

Thanks man! This helps a lot!❤

Great visual explanation showing how the herniated disk reacts!! TY! I’m sticking to swimming and yoga now.

also sleep on floor

Wall squats are all i can manage now. After being a competitive body builder its tough not doing what i used to do. I kept pushing thru the pain till it was unbearable.

Had to stop the treadmill because of severe hip pain. Still doing weight lifting 3 x wk and now starting to walk after evening meal.

This is all subjective 🙄 case by case. Cobra stretch for SOME have actually cured back pain. Key word for some. It's not poison 😂🙄

can i get this in Canada. Can't find the APP. I am turning 60, love fitness. Been following a popular persons program, but my herniations are getting worse. help Deana

Gr8 vdo...i hv disc bulge L4 S1 but going regularly to gym but avoiding exe tht put stress on low back...but these alternatives definitely help

Nope sorry it works for people

After my back fusion. I loss the use of my left leg.. God bless everyone here..

I’m 15 and have an L-3 L-4 and L5 herniated disc this will help

As an accredited strength & conditioning coach I would recommend referring to Dr Stuart McGill’s information for evidenced based exercises for spinal health - Squat University is also awesome!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you 🙏🏽

I don’t like these advices. I find them wrong

Fantastic video! Is it ok to work with medium to high resistance on the spin bike with past S1 L5 ,4,3 disc herniation ( herniated L5 last month)

You just saved me 💵from buying one of those mini inversion tables! I have been a certified ISSA fitness instructor since age 50 - 28 years. I just found out I have shrunk from my former 6 feet frame to 5'.7 I want to get back some of my inches to at least 5'10! Thanks!

❤ thank you so much I wish I would have came to you I spent 12 weeks in physical therapy I have disc herniation in L4 L5 and bulging discs L3 and S1 my chiropractor said I need a steroid injection because I'm so tight I would come to you but I am on a budget I do not work and I just spent $600 on PT and I'm still experiencing burning in my lower spine hard to sleep at night on gabapentin and tightness I'm trying to do the plough pose that they doing yoga to loosen up my spine I'm not sure that's making it worse or not

I needed this, a good telling, not what to do. I'm my own worst enemy for pushing myself to the point of pain.
