INSTANT RELIEF from Lower Back Pain and Stiffness (4 EASY Exercises!)

Want to get rid of lower back pain and stiffness right now without taking a painkiller? Instead of stretches, let's get those stabilizer muscles in good shape so you feel good regardless of whether you spend your days in front of a computer, in the garden, or playing your favorite sport.
You can do these four back pain relief exercises first thing in the morning, before you go to bed, and throughout the day as needed. There's even a variation on one of the exercises that you can do while working at your desk if you start to feel a little stiff.
Coach E also gets into a short explanation of why our lower backs tend to get stiff and ache. Also, he demonstrates a very, very good reason to avoid stretching.
To get the most out of this routine, keep focused on the cues. It's all about precision today. Remember to pay attention to your alignment, breathing, muscle control, and muscle activation order during each exercise.
The only tool you'll need is some sort of long stick, dowel, or rod for the third exercise. You can use a broom handle, hockey stick, or anything similar you have lying around. It really helps with centering and maintaining stability so you don't accidentally shift your body weight.

Good to review and deepen all that again. Number too is new for me.. great to feel this energy creeping up my spine at its sides. must be the multi fidi. I felt that getting the shoulders nicely hanging and open helps this energy to go up through the thoracic spine, now aligning the cervicals Standing as a great exercise. Can do it everywhere!

[@irjug]

I have pain in my lower back for one month. I woke up Yesterday Morning, and it was more pain than ever. I couldn’t bent or take on socks or even go to bathroom without incredible pain. I found this video, and even it was painful just to get down on the floor, i did it. It helped instantly, I took two painkillers, and the rest of the day was without pain. This morning it started hurting again, and I did the exercise again, and it helped again. Thank you for this video 🙏

This channel is brilliant, so glad I’ve come across you! I’ve spent my 20s weight training and not prioritising mobility work and I’m paying the price for that lack of knowledge now. It would be great if you could put a video together for a full body mobility routine that could be done daily/a few times a week etc to incorporate into the weekly workout schedule. Thanks for providing such valuable content - wish I’d found you sooner!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Better late than never. :) My suggestion is to get our ROM Coach app - www.ROM.coach - then do the Daily Movement Tuneup each day as that gives you a few new exercises a day. Then, you can choose a routine or 2 to follow for more targeted work. Give it a go and lmk how it is!

2 years ago, I did your hip series prior to my total hip replacement as pre-hab. Doc said he never saw someone in their late 60’s be so conditioned for surgery…said it made his job easier. And I got discharged from PT faster. I follow what you advise. Love your sense of humor showing the sponsored ads BS and using the City of Toronto parking tickets is brilliant.

Holy toledo!! These actually work! About a week ago I jumped down from standing on my tire to work on my trucks engine (a jump I have done, hundreds if not thousands of times) but this time when I landed it felt the same as if I had rolled both my ankle while running full speed, except in my back. It was beyond excruciating... it was the level of pain that makes you feel nauseous. 6 hours later I was crawling on my hands and knees across my yard to make it to my house. All the videos I have watched prior to this have been minimal at best, but these WORK!! Probably because they aren't super easy, it definitely takes some effort, but it's worth it!

Thank you very much 🙏 when I do weighted squats at the gym do I maintain the same form / instructions as this or for example it’s commonly said that the hips must open up and knees should flare out, but your instructions (for the physio) is the opposite. Please kindly clarify 🙏

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Hi and that's a great question. Try out all of those cues in an effort to find your unique squatting position that feels strong, stable, and mobile. Eric's cues are specific to this setting and things change when you add weight. In that case, you should be following your current capabilities and not forcing yourself to move in any way that is not comfortable. Make sense? - Coach Joshua, Team PM

I have been practicing Yoga and Pilates for years now. It is relaxing and enjoyable and has provided me with some relief from TMJ and posture issues, although temporary. I have just started Precision Movement exercises and they make sense as they get to the root of the target area, and they seem to be working for me so far. What are your thoughts on practicing Yoga, Pilates along with your exercises since it involves quite a bit of stretching?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing that. Our philosophy is simple. Attempt everything, keep what works, and discard the rest. More specifically, cherry pick the Pilates/Yoga techniques that work and stop doing anything that does not help you to reach your goals.

Breathing is a movement like others and it must steadily adapt to the body moving or its posture .. this is incredible how many muscles assist the diaphragm and the intercoastals in the inhale or exhale phases Quadratum lumborum, serratus posterior, some muscles in the neck to name a few Worth a 20 minutes video on this topic... And A lifetime of practice
