I’ve struggled with back pain since I was a teenager. I’m now pretty capable of managing and moving through a flare up. This information matches my experience really well. I do a lot do visualization, deliberate relaxing, and gentle movement. It’s the only process that actually promotes my healing. I used to lock up, avoid moving, fear the pain, and a flare up could last several months. Now, probably a few weeks.

My lower back pain came on as I was making the bed and bent over to pull the blanket over the pillows. I’ve had frequent lower back pain throughout the years, but this is 10 times worst than any other pain I’ve had. It was even hard to walk straight most of the day, by late afternoon it was better and I can actually stand straight, but it still hurts enough that I can’t move like normal. Bending over, or moving certain ways still really hurts 😢

very sane advice. I've just gone through a severe lower back pain episode and during the last 5 days I did all the things you mentioned on the "don't do" list, with all the bad consequences, exactly how you describe them. thing is that I had to lay down because of intense pain, but then laying down made the pain even worse. now movement helps. and your vids help. so, thanks. and you're very good with words. i like that!

Well, I’m going through a flare up right now and hopefully on the back side. This morning I went to PT for follow up on hip pain exercises needed because of lumbar stenosis and hip arthritis. Doctors have recently recommended full hip replacement and lumbar laminectomy, both are surgeries I would like to avoid. I’m 68 and do water aerobics 3x/wk. So, I’m at the PT this morning and tell her I think I have or am about to have a herniated disc. The PT pokes around a bit then has me stand next to a wall and lean my hips towards the wall and Bam. Full seizure of lumbar spine. After that we did the deep breathing. It hurts to think about it while writing this. The PT then offered a heat pack which I mistakenly laid on for 10 minutes. Later, after getting home, took diclofenac and tried some decompression. Then laying on my spinal corrector and slowly stretching vertebrae it’s starting to feel better. So, I think the root cause was a long plane ride followed by long car drive and altogether too much sitting over 3 days. That was about 4 weeks ago now. Will try to relax more now because I believe it will get better soon. Thanks Doc for your excellent presentation.

I have a bulging disc, and the doctors say it’s serious and may require surgery. However, I don’t feel pain in my back. The pain starts in my buttock and the back of my knee, but only after walking about 30 steps. It’s been 8 months, and not being able to walk has greatly affected my life. The pain is intense, but what confuses physiotherapists is that I only feel it while walking. I can do other movements, like yoga, without any issues. I’ve been trying dry needling and physical therapy, but I’ve only seen very small improvements since the pain began. I still can’t walk without pain. Should I keep doing physical therapy, and how long should I wait before considering other options?

This was what I was looking for on your page. Marvellous method. I do have spondylolisthesis. Does that mean my pain is actually from damage? I have severe pain that doesn't go without painkillers every day. But I also would want to implement your method to improve my mindset about this issue and hopefully make those flare-ups go down

Hi Doctor, I have been exercising for 6 months, 5-6 times a week. I have been spending a lot of time strengthening my core due to chronic back pain. In the beginning there was less pain, but now I am starting to have more pain in my left hip and my lower back. I am not sure why after so many months of working out I am experiencing more pain and discomfort instead of getting pain free. Would you be so kind to explain what I am doing wrong? Thank you.
