[@paulmacias4206]

From 1983 to present I have had four surgeries and now fused on my L-3, -4, & -5 and S-1, plus fused at C-3, 4- &-5. My most recent back surgery was 2015 and unlike prior surgeries I now deal with daily chronic pain in my lower back muscles. Your presentation was precise in describing my situation, aged and sedentary, resulting in weak lower back muscles. Best explaination than my doctors have provided. I will definitely will view all of you videos and recommend them to my ailing friends.

Doc you have hit the nail straight on the Head. I need to follow the three steps given.

[@SparkyWaxAll]

Recommending breaking phases into 1-2-3 is very helpful. Probably mitigates damaging the painful back area. Being born in '63, and being relatively healthy and strong, this is the first I've dealt with almost crippling lower back pain. Thanks for taking the time to produce and post. Also thanks for posting the 2 videos recommended at end of this very helpful video. -Dave (Ashland Virginia USA)

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Dave, You're absolutely welcome! Its really great to hear you found the video insightful. And yes. I agree that dividing the recovery process into phases which helps patients understand what the injured area needs at every point of the process is crucial to a timely recovery. Most people actually make their aches and pains worse because of wrong timing. Have you tried any of the recommended stretches already? Do let me know how you are progressing. Best wishes, Ashley.

Thank you for explaining all of this. I’m 78 and have lower back pain which seems to come and go, but lately seems to be getting worse for being stupid and picking up stuff that’s too heavy. However, I just began water therapy for my back as well as my knees and this definitely helps. I know it gets worse if you’re inactive but trying to baby it for awhile.

[@jamiefreeman5451]

I lifted something heavy with a turning motion and the spasms started. You hit the nail on the head with my problem of lower back pain. Had a shot for inflammation the next day . Two days later pain is down to a 4 or a 5 and only occurs when standing up from a chair or getting out of bed. Your explanation of the muscles around the spine and over the top of the hips is spot on for my situation.

Awesome video!!! I think my current conditions fits exactly the definition of phase 1. My lower back started hurting badly over the last couple of days, to the point that I even have difficulty standing up straight or turn from side to side in bed. It could be related to a snowboarding fall a few days ago. This video is excellent in explaining what my problem might be. I certainly would love watching your other videos to learn more. I think I still need medical help to recover faster. But the information here is invaluable. Thanks a million!!

Explaining and showing the physical structure of the body then detailing the possible roots causes and then on to clear/simple methods to try to correct issue. There is a lot of "noise" out there with KZbin Physical Therapists but your approach is very welcomed. Thanks

Hi Kevin thank you so much, it really makes me happy to know people like my approach. It's always difficult to know what resonates with people and it would be too easy to follow the same structure as other channels. So, thank you!

[@Migs3]

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! I find that my lower back pain is chronic due to the reasons you explained but also due to stress. When I'm stressed or in bad spirits the pain increases. Yoga helps and so does meditation. Unfortunately, I don't get to do it enough. The pandemic has kept us lethargic and that has not helped either. -Migs

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you so much @MIgs! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Very true, a lot of the cases I hear of are as a result of long periods of inactivity because of COVID.

The explanation that it was really the inflammation that was causing most of the pain made me less fearful of what was happening in my spine so i concentrated on trying to reduce that whilst also staying as mobile as possible and not sitting down for long. I'm a dog-walker and I managed walking 2 dogs for 5 miles yesterday with no excruciating spasms - I never imagined I would be able to do that 3 days ago! The stretches definitely helped me.

[@shannonwoodyard7670]

I'm definitely in this position. Went from acute to chronic. It's been almost 4 weeks. Pain has subsided, I'm at a 2 right now. Happened in gym but I continued to go for another week and then I tweaked it and I was down for the count. No gym, took off work a couple days. Iced it, but not for enough days I think. Started stretching a little but I think not enough. Every few days pain subsided a little. My job requires a little labor and sitting and processing on a computer. So having movement was very helpful and stretching at work. Pain is in one little spot now, getting plenty of rest after work everyday. Since watching video have a better understanding of my lower back pain and now I know when to take a break from gym sooner. So gym here I come, slowly but surely. Appreciate this video, definitely helps.

omg. thank you! this has been the best in my searching for answers!

I couldnt tell if my LB pain was from the bones or muscles. I now understand its muscular. Im coming out of phase 1 because I can zero in on the pain exactly now. Im having tight knot spasms in one glute and the piriformis is extremely tight. This video was very helpful, thank you so much 😊

[@ORIGINAL786dodi]

thanks, definitely helps understand my lower back pain before it was like a 3 or 4 out of 10 but due to a recent activity it’s now like 7 or 8 out of 10. and really painful, thank you very much for the explanation. 🙏🙏🙏

Finally! A thorough explanation. It’s most likely my muscles. I have lower back pain in a very specific spot. I can go months with no pain. Right now, it hurts so bad that I cannot stand up straight. In 44 yo. Every movement hurts. Pain shoots down my left leg. My MRI cannot explain why my back hurts 10/10. No MRI explanation=No treatment. Thank US healthcare! Rubish!

Beautifully said. I’m an OT so I didn’t pay much attention to the lower back when I was in school. Shame on me. My PT friends always tell me to stretch and strengthen, but this anatomy lesson has jumpstarted me into getting rid of my chronic, yes chronic lower back pain. Thank you.

[@Papa91echo]

Awesome educational video! This is just what I needed. I started doing deadlifts, probably too often and with too much weight which casued my lower back pain increasing, until I injured myself and it went into the accute stage. Most likley muscle spasm.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi @KingPat, I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling with back pain. It can be excruciating! I take it you're in phase 1. Have you tried any gentle massage or icing the area? I hope you have taken a break from the deadlifts for now. If you suspect, they (pains) are coming on due to muscle spasms, please check out my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZPHfXqEfpuSapY for how to deal with these. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@overlandshower4312]

I just experienced a sort of twinge while reaching into a lower cupboard and was immediately in a good deal of pain. I can now say I’m in phase 1 of acute lower back pain and it seems to be within that “most common” region of the superficial muscle you pointed out. I will admit that weakness is also the general cause of my back pain issues. I’m hoping to understand the differences of pain so I can better my back and make it stronger

[@bmarchbanks7661]

What have you been doing for the pain?

[@keving9512]

ice and rest seems to do it, and then strengthening and stretching once its healed. 6 months after that comment I got another session of pain but it only lasted a few days instead of a couple weeks@@bmarchbanks7661

THAT'S IT LOL I recently picked up about 100 concrete blocks, next day I felt fine till I was repairing a tractor tire, I reached out to pickup a tool and then it hit me. My back isn't to bad cause I kinda caught it early. It has been much worse in the past. Your video gives me a really good idea on what I need to work on. Soon as my back is back to normal I'm going to start strengthening my back and get in better shape. I can't stand back pain 😭 Thanks so much

This is really useful, cheers. I've struggled to find an explanation for my repeated back pains, which often leave me bed bound for a week at a time. Articles online often mention weakness as the cause, however it really helps seeing you point to the exact points where I experience pain and then explaining why that particular area is affected.

[@wheels-voice-tv_567]

Thanks Doc for the very clear presentation. I used to have constant pain in the lower back since I was diagnosed with Spondylosis in 2004. The pain was constant during that year, then in the next 5 to 7 years, only occassional pain. However in the latter years up to the present, the pain is rare but when triggered by heavy activities or standing for a long period of time, the pain is there. Now I have an isolated Cervical spondylosis which is more disturbing than my lower back.

[@karencarney7595]

[@hege4318]

Thank you. I'll try daily stretching. I've had backpain since I was 10 years old, but the last year I've gotten worse pain (need to use my arms to get up from a sitting position, looking like my 97 years old grandma). I also got urination problems (feels like I have to go all the time, 30-40 times a day, but it's not uvi) and whenever I need to do number 2 pressing gives insane pain in my lower back, menstual pain, glutes pain and pain all the way down to my knees. I went to my doctor and he thought it might be neurological and gave me sarotex for the pain, but after 5 weeks I still got 70% of the pain. I also went to naprapath, he said my muscles in my whole back were tense and used cupping, massage and unlocked a locking I had between my shoulder blades. It didn't help my lower back pain. 😔 I'm 30, but feels like I'm 80.. Going to try the stretching and walk more. I'm a student so at least 8 hours of sitting daily. 🙈

Strong stomach muscles help to give you a strong lower back.💡

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Yes, to some extent. But can you explain how and why? 🤔 Best wishes, Ashley

[@simonscott5104]

@@PrecisionWellbeing I think that the stomach muscles support & stabilises the spine by bracing tightly the core muscle which attach to the psoas & hips.💡But now my brain hurts lol Correct me please as I'd like to know for sure. Thanks in advance & keep up the kind helpful work.😊I had a bad back a few tears ago( Freudian slip lol) & found a yoga position called "legs up wall "really helped. My back is good mow.Take care from se England.

[@rhymeswithteeth]

@@PrecisionWellbeing Strong stomach muscles provide good structural rigidity between the ribs and the front of the pelvis. This structural rigidity prevents the top of pelvis from tipping forward and causing a bowing of the lower spine. By having stronger stomach muscles, and therefor a straighter lower spine, there is less pain-inducing stress on the discs and the internal muscles of the lower spine. How'd I do, Doc?

[@Poetry4Peace]

Strong stomach but weak back muscles are a disaster. So out of balance. Stretching is main focus before weight training.
