I always wondered about that! I walked past a yoga class in progress at the gym years ago and saw the instructor pushing down on a woman's back to force her further into the pose. It kind of made me nervous about the whole thing. I'm sorry it ended up causing you problems.

[@xbenxwilsonxhighlights7879]

I had low back problems for more than 5 five years. And one thing I can say is no matter what the problem is or who you are the key is to never give up. I had numbness is my legs I couldn’t do anything without pain I had people want to fuse discs and one said I had a cracked vertebrae. Long story short I’m 33 now and I deadlift and squat nearly double my body weight and I have zero back pain. So don’t give up try all different stuff I literally tried a thousand different exercises, stretches and all the back experts I could find. Eventually I hit the couple I needed with no surgery.

[@bwj4893]

Can you share the exercises you did? I have numbness in my left leg and would love to know what you did to eliminate it. I am more than twice your age and would like to get back to lifting weights, although not quite as much as you're doing, but I'm worried about putting pressure on my nerves and exacerbating the problem.

I returned to the yoga studio about a month ago after not going for a year because of COVID. What also returned is my lower back pain that hadn't bothered me much at all over that same year. I've come to the unfortunate realization that my beloved vinyasa practice does not serve my body, and in fact causes me harm 😥

There are always alternative poses. Talk to the instructor before the class and you should be given other options. Namaste.

I have seen that knees-to-chest one recommended for intestinal distress/gas pain - the idea being not to stretch but to roll back and forth and around on the curved back to, uh, get things loose and moving internally....

[@unemilifleur]

I recommand it to people who have severe lumbar arthrosis and chronic back pain.

[@refatrabadi6656]

I thought knees to chest was good? .. and cobra stretch was bad? how about one knee to Chest and to Opposite shoulder? Or figure 4 stretch.

[@unemilifleur]

@@refatrabadi6656 depends of the situation. Cobra can be good for people who have to bend often and/or lift things. Figure 4 stretch is more to stretch the bum (gluteus). I don’t know about knee to opposite shoulder, I never recommand it. I know that my hip would hate it.

[@curious1366]

I'm not quite sure that I understand why those two low back flexion movements aren't recommended. For me, my lower back and sacrum areas are so tight, that when I lay supine those muscles will start spasming. I find that flexion of the low back & sacral area while standing, is relieving of that tightness. Most people think that lying on your back, face up (supine) and feet straight out is a relaxed position. For me, lying supine IS NOT relaxing for me due to low back & sacral tightness Bending my knees will relieve the low back tightness when I'm supine. If Bob & Brad say that it isn't a good idea for forward flexion of the spine, then what choice do I have? Any responses are welcomed!

[@anyascelticcreations]

I think Brad was saying that there are exceptions and that some people are helped by it. The author of the book disagrees, so they say that most people shouldn't do it. But Brad says that it helps him personally, so he does it. I was taught in personal training not to do or teach these exercises. But I occasionally do them, too, and it helps me, too. Edit: I also use a heating pad in that area. That helps me a lot in relieving tension there, too.

[@curious1366]

@@anyascelticcreations Thank you for responding. I strongly suspect that if I'm super tight in the sacral area, then I'm probably also pretty weak anteriorly (ie lower abs). But most ab work makes me super spasmy in the sacral area. So I'd like to stretch the sacral area enough to counteract all the lower ab work. But Bob and Brad didn't make it clear as to what the negative consequences are-- they just said to not do it.

[@anyascelticcreations]

@@curious1366 When I was training to become a personal trainer they taught us that it compresses the lumbar spine. Have you tried stretching your psoaz? It causes the same anterior tilt that the muscles in the low back and sacral area do. Very often stretching psoaz relieves pain in the low back. There are lots of psoaz videos on KZbin if you want to try. I think that you're right that strengthening your abs is a good idea too. But not in a way that stresses your low back. Maybe look online for some very gentle ab exercises that you haven't tried. Maybe something different would help. 🤗

[@curious1366]

@@anyascelticcreations Thank you! Good idea to remember the psoas.

[@anyascelticcreations]

@@curious1366 You're welcome! If you do want to try the abs, I'd say look up transverse abdominus. You might be able to work that one without ticking off the low back and sacral area. 🤗

Heh, I know it's kind of a running-joke, but it's either cow-camel, or cow-cat. The "cow" part emulates the stereotypical perceived swayback of a cow (where the shoulders and hips are high, but the back dips low). Then arching the back upward is either a "camel" due to their humps, or the stereotypical portrayal of an angry or defensive "cat", the way they arch their backs up while puffing their tails and hissing.
