Are your sciatica exercises actually making your nerve pain worse? You’re not alone—and in this episode, we break down why that happens, what it really means, and how to adjust your approach for better, safer results.👣 Here’s What You’ll Learn:- Why pain during exercise isn’t always a bad sign.- How to interpret pain as feedback, not failure. - The real purpose of spine stability exercises.- Why some popular sciatica drills (like nerve flossing) aren’t helping your healing.✅ The Right Exercises for Sciatica Relief:We're talking about true spine stability work—exercises like squats, hip hinges, and core drills like the Dead Bug. These movements teach you to keep your spine still while your body moves, which is crucial for healing.🤔 Pain During Exercise? Ask These 2 Key Questions:- Did I just perform that rep incorrectly? (Try again with better form)- Is this version of the exercise just too advanced for me right now? (Scale back!)💡 Pro Tip:Work within aggravation-free levels while still challenging yourself. Half reps, regressions, or tweaks in technique are all part of the process.🚫 Avoid This Critical Mistake:Don’t give up just because pain shows up. It doesn’t mean you’re broken or that the movement is wrong for you. It means you’ve found your current limit—which is exactly where you need to work!🔬 Think of Your Rehab Like a Lab:Every exercise is a controlled experiment. You’re learning, refining, and improving your spinal control in the safest environment possible. Just like a toddler learning to walk—there will be missteps, and that’s okay.🎥 Watch now to understand how to unlock real progress in your sciatica rehab and stop letting fear or frustration hold you back.#SciaticaRecovery #NervePainRelief #SpineStability #CoreTraining #BackPainHelp #FixYourSciatica #DeadBugExercise #RehabMistakes #StrengthThroughHealing #PainFreeProgressChapters:0:00 Introduction1:04 The Right Exercises1:42 Why Spine Stability?2:21 The Value Of Pain5:51 Avoid This Mistake6:50 Fixing In The Lab

💥 Healing Herniated Discs in the Low Back – What You NEED to Know 💥👉 Need Help With Your Back Pain? Check this full video out now "Fixing Back Pain Master Class" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIYFt7qQbJw 📚 Resources:📖 https://backinshapeprogram.com/2025/04/healing-herniated-discs-in-the-low-back/

Being diagnosed with a herniated disc can feel overwhelming, but here’s the truth: surgery is rarely needed, and full recovery IS possible. In this video, we’ll walk you through how herniated discs actually heal, the real science behind disc repair, and what you can do starting today to rebuild your back.🎯 What You’ll Learn:- What a herniated disc really is.- How the body heals a disc naturally (and why yours may not be healing yet).- Why “forever damaged” is a myth.- What it means to rebuild your disc and return to a strong, pain-free life.📉 Why Healing Can Be Slow:- Low blood supply to spinal discs.- Constant mechanical stress from daily life.- Minor re-aggravations that slow progress.- No way to "brace" the spine like a limb injury.💪 But There’s Good News:Discs can adapt, strengthen, and remodel—just like muscles and bones. Even if your disc never returns to its original form, that doesn't mean you can’t live a fully active, unrestricted life.🛠️ 3-Phase Healing Plan✅ Short-Term Strategy:- Stop making it worse.- Use relief drills (like our Back Pain Relief Routine).- Learn to move with spine neutrality.- Build a safe foundation with the Core 5 For Spine Health.✅ Medium-Term Strategy:- Gradually increase resistance within pain-free ranges.- Strengthen surrounding muscles for support and protection.- Remodel the disc by slowly reintroducing load.✅ Long-Term Strategy:- Stay consistent over months and years.- Continue progressive resistance.- Rebuild collagen and disc resilience for lasting change.🏁 It’s not about getting back to where you were—it’s about becoming even stronger than before. Most people never reach their true physical potential before injury… now is your chance to build it right.#HerniatedDisc #BackPainRelief #SpineHealth #DiscRecovery #SciaticaRelief #CoreExercises #FixYourBack #RehabStrategy #SpinalHealing #MRIReality #LongTermRecoveryChapters:0:00 Introduction1:04 What Is A Herniated Disc?3:53 Expect Your Disc To Be Healing4:51 Limitations On Disc Healing8:57 Never The Same Again9:09 Had You Peaked?10:51 Forever Handicapped13:04 Rebuild The Disc

🛑 When Should You Add Spinal Flexion to Your Rehab? 🤔👉 Need Help With Your Back Pain? Check this full video out now "Fixing Back Pain Master Class" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIYFt7qQbJw 📚 Resources:📖 https://backinshapeprogram.com/2025/03/recovery-from-back-pain-when-to-add-flexion/If you’ve been following our videos, you know that spinal flexion (forward bending, knee hugs, etc.) is NOT recommended early in back pain recovery. But does that mean you should never do it? Not necessarily!✅ Before You Even Consider Adding Flexion:- Axial Loading: You should be able to squat or hip hinge 75-100% of your bodyweight pain-free- Hip Mobility: Your hips should have good mobility in all ranges to reduce strain on your lower back- Full-Body Strength: By achieving the above, you’ve built resilience in your discs, ligaments, and spine🛠 Who Actually Needs Flexion Training?- Athletes in sports like BJJ or MMA who experience forced flexion under load- If you’ve evaluated your spinal mobility and truly lack flexion in daily life- If you’re pain-free and have met the prerequisites for safe progression🚨 Most people won’t even need to add flexion-specific training! By the time you meet the strength & mobility requirements, your back pain is likely gone and flexion becomes a natural part of daily movement again.🎯 Want to recover smarter and avoid unnecessary setbacks?
