The Resilient Body with Dr. Ar'neka

Ep. 168 Your Low Back Isn't Weak, its Overworked


Listen Later

If your back hurts after workouts, chores, or even sitting too long, this episode will help you understand why. Many people are told to strengthen their core, but the real issue is often that the back is overworking because other areas are not doing their part.

In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka explains how the back becomes the default stabilizer when the core and hips are not coordinating well. You will learn how tight hips, disconnected breathing, and overactive glutes place extra stress on the spine, even in people who are strong and active.

You will also learn simple strategies to rebalance your system to help your back stop compensating so it can finally relax and recover.

The key message is that your back is not weak. It is carrying too much of the work. When you restore support from your core and hips, your back pain can improve quickly and sustainably.

If you are tired of stretching, adjusting, or trying random exercises without results, this episode will give you a clearer understanding of what is actually going on and what steps to take next.
