TFT47: Lower Back Pain While Hiking


Listen Later

This episode shares with you my simple, 3-step formula for overcoming and preventing lower back pain during hiking and everyday life.

There is nothing more debilitating, more frustrating and more stressful then lower back pain while hiking.

That jolting pain during descents.

That heart-pumping anxiety whenever you step in a pothole or have a slip, stumble or slide.

That constant ache during a day on the trail, which distracts you from the beautiful thing around you.

Lower back pain is an easy way to such all the enjoyment out of a day on the trail.

So today, I talk you through my process to help reduce the incidence of lower back pain, whether it is for the trail or simply your everyday life.

You will learn:

  • Two areas of mobility which are CRITICAL for anyone experiencing lower back pain
  • The single most important muscle group to develop and strengthen when experiencing lower back issues while hiking (plus a few of my favourite exercises to help here)
  • What 'core stiffness' is and why it is important for lower back pain (plus how it is different than traditional 'core strength')
