🔥 CONTROVERSIAL TAKE: The "rest your back" advice everyone gives you? It's actually making your pain WORSE. If you've ever been told: ❌ "Just rest your back" ❌ "Take it easy for a few months" ❌ "Stop lifting until it's healed" ...that advice might be why you're STILL struggling months (or years) later. I know because I fell for it too. After my injury, I stopped training completely. Rested for months. And it made everything worse. Here's the truth no one tells you: Rest might help immediately after injury, but long-term rest = weakness, stiffness, and MORE flare-ups. In this episode, I break down: 💥 Why resting too long actually makes back pain worse 💥 What your back really needs (hint: it's not more rest) 💥 My 3-step approach to training safely again without flare-ups If you're stuck in that fear → rest → flare-up cycle, this one's for you. 🎧 Listen now: Search "The Lower Back Pain Podcast (That Actually Helps)" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
