I have c6-7 bulging disc and spinal stenosis 35yrs Shoulder blades are a problem. I have had torn labrums (Shoulders) since 25yrs I am worried about these workouts. Do you have any recommendations for whether I should or shouldn't do these in this video, or if I should check out other videos instead???
I am so glad I found your channel. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc at L5-S1 and was basically told not to exercise too much, not to train too hard, light stretching and low impact exercises for life basically. As a 26 year old you can imagine I was devastated and felt like I'd lost my youth. There's no trainers who deal with these kinds of conditions in my country so I started googling and there you were! Thanks for giving people their movement back!
same, I'm 19 years old and I felt so bad about it cause it was the time I had started gym workouts and it boosted up my confidence. When they told me I had that, I cried cause all of my motivation was just thrown away.
I know it been 8 months since this comment but same here! I'm about to be 24 and have the worst chronic pain of my life all because a dude wanted to drink and drive. This shit sucks
Been suffering from bulging discs on my L4-L5 and L5-S1, living in pain for more than a year now. Kept being told to not engage in any form of exercises except stretches, which i did so as to being afraid of causing myself more injury and pain, but gradually have only made me feel weaker overtime. Glad to have stumbled upon your videos, this is really the push and motivation i needed to take matters into my own hands. Hope this will change things around for me.
Did you find anything to help? I have an L4-L5-S1 disk bulge that I’ve been dealing with for 8 months and still have discomfort/pressure and nagging pain 24/7. Luckily I’m able to do some workouts now but can’t find a way to get rid of the 24/7 discomfort it’s mentally draining
@@Two4Jay I have the same issue as you, I would recommend following the McGill big 3 and sticking with it for a couple months. It helped me go from barely being able to stand up to being almost symptom free. He recommends stopping all workouts other than his exercises until you are pain free and then slowly easing back into working out. I wish I could tell you that one day it just magically disappears but disc herniations are unfortunately a life sentence, the rehab has to become part of your routine to maintain the progress.
I got into a back injury that set me back from the gym for 2 weeks and I decided to dedicate more time to train my core now to prevent future injuries.. I'm so glad I found you!
Suffering from a compressed disk & I did the last two which felt AMAZING! My sciatica pain was so bad until I tried these. Instant pain relief! Going to do these 3-4 times a week and will update soon!
I have uneven hips, and I injured my lower back while doing barbell row. I couldn't even wear socks because I couldn't bend over at all. That was such a horrible time. After 6months, I feel way better, but I can still feel that my lower back is very stiff. So, I'm gonna do this exercise along with the lower back stability exercise as part of my new year's resolution! Hopefully, I can stick with this and enhance my core. I'll leave a comment again at the end of this year :)
I will put this comment for the Calisthenics guys! :D I will definitely start doing them. Im a calisthenics athlete but I suffered disc herniation (l5/s1) made worst during leg day probably :( It's sad that I have to stop my front lever / L sit / Planche Training, but I think this routine and also some lean plank with straight and flat lower back and contracted gluteus will not hurt since basically has the same muscle activation of dead bug, but inverted. Leg raises on the bar are dangerous but at same time they can be done safely, maybe with a support/column behind and without extending the lower back. About Pull ups and all kind of bar and dips exercises the important thing is to always hold hollow body, at least since the core and Gluteus are getting stronger to prevent over tension in the lumbar area. Let me know what you all think! Let's keep up the gains
Thank you so much! I have multiple disc bulges from C down to L since my spine straightened due to an accident together with a sacralized L5 and left leg weakened and suffering from muscle pain caused by my back injury. I've been searching for exercises safe for my injuries 😇😇😍😍
Thank you for this series! I've just been diagnosed with 4 bulging discs. I knew I was working on hurting myself by running up stairs with 10lb (ea) ankle weights on my lunch breaks daily. I'm only 40 and (was) in great shape before I've been forced to "rest" for a week. This channel is so helpful and gives me hope I can be in great shape even with this injury.
This actually works 😭. Its been three weeks I came across this video and now I can say my pain has subsided gradually with great improvement. Gonna perform this regularly. My fav one is the plank, the side plank and loaded dead bug. Thank you for the video 👍
I’m hoping this works! I actually had a surgery to remove parts off a nerve near my L5 S1 that was bothering my mobility and as a 20 year old barely starting to figure out my life i was absolutely heartbroken. but after surgery my life improved but noticed slight pain again and i know i needed to strengthen my core in order to gain more stability and strength. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
This video is very Beneficial to those who have Herniated or Bulging Disc . My favorite exercise you demonstrated was the Pail of Press in the kneeled position vs in standing . And using a lighter weight of Theraband . Because The pail of Press performed in standing can hurts . And aggravates your back pain . It is good to know it is another way to do it safe without further aggravation of your spine if you are suffering with disc problem . But wants to strengthening your core . Thanks for this excellent well informed video .
Hey 👋 thanks for the video, very informative, just wondering if you could provide a suggested number of reps/sets for each exercise that I could use in my workout routine, would be very much appreciated, thanks! 🙏
I love these exercises. L5 radiculopathy. I could feel my core engage. I'm going to do them for a few weeks to see if the pain improves. I like the ski exercise best. 🙂
How often should you workout your core? Some people say everyday and some say 2 to 3 times a week. I know everyone's different. I think every other day sounds good but I'm not sure and dont wanna hurt my back by doing too much.
I am 17 years old . I also had this about 2 to 3 years ago . Because of this i have gained a lot of weight. And lost strength also . I hope this will make my body in proper shape.
Been struggling to find a good work out regime for my L4-5 disc protrusion, as there isn't a lot of exercise regime/programs focused on strengthening for people with disc herniation I'll do these along with bridges and hope it helps me.

Thanks William! Had a bit of a flare up last week bending down to the freezer.... typical. Do you usually perform these before or after a workout? I usually warm up with McGill but thinking I should dedicate more core time.
@@Fitness4BackPain Your videos should have a lot more views. You are very knowledgeable. 99% of the videos you find on this topic are BS and likely to make peoples conditions worse. You must be familiar with Stewart Mcgill.
Thank you, I have a microdiscectomy coming up and I'm trying to see if I strengthen my core would possibly help with healing of it and avoid surgery all together.
I need a 6pk like asap will these workouts get me that 6pk I desperately want ??? Not being able to do situps because of my herniated disc is gotten me in a situation where I now have a beer belly and I don't even drink beer 🤦♂️
Can this help you lose weight too? Or does it simply only strengthen your core? Im 17 years old, and I've been struggling with a herniated disk for two years already...and I lost lots of strength and gained a bit of weight... Im just hoping to find something that can make me lose weight too😔
@@donimills7004 well it's been over 3 years and it has definitely gotten better. Although I doubt I will ever recover 100%. I still can't bend all the way down without it being painful afterwards. But as long as I'm not bending all day i feel fine. No more constant demoralizing pain, those days are gone thankfully. So if you have the same thing and you're feeling a bit down I just wanna let you know it definitely gets better. Keep in mind that I work a physically demanding job that has undoubtedly contributed to the length of my recovery.
should i do or try to do sit ups with a herniated disc? reason why I ask is that all bench exercises require me to a sit up at the end of the exercise.
I have a herniated C5 and C6 with cord compression. Before this I was in the gym lifting. Now idk how to proceed from here with my fitness journey. It’s really depressing.
Hi, I was suffering through herniated disc for long. I would recommend one exercise that changed my life. Step 1: Lie on your back on a mat , then slowly pull up your knees and bring them up to your chest . Hold this position for 30 secs. Step 2: Perform a Cobra pose and hold it for 30 secs. Perform this 5 times and you ll definitely see the difference.
Loved all of these! But I have a question about the last one. Can I put a small cushion under my back while laying on the floor for more support? Laying flat on the ground tends to hurt and feel uncomfortable. Thanks brotha
I don’t prefer to do that. Try to find a “neutral to you” position and brace around that instead of defaulting to slamming the low back into the ground.
I'm curious what kind of resistance band youre using because it doesnt look like a theraband. Is it a pullup assist band or more of a tube like a workout weight-replacement exercise band?
I have slight tingling in the foot and heel but no back pain. I’ve been doing McGill 3 for a while but took a break 2 weeks ago to see if my tingling numbness would go away. Would you do these in my situation?
When it comes to the dead bug exercise I’ve seen a lot of people recommend pressing your back all the way to the floor. Are you doing that? Or are you keeping some space between the floor and your low back?
Since #3 and #4 exercise hurt my back, and since I don't have a band on hand, what else can I do to help this herniated disk problem? Pain is radiating from back to ankle!
I wouldn't say it's ideal because in the resistance band when you get it further away the force that's being applied is getting higher but in the cable machine it's always at the same rate
I have two bulging disc l4 l5 s1 l5 with nerve pain/numbness in right calf. Iam going to PT, getting injections, but Iam hoping to be able to get back to BJJ. anyone else have this problem?? does it get better?
