this is so true. i have to sit at the computer for hours because of work and stretching didn't really help with back pain. but once i started doing around 100 deep squats throughout the day, the pain quickly went away and now the back bothers me significantly less often. squats really do help you to develop hip mobility which greatly affect your overall well-being. not to mention that squats also help you to tone your core muscles which makes it so much easier to maintain neutral spine position. so yeah, i'd highly recommend anyone who suffers from back pain and has no severe conditions to try out simple squats and see if that works!

Excellent video! I have mild scoliosis at L4/5, and have been working on strengthening my core stabilizers the last 10+ years. Good to know that I'm on the right track, according to the tips in your video. Having a solid core has helped to reduce the number of episodes I have. At close to 60, I can enjoy hiking, skiing, etc, without worrying about my back as much as I have in the past. Will have a look at the 5 minute routine for low back pain - will be a good addition. Thanks for the amazing work, Coach E!

@sharaivandenhanenberg466 4 месяца назад

Thank you, this is so well explained. I was a dancer for years before having back surgery that caused a lot of trauma and nerve damage. I was always taught that pain/tight = stretch and work it out. It's badly ingrained in me and has caused injury and pain flare ups multiple times. I'm now aware of the issue, but at the same time it's so easy to slip up; somewhere in my brain there's still a dance teacher telling me to work it and stretch it.🤦🏻‍♀️ I LOVE the picking scab analogy. I'm going to imagine that next time I feel the urge to "stretch it out" - I think it might just stop me! 😂

OMG, this is a timely kick in the seat. That is exactly what happened to me, except to the mid-back area on one side. I overdid a morning stretch. After the pain set in later, gentle stretching trying to deal with it did not help. Had to wait it out, and be mindful about posture, sitting & sleeping in the mean time. Must get back into strength training and also avoid overdoing it. Pride in being flexible really did me in.

@Omakaj 4 месяца назад

Thanks Eric for posting this video and explaining this important information for us to think about and practice. In Summary Eric says: 1. Tight muscles become tight to protect our body. 2. Stretching tight muscles is like picking a scab and irritating things. 3. Therefore we should instead of stretching focus on maintaining a neutral spine 4. Maintaining neutral spine by activating and strengthening our core stabilisers. Please make more videos like this and help weave your knowledge for use to practice and benefit and share.

First of all love your channel. Question: if my patient is a electrician and does a lot of overhead movements resulting in a tight supraspinatus. Are you saying they shouldn't be stretching that muscle to provide length? Wouldn't stretching the supraspinatus assist with helping impingement among other things.

Have injured spine from MVA in college, spinal infection and laminectomy decades later, then microdiscectomy, doing core strengtheners and/or Pilates instantly relieves back pain. Am not consistent with these exercises but need to be. Am a paying Precision Movement subscriber of the older archives, but will purchase both the new hip and spine pain solution series. What is the difference between the control series and the pain solution series? Thank you again for all your work. I have referred Precision Movement to a young ortho surgeon who replaced my hip replacement surgeon who is now retired.

@PrecisionMovementCoach 4 месяца назад

Hi! Thanks so much for writing in. We love hearing from our followers. Also, thanks so much for the referral. The Pain Solution series are newer and easier to follow than the Control series. They can also be followed in the ROM Coach app with the scheduling and reminding tools to help you to be consistent. Let us know if you have any more quesitons :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

@MrBruneaux 3 месяца назад

I am following a Calisthenics program in parallel with a Mobility program. What I found out during my 6 months inviolvement is, that my lower back "immobility/stiffness" holds back my progress in many movements. I am doing a lot of exercise for improving my hamstring mobility which is also a big weaknesss, but the (related) lower back stiffness is a pain. Given that I am 60 years old, (but quite in good shape) I ahve little hope to improve this long-lasting stiffness. Do you have any suggestions apart from the exercise you showed in an older video?

@PrecisionMovementCoach 3 месяца назад

It is so great that you have found us. We have the solution for you. These exercises are a good start but the Low Back Pain Solution program is even better. It doesn't even matter that you are 60. It will work. I have 80 yo clients using it and they have zero stiffness. Learn more in the video description and let us know if you need any help getting started :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

@jennifermilan6467 4 месяца назад

What about stretching the thoracic area of the back? Every trainer loves to lead us through several upper spinal stretches prior to lifting or working out.

@VickiKech 4 месяца назад

yeah I did that, overdoing a twisted spinal stretch. The resulting pain would immobilize me, catching my breath. So counter productive.

@Bruce-ys1io 4 месяца назад

I pulled my left ham around nine months ago following a petite TV yogi from Hawaii who can twist herself into pretzel shapes. It's really tight and I've tried some assisted and static stretching with little help. Reformer Pilates just intensified the tightness. I sense that just waiting for it to heal will never return it to its normal flexible state. It's an effort to cross the leg over the right in a chair, its an effort to put the leg into pants. So, what can you do for any hurt muscle that's been tight like this for so long?

When we wake up in the morning. Then we feel some tightness in back muscles becoz of fluid release in whole night. If we stretch at that time is it provide any harm?

@PrecisionMovementCoach 4 месяца назад

FIrst of all the spine is most rigid in the morning because the discs have been absorbing fluid all night like sponges. Also, you have been relatively immobile so things can feel a little tight. There is no need to stretch ever. All you are doing is destabilizing your spine. Gentle and active mobilizations are what you need. Hope that helps :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

@JeffreyPia 4 месяца назад

Many fitness influencers would counter that the spine is meant to bend and twist; maintaining a neutral spine at all costs are what cause muscle atrophy and loss of mobility

@PrecisionMovementCoach 4 месяца назад

And I’m one of those. But in the case of a tight lower back, trying to restore mobility by bending, twisting, flexing, and what not, will only counteract what the tightness is trying to do, which is to protect, irritated, or damaged tissues. Search my channel for other videos where I talk about our full approach to low back pain and tightness.
