Low Back Pain Rehab Video - Low Back Strain

THIS HURTS!

What hurts...: I have injured my back.




How you hurt it...: I have always had a "bad back" so to strengthen it I was working out at a gym and started doing dead lifts with a barbell and weights.

When you hurt it...: It has been a couple of months. I have started taking muscle relaxers and some prescription anti inflammatories.

Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): At the worst it felt like someone had taken batting practice on my right side, then used my back for a punching bag. It has gotten better but very slowly and it still feels like something is sore when I get up in the morning. Right now 4 or 5.

Your age and overall health...: 51 and overall pretty good. I have completed 2 marathons and really like running. I mostly run on a treadmill except on the weekend and then mostly on concrete. I am a bit overweight though.

Any other information you feel is relevant...: I just don't know how to tell it's ok to start running again and then how much to increase the intensity and how often. My hamstrings are pretty tight in general so knowing what stretches and how often would be helpful.

YOUR INJURY COULD BE...

Low Back Strain.

REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...

Hamstring Stretch: Lie on your back. Grab behind your knee and straighten your leg, pushing your heal up towards the ceiling and bringing your toes down towards you. You should feel a stretch behind your leg. Hold this position for 15 seconds. Do this on both legs repeating 3 times for each leg.

Lumbar Stabilization: Get on your knees and hands. Tighten up your stomach so your back is flat. Envision putting a cup full of water on the base of your back - keep the water from spilling. Alternate lifting your arms up, keeping your back flat. Repeat 20 times (10 times on each arm). Once you can perform this exercise without any pain, then do the same with just your legs. Once you can perform your leg exercise with no pain, then perform both arm and leg lifts together alternating sides. Your goal is to complete 20 lifts pain free.

Then do some deadlifts. Deadlifts can heal anything except the tampon you have shoved up your ass. Your going to have to take that our yourself.

I have chronic lower back pain. By chronic I mean I had constant pain and two spasms in a period of a year. I'm 20 years old and I like to do judo. However, the nature of my injury doesn't allow me to comit to the sport as it is very physically demanding. I want to know how many times a week should I do these exercises and also, does pilates help? If so, how many times a week should I do pilates? Thanks for everything

This is bullshit. It will hurt your back and leg muscles. Better to do the stretch towel trick. Works for me.

Maybe you can help me. I play alot of golf and I used to jetski alot over 15 years. They may have to do with the back pain I have. It feels like It bone on bone by the doctor says its just a strain or bruise. I hurt it again useing a sledge hammer doing yard work. It hurts I try useing ice and some kind of menthol gel. What can I do to help reduce this pain and keep the pain away in the future. it really even effects the way I walk and forget about swinging a golf club. Please help.

Some people are so dumb abd deserve the back pain they have. Running,Deadlifting and so many ab exercises are horrible for you back. 99% of all people also have terrible posture! What idiot would do deadlifts if they have a bad back?

[Maiden6171]

@asimTKD Dont do crunches no stop right away before you injur yourself more there bad
