Sam, how come they say NOT to lie on your stomach when you sleep because it is bad for your back, but this movement where you lie on your stomach helps?

Why wouldn't sleeping on your stomach be even better?

@TheXFrame,

Sleeping on your stomach may cause compression in the facet joints, which for some people can cause pain. In addition, turning your head to one side may cause neck pain. However, when facing pain from a disc bulge that is acute, it is the best option, as in some cases, it can cause immediate relief. I recommend using a massage table with a face cradle to eliminate neck stress.

@HolisticSam - Sam, can I do this a week after Lumbar 5, Sacrum 1 discectomy? I'm looking to do some exercises since I'm not registered for any physio therapy or rehab sessions. I'm going to do it on my own. Also, what other exercises or stretches would help? Thanks.

@shimokita2

I wouldn't do this a week after surgery.

what swiming stroke is good for L5 S1 disk bulge????

[HolisticSam]

@mrsq1979,

I don't recommend any swimming with an active disc bulge.  Too risky without direct therapist approval.

@HolisticSam - Thanks. Then I'm just going to take it easy with no exercises for the next four weeks. I read on the Internet that generally people wait 4 - 6 weeks until beginning exercises.
