Very informative video for someone like me with back problems! Just curious though, have you heard of those G2 Back Stretch mats yet? They have self guiding pictures on them to help out with the routine.

this is not good…When you have a Hernia or a Bulging … the best way is swimming on your back… The only way is to make your muscles stronger back and abs and de deep muscles also.

Really? I always …
Really? I always just heard you shouldn’t bounce while stretching, I’ve never heard holding a stretch for too long could be dangerous. After I work out or run, I usually hold my stretches for anywhere from 15-30 seconds, depending on stiffness/soreness.
Hmmm…shall have to keep it in mind. Thanks.

i actually do your 3rd strech first cause it feeles better to compress my back muscles before doing the flexion streches

NEVER hold a single stretch for a whole minute. Worst advice imaginable. I wouldn’t recommend using any of the stretches he shows but ultimately it’s down to you there does seem to be a lot of positive feedback. BUT, if you are going to do it, stretch for around 8-10 seconds then relax, it can be repeated if neccessary but holding a stretch for 1 minute like he suggests is dangerous!

If you have low …
If you have low back pain, among a host of other ailments, there is a really good book called “Healing Back Pain” by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys, without a doubt, the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and has nothing to do with anatomy. I highly recommend it. You can probably find it at your local library if you don’t want to purchase it. P.S. I’ve had 2 discectomies in the past - didn’t know better, and………..yeah, it’s a really worthwhile read.

LOL, you are …
LOL, you are correct. Flexion is NOT what you want to do with low back pain. You need to be evaluated by a McKenzie and/or Mulligan trained physical therapist. Flexion compresses front of disc, can increase bulge

This movement is ‘ …
This movement is ‘flexion.’ You typically want to avoid flexion w/low back pain, especially in morning as your discs imbibe fluids during night and r more susceptible to stress. When u flex, u compress anterior portion of disc and this can further increase a bulged disc. Sometimes your spinal canal can widen to accommodate bulge, however, while it ‘may’ feel good initially, u can in actuality worsen the problem. Get a McKenzie evaluation via a PT before doing anything like this if u have pain.
