    I read his book Back Mechanic and last 6 months I do his big 3 exercises before every workout in the gym and every time before running workout. 0 back pain since. Stiffness and stability is best thing you can do for your back

      I have been having issues with lower back pain for which physical therapy has not been effective, pain is now down into my foot. I tried the big three, but the Bird Dog caused me great pain. I could only do one! 😢 I can hardly walk and am just beyond exhausted with this pain - thing is, the pain is only there when I walk, or when I twist or turn, like when I am working in the kitchen, or when I am putting laundry away (reaching my arms over my head cause severe hip pain).
      Is it possible to modify the Bird Dog?

      @@andreafierro4275 I am sorry to hear that. Don't worry, how you felt after is a common occurrence and working up to the bird-dog will help you a ton.
      To answer your question, yes! You can start on all fours and start by raising one arm. After 10 seconds, put arm down then lift the same arm again. You can then progress up to arm, 10 seconds, then down, then opposite leg. Eventually, work up to opposite arm and leg. Keep at it! Also, if it doesn't work, feel free to find a modified version that works for you! As long as there is no pain, it is progress!!!!

    I fixed my occasional lower back pain and constant and extreme planta fasciitis over the last year or so through hot yoga. I go four or five times per week. The pain is all gone now. I only explicitly do the bird dog, but I do similar movements to the other two. "The Big Three," Bikram, Original Strength, and many other programs can probably get similar results. Going to my HMO provider did nothing for me! If I relied on that, I'd probably have ended up under a knife getting a tendon cut. I'm grateful all of this information is out there now for free.

    I have sensitivity on left side of lumbar due to “ degenerative disc and I pull to right apparently subconsciously. It was progressive according to my Dr. On MRI shows black area only it seemed on L5 S1. Going to go to PT again but last time so much strength training I started feeling compressed in upper/ mid back.. I know I have posture issues. Weak left side etc. but no sharp stabbing pain just unstable and mostly pulling feeling and spams. Dr suggested radio frequency ablation to nerve or nerves? Does that weaken muscles and make things worse? I am nervous about that idea. Getting two nerve blocks first .. would trying that help me decide. Is there some other procedure that could relax area? I really feel pretty strong. Was doing 35 lb squats at PT.. 71..just compression got uncomfortable. I am not flexible on that side either. I thought cortisol. Maybe just nerve block to relax tension. Muscle relaxers did not seem to work. Big concern is radio frequency ablation and ability to strengthen back muscles after??! Any ideas or suggestions? I was thinking of second opinion? I have mostly fascia discomfort?

    @MrQuadcity 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +32

    The key takeaways from the discussion between Peter Attia and Stuart McGill on reducing lower back pain and preventing injury include:
    1. **The Big Three Exercises**: Stuart McGill emphasizes the importance of three core exercises-modified curl-up, side plank, and bird dog-for building spinal stability and resilience. These exercises are designed to increase core stiffness without placing undue stress on the spine, making them effective for both pain management and performance enhancement.
    2. **Individualized Approach**: McGill challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to back pain, highlighting the need for personalized assessments to determine the most suitable exercises for each individual. Factors such as body type, existing stiffness, and specific pain triggers must be considered.
    3. **Core Stability as a Foundation**: The analogy of a backhoe stabilizer bars is used to explain the concept of core stability. Just as stabilizers allow a backhoe to operate effectively, core stiffness in humans is essential for efficient and powerful movement.
    4. **Performance Enhancement**: Beyond pain management, the Big Three exercises have been shown to improve performance in various physical activities. Increased core stiffness, achieved through these exercises, leads to better movement efficiency and power transfer.
    5. **Neural Adaptation**: The benefits of the Big Three exercises extend beyond muscular changes to include neural adaptations. These exercises can create a lasting increase in core stiffness, which can have both immediate and long-term benefits for pain management and physical performance.
    6. **Not Suitable for Everyone**: McGill notes that the Big Three exercises are not universally appropriate. Individuals with excessive stiffness or certain body types may not benefit from these exercises, underscoring the importance of a tailored exercise regimen.
    7. **Integration into Daily Life and Sports**: The principles behind the Big Three exercises are applicable not only to individuals seeking to alleviate back pain but also to athletes aiming to enhance their performance. McGill provides examples from sports to illustrate how core stability is crucial for effective movement.

    Having applied the work of Prof. Stuart McGill and Prof Shirley Sahrmann for over 30 years as a clinician, I can highly recommend the book Back Mechanic for a clear, jargon-free guide to understanding how to find the triggers that cause symptoms and how to manage these for a lifetime. If your physical therapist fails to assign a diagnosis (or even worse tells you it is non-specific low back pain NSLBP) or you have had a telephone call with a generic leaflet, vote with your feet and buy this book. The exercises are NOT the secret sauce.

    The Big 3:
    - side plank
    - bird dog
    - curl up

    The answer to whether you should do or will find relief with these exercises is and always will be:
    ...it depends.

  • @backfru
    @backfru 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The Big 3 never did a thing for me.
    And my main irk with this approach is, those particular exercises and prescribed by his camp for virtually anyone with a back issue.
    Yet if someone says they get no relief from performing them, it's apparently simply a case of "not doing them correctly", or "poor technique" or something.
    This core stability thing has become some kind of panacea/holy grail for anyone with any kind of back pain.
    "non negotiable"
    Really?
    Why?
    I've gone through phases where I do them religiously every morning for months, and notice no difference if I do them or not. I'd much rather go outside for a walk, or do a yoga session, or lie down for a few mins - these activities give me more relief than any amount of 'core stability' work.

      if you are doing yoga ( or some stretches for twisting the spine) with Big 3, then you won't see any positive result. Read the Back Mechanic first

    Am I missing something or is the thumbnail poor form and/ or not taken at the peak of the motion??

    • @EdwardsNH
      @EdwardsNH 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, that's extremely poor form, and Dr. McGill would roll his eyes if he saw it. There is no part of a bird dog that should look like that

      It's not that people are idiots and can't use google , it's that there are all sort of ways to do these exercises the wrong way so since Peter said he'll post videos of those, we can presume what he refers to will be THE right way.
