    It’s been a long while since I’ve written a comment on your always awesome video Doctor. It’s Fadi here, the former Olympic weightlifter from the early 80s. Fast forward to today, and I’ve got spondylolisthesis in the L4/L5. To say I’m scared to do what I would love to do (power cleans, front squats, Romanian deadlifts etc), would be a huge understatement indeed. The irony is, I could very easily and with perfect form, perform all th movements I’ve mentioned, yet due to a particular doctor on TH-cam (Canadian I believe), specialising in spondylolisthesis, I stopped doing said exercises 2 years ago, lest my back goes into spasm (wouldn’t wish that crippling pain on my worst enemy). So anything that potentially places my spine into an extension mode (over a flexion mode), I don’t do.
    Watching your videos, I’m tempted to give it a go, yet I’m literally petrified, due to the reminder of some previous back spasms (due to stiff erector spinae muscle).
    Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us all, your content is simply priceless!

      Hey Fadi! Long time but great to hear from you again! it's important to know fi the spondy is stable or unstable. Then if you ever were to ease into those activities the key is to start really easy, and be extremely patient as you add weight. Also the key is to start with slow movements before fast movements. If you ever want to give rehab a try I do write people's exercise programs through my Beyond Back Pain 12-Week Healing Intensive. Hope you're doing well!

    Great video. I am diagnosed with L4L5 herniated disc from march 2023. Never had sciatica pain probably since herniation is located posteriorly and is slightly pressing dural sac. I still have that dull, boring constant pain from muscle tension. I am also dentist and oral surgeon specialist working a lot in those bend positions over patients. But I feel like my back muscles are always tight and tense in some overprotective mode that is giving me that chronic pain. I used to be very active snowboarding, basketball, hiking you name it, and now I am avoiding all those activities. Any suggestions how to correct this? Thanks

    Thank you for this video! I would like the links for the studies about static stretching please!

      I cited sources on each slide. I also have a bunch of other videos just search my channel for "static stretching" for more references.

      thanks@@ShapeshiftWellness. I asked because during the video you said we could ask if we needed more studies. I'll look the other videos up.

      @@claudiadelangeI tried looking for the article I had in mind but couldn’t find it on my phone. Here’s an overview showing stretching as a warm up doesn’t reduce soreness or injury:

    i had pain in my lower back for two months trying a lot of things including stretches, the thing that ended it was piriformis muscle stretch. when i stretched it for the first time my pain went away for a minute for the first time in 2 months. i started doing it several times a day and the pain went away completely and hasn't come back after i'd stopped
    (i wasn't flexible and i had not been exercising at all before this pain started)

    It doesn't look professional when you use cuss words in your video.
