Thank you! Sounds like it would help me a lot. I have very weakened core, disc degeneration, stenosis, nerve pain and spondy . Would love to know more about this breathing technique. Can you elaborate for us? 🙏🏼
As usual, your root causes approach to understanding problem and then finding helpful solutions. Thank you ! CBT continues as part of my internal toolbox and is helping me:) Happy 4th🎉
Thank you, very important! I felt it quite at first that when I take a deep breath and fill the abdominal cavity with air, without collapsing the waist forward, but like a vacuum of air in the abdominal cavity, it helps a lot with walking and in general. Fortunately, I was involved in a lot of different sports and the breathing is very similar to the breathing practiced in martial arts such as karate, which comes with grounding. Now I have received confirmation that I am doing the right thing and there is no confusion. Thanks
I bought a home stretching device and I've had problems with sciatica since the first time I used it with moderate intensity. I don't know for sure that's what caused it but I've not been game to risk it again.
Hey thanks...that was a "good one" 'cause you jumped right in and I "got" the breath and "not" my inversion boots...yet, unless done with your logical active, Not passive 'traction'...I have Multilevel degenerative disc disease of lumbar spine most noticeably from L1-2 through L3-4. Lower lumbar facet arthropathy. Also levocurvature of lumbar spine. Grade 1 stepwise retrolisthesis of L1 over L2 and L2 over L3. Minimal anterolisthesis of L4 over L5. Vertebral body height is preserved. Multilevel degenerative disc disease with disc space narrowing and osteophytes most noticeably at L1-2, L2-3 and L3-4. Lower lumbar facet arthropathy. This due to years of exercise/construction. Your information has been a tutorial for ME, as to what NOT to do... Thanks so much... I sing your praises thru-out the Land, and on FB... Cheers. GXF
Have seen over 100 such videos, all by chaps under 40, non apparently know personally what is Sciatica pain Now 78 , regular exercise and games since I was 8, still not a single lose muscle in body, till 70 could match most 40s in fitness Never thought would face sciatica Last 8 years pain has not left All doctors/physio at loss, now which muscle to be strengthen , nothing works Resigned to fact age has caught up have to live with it
You can try, in addition to strengthening exercises, to do some accupressure on your back and side of your legs. A book.. Accupressure for Dummies really helped me cure my sciatica and never had a problem again. Give it a try.
This video makes an absolute sense to me, I feel my back gets evenore fragile after using the pull up bar without embracing the core firmly. Do u recommend using SI joint belt while doing physical work? Or during biking?
I agree, static hanging from inversion boots is not nearly as effective as performing exercise while inverted. For example, reverse squats, set ups, swings twist, and more that way you can lengthen and strengthen the tissue around the spine, while inverted. I have taken x-rays of people with spondylolisthesis and after five minutes, the Spondylolisthesis totally reduces. When combined with appropriate stabilization exercises, you can correct spondylolysis.
Are you talking about engaging your core muscles upon inhalation? I'm trying this as I watch your video, and I can feel that it relieves the pain and tension a little bit!
I have grade 2 spondylolisthesis. I do an inversion table every day for three minutes and it makes me feel a whole lot better for the whole day. I wear an SI joint belt. This is the first time I’ve heard someone tell me I shouldn’t do inversion. I also hang from a pull-up bar a few times a day and it really relieves my pain is something wrong with me?
Hi Kenbot! This video is focused on bio-mechanical effects of spinal decompression. If your symptoms improve, that is fantastic and there is nothing wrong with you. It makes perfect sense that off-loading your spine makes it feel better. It seems you have gotten to the point of doing it several times a day, which may indicate a dependency. This could support the message of the video that hanging on your ligaments can contribute to instability, so I would recommend combining your hanging routine with some stabilization exercise to combat these potential effects. Regardless, the fact that it makes you feel a whole lot better is excellent. Thanks for sharing!
I just want to correct you on one thing. The chiropractic decompression works for longer than a few hours. I've had exrays and MRI's to show that decompression does over time create more space between the vertebra there by reducing pain and increasing space for the nerves. I do have to continue for the rest of my life just not as frequently. More like once or twice a month some people may even be able to maintain their space at one visit every 3 months. Depending on the person. But I also recognize what you are teaching as core to support my spine for the rest of my life also. If at any point in time I quit doing everything I'm doing I'm sure I will end up back in this same predicament.
Thank you for sharing, Bonnie. The most important factors are your symptoms and quality of life. X-rays and MRIs are surprisingly subjective and change depending on your body position when the pictures are taken, and the person interpreting the results. Studies involving a larger sample size of participants show that decompression does not result in long term increases in disc height. This is because the fluid in a disc is constantly getting squeezed out under load, and imbibing back into the disc when the spine is unloaded. This is a diurnal cycle meaning every day, the fluid goes out, and returns back. It is hard for me to make sense of a claim that the effects last for months, which may convince a patient to become a lifetime customer. However, as mentioned, symptoms are more important than study findings. If regular decompression increases your quality of life, then it's worth it. That said, I do believe that their are much more affordable methods which can result in long-term pain reduction and improved function, such as spinal stabilization exercise.
I have been doing essentrics for the last 12 yrs, which feel great and hopefully give space in my spine. But now I have Spondy, so I am wondering if I should be doing these movements which are twisty and extended.
All his videos are like this. Talks about how this can be fixed , but does not actually shows you his techniques/ exercises. He wants you to pay and then you will get the full meal deal
Studies show ligamentous creep maximizes at 18 minutes. The effects of traction will last approximately 2 1/2 hours after treatment Also, you can create long lasting changes through repetition of traction, which is great for changing the lordotic curve of the lumbar and cervical spine.
Does it mean that quality of air can help to decompress ? I got disc bulge second time in 6 months. This time i was in AC through out the days n weeks. I also thought disc bulge happened due to not breathing in natural air
Anytime I tighten my core muscles, even slightly, I get sharp pains in the middle of my hamstrings and sides of knees. I can't stand up straight or walk very far without my hamstrings burning. Idk what to do but it seems like taking pressure off of my lower back gives me some relief temporarily so I'm going to try your suggestions because I give up.
Feels good when i bend over with a pillow underneath my stomach cus i got grade 3 spondolisthesis it feels i like need to crack my back but in reverse going in and out instead of down and in.
I disagree completely with the description of inversion/stretching. Stretching creates a vacuum in the discs, which pulls the bulges in and hence into it's more correct form. By doing this several times a day, you are able to let the disc heal in its natural shape. The disc is like an onion, with many layers, that weaken and break one by one, and when too weak, the outer layers bulge out. With repeated inversions you can reverse this. This is at least working for acute / recent disc bulges. I've done this myself and fixed a bulging disc to symptom free in a few weeks, with only inversion.
how long did you do decompression each day and how many times? And did you do it hanging over a bed or chair or using an inversion table? My son has a bulging disc and he’s been seeing a chiropractor for about 2 weeks and it’s helping but he’s still in pain and if this inversion could help him heal faster I think i’m gonna have him try it.
@quisanparker9212 I did probably at least 4 times a day, for maybe 10-15 minutes. Focus on relaxing and after a few minutes the spinal muscles will "let go", and allow the spine to expand. I made an about 45deg incline plane on a couch, with my lower legs hanging over a ledge as "attachment". But I would advice an inversion table if you can get it, which would also give better stretch. The discs are highly viscous, so they will slowly return over a couple of hours after a decompress. Pain may disappear quickly, but it's important to continue the protocol to prevent just a partial recovery that may be triggered later in life. So I would say at least 1 month, probably 2.
Please do a video on breathing exercises
So what is the breathing technique you recommend? Can you make a video? Ty
Go to the Foundation Training website and you will many videos on decompression breathing.
@@AlexM-vh2pu You mean the website he has linked in his description? Or a different website called Foundation Training?
@@protostar8 Foundation Training website
Please do a video on breathing exercises thank you
Grazie.
Thank you so much for the tip, Ivan! Your generosity and support are much appreciated. 💙
It's possible to use the inversion table on an angle. This promotes release of contracted tight muscles and does not require hanging on ligaments.
Thank you! Sounds like it would help me a lot. I have very weakened core, disc degeneration, stenosis, nerve pain and spondy . Would love to know more about this breathing technique. Can you elaborate for us? 🙏🏼

Sir,
Plese make video for proper breathing technique
Thank you for your help this video has very good and useful information ❤️👍
So how do you do the correct breathing exercises ???
Tia 🤗
Check out the core balance training program and or watch more of Dr peebles vids👍
That was EXCELLENT!

Totally agree with you! Matt the pilates teacher

I would love the stretch of hanging. Thankyou Doc ,✨❤️🔥✨
So what is proper exercises or stretches for Grade 1 L5-S1 anterolisthesis
Good information. Thank you for sharing.

Precisely! It comes naturally once we try it. There’s no right way, it’s each body breathing to a point we can actually feel it. 🥰

How about headstand? Using my own body , hand stand as well. Shall I breath out and hold the breath to stable the core?
I have been doing essentrics for the last 12 yrs, which feel great and hopefully give space in my spine. But now I have Spondy, so I am wondering if I should be doing these movements which are twisty and extended.
He went through a whole video talking about a breathing technique but never showed it!!! Why???!!!!
For $99 a month, he’ll show you
Wow money hungry no here to help us only for pay I have insurance for that@@bobsuruncle8520

How long does someone have to be in the inverse position to be effective? 10 minutes? 30 minutes?

Also, you can create long lasting changes through repetition of traction, which is great for changing the lordotic curve of the lumbar and cervical spine.
Act of Increasing intra abdominal pressure similar to bracing then ?
Yes, very similar! Keep it subtle though... it has to be sustainable over long periods of time.
@@CoreBalanceok great . Thanks for this tip .

Pretty sure it’s about engaging your core vs. tightening so it’s more subtle.
Bulged and dessicated disc at L5-S1,Spondylolysis with grade 1 spondylolisthesis at L5-S1.
For 6 months.... please help me ..

Check out his core balance training program. It's a game changer. I'm 2 months in and wish I'd found it decades ago👍
Inversion tables can be quite dangerous. There are many cases of people hurting themselves further by using them.
Life safer ! 👏 Mat the Lord Bless you Doc🙏🎩🌹
