Dr Shen,
You have pinpoint the source of my pain.
As you we're explaining the parts of the spine, you were showing me where my pain was coming from.
In Lord Jesus name thank you.
Informative and objective. Thanks.
Dr. Shim you my man !
Can you do a video about playing fotball with disc injuries? Thank you

Question, I'm 62. I do yoga and I squat and deadlift 400lbs without a belt.
I'm thinking about learning to play golf. My yoga has saved my back, basically my life
Is it ok to learn golf, or should I forget it?
Any advice is appreciated 😊
Oh, and no back pain at all now. Yoga👍
Very informative and balanced!! Fantastic!
I love your videos. It would be great if you add a video about massage therapy. Something about myths and facts about massage impact for the body. For example :
1. Is massage really increasing blood circulation through the muscles or only at a superficial level?
2. Is there any chance to make some real changes in tissues like thoracic lumbar fascia, for example by changing the consistency of a connective tissue matrix? (Fascia manipulation - Luigi Stecco method).
3. Trigger points and treatment of those are real? For example, pain going from the buttocks to the leg from the piriformis muscle.
4. Could massage give some real long-term help with chronic pain, by not changing the tissues but changing interpretations of signals from painful areas in the patient's brain?
5. Do you think that massage makes people feel better only temporarily because of giving competitive touching signals from painful areas or there are some real and important changes in the body after massage for people in pain.
Let say, that someone has lower back pain, but there is no reason for surgery so far (There are no red flags, clear MRI etc.). Could it be beneficial to give that patient very gentle manual pelvic oscillations to reduce swelling? (Patient on the back, one hand of therapist under patient's sacrum bone).
I am a massage therapist, but I have a scientific attitude, I am looking for the truth not for finding something good for me. I would love to get a physiological explanation, not information that if it is not harmful and money are not the problem you can try.
I have so many questions but my English is not very good, so I am surprised if you get to this point.
Best regards
Wojtek

I'm only 23 and I have just started getting back pain, coincidentally I have also just started playing Golf. Ain't gonna stop me tho.
Hey doc, would you say golf is a no for me if i have spondylolisthesis?
I’m watching this video for a reason , my back is killing me , hard to breathe
And my wife told me to quit rugby and take up golf due to the herniated disc I sustained from years of contact rugby. I am going back to rugby for good!
I can tell you from experience golf is bad for your back, I only took it up in 2019/20 and I’ve had 2 herniations in a year with only playing for 3 months in that year between injuries, I’ve been stuck on the floor in tears I’ve been into a&e I’ve been out of action for 8 months but I can’t wait to play again 🤪
I'm 26 and a very avid golfer. I have a swing speed of 130+ mph. I work in the the industry and today tweaked my upper back in a fashion I have never experienced. I'm not sure what to do now. I just had my first Profesional lesson last week to change my swing and since that day, I started feeling very tight.
And now I'm laying in bed having troubles finding any comfortable position
@@chef_boi_ar_teej6969 I was scrolling through the comments and was curious to see if you have improved and how your swing is coming along?
@@rehabrenegade5447 since recovery I've been actually much better with my rotations. Opening up a little more on my follow through since I generate so much torque to prevent locking my lead hip/knee etc.. Although my right hip flexor muscles have still been very tight. I have some new stetches to hopefully relieve some of that built up pressure near the groin. (I swing right handed, but am generally left handed in everything else I do). Thanks for the curious reply.
@@rehabrenegade5447 on top of this I suffered a torn labrum/biceps tendon back in 2017 that has left me with chronic tendinitis up the right side of my neck and shoulder blade areas. It's tough dealing with a knot/scar tissue build up for the last 5 years with little to no relief after surgery.
Annnd now with me compensating on the right side with my left. Both of my shoulder pop and both sides of muscles in my neck feel "stretched". I'm 26 and feel broken 😔
This seems like a sport for women, because their spine is different compared to men.
You are picking a fight.....awesome!
@@ShimSpineVideos Biology is not a a matter of opinion. That has indisputable facts no one can argue. However, when ideology blinds people it becomes dangerous. My point was that since so many men are play golf, it almost look like someone invented the game to hurt these people. On purpose. Especially since its mainly middle aged white men which participate. Your evidence support such a claim with all the risks involved for injuries.
Fascinating perspective. But, I am not sure if the science supports your position. The history of golf, like any recreation was for the upper class. They were the only ones to have leisure time, and the funds to participate, or have access. And yes, mostly males for any sport. But, I do not know any specific study about the golf force effects comparing the sexes. I will try to explore this. Thanks for the comment.
@Mr Sixxthsense Men's backs got ruined when we were forced to give up a rib to create woman 😂
@@TheNYgolfer That one was hilarious!:-) Well, the bible is just a fairytale written by the freemason mafia gang and their trans leaders
