Your spine is your lifeline! But if you struggle with back pain it can be hard to know what exercises help or hurt you. Not to fear, as your certified health and fitness coach I got your back (pun intended). In this video we welcome special expert guest Sam Bell of Sam Bell Pilates onto the channel to share with us her go-to back mobility routine for a healthy spine. Sam has personally overcome a life changing back injury (triple disc compression and spinal fracture) and used this specific routine to heal well and return to living a fully functioning lifestyle. She now shares her passion for back health through her work teaching and coaching pilates and movement. Im so thankful that Sam and I are friends because when I recently hurt my back I knew exactly who to call. Through Sam's expertise and this video routine I was able to feel better from a serious injury in record time. We share it with you in hopes that if you are struggling to recover from a back injury or keep your back in a healthy state to function properly, it enables you to achieve pain relief and get back into life! COMMENT below and tell us if this helps you!! And please share + like if it does!
You know what I love about your videos? There is always a good descriptive way on how we should do them as we do the movements. Most people show but don't tell us exactly what we should be activating or not activating. So we don't know if we are doing it correctly.
Oh, my goodness. I have been struggling with my back. Tears of dance where I never knew about tight hip flexors or quads. So much ab work, but no counter exercises. When I had to quit because of my back, I gained weight. My neurosurgeon just recommended fusion 😢 and I said that’s a last resort. I’ve diligently been doing your workouts, Caroline. In fact, I was hospitalized a couple weeks ago and the physical therapist recommended PT - I said I can do this myself, with TH-cam’s help. Today I did your sciatica help workout and then this. My back feels better than it has in YEARS. I am not exaggerating. Thank you both from the very bottom of my heart.
I have struggled with a hip since having my son in 2011. I have seen doctors, physics, gurus, you name it! THIS WORKOUT is changing my life. And the 90/90 is my new go-to!
Amazing! I’ve been taught so many “back stretches” but never how working the core, hips, etc. could make such a difference! Thank you Sam and Caroline!
The CJ Sam Bell Duo - I love working out and stretching with you both. Thanks Sam for your insights into back pain, that routine was a full spinal stretch and relax. 🙏🏻❤️
Absolutely BRILLIANT routine…I was doing a lot of these exercises already but your illustration, demonstration and instruction are amazing…thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for the inspiring content @CarolineJordan and @SamBellPilates I have done this routine about 6 times in the last couple of weeks. It helps relieve pain. Moving forward, I plan on incorporating it daily to hopefully expedite my recovery. I endured a herniated disc and disc bulge in October 2022 and it has been a long road of slow healing. I have high hopes that I will eventually regain my fully mobility and be able to do things that I used to love before this injury. Regardless, I know that doing movements like this regularly and longterm are paramount to prevent future injury so this is going to become a staple in my life. Question-Do you recommend doing the routine exactly as follows, or would it be beneficial to spend more time on each movement before changing positions? Thank you so much again. I will continue to follow you both for your life saving motivation and advice.
Hi Sam 😊 When doing the Child’s pose, how wide apart are your legs? I noticed Caroline’s were a bit wider but couldn’t tell how yours were since you’re wearing black it was difficult to tell

Sam this was great. One small suggestion, please consider tying your hair out of the way so we can see your neck position. We can see Caroline’s.
Thanks for the tip!💙
Delicious! Thank you!
My pleasure 😊
I notice that my back feels lighter and lifted after doing these exercises - maybe those cat-cows pulling the bellybutton in?👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I cannot stand that smacking sound 🙈
