Thank you for this! I had a physiotherapist list a whole host of things that were "off the table" for me, including lunges. My new physiotherapist is all positive energy like you. She tells me what to watch for so I don't injure myself further, but she's as determined as I am that I do whatever I want!
Back in the 70s my sister had a slipped disc, couldn't move, she figured out that if she strengthened the muscles around the backbone and surrounding areas, she should improve. Well it worked, she got herself strong and never suffered with it again.
@@SK-cs5pk initially stretching, then strength, ended up being able to get stronger and more flexible. Took time, but well worth it. She listened to her body. NO twisting.
Right now I consider myself in rehab to elevate out of the decrepitude I was suffering at age 64. What finally woke me up (and finding you) was literally falling on my face one day trying to pull my pants on and noticing I could hardly get out of bed in the morning. And having no clue how to fix it. Walking wasn't enough. I was in pain while walking! After six months of following your various programs, I can laugh about it now. 😂One of my goals is to be able to do various yoga routines. Not just to stay out of pain, but to enjoy the challenge, interesting movements, and feeling good in my body.
Congrats! I understand the balance needed to simply put on a pair of pants while standing up with no additional support. Balance and stability exercises are now at the top of my list of daily exercises. Stretching and learning just how to get stronger are gifts we cannot ignore.
Just a little feedback from the end of phase 2 of the back pain fix program. Because of other health issues, I have every 2 months some tests in hospital and they do measurments of the muscular mass each time. I started very underweighted with muscle atrophy and pain everywhere, and I had to gain 8kg of muscles to be back in the bottom of the norm. In the end of phase 2 (with a proper diet) I gained 8kg weight, from which 6kg are of muscular mass, which means I'm almost back in the norm. And of course my mobility improved a lot, pain almost disappeared and I feel like a lot of things I missed (like hiking for example) will be soon possible again. I spent a lot in physical therapy last few years and nothing has been that efficient, far from it! So thanks a lot for this program!
just too funny, it's nice to get a laugh as well as good advice... AND you know what I've been thinking about taking some classes in boxing (not me at all!), just because I'm curious about how it works. Strategy # 2 tells me, go for it!
Noticing even just micro improvements 🎉 I signed up for the back pain program and even though it’s been two months? And due to the fact that I have severe weakness and serious health issues I have not been able to do it as consistently as recommended and I am only able to still do phase 1 but it’s very encouraging because just doing that small amount I can already see reduction in my pain and jammed and twisted hip I am very hard on myself and I want it to go fast because I used to be an athlete years ago But I really appreciate your videos because they keep me focused and encouraged to stay the course. Never give up
Hiked 6 miles today and my the area between my bra strap and waist band was in agony. It’s a trouble area since thoracic surgery in 2003. I find cupping helps but I’d love to know how to fix the issue.
I notice as you moved toward the screen, Matt, on your low squat, your knees tended to move towards each other. Is this what you wanted? It may be possible to use the legs with the knees in line with the feet.
that's 100% intentional. I had to improve that over the last 3 years to give me more "creep behind my son" options as well as for surfboard foot placement. They can go wide, narrow, or neutral. VOLITION AT EVERY POSITION.
Is this good for really old people? I have a clogged foremen after a herniated disc & arthritis. A big nerve that services my leg goes thru that foramen, pinching the nerve, causing chronic pain. Also have intermittent pain in right leg. Probably due to arthritis. I know what sore muscles feel like having hiked, walked, etc. until muscles sore when younger. The pain I experience is not sore muscles. I am 80 yo & female.
I’m sure it could have some benefit to you as long as you don’t overwork yourself and do it only to the point just before it starts to cause major pain! There’s more people on TH-cam like Dr. Rowe who can help with this too ( th-cam.com/video/dCPV10ERlhc/w-d-xo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE )
What is the activity that inspires YOU? Drop me a comment!👇
Just discovered pickle ball and I am hooked! Love it!
Boxing! The footwork helps my low back and legs tremendously
Long walking ...

I'm suffering from last 9months which exercise she did?
