How I Decompressed my Spine from Pain: 3 Ways that were helpful
1 month ago I suffered from acute lower back pain and I couldn't do anything except for walk for half a week. I've been enjoying a lot of arching and bridging recently in acrobatics, and unfortunately have been pushing too much with the volume, where I suffered a spinal compression injury. After the initial pain subsided, I got to work, figuring out how to help with the healing process. These are 3 movements which have been invaluable to helping create space in the lumber region and decompress my lower back.
02:06 1. Flexion Slump - creating space with intentional positioning and the breath
10:48 2. Passive Hang - modified hang to emphasise lumbar traction
20:16 3. Bartz Back Curl - loaded tractioning of the back (credit to @josephbartztraining )
I will document more of how I'm approaching my rehab process in a longer video in the future.
I reference my earlier video during the flexion slump - ua-cam.com/video/-pBPXZsUupU/v-deo.html
This video goes in great detail on how to differentiate between tilting the pelvis, and developing spinal control to push different segments of the spine back in the sagittal plane.
If you are suffering from lower back pain, experiment with these ideas using curiosity, but remember to be careful and cautious. Just because it worked for me, doesn't mean it will work for you. We are all different.

Single Arm Ring Row: Technical Setup and Progressions
Переглядів 1,4 тис.11 місяців тому
The Single Arm Ring Row is a fantastic organic strength development tool. Organic strength means that it challenges you to organise your body structure into a form to make it easier, more efficient. This is different to linear strength, which focuses on form and inefficiency - the more strict the form, the harder it gets. Working on the Single Arm Ring Row not only develops strength but pulling...
Basic Neck Movements - Tilts, Rotations, Oscillations, Circles, Waves
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Рік тому
Stiff Neck? The neck is a part of the spine which actually has one of the most degrees of freedom. If we notice how we can use it - it can tilt, rotate, circle, and even start a wave! Unfortunately, for many of us, we only ever look in front of us or down to our phones, maybe sometimes over our shoulder to check whilst driving. But the head was designed to give us amazing angles of freedom so w...
Cobra Stretch on Rings - Progressions and Technical Setup
Переглядів 2,1 тис.Рік тому
The Cobra Stretch using the rings is one of the top tools to develop spinal extension, lateral flexion and overhead shoulder mobility. It can be scaled to a very beginner level to very advanced, and modified in many ways with the use of an overhead ring. The variations shown, in ascending order of difficulty: 1. 01:50 Front Cobra Stretch 2. 05:30 Side Lying Cobra Stretch 3. 09:00 Side to Front ...
Basic Squat Movements from the Floor (Follow-Along Session)
Переглядів 2 тис.Рік тому
The squat is not just a resting position or something we only perform with a barbell. It can be a transition between standing, to other floor based positions such as kneeling, sitting, the fisherman stance, and many others. Each of these positions can be also used for resting. Very useful, when you might not have a chair! In this follow along session, I show 3 basic squat movements you can use ...
Unlock the Spine and IT Band: Rotational Stretches and Movements
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
Tried all the stretches, up, back, along the side and still seem to be locked up? Maybe rotation is the key! Often people talk about thoracic rotation, but in this video I demonstrate ways of opening up the entire structure in rotation. I present three movements to explore: 1. Wrestlers Stretch - a unique stretch which creates a rotational coiling up the foot, side of the leg and outer hips. Gr...
Teacup Figure-8 Arm Variations

Basic Spine Circles: Free the Neck, Ribs and Pelvis

Move your spine! But how? Where do I start? For many, learning to articulate and move the spine opens a whole new world of sensations and possibility. The famous "spinal wave" can be a starting point, but here I propose an alternate set of movements. These are: 1. Pelvis Circle 2. Rib Circle 3. Head Circle I choose these as they are easily approachable, but infinitely deep. As your spine awaren...

The Lateral Line of the body is an untapped potential of movement opportunity. Using the sides of the body is unfamiliar, as compared to bending over, bridging, or rotating.

Arm Emptying Basics - Body Softening Practices
Переглядів 2,6 тис.Рік тому
"Emptying" is to "let go". Arm Emptying, practises the ability to allow force to transmit freely through the structure out into the arms. It is a type of "looseness" practice, an opposite quality to tension generating patterns such as handbalancing and gymnastics strength. What you love can eventually turn on you, and this is certainly the case for a lot of strength/tension based patterns as wh...

    Thank you. I have been doing a lot of Tapp Brothers follow along videos and have recently been doing the Primal Movement 101 program. QM crawl and crab walk is part of it plus there is transitioning between both. On Nov. 25th, I worked on this video but didn't do the integration. This evening, I did the integration and loved the flow of it. Not easy but I was able to get in a little rhythm. This is my off day lol. I like your instructions..
