Make sure to share your experiences with lower back pain. Let us know what worked for you, what didn’t, and give some advice that could help someone that might be going through the same thing you are. We'd like to hear from you!
I’m a dentist. We all sit and lean over. Lower back pain is the number one reason dentists retire. I Kesey over like every dentist ab my back doesn’t hurt. I don’t know why it doesn’t hurst. I’m happy it doesn’t hurt. With the coming of covid, I didn’t work for a year. I’m in my 36th year of working. I’m near sighted. Every dentist is near sighted. Last week, I woke up, with back pain , on my lower left side. I’m not over weight. I’ve never been over weight. I woke up with the pain. I didn’t lift anything heavy. I took Mortin, and the didn’t help me enough. When I had goute, Motrin was a godsend. Noe it does nothing. I’m a week into this pain. I’m gonna try to fix myself, doing what the video says. We f I don’t see any improvement, then I’ll be forced to see a chiropractor or a physical therapist
For me, I injured my lower back using poor form, to recover I did a ton of research online that I'll share here that worked for me. First I looked up videos on stretches, proper sleeping techniques (I own a body pillow so I slept on my side with that between my legs). I drank protein shakes and I ate a good amount of anti inflammatory foods that you're able to go online and find a list for those. I started off using ice packs, avoiding sitting down for more than 20 minutes and a few days later I switch to using both a hot bath / Ice pack. I also was walking circles in my house with the TV on for entertainment or a book on tape to stay mobile rather than laying down all day. I drank plenty of liquids to stay hydrated, mainly water. I also took ibuprofen to reduce the pain and to help me sleep I took melatonin. There is also a large list of oils online I found that I used to help my back heal quicker and take away some pain. So this is what I did, first day I was bed bound, today is day 4 and I'm already back at my computer, taking a shower and cooking my dinner. I'm not a doctor so I would always recommend to do your own research based on what I did. I hope everybody who knows somebody or who is injured will heal as quickly as possible, take care and have a wonderful day / life.
You are an angel my friend!!! Was in so much discomfort from using bad form during deadlifts. That first stretch caused a series of light pops in my lower back and when I stood up I felt much better! Thanks for everything doc. 😄
Thanks for the video! I went to pick up a shuttle from playing badminton and when I stood back up, I could barely walk! Physio told me to go to the hospital, they told me if it was nerve I'd have relieved myself, and slipped disc doesn't usually occur from such activity. I was told 2-6 weeks recovery. After being sent home, I found stretching was incredible. Lunges the easiest as I couldn't get on the floor. I also ate high protein and made sure I got up to slowly walk around the house at least every hour. I iced it after the first day as I didn't know on the day. I then switched to heat as this guy explains. I recovered to a functional amount after three days, but mainly walking. By one week I was driving again and find it a bit easier to get about bending my knees to get low. Just under two weeks I felt fine, and had my first cross trainer gym session and it was great. I'm now 2.5 weeks and I'm virtually fine. I have a dull ache in my lower back, but that's it. I hope this helped someone and have them hope I didn't have. Ask me any questions and hopefully I'll see them and reply. Thanks to this guy 🙏. Keep safe all.
how are you know, how much time it takes to be normal like before, 4 days ago I did a deadlift and after 2 hours i feel pain in lower left back while walking standing and even coughing and sneezing but today pain is less and not in lower back but in centre i can feel it only while walking but while walking i feel my lower back very week that i have to walk slowly
@@Zthbz7rr I'm absolutely fine now. Though I do a lot of cycling and I did have a fragile back when getting back in to that. It took about 2 months of cycling to get my muscles back to a strength where I could cycle London to Brighton. But I've moved house since then lifting loads of boxes. One thing I always do now is bend my knees haha.
Bruh sterday i got a immediate stiffness at centre of my lower hip ...but a day later it just changed as a mild pain to the left and right of the lower back....is it a injury ?.....by the way thats the frst time i have done deadlift was just 40kgs and im a beginner ....no problem to walk or twist just a mild pain when bending
I’ve had back problems for the past 8yrs and have seen doctors and two chiropractors and two physical therapists and you are the only one who has more detailed information on this than any of them. I am going to start doing this today and I’ll get back to to you on how it works for me. Thank you for this video.
To anyone complaining about "buying a product instead of getting step by step...." um... you clearly didn't even watch this video because it's GOLD!!!! And she's not selling anything??? Anyway, thank you, Alexandra, for breaking down how to get started in the world of writing. You covered every inch and corner of this business. I feel much less intimidated to start now that I have such a better understanding of the fundamentals of this field. This video was clear and full of great high-quality content! I took notes to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks again!!
After traction at the chiropractor, I felt great, and went to the gym. Two days later, I couldn't move, with debilitating pain. A pulled muscle is worse than a minor strain. Cold packs daily and alternating heat therapy has helped. Im 6 days in, starting to get better. I've alternated limonent and arnica gel. Some walking, but very limited first few days.
Had a failed jump on the bike trails roughly 3 weeks ago. Bike was still between my legs lifted while scratching chest first. Pain was relieved the past few days, but brought back again when i rode without warmup. Thanks for ur vid! Hope it can lessen the pain
I fell asleep sitting up by accident on the back porch furniture. After that my lower back has been killing me and I assume the muscles got stretched in an awkward position. These stretches feels very good and I feel like they loosen up the stiff muscles. Will continue for sure, thank you for sharing!
@@DrRowe It took about a week or so to heal completely. The stretches gives good relief, and in addition I also used a tennis ball put directly on the injured muscle and rolled it up and down over the muscle while leaning into it up against a wall. So the ball is between your back and the wall and it gives instant relief while putting pressure on the muscle directly. Thank you for your help!
Tweaked my back at work over a month ago and it healed up after a few days by itself then I injured it again a few weeks later, then a few weeks later playing basketball and a few weeks later just last night playing with my dog and it’s the worse it’s ever been. Hard to walk and the slightest movement in the wrong way can hurt pretty bad. After I heal up I’m definitely going to start stretching again and working out.
Old L5/S1 here. Too many overtime hours has aggravated it again. I should've paid attention as getting up from a squatted position had gotten more and more difficult, but I ignored the warning signs. Then I hit a nerve doing housework -- that was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. After two days decompression + exercises (without twisting), I feel like I'm on the right track. Just to try them out, I did the stretching exercises for the mid-back from another of your vids, and that helped too! As a caregiver, I work over beds and my mid-back was pulling in ways I didn't notice. I feel looser now. I've had back trouble off and on and I just kind of live with it. I've never recovered so fast before. The decompression ones are AMAZING. Ready to incorporate these exercises into my life. Back strengthening is next, after I recover. Thank you SpineCare! I'll be making a donation. I've watched the equivalent of about 10 sessions! :)
Given the complexity of lower back pain, this clip was: very comprehensive, combining theory and exercises. In short, it's a summary of the most relevant facts and remedies. Thank you for this
I did goblet squats with a light dumbbell right after waking up in the morning and boom...my lower back went into a spasm. Now significant pain when changing positions i.e. standing to sitting and sitting to standing.
I was taking aleve for pain for 4 days. Thankfully, I came to Dr. Rowe for advice and exercises. That night, I slept with my legs elevated upon a bolster with no pain. The following morning, I was able to do many repetitions of the exercises. longer needing painkillers. That is improvement overnight!
I was picking up my grandson and after I knelt down I felt a really sharp pain in my lower back.. holy mother of Moses! It’s been 2 days and I’m still walking like a grandma..oh wait, I am a grandma.
Have had back pain for a long time off and on in my lower back, almost even about at my tail bone. After i hurt it, i can hardly lean forward or bend down to pick something up without actually going down on a knee. Sometimes hamstring stretches, butt stretches, and curling up into a ball type of stretch help me out
@@snowfreak551 all the stretches that you see online. Acupressure on the hands and feet helped which led me to understand I have no structural damage. I am now reading Healing Back Pain The Mind Body Connection. It is very good and I believe it holds the key to my problems. The book is in pdf free online.
Tried the exercise, I’m surprised I was able to do most of them. Injured my lower back after picking up a heavy dumbbell with bad form. It’s been 2 weeks and I hope by the end of this one I’m able to walk normal.
@@psychobillynumbnuts1 Wishing you a speedy recovery. It took me a month to finally walk normal and another month for my back to gain back its strength. Hopefully you get better sooner than that, hang in there!
man i injured mine from deadlifting, going for 160x3, the first 2 were absolutely easy! the third one however suddenly when i was lifting, heard a crack while lifting
Thanks! Back's been hurting for about a week so I've just been pushing through the pain to do things I need to. But after some of these stretches and advice with the heat & ice, I am pain free for a little while I tackle some chores. Plus, I don't feel guilty for being active and like I'm "resting" while laying around. I didn't realize I had it backwards. Thanks again
I'm here because of deadlifts, which makes me angry at myself because I've never trusted deadlifts. For many years I found other ways to workout those muscles. Deadlifts have always looked like an injury waiting to happen. I finally decided to give them a try.....Well here I am now! Never again.
I experienced a lower back injury because I deadlifted heavy without properly warning up, I can testify with my recent experience that all the information given through this video are accurately TRUE, I followed what he was saying about recovering like the way you should and shouldn’t sleep and stretching etc I recovered (not fully ) within about 2 weeks. Thanks god, the first two days of being injured I couldn’t even walk or have a damp as you feel the lower back hurting when pushing the feces out, and thought I’d never walk again properly in the future. Thanks for the information very appreciative.
@@elle3368 thank you for asking Elle, I’m doing fine now, I’m more cautious though when I workout especially when lifting things that involve legs or lower back, people have to focus on working out the muscle when exercising not at the articulations and this is what they call mind muscle connection.
@@harish5466 It took me around two weeks to be able to do number two without feeling the pain and about six weeks to recover and able to be back at work,it was a hard blow because I heard the sound of the crack in one of the spine bones and thought it would never be healed fully, but it did , thanks god. I was 39 then so don’t worry it’ll heal.
@@wdbuilder7788 thank you very much brother for reply...it increases my hope. If you have performed any excercises or stretches please tell me Thanks again 🙏
I’m here to find help relief from the pain. I was hit by a car backing out of her driveway 3 weeks ago. I landed pretty hard on my back and I felt an instant pain. After my trip to the ER every test came back good, no broken bones. Still having pain and discomfort, can’t sleep in my bed most nights, recliner is the only thing that helps. Getting an MRI done next week. I am walking to help keep the circulation going.
Shoveled a ton of snow, a little tightness but didn’t really notice. The following day had my first gym session in three months (they were closed due to COVID). Worked back. Now I am here. :(
Wow, just after doing the first kneeling stretch I don't walk in a hunched over fasion! Thanks! Hurt my lower back dancing when picking up my dance partner and spinning. Pro tip: Don't lift with your back, especially a heavy object like a person.
That last stretch it says to pull knee toward chest, but it looked like you were pushing knees away from chest. Just verifying which is the accurate way?
deadlifted after squat, then heard a pop while doing the second set and now I am feeling a little bit lower back pain, I will do these stretches and hopefully, I will be back to normal soon. Thanks
Been lifting for 5 years and the deadlift finally got me today. Idk what happened I think I lost my brace on the way down with 315lb and now I can’t bend down 😭 Update: I think it was just a lower back strain. My lower back feels better after 2 weeks
Please continue placing text instructions at the bottom of the steps specially in every video please. I take photos of your steps and print a guide to follow even without my phone...great help thank u
I was literally laying on the couch and got my ass up when you said that’s the worst that you can do! 😭😭 i’m 53 and I was trimming my pine tree and I bent down to pick up the end and I felt like I strained my back muscle. It sucks getting old! I’m icing now!! Thank you
@@Lambdamale. damn sorry to hear that man I actually wont ever go that heavy anymore I had to take a whole week of vacation off from that because my job is labor intensive so I fucked myself for the summer it's not worth it anymore. Good luck on the recovery I did alot of epsom salt baths seemed to help alot
Last year at the end of May, I tried deadlifting 100 lbs after 2 years of no workouts. I did fine until the very last set of 15, and somehow that strained my lower back, just before my shift at work. It took about 2 weeks to get back to normal, and I did great for over a year. Fast forward to July 8, 2021, I was at the park niece and nephew, and somehow strained the exact same spot when I was pushing them on the swings. 😑
I just recently injured my back in a sledding accident so I’m hoping this helps because when I lay down for too long and twist around I am in a lot of pain
Dude i got in a sledding accident bout 5-6months ago and my back doesn’t feel any different been going months with this pain every single day and im now scared im going to be a grandpa for the rest of my life
Thank you thank you thank you.. Sooo much sir! Thanks for this amazing video my back pain because of deadlift is just disappeared like there was no pain at all.. It was like miracle for me... Ur tips are just damn amazing and useful and effective... I applied.. -Cold massage - exercise - stretch These three things I followed.. And with in 2 day my pain is gone completely gone..
I’m going to be 100 percent honest with you here boss… yesterday everything I knew about lifting with my legs and not my back went completely out the window 😂😂😂
Just strained my lower back in Jiu Jitsu class. Looking forward to trying these out. Would it be a good idea to try stretching before 48hrs if possible? Thanks!
OMG I can never say thank you enough for your videos. Thank you so very much. I hurt my back really bad yesterday, and after watching two of your videos I feel so much better. Again, thank you.
Been experiencing numbness in my limbs with quick movements. couldn't figure it out or afford a doctor. The stretches didn't help... until i realized by trying them, that my lower back wasn't even touching the the floor. after laying flat on the floor, and focusing on my breathing, I felt my back finally relax, and slowly drop to the floor. All of the issues seemed to go away at that point. Going to make that a daily routine.
Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot and I am sure it helped many others who might not have access to this level of healthcare. Thank you and God bless you
Squatted in front of 2 cute girls at my gym. Akwardly stopped at 1 when something in my lower back pulled. Continued to struggle with picking my stuff off the ground for the next few minutes
Thank you so much for such helpful information. I totally sprained my lower back and I am in so much pain. I tried your tips about putting an ice pack on the area with pain and it actually helps a lot! Also putting a pillow under the legs to sleep feels good as well. Thanks again 🙏
I’m finished with conventional deadlifts. After years of contorting myself into textbook form, “rebuilding” my deadlift, and using pathetically low weights to practice form, I’m just finished. Hurt my back one too many times for it to be worth it. This video helped with healing though.
@@thegreatguy3829 I’m here from using the trap bar but that’s because I wasn’t used to the weight and my form broke. If I made the same mistake with the barbell it’d probably be a lot worse
All right here I am, my back is killing me especially first thing in the morning! I injured it lifting my elderly dog she's losing function in her hips, and falls over a lot so I have to pick her up, and get her moving again but apparently I must have Twisted the wrong way and needless to say I'm in a lot of pain! So I'm going to give these exercises a try and I will let you know how it goes! Thank you for this video, and thank you for all you do! Stay safe, and stay healthy! Sherry Cordaro from Tucson, Arizona!
@@Tendomcgoobin pretty good thanks, iced it for the first 3 days then heating pad for a few days. Surfed about a week after and it was very sore. 3 weeks later finally did legs again at the gym. Single leg work no squats yet. Scared.
Same thing as you. I was light squatting and i heard a pop in my lower back. It's taking too long for me to recover... 2 weeks and it still hurts. I'm glad that you are fine, lucky you😢
Was doing a strenuous activity consisting of lifting heavy objects over a certain slotted period of time. literally threw my lower back out. Now I’m really feeling how important my back is. Even just sitting on the toilet hurts.
One question. How long does it take for a lower back injury to completely heal? I injured my lower back while doing deadlifts five months ago which took a week to heal, and while I’m mostly fine now, I feel slight pain while doing heavy reps of squats at the gym as if it is putting pressure on that spot.
@@jeffrobdine I did, and as he mentioned, the pain went away within a week and I was able to walk normally without pain. But again, even after five months, I feel irrigation in that spot while squatting. So I am wondering how long it'll take for that irritation to go away completely.
@@sublime9525 it’s different for everyone. Usually low back pain is caused by very tight muscles. Do these stretches everyday as many times as you can and in a week you should notice a difference in the irritation you’re feeling
Everyone is different I injured my lower back lumbar and my buttocks, this happened last october and while it's a little better I've only gotten slight improvements from treatments I've received soI'm going to see a kinesiologist and I'll have a program designed to me to help me heal. I've been told by my doctor that back Injuries take a while sometimes and depending on the severeity of it to heal and the best thing to do, is keep being active and doing stretches and excercises.
@@123Naomii Ahhh, hope you recover completely soon. I think it took me around 8 months to not feel any irritation on my lower back while doing heavier sets. I think core workout also helped a lot.
Just letting you know, chiropractors are very under appreciated in the medical industry! Just because you're not cutting ppl open or working in internal medicine doesn't make u any less valuable as a physician. Thank you so much for your knowledge and the work you do for everyday pain that millions of us ppl must endure! 🙏🏾🕊️
I had a very bad sickness for a few days so after laying in bed, my back was sore. Then I had the bright idea to go to the gym to strengthen it. Smith machine RDLs combined with back extension caused me to overextend my back and I didn’t Do what was necessary to heal properly. A few months later, and I am just trying to do what I can to not make this a lifelong problem. I truly never thought this would be me. I am planning on going to the chiropractor physical therapy. Didn’t really help too much.
Hi, thanks for your support! I was sitting on the end of a low couch that had a covered board underneath. I got my socks on and twisted down to the left to get my shoes. I set my right leg out to brace myself and my leg slipped on the shinny tile floor. In an instant my body flew to the left and hit on the board underneath. OOUCH! It has been more than week now and still hurts . I can wan but sneezing or moving in some positions I still get a very sharp pain in my left side of my butt! It is not sore on the outside, the sharp pain comes from deep. Feels like a strained muscle. What is the best thing to do and not do.? Thanks again for being there!
Thank you so much for your videos! I fell on my stairs last Monday and have been suffering. I have three kids (a 5 and 3 year old and a 7 month old that I am nursing). Thanks to discovering your videos a couple of days ago, I am finally seeing some improvement. Your videos also helped me realize that I received some poor advice from the ER nurse to stop ice after 24 hours "because it decreases the blood flow to the area." So, I have been alternating heat and ice and it is slowly improving. My biggest issue is that I am unable to lay down because it is too painful to sit back up. I am having to sleep sitting up so that I can feed my baby in the night and then be able to get out of bed in the morning but the pain is still bad then. Any advice on how to sleep if sitting up is too painful? Again, thank you!
I usually squat 405+ very easily. Three days ago I was squatting 155LBS which is super light for me. on my third set my back blew out. INTENSE PAIN for three days and I’m still in bed 😪
Tell me about it I squatted easy weight 5 reps in and I can’t get back up haha now I can’t move and never wanted to get out of my bed so badly I’m tired of not being able to move and it’s only been a couple hours 😒
Me to I just injured my lower back dead lifting 200 pounds can barely get up out the bed I’m a workout addict I love it now I have to heal smh I’ll start off light when I get back on my feet.

Tweaked my back at work over a month ago and it healed up after a few days by itself then I injured it again a few weeks later, then a few weeks later playing basketball and a few weeks later just last night playing with my dog and it’s the worse it’s ever been. Hard to walk and the slightest movement in the wrong way can hurt pretty bad. After I heal up I’m definitely going to start stretching again and working out.
Same 😢 trying to figure out how to get better faster since I'm always my messing it up
Old L5/S1 here. Too many overtime hours has aggravated it again. I should've paid attention as getting up from a squatted position had gotten more and more difficult, but I ignored the warning signs. Then I hit a nerve doing housework -- that was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. After two days decompression + exercises (without twisting), I feel like I'm on the right track. Just to try them out, I did the stretching exercises for the mid-back from another of your vids, and that helped too! As a caregiver, I work over beds and my mid-back was pulling in ways I didn't notice. I feel looser now. I've had back trouble off and on and I just kind of live with it. I've never recovered so fast before. The decompression ones are AMAZING. Ready to incorporate these exercises into my life. Back strengthening is next, after I recover. Thank you SpineCare! I'll be making a donation. I've watched the equivalent of about 10 sessions! :)
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!
Given the complexity of lower back pain, this clip was: very comprehensive, combining theory and exercises. In short, it's a summary of the most relevant facts and remedies. Thank you for this
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
I did goblet squats with a light dumbbell right after waking up in the morning and boom...my lower back went into a spasm. Now significant pain when changing positions i.e. standing to sitting and sitting to standing.
@@estrella7072 Hope your pain isn’t bad and you don’t get numbness and tingling in the feet! Speedy recovery!
I was taking aleve for pain for 4 days. Thankfully, I came to Dr. Rowe for advice and exercises. That night, I slept with my legs elevated upon a bolster with no pain. The following morning, I was able to do many repetitions of the exercises. longer needing painkillers. That is improvement overnight!
Tried to work-out and now I’m walking like a penguin 🐧 😭
Hope the exercises help!
I hurt my lower back doing some damn pilaties. 🤦🏽♀️😄
Same! And I'm so out of shape!
I did a senior exercise video, and here I am. Now, I'm moving and reinjured it
same I was doing reverse crunches
Thinking I could deadlift for the first time after watching 10 seconds of a 15min video got me here
Thank you! Your tips are amazing 🙌 I tried foamrolling my back 3-4 after the injury and that worked wonders if it helps someone else👌
Yes... do light activity... it alone helps a lot along side self message & light stretching
I was picking up my grandson and after I knelt down I felt a really sharp pain in my lower back.. holy mother of Moses! It’s been 2 days and I’m still walking like a grandma..oh wait, I am a grandma.
low rep heavy lifting is probably the cause of my back pain, gonna focus on higher reps and putting on muscle for now
More core stability exercises. Anti movement exercises like Pallof Press, high intensity planks, etc.
I just fudged up my back with heavy squats.....dammit it hurts lll
Real good info here, I was just running and suddenly a lower back muscle had enough and gave up on everything
Thanks for watching!
This happened to me too!! Did your back heal quickly?
These stretches really loosened my lower back and felt some pops and relief, thank you sir. 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to hear the exercises are helping you. Thanks so much for watching!
Nun of these stretches even worked
Carrying my squad on WarZone got me here! 😅
Ha, hope the exercises helped!
😂
Ufff that calls for chiropractor check 😅
@@luzmartinez7461
I visited Chiropractor 5 times, didn’t work for me 😩
Hahaha
Doing heavy rows without belt now I’m here😂
Exactly bro😂😂
Hell yeah hahahahah
i had a belt on, and i still pulled it
A belt? Is that what the kids are calling core muscles these days?
@@BeGrizzlyStrong well ig ur rock hard core didn’t work too well or else u wouldn’t be here
Have had back pain for a long time off and on in my lower back, almost even about at my tail bone. After i hurt it, i can hardly lean forward or bend down to pick something up without actually going down on a knee. Sometimes hamstring stretches, butt stretches, and curling up into a ball type of stretch help me out
Exact same here
I'm the same!
@@TheFullSalesCycle what do you do to stop ur back from getting hurt?
@@snowfreak551 all the stretches that you see online. Acupressure on the hands and feet helped which led me to understand I have no structural damage. I am now reading Healing Back Pain The Mind Body Connection. It is very good and I believe it holds the key to my problems. The book is in pdf free online.
@@TheFullSalesCycle thanks!
After searching a bunch of videos this one actually captures my attention and helps my capability
Tried the exercise, I’m surprised I was able to do most of them. Injured my lower back after picking up a heavy dumbbell with bad form. It’s been 2 weeks and I hope by the end of this one I’m able to walk normal.
Same. I want to get back to the gym asap
@@psychobillynumbnuts1 Wishing you a speedy recovery. It took me a month to finally walk normal and another month for my back to gain back its strength. Hopefully you get better sooner than that, hang in there!
man i injured mine from deadlifting, going for 160x3, the first 2 were absolutely easy! the third one however suddenly when i was lifting, heard a crack while lifting
@@kyleneasham1097how are u now?
Sameeee y'all I thought I was alone
Thanks! Back's been hurting for about a week so I've just been pushing through the pain to do things I need to. But after some of these stretches and advice with the heat & ice, I am pain free for a little while I tackle some chores. Plus, I don't feel guilty for being active and like I'm "resting" while laying around. I didn't realize I had it backwards. Thanks again
I'm here because of deadlifts, which makes me angry at myself because I've never trusted deadlifts. For many years I found other ways to workout those muscles. Deadlifts have always looked like an injury waiting to happen. I finally decided to give them a try.....Well here I am now! Never again.
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
I experienced a lower back injury because I deadlifted heavy without properly warning up, I can testify with my recent experience that all the information given through this video are accurately TRUE, I followed what he was saying about recovering like the way you should and shouldn’t sleep and stretching etc I recovered (not fully ) within about 2 weeks. Thanks god, the first two days of being injured I couldn’t even walk or have a damp as you feel the lower back hurting when pushing the feces out, and thought I’d never walk again properly in the future.
Thanks for the information very appreciative.
How are you now?
@@elle3368 thank you for asking Elle, I’m doing fine now, I’m more cautious though when I workout especially when lifting things that involve legs or lower back, people have to focus on working out the muscle when exercising not at the articulations and this is what they call mind muscle connection.
Hii bro have you healed? How long it took for you to completely heal? Please reply
@@harish5466
It took me around two weeks to be able to do number two without feeling the pain and about six weeks to recover and able to be back at work,it was a hard blow because I heard the sound of the crack in one of the spine bones and thought it would never be healed fully, but it did , thanks god.
I was 39 then so don’t worry it’ll heal.
@@wdbuilder7788 thank you very much brother for reply...it increases my hope. If you have performed any excercises or stretches please tell me
Thanks again 🙏
Thanks for educating the community and appreciate your volunteering and thanks to your team

I’m here to find help relief from the pain. I was hit by a car backing out of her driveway 3 weeks ago.
I landed pretty hard on my back and I felt an instant pain.
After my trip to the ER every test came back good, no broken bones.
Still having pain and discomfort, can’t sleep in my bed most nights, recliner is the only thing that helps.
Getting an MRI done next week.
I am walking to help keep the circulation going.
Keep us updated. Hurt my back on a static row machine pulling just a 100lbs. Have not worked out in years and I jumped in the deep end.
Shoveled a ton of snow, a little tightness but didn’t really notice. The following day had my first gym session in three months (they were closed due to COVID). Worked back. Now I am here. :(
Hope these exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
@@DrRowe honestly one day later after your techniques and it’s already way better.
@@DrRowe it’s all better now thank you!! 100000%

Wow, just after doing the first kneeling stretch I don't walk in a hunched over fasion! Thanks! Hurt my lower back dancing when picking up my dance partner and spinning. Pro tip: Don't lift with your back, especially a heavy object like a person.
Thanks for watching!
Went from laying in bed to deadlifting too quickly without warning up. Now have an ice pack on my back. Thanks for your help!
Hope the video helps you!
how are you know, how much time it takes to be norma

Closing the microwave with my foot and falling has me here.....
As long as you didn't drop the food...

You're amazing. Just did those stretches and i feel much better already, thank you
Wonderful to hear you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
accidently lifted heavy cargo with my back, i knew better but now paying for it. constant problem now, thanks for the tips
That last stretch it says to pull knee toward chest, but it looked like you were pushing knees away from chest. Just verifying which is the accurate way?
deadlifted after squat, then heard a pop while doing the second set and now I am feeling a little bit lower back pain, I will do these stretches and hopefully, I will be back to normal soon. Thanks
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
Currently in this situation, mine happened yesterday and I'm feeling an excruciating pain in my lower back
It was just a minor injury so I took a few days off and the pain was gone.

@@Lambdamale. damn sorry to hear that man I actually wont ever go that heavy anymore I had to take a whole week of vacation off from that because my job is labor intensive so I fucked myself for the summer it's not worth it anymore. Good luck on the recovery I did alot of epsom salt baths seemed to help alot
Last year at the end of May, I tried deadlifting 100 lbs after 2 years of no workouts. I did fine until the very last set of 15, and somehow that strained my lower back, just before my shift at work. It took about 2 weeks to get back to normal, and I did great for over a year. Fast forward to July 8, 2021, I was at the park niece and nephew, and somehow strained the exact same spot when I was pushing them on the swings. 😑
@@cyberfiber5914 i have the same reoccurring issue. I think I never healed fully from a previous injury a couple years ago.
Thank you so much I slip yesterday and my back started to feel pain. I have a badminton tryout on Monday so thank you for this stretches

Been experiencing numbness in my limbs with quick movements. couldn't figure it out or afford a doctor. The stretches didn't help... until i realized by trying them, that my lower back wasn't even touching the the floor. after laying flat on the floor, and focusing on my breathing, I felt my back finally relax, and slowly drop to the floor. All of the issues seemed to go away at that point. Going to make that a daily routine.
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
Thank you brother. You saved my back. Love it

I’m finished with conventional deadlifts. After years of contorting myself into textbook form, “rebuilding” my deadlift, and using pathetically low weights to practice form, I’m just finished. Hurt my back one too many times for it to be worth it. This video helped with healing though.
I can totally relate. Can you do trap bar Deadlifts? They are good for preventing lower back pain
@@thegreatguy3829 I’m here from using the trap bar but that’s because I wasn’t used to the weight and my form broke. If I made the same mistake with the barbell it’d probably be a lot worse

How did it go?
Doing light weight squats without belt and felt a small pop and had to stop. Now im icing my back.
How are you healing up
@@Tendomcgoobin pretty good thanks, iced it for the first 3 days then heating pad for a few days. Surfed about a week after and it was very sore. 3 weeks later finally did legs again at the gym. Single leg work no squats yet. Scared.
@@randyjones5450 I fell off a skateboard, hit my lowerback so hard, didn't help that I was bombing a hill.
Same thing as you. I was light squatting and i heard a pop in my lower back. It's taking too long for me to recover... 2 weeks and it still hurts. I'm glad that you are fine, lucky you😢
Was doing a strenuous activity consisting of lifting heavy objects over a certain slotted period of time. literally threw my lower back out. Now I’m really feeling how important my back is. Even just sitting on the toilet hurts.
Coming back to say that these stretches actually eased so much of the tension ! Two days later and I feel 95% better. Do these stretches !
So how do we strengthen the low back to prevent reinjury
Do yoga.
Was going for a 365lbs conventional PR and here I am
I did an exercise at home wrongly...so here i am :(
Hope the video helps!
I think I fell asleep with my legs dangling off the bed while I was sick with the flu. Can't wait to try these!
One question. How long does it take for a lower back injury to completely heal? I injured my lower back while doing deadlifts five months ago which took a week to heal, and while I’m mostly fine now, I feel slight pain while doing heavy reps of squats at the gym as if it is putting pressure on that spot.
Did you watch the video?
@@jeffrobdine I did, and as he mentioned, the pain went away within a week and I was able to walk normally without pain. But again, even after five months, I feel irrigation in that spot while squatting. So I am wondering how long it'll take for that irritation to go away completely.
@@sublime9525 it’s different for everyone. Usually low back pain is caused by very tight muscles. Do these stretches everyday as many times as you can and in a week you should notice a difference in the irritation you’re feeling
Everyone is different I injured my lower back lumbar and my buttocks, this happened last october and while it's a little better I've only gotten slight improvements from treatments I've received soI'm going to see a kinesiologist and I'll have a program designed to me to help me heal. I've been told by my doctor that back Injuries take a while sometimes and depending on the severeity of it to heal and the best thing to do, is keep being active and doing stretches and excercises.
@@123Naomii Ahhh, hope you recover completely soon. I think it took me around 8 months to not feel any irritation on my lower back while doing heavier sets. I think core workout also helped a lot.
Thank you for the sharing. Super helpful!

Bringing a Costco lockdown grocery order up a flight of stairs got me here :(
Ouch, hope the exercises help!
I had a very bad sickness for a few days so after laying in bed, my back was sore. Then I had the bright idea to go to the gym to strengthen it. Smith machine RDLs combined with back extension caused me to overextend my back and I didn’t Do what was necessary to heal properly. A few months later, and I am just trying to do what I can to not make this a lifelong problem. I truly never thought this would be me. I am planning on going to the chiropractor physical therapy. Didn’t really help too much.
I'm never deadlifting conventional again
Hi, thanks for your support! I was sitting on the end of a low couch that had a covered board underneath. I got my socks on and twisted down to the left to get my shoes. I set my right leg out to brace myself and my leg slipped on the shinny tile floor. In an instant my body flew to the left and hit on the board underneath. OOUCH! It has been more than week now and still hurts . I can wan but sneezing or moving in some positions I still get a very sharp pain in my left side of my butt! It is not sore on the outside, the sharp pain comes from deep. Feels like a strained muscle. What is the best thing to do and not do.? Thanks again for being there!
Doing plyobox burpees got me here😭 I’m always hurting my lower back🥲
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
Thank you so much for your videos! I fell on my stairs last Monday and have been suffering. I have three kids (a 5 and 3 year old and a 7 month old that I am nursing). Thanks to discovering your videos a couple of days ago, I am finally seeing some improvement. Your videos also helped me realize that I received some poor advice from the ER nurse to stop ice after 24 hours "because it decreases the blood flow to the area." So, I have been alternating heat and ice and it is slowly improving.
My biggest issue is that I am unable to lay down because it is too painful to sit back up. I am having to sleep sitting up so that I can feed my baby in the night and then be able to get out of bed in the morning but the pain is still bad then.
Any advice on how to sleep if sitting up is too painful?
Again, thank you!
