i got lower back injury during leg press exercise
Today I got while T bar workout
I got injured yesterday doing a 67 kilos dead lift, was very dumb 🤦🏻♀️
can this heal a pulled muscle in the lower back
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

😅
Yes
Yes
Me, today, lol.
Broo😢... I hadn't done them in a while but I went light

Glad most of us are here from lifting improperly and I’m not the only one😂
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.

All deadlifters check in with me😂🤦🏾♂️
Deadlifting got me, twice. Hope the exercises help!
🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
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
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👌
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. 😄
Great to hear you're getting relief!
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.
After searching a bunch of videos this one actually captures my attention and helps my capability
Thanks for educating the community and appreciate your volunteering and thanks to your team
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
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
You are magician. I couldn’t move after a Sprain. Now improved to the pain almost gone.
Great to hear that! Thanks for watching too.
Is English your first language? Trick question😂😖
Exercises helped straight away. Thank you
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
That deadlift🤣
MANNNNNNN ME TODAYYY
Deadlift got me today🤣
Dead ass
Got me also
From a 30 kg and the bear was 20 I got injured because of 50 kg squat life sucks
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!
Glad I found your channel for general tips a few months ago, but now I’ve gone and slipped which hurt my lower back. I appreciate the information!
how are you now? i fell too and it's been hard. still battling pain now but have been going to PT.
thanks for the info, practical and straight to the point.
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
Yes... do light activity... it alone helps a lot along side self message & light stretching
Doc you're the best just did all of it had pain for over a week and got instant relief and definitely feel the difference 👏🏼
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!!
Thank you. Really thorough and helpful advice.
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for your clear information!
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!
Please give us an update soon!
@@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!
@@toriwiley3372 Great to hear, and thanks for the update.
I have a Debilitating spinal strain and can hardly stand up… hopefully some of this helps
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.
Hope the exercises help!
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!
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.
Glad the exercises are helping you!
Thank you for the sharing. Super helpful!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you brother. You saved my back. Love it
Glad you found the video and it's helping, and thanks so much for watching!
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!
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!
You're a gifted speaker.
Extremely useful information ‼️
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Carrying my squad on WarZone got me here! 😅
Ha, hope the exercises helped!
😂
Ufff that calls for chiropractor check 😅

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.
How's it going
How’s it going for you now
how’s it going?
Thinking I could deadlift for the first time after watching 10 seconds of a 15min video got me here
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 🙏
Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
hows it doing now?
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!
Great information, many thanks!
Thanks for watching!
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.
@@AJM2183 thankyou buddy,
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
@@Zthbz7rrHii bro have you healed? How long it took for you to completely heal? Please reply
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
It helped me a lot Doctor, thank you so much.
Glad to hear that, and thanks for watching!

Real good info here, I was just running and suddenly a lower back muscle had enough and gave up on everything
Thanks for watching!
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.
Good evening I have been trying them exercises they're getting to be easier. About two and a half weeks ago I pulled my back muscle but it turns out it's a little bit more than that. After getting a handful of x-rays, my doctor at the veterans hospital has determined. That there is chronic wedging of several lower mid thoracic vertebrae. Multi level degerative disk space,and facet joint changes. I am scheduled for a MRI on the 30th.
Thanks for this video info 🙏🏼
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!
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!
Same just freaking strained mine during Mma😑
so helpful thanks!
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!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for watching!
Its work twnk you so much from Philippines
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing this video. ❤️
Thanks so much for watching!
Really promising! In my case it is been a couple of months it comes and goes... Also been stressed out 😢
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?
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!
Hey Doc, Thanks for the valuable information,it really did work and help to ease the pain
Great to hear that! Thanks for watching.
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!
How did it go?
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
Damn I was squatting and the bar made my chest lean down and ever since my lower back is hurting wear your belts guys
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

These three things I followed.. And with in 2 day my pain is gone completely gone..
Great to hear you’re getting a lot of relief!

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.
very nice sir. after watch your video my stress in less now. thanks
Glad to hear that, 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
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!
@@CLLEON 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.
@@CLLEON thanks!
I did squats yesterday with a perfect form,
Today morning i have slight strain in my lower back don't know how,

Doc, the best video you did that fixed my back was doing the exercises in bed just after waking up with back pain, 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
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
Ouch same here!
exacly what happend to me but then when squatting 😬
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

What about your lower back injury
@DrRowe
I am new to watching this channel, but I thought of something that could be useful to link to in the video. You could have a link to a video explain / demonstrating ways to get into and out of the stretches and sitting/laying positions. You may already have that video made. Sorry I am new but it would be a great link to video.

Did lower ab workouts and now I’m here. Las time this happened I went running and jump roping in April. It hurts when I walk or put a lot weight on my right leg. Could it be a pinched nerve or a sciatica issue? Considering getting an MRI
