Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A burning leg at night, a “herniated disc” on the MRI, and years of mixed messages—sound familiar? We unpack a real client story and show how to trade fear for a plan using assessment-first coaching, language that calms the system, and progressions that actually work.We start by debunking outdated ortho beliefs that frame backs as fragile and people as broken. Then we map a simple screening process to pinpoint intolerances—flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion, or compression—and use those findings to build a zero-discomfort movement menu. You'll hear why stretching into nerve symptoms often flares sciatica-like pain, when sciatic nerve glides help, and how to reframe “pain” as “discomfort” to reduce threat and increase buy-in.From there we get practical. Learn how to coach precise planks, side planks, and bridges; when to choose TRX rows over bent-over rows; how to modify pressing with landmine variations; and why bilateral pulling beats asymmetrical loading early on. We cover bracing and drawing-in cues, pacing volume to track responses, decompression options for compression-sensitive clients, and small lifestyle levers like sleep setup, hydration, and nutrition quality. We also explain imaging context, disc reabsorption, and the power of daily low back routines that rebuild trust. Finally, we share networking tactics to team up with pro-movement physios and chiros so your client always has a path forward.If you coach people with back issues—or you're working through them yourself—you'll leave with a step-by-step framework: listen, screen, find zero-discomfort ranges, progress deliberately, and keep the wins going for life. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with your top takeaway so we can cover it next.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Grant Elliott, chiropractor and founder of Rehab Fix, to break down the truth about back pain, disc herniation, and sciatica.Grant shares his personal journey of losing a promising athletic career to back pain and how it pushed him to become a movement-based chiropractor. We discuss why 80% of people will experience back pain in their lifetime, why the spine is not fragile, and what the latest evidence reveals about disc healing, recovery, and prevention.This conversation cuts through the myths and fear-based narratives that often lead patients to unnecessary surgery. Instead, Grant explains how movement, proper assessment, and addressing mental and emotional health are key to long-term recovery.Key Takeaways-- 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their life.-- The spine is strong, adaptable, and designed to move — not fragile.-- 97% of disc herniations heal without surgery when treated properly.-- Good assessments should focus on history + movement analysis, not just imaging.-- Movement-based solutions are more effective than passive care.-- Posture is not the root cause of pain — variety and movement matter more.-- Emotional and mental health significantly influence pain and recovery.-- Preventive mobility, exercise, and awareness can reduce long-term back problems.DERRICKTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@drderrickInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/derrickbhines/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@DrDerrickGRANTWebsite: www.therehabfix.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/rehabfix/followers/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@rehabfix
Worried you'll make a herniated disc or sciatica worse, so you do… nothing? Today's live explains why “doing nothing” usually means doing the wrong things all day (and staying stuck), and what to do first: education → strategy → tutorials → then careful practice. We show why daily life (chairs, shoes, kids, work) often provokes more than a controlled squat, how to troubleshoot towel vs bed decompression (including getting in/out safely), and simple gym setup wins (hello safety bars) that spare your back. We also cover why the Jefferson curl isn't a smart rehab driver, plus Q&A on AS/spondylo, post-microdiscectomy progress, spondylolisthesis goals, isometric holds, “can a disc bulge fully heal?”, and best sitting/posture tweaks.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:
Pelle was in the best shape of his life — but also in the worst pain of his life.A competitive athlete and coach, Pelle suddenly developed debilitating pain from an L4-L5 disc bulge and L5-S1 herniation.

In this episode of Rehab Science, Dr. Tom Walters, DPT, breaks down cervical radiculopathy—a common condition involving compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the neck. He explores the relevant cervical spine anatomy, including how disc herniations or degenerative changes like bone spurs can narrow the neural foramina and impinge nerve roots, leading to symptoms that radiate from the neck into the arm and hand. Dr. Walters reviews hallmark symptoms such as radiating pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness, and discusses how these typically follow a dermatomal distribution depending on the affected cervical level. Dr. Walters also explains the clinical examination process for diagnosing cervical radiculopathy, including provocative orthopedic tests and the role of imaging like MRI when necessary. He outlines both medical and physical therapy approaches to treatment—ranging from anti-inflammatory medications and injections to targeted rehab strategies like cervical traction, neural mobilization, postural correction, and strengthening exercises. The episode wraps up with practical advice for managing this condition through movement-based rehabilitation. YouTube Video with Exercises Nerve Mobilization Exercises Amazon Book Link

Instead of these terrible core exercises, do these instead for your herniated disc! ►► IS YOUR BACK PAIN FIXABLE? Take The FREE Quiz and be given the BEST starting point to start seeing relief based on your results! http://www.fitness4backpain.com/quiz If you've been dealing with chronic lower back pain from an L4-L5 or L5-S1 disc herniation or bulge, you already know how frustrating it can be to find the right exercises that don't make things worse. Unfortunately, a lot of common core exercises can actually increase your pain and slow down your healing! For years, I did all the “right” things—physical therapy, core workouts, stretching, medication—yet my pain never fully went away. After being diagnosed with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and a ruptured L5-S1 disc, I kept searching for answers. What I learned? Some of the most recommended core exercises were actually setting me back! If you've been told to “strengthen your core” but still feel stuck in pain, you need to know which exercises to avoid—and what to do instead. What You'll Learn in This Video✅ The worst core exercises for L4-L5 or L5-S1 disc injuries✅ Why traditional core training can increase pain and sensitivity✅ Safer, more effective core exercises that support real healing✅ How to rebuild core strength without fear of making things worse Many people with herniated or bulging discs feel trapped between pain and inactivity. They're afraid to move, but they also know they need to build strength to support their spine. The problem? Not all core exercises are created equal. If you're still doing exercises like sit-ups, crunches, or certain planks, you might be unknowingly keeping yourself in pain. The good news? There are better ways to build core strength that don't involve bracing, straining, or worsening your disc injury. After years of failed treatments, I discovered that pain-free movement is possible—but it starts with doing the right exercises and avoiding the wrong ones. Who This Video is For This is for you if:You suffer from chronic lower back pain due to a disc bulge or herniationYou feel afraid to move and don't know which exercises are safeYou've tried injections, surgery, medication, or PT with little successYou want a drug-free, holistic approach to pain reliefYou dream of getting back to hiking, kayaking, playing with your kids, or just living pain-free Enjoy! -WIlliam LOVING THIS CONTENT?

In this inspiring episode, Cam sits down with Brycen, a 26-year-old firefighter who was told by doctors he would never fulfill his dream due to a debilitating L5-S1 disc herniation and sciatica.

✅ Watch the MASTERCLASS on Low Back Pain & Sciatica. https://www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass . If you have chronic low back pain or sciatica with a disc herniation, disc bulge, or disc degeneration, stop worrying so much about the disc herniation on the MRI. . Yes, sometimes disc herniations matter. Yes, sometimes disc bulges cause pain. However, in most cases, the disc herniation is not 100% responsible for chronic back pain or sciatica. . Even when the disc herniation is indeed part of the pain, research shows that chronic pain is still multifactorial. We need to zoom out and look at the bigger picture. . Lastly, even when a disc herniation is indeed a big factor in a person's pain, we still don't need to panic! Most disc herniations heal, and even when they don't, they don't usually cause pain forever. . . #lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief #lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief #sciatica #sciaticatreatment

Phil Norvold, Whealth Limitless member: "On May 23rd, I reached out to the Whealth team in a desperate attempt to avoid back surgery. My neurosurgeon had just diagnosed me with a 5mm L5-S1 disc herniation that was crushing my sciatic nerve, and insisted that a microdiscectomy was my next option, as everything I tried for the previous 3 months didn't help. From March to May, I tried an emergency epidural, yoga, Thai massage, sauna, dry needling, ibuprofen, muscle relaxers, painkillers, cold plunging.. but the pain was relentless, worsening, shooting down my leg & making every day a struggle. My work, travel, & responsibilities as a father/ husband were all suffering tremendously, so I needed to find a way out. On May 23rd, I faced a crucial decision: undergo back surgery or try the Whealth Limitless Program, which I had seen online help others like me overcome their back pain. I scheduled a consultation with co-founder @camborch who helped me believe in myself, and I decided to give the program my all before resorting to surgery. I started Limitless that afternoon and created a schedule to follow each 30 min daily workout. I awkwardly introduced myself in the private facebook community and began learning the basics, posting videos, and getting private coaching. Within 8 weeks, I eliminated 90% of my pain. By the end of week 1, I could sit comfortably with less pain, put my shoes on, and travel on a plane. 3-4 weeks in, my range of motion started returning, I got stronger, and the pain was at 50% By week 5, my neurosurgeon told me in a follow up that he no longer recommended surgery, changing his mind, and that what I was doing WAS WORKING! By week 6, I was back on a bike, and during week 8, I got back to jiu jitsu rolling and I cycled 120 miles. This program not only gave me my life back but also taught me the importance of balance and intentionality. I've decided to run it one more time, as I've regained my pre-injury abilities but still have room for improvement. I'll be at 100% in no time. This program is priceless, and it works if you work it."
