If your back hurts after workouts, chores, or even sitting too long, this episode will help you understand why. Many people are told to strengthen their core, but the real issue is often that the back is overworking because other areas are not doing their part.In this episode, Dr. Ar'neka explains how the back becomes the default stabilizer when the core and hips are not coordinating well. You will learn how tight hips, disconnected breathing, and overactive glutes place extra stress on the spine, even in people who are strong and active.You will also learn simple strategies to rebalance your system to help your back stop compensating so it can finally relax and recover.The key message is that your back is not weak. It is carrying too much of the work. When you restore support from your core and hips, your back pain can improve quickly and sustainably.If you are tired of stretching, adjusting, or trying random exercises without results, this episode will give you a clearer understanding of what is actually going on and what steps to take next. Book your free 20-minute discovery call to chat about your goals and ways I can support you!Thank you so much for checking out this The Resilient Body Podcast episode.

Today we explain why a stiff, painful lower back doesn't need more stretching (knee-hugs, Child's Pose, cat-cow). Most disc problems bulge backwards, so repeated forward-bending keeps stressing the very tissues that need protection. We show what to do instead: learn neutral-spine control, practise real-life patterns (squat = stand up, hinge = pick up), and then build capacity. We also cover why imaging can be useful (for the clinician and planning), how years of sitting flatten your lumbar curve, spinal remodeling basics, post-op realities (microdiscectomy still needs rehab), coccyx pain referrals, IDD + rehab, cardio choices, and more Q&A.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:- Stiff ≠ “needs more flexion.” Most lumbar injuries dislike forward-bending; stabilise first, then strengthen.- Why imaging sometimes helps: it informs technique and targets—not a reason to delay starting safe rehab.- Your curve is often already flattened from long sitting; stop trying to add even more flexion.- Coccyx pain is commonly referred from L5/S1; fix the spine, not the seat cushion gimmicks.- Relief vs rehab: decompression/massage can soothe, but strength changes capacity (and daily life load wins).#backinshape #sciatica #herniateddiscsChapters:00:00:00 Why “stretch your stiff back” backfires (disc bulges & flexion strain)00:02:10 Stability over stretching: protect the injury, don't keep bending it00:05:00 When imaging helps (and why it shouldn't delay starting safe rehab)00:07:40 Normal curves 101 (lordosis/kyphosis) and where lumbar motion should occur00:11:30 The sitting problem: years of posterior tilt flatten the lumbar curve00:15:20 Spinal remodeling idea (sustained extension positioning; context & limits)00:18:50 Already flexed at rest? Then you don't need more forward-bending00:22:10 “Anterior pelvic tilt” myths—why visual guesses mislead without imaging00:24:30 Post-microdiscectomy truths: surgery ≠ rehab; start stabilising early00:28:00 “Arthritis” vs tissues you can strengthen; capacity beats labels00:31:00 Coccyx pain often from L5/S1; understand sitting loads (≈20–45% BW context)00:34:10 IDD decompression + must-do rehab outside the clinic00:36:40 Weighted-vest walks vs suitcase carries (scalable loading)00:39:20 Cardio picks you can scale (walking → run sets, air bike, x-trainer)00:42:10 Congenital fusions: even more reason to nail neutral & hip mobility00:45:00 Cat-cow/Child's Pose: why they're often the wrong tools early on00:47:40 Use knees/hips/ankles—stop making your back do every job00:50:10 Program support & education: do the plan, film your reps, iterate00:55:00 Q&A: over-training, gym mistakes, yoga kneeling, couch stretch tweaks00:59:27 Wrap-up & next steps for members

Get John's new book Pain-Free Performance: Move Better, Train Smarter, and Build an Unbreakable Body—Knees sore? Back tight? Shoulders giving out? You're not broken, you're just missing the system your body was built on.I talk with Dr. John Rusin, an internationally recognized strength coach, physical therapist, and author of Pain-Free Performance, about how to train hard without breaking down.John reveals why your knees, back, and shoulders fail together, and how the "pillar" (your hips, core, and shoulders) holds the key to lasting strength. We cover breathing and bracing for stability, rebuilding your deadlift safely, and the movement mistakes that cause chronic pain. You'll learn how to train smarter, move better, and build real resilience so you can lift for life, not just the next program.Today, you'll learn all about:0:00 – Intro2:43 – The pillar that powers pain-free strength4:19 – Breathing and bracing the right way8:22 – How to train hard without breaking down11:42 – The mistakes keeping you in pain16:38 – Why perfect form isn't one size fits all19:26 – How to find your ideal squat setup27:32 – The deadlift myth that's hurting your back41:12 – Why lunges are your secret weapon51:00 – Shoulder pain fixes that actually workEpisode resources:Pain-Free Performance (John's new book)Dr. John Rusin's website:  drjohnrusin.comDr. John Rusin on Instagram: @drjohnrusin Dr. John Rusin on Youtube: @johnrusin3229 Support the show

Today's live is all about stabilising the lumbar spine after a disc injury or sciatica. We show you how to keep the spine still while you move, then build from the floor up with the six essentials: Dead Bug, Marching Bridge, Squat, Hip Hinge, Step-Up, and Single-Leg Hip Hinge. You'll learn why these beat endless stretching, how to judge progress (by capacity, not symptoms), and how to avoid common traps (e.g., relying on belts/braces).Q&A covers: knee pain with squats (how to modify), whether hip thrusts or heavy shrugs make sense (and when), “centralisation” misconceptions (don't wait to start rehab), decompression/IDD nuances, towel decompression comfort over time, and using load as your “healed for what?” yardstick.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:

You'll learn how to release tension, build real stability, and get lasting relief without relying on endless stretches.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why shallow, chest-based breathing keeps your back tight and how 360° breathing creates stability and release.How weak or underactive glutes force your low back to work overtime (and simple movements to wake them up).Why tight hip flexors overload your spine and the best way to unlock them with smart mobility work.Book your free 30-minute discovery call to chat about your goals and ways I can support you!Thank you so much for checking out this The Resilient Body Podcast episode.

✅ Watch the MASTERCLASS on Low Back Pain & Sciatica. https://www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass . If you have chronic low back pain or sciatica, it's easy to think that the pain is all coming from tissue damage like a disc bulge, a disc herniation, disc degeneration, tight muscles, or a pinched nerve. . Research shows that in most cases of chronic pain, a large portion of the pain is NOT from damage, but rather from inflammation and hypersensitization of the nerves in the muscles, joints, and disc, through a process called peripheral sensitization. . Peripheral sensitization can make chronic low back pain and sciatica much worse by creating hypersensitivity to normal, non-damaging activities or movements. This is crucial in understanding the difference between safe pain and unsafe pain during chronic low back pain and sciatica rehab. . . #lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief#lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief#sciatica #sciaticatreatment

As a collegiate field hockey player, Jenna's overtraining resulted in a torn L5-S1 disc. After an eight month journey seeing many providers including doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturist, and physical therapists to relieve her pain, she turned to non surgical treatments.  These included epidurals, SI injection, facet injection, nerve ablation, and a second SI injection.The pain subsided for four years where she returned to running, lifting, hiking, skiing, coaching, playing field hockey and volleyball. But one day while sitting at her desk, a recognizable deep pain seared into her lower back, initiating what would become an additional 2 year journey for relief.An MRI showed a very damaged disc, and  it was time to see a surgeon. Jenna was given the with  choice of a lumbar fusion or disc replacement. After a second opinion, and with the support of both surgeons she decided that the L5-S1 disc replacement was my best option to return to an active lifestyle. At just 26 years old Jenna had the surgery, and in just six weeks of recovery, she began physical therapy to build core strength. Three months after surgery, Jenna was able to increase her activity. She experienced a small setback with SI joint pain, but was managed with a steroid injection. At six months post-op, she was cleared of all restrictions and started jogging, tried snorkeling, hiked, hit golf balls, and skied. Tune in to listen to her inspiring journey of patience, perseverance, and hope. Support the Show.

Hey Girl! I think every woman I have talked to, young and old, has admitted to wanting a bigger butt.  Whether it's for it to look bigger or be stronger, glute strength and growth is something I am working on constantly with my patients.  Especially if you struggle with feeling your glutes even though you are doing all the “glute exercises” or if you feel it in your back, hamstrings or quads instead, even causing pain.  It can be so frustrating to make the time to do the workouts and not see any progress.   So inside this week's episode I am diving into the details of glute engagement and getting more firing in those muscles so that they will turn on when they are supposed to.  Because otherwise, let's face it, it's worthless to have muscle that isn't turning on when it should, even if it is strong.  If you want more on actual exercises for glute strength, after you listen to this episode to learn how to make sure your butt is engaging when and how it should, go check out an old but my most popular episode “30- Build Your Butt//4 Best Exercises..” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-balanced-momtality-pelvic-floor-core-rehab-for/id1682290727?i=1000633356245  As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!  Make Sure to reach out to> PTDes@balancedmomtality.com  AND/OR Join my FREE Facebook community for ACCOUNTABILITY and a safe and supportive place to share and support each other!> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1696216757461633/    Join my VIP Insider group and receive my Newsletter full of great tips and tricks and upcoming resources! > https://newsletter.balancedmomtality.com/   Follow and get tips/tricks on:  Facebook> @thebalancedmomtality Instagram> @the_balanced_momtality   Learn > www.balancedmomtality.com

It's common knowledge that the vast majority of us will experience low back pain at some point in our lives.

Low Back Pain is one of the most common things that riders suffer from both on and off the bike. It can ruin the good time that mountain biking is supposed to provide for us and in extreme cases can even make riders quit riding. Even more frustrating is that there doesn't seem to be a consistent, predictable pattern with low back pain and it is often a mystery as to the specific underlying cause. But if you ignore it then it tends to get worse until you have to deal with it. I have experience with Low Back Pain both as a trainer who has helped riders overcome it but also as someone who has suffered from it. A long time ago I tweaked my back trying to deadlift too much weight and if I don't stay on top of it my back gets stiff and sore, plus I have to be conscious of it while training. This journey to find solutions for myself and the riders I've worked with has led me to discover some things that I feel can help a lot of riders out there. A lot of these things aren't your typical “stretch your hip flexors” advice you usually hear and they fill in some gaps that I think a lot of riders are missing in their attempts to fix their Low Back pain. First, before we get to the specific advice,  make sure that there isn't something medically wrong with your back. Have a doctor check it out and see if there is something specific going on like a pinched nerve or a bulging disc.  But if there isn't something specific wrong with your lower back and it just hurts at any time then there may be a few things you can do to help improve the situation. Here are 8 things that I've found can help improve your Low Back Pain: Be aware of your breathing. Improve your Hip Flexor strength with Isometric Exercises. Improve Hip mobility. Improve Spinal mobility. Have a Warm Up and a Pre-Ride Routine. Stand up for High Tension efforts. Use Flat Pedals. Use a Strength Training Program that creates a well balanced body. Be Aware Of Your Breathing. How you breathe affects a lot of things in your body, including your lower back. Several studies have found a link between bad breathing habits and low back pain, IMO most likely due to the inability of the core to properly stabilize under load (poor core stability has also been linked to low back pain). This means that you could be doing everything else right and still have low back pain. It's a low hanging fruit that can make a big difference so you may as well make it a part of your overall strategy. Good breathing will help to stabilize the midsection and reinforce good posture. You want to be aware of and practice good breathing habits on the bike, in the gym and during your everyday life. You can check out this post to learn more about optimal breathing habits and how to assess and optimize your breathing habits. Strengthen the Hip Flexors with Isometric Exercises.  The recommendation to strengthen the hip flexors might come as a surprise to some riders. We've been told for years that the problem was tight hip flexors and that we should avoid exercising them directly and focusing instead on stretching them. I've found that this doesn't consistently fix the problem and that there isn't a direct correlation to a muscle being “tight” and it also being strong. A weak muscle creates its own set of problems that need to be addressed and in some cases, addressing the strength issue helps with the mobility/ ROM issues. I've also found that using Isometric Exercises to strengthen the Hip Flexors offers a way to safely strengthen them, which can be an issue with movement based exercises. The 4 best Isometric Exercises that I've found for this purpose are the Single Leg Hip Flexor and Glute Bridge, Squat and Lunge. Start with wherever you're at and work up to holding the weakest point of the movement that you can get into with good posture and breathing for 60-90 seconds. Do them 1-3 times a week, focusing on improving your ROM and breathing each week along with the time you are holding for. Improve Hip Mobility.  Yes, you most likely do need to improve your hip mobility, you just need to focus on more than just the front of the leg (Quads and Hip Flexors). Your hips have 4 basic directions of movement and you want to do something to work on all of them. I like to use good old fashioned static stretching positions along with my breathing and a little bit of movement to help me get deeper into the stretch. The 4 stretches I like to do are the Quad/ Hip Flexor Stretch, Hamstring Stretch, Glute Stretch and Butterfly Stretch. You want to hold the stretches for as long as you can - 15 seconds is better than nothing and holding them for 5+ minutes might do you some good. In general, though, I recommend 30 seconds up to 2 minutes, 3-7 days a week.  Improve Spinal Mobility.  Another forgotten part of the low back pain problem is that your spine needs to be able to move freely and sometimes sticking points in that movement create excessive stress on the spine. Having a spine that moves freely that you can protect under load with tension is the ultimate goal and until both are achieved you may still be fighting low back pain. The 3 movements I like for working on my Spinal Mobility are the Sun Salutation, Twisty Slaps and Stick Windmill. Be sure to avoid pain when doing these movements and to use your breathing to help stabilize the spine and improve your ROM. BTW, if you don't feel comfortable with spinal twists then just do the Sun Salutation, you'll get a lot from it. Have a Warm Up Routine and a Pre-Ride Routine. Quality movement is pain free movement so your ultimate goal is to practice quality movement when you train and ride. Having a Warm Up and Pre-Ride Routine that focuses on improving your Hip and Spinal Mobility will help you to bring higher quality movement to your training and riding. Sitting in a car or sitting and spinning your way to the trailhead will most likely create stiffness in those areas, which will decrease your movement quality. Doing a few mobility movements like the Sun Salutation, Twisty Slap, Windmill and Reverse Lunge to High Knee can set you up for better movement potential on the trail which will improve your performance, endurance and decrease the chance of low back pain. Stand Up For High Tension Efforts. The posture you put a lot of tension on matters. Standing Postures are better for High Tension Efforts - better posture, better chest position for breathing, better core engagement, more hip extension, co-contraction at the knee at the bottom of the pedal stroke and less strain on the neck to look up. Seated Pedaling is good for Low Tension/ Recovery Efforts but the position and posture you are in is not good for creating a lot of tension. I know, you were told that Standing Pedaling is “less efficient” and to sit down on climbs to keep weight on the back tire. Seated Pedaling feels easier but easier isn't the same as “more efficient” - efficiency is a measurement of how much work is produced compared to the energy used to create it and in a lot of cases Standing Pedaling is actually “more efficient”. Remember too that Standing Pedaling is a new skill and you aren't very efficient at it, which makes it feel much harder. But once you use it for a while you get more efficient and it doesn't feel as hard. As far as keeping weight on the rear tire, you can keep weight on the back tire without having your butt on the seat. We've all seen examples of people climbing steep stuff while standing up so obviously it can be done and you don't have to keep your butt on the seat when climbing. Plus, you don't want weight on your rear tire, you want well timed pressure. If you needed weight then Clydesdale sized riders would never break traction on climbs but we know that isn't true so obviously there is more to it.  You want to use weight to create pressure, specifically pressure into the rear tire that is timed with your pedal stroke, and that is often done better from the Standing Position, especially on technical climbs. A lot of riding related back pain is from too much reliance on seated pedaling. Break away from it and watch your performance improve and your pain go away. Use Flat Pedals. This isn't which pedal system is the highest performance at the highest levels of competition, it is about which system is healthier for the body. As a 40+ year old rider odds are super high that you don't pay your bills based on your riding performance and longevity is a priority for you. Flat Pedals force you to use a more natural pedal stroke, which places the stress on the hips and not on unnatural pulling with the Hip Flexors and Low Back. They also allow for variability in your foot position and the pedal stroke that you can't get when you are locking into the pedal in the same foot position every time you ride. This variability has been found to correlate to fewer injuries and lower injury potentials and the current theory is that prefect, repeatable movement isn't possible or desired for long term health. Flat Pedals will take stress off of your lower back by allowing for more natural and more variable movement which, when coupled with Standing Pedaling, can make a huge impact on your lower back pain. And with the risk of this sounding like an infomercial, the Catalyst Pedals I designed take this concept to its full conclusion by creating the most natural support possible for your foot, which further decreases pain and power and performance. Use A Strength Training Program That Creates A Well Balanced Body. Odds are pretty high that if you have low back pain then you haven't been consistently following a strength training program that creates a well balanced body, especially if you have been riding a lot. Maybe you haven't been working out at all or maybe you've been doing something that creates more stress on the lower back, like programs that have you doing a lot of circuits to build cardio or “work capacity”, but either way you need to evaluate your overall approach to creating and maintaining a healthy, high performance body. You can check out the podcast I did on Strength Training Basics For The 40+ Year Old Rider to learn more about what to look for in a good strength training program but as you get older this becomes more important. So in conclusion, Low Back Pain is about much more than just stretching your Hip Flexors and by following this advice you can get your Low Back Pain under control and start to move in a better direction with how you move on and off the bike.  Until next time… Ride Strong, James Wilson

Contributor: Jared Scott MD Educational Pearls: Should we use opioids to treat low back and neck pain? The OPAL Trial, published in The Lancet, in June 2023, attempted to answer this very question. Objective: Investigate the efficacy and safety of a short course of opioid analgesic (oxycodone-naloxone) for acute low back pain and neck pain. Trial Design: Triple-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized trial, conducted in Emergency and Primary Care in Sydney, Australia, involving adults with 12 weeks or less of low back or neck pain. Participants: 347 recruited adults (174 in the opioid group, 173 in the placebo group) with at least moderate pain severity. Intervention: Participants were assigned to receive either an opioid or a placebo for up to 6 weeks. Primary Outcome: Pain severity at 6 weeks measured with the pain severity subscale of the Brief Pain Inventory (10-point scale). Results: No significant difference in pain severity at 6 weeks between the opioid group (mean score 2.78) and placebo group (mean score 2.25). Adverse events were reported by 35% in the opioid group and 30% in the placebo group, with more opioid-related adverse events in the opioid group (e.g., constipation). Conclusion: Opioids should not be recommended for acute non-specific low back pain or neck pain, as there was no significant difference in pain severity compared with the placebo. The study calls for a change in the frequent use of opioids for these conditions. Pharmacy Pearl: Why was naloxone mixed with oxycodone? Naloxone is an opioid receptor antagonist, meaning it can block the effects of opioids. When combined with oxycodone, naloxone's presence discourages certain forms of opioid misuse. Additionally, naloxone can bind to opioid receptors in the gut and improve symptoms of Opioid Induced Constipation (OIC). This is the same idea behind Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone).   References Jones CMP, Day RO, Koes BW, Latimer J, Maher CG, McLachlan AJ, Billot L, Shan S, Lin CC; OPAL Investigators Coordinators.

Overview:   In today's episode we address some common fitness industry questions starting with; is frequent muscle stimulation better than longer recovery between workouts. We talk about Mind Pump's MAPS program and how and how it relates to our approach with our clientele. Next we move into how strength training changes when you begin a sport like BJJ. Included in this discussion are considerations on balancing performance with staying healthy for your sport. The third topic is something that comes up very often - stubborn low back tightness. We give you an extremely useful assessment that you can use on yourself or clients to give a picture of where the tightness is coming from and then instruct on some correctives that we've been having huge success with for low back pain. We wrap up the training discussion with best explosive exercises that are low impact. We discuss our own methods of exercise selection and the thought process behind “explosive” training. Lastly, Smitty gives tribute to a big influence of his, Dr. Yessis and dives into some of his work that has massively impacted the industry.     Timestamps: [0:00] Intro [1:29] Frequent Muscle Stimulation for Hypertrophy [12:02] Strength Training Around Jiu Jitsu [24:04] How to Assess and Address Stubborn Low Back Tightness [40:26] Best Low Impact Explosive Training [54:37] Tribute to Dr. Yeses        Subscribe to Our Youtube!   https://youtube.com/@becomingroninpodcast?si=KSmhTMvmrW5JfhXg         SPONSORS:   Jocko Fuel https://store.jockofuel.com/?ref=xgsWFwqMzvQtsD Code RONIN10   Get 10% Off The Iron Neck: https://www.iron-neck.com/discount/AFFILIATE?rfsn=7380568.84f9bc2&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=brian.oberther     Get FREE LMNT with your first order!
