Main Points From Today’s Episode One of the worst things to do for your back is rest it. Movement and exercise is a better answer. Strength training is essential for every kind of pain we have. The stronger we are, the more support we have for our joints, our backs, everything. Mobility and flexibility are essential for healthy backs. The more malleable our disks are, the easier our backs can adjust. Episode Play-By-Play [0:04] One of the worst things folks can do is rest their backs. [4:27] Emily’s reason for exploring back pain [5:44] 80% of people have some experience with back pain. [6:06] One of the main reasons for people experiencing back pain [8:00] When we have back issues, our tendency is to stop moving, but that’s only making the problem worse. [8:40] The more flexible and more malleable our disks are, the easier our backs can adjust. [10:00] These are the two main things to focus on if you are having back pain. [10:30] Exercising to improve strength & mobility in the core, low back and pelvis [11:44] Exercising the core and the glutes creates strong muscles surrounding the pelvis, which helps muscles in the low back release. [13:15] Here’s a stretch for tight hips and glutes [17:15] Emily feels strength training is essential for every kind of pain we have. And that yoga is the perfect complement.
