π *Simplify Your Recovery:*
*Focus on Health, Not Just Pain:* Instead of seeking out complex solutions, build back health with exercises that foster strength and stability for everyone.
πΏ *What Constitutes a Healthy Back?*
Load Bearing Capacity
Hip Mobility
Spine Control and Stability
Flexibility in All Directions
ποΈββοΈ *The Core 5 Exercises:*
*Modified Dead Bug:*
*Purpose:* Stabilizes the spine against extension and flexion.
*Benefit:* Highly accessible; can be done on a bed, focusing on core engagement to keep the spine neutral.
*Marching Bridge:*
*Purpose:* Challenges spine stability during single-leg activation.
*Benefit:* Teaches one-sided loading while maintaining spinal stability, can be modified for ease.
*Squat:*
*Purpose:* Strengthens weight-bearing stability, particularly against forward bending.
*Benefit:* Improves daily activities by enhancing the spine's load-bearing capacity in a controlled manner.
*Hip Hinge:*
*Purpose:* Same as squat but isolates hip movement, focusing on posterior chain strength.
*Benefit:* Safely increases back load without knee strain, crucial for those with knee concerns.
*Step Up:*
*Purpose:* Develops asymmetrical stability and balance.
*Benefit:* Mimics real-life situations where balance and uneven load are common, adjustable in difficulty.
π― *Exercise Approach:*
*Start Simple:* Find the easiest version of each exercise you can perform without pain.
*Progress Gradually:* Scale up in difficulty as control and strength improve.
*Consistency is Key:* Aim for 3 sets of 10 reps with rest periods, focusing on form over speed or weight.
π§ββοΈ *Spinal Flexibility:*
*When to Add:* After mastering the Core 5, consider incorporating flexibility exercises, but ensure you have sufficient strength first.
π *Measuring Progress:*
*Benchmark:* Ability to do a squat or hip hinge with bodyweight (100% for men, 75% for women) without pain indicates a strong back.
