00:00
whether you've bent down the wrong way
00:01
lifted something very heavy off the
00:03
floor or you've just been struggling
00:05
with nagging lower back pain for a while
00:07
now there are things you can do to speed
00:10
up your recovery and quickly relieve
00:12
your pain but if you don't do anything
00:14
about it and you just hope for it to
00:16
heal on its own there's a good chance
00:18
that you'll just re-enter it again
00:20
because you're not solving the cause of
00:22
the problem and that's a major issue
00:24
because when you constantly have pain in
00:27
your lower back you can't work properly
00:28
you can't sleep properly and you
00:31
definitely can't work out properly
00:33
so today I want to go over the five key
00:35
steps you can take to quickly recover
00:37
from lower back pain and prevent it from
00:39
happening again
00:40
in the future when you first start
00:42
feeling that pain and you start thinking
00:43
that you've injured your back your first
00:45
step towards recovery is to set up an
00:48
ideal environment for your body to
00:50
repair itself
00:51
all too often we'll be working out doing
00:53
yard work or just lifting something off
00:55
the ground and we'll start to feel that
00:56
tightness in our lower back but instead
00:59
of listening to our body we just try to
01:00
push through it
01:01
this is obviously a bad idea because we
01:04
all know that doing one more set of
01:05
squats or shoveling more snow simply
01:08
isn't worth it since it'll just make
01:09
your injury worse and it'll take you
01:11
even longer to recover the other common
01:14
mistake is stretching immediately after
01:16
an injury now stretching has its place
01:18
in the recovery process but it shouldn't
01:20
be done right after getting an injury
01:22
this is because there's a high chance
01:23
that your back pain stems from a
01:26
muscular strain which is caused by over
01:28
stretching or hyperextending your back
01:30
muscles so if you're feeling pain that
01:33
came from over stretching your muscles
01:34
the last thing you'll want to do is
01:36
stretch them even further instead you'll
01:38
want to stop the activity that's causing
01:40
the pain and start applying ice to the
01:42
injured area every two hours for 20
01:45
minutes at a time to help reduce
01:46
inflammation you'll also want to get
01:49
somewhere where you could rest but when
01:51
lying down and resting it's crucial that
01:53
you're doing it on a firm surface one of
01:56
the worst things you can do for your
01:57
back especially after getting an injury
01:59
is to sink into a super soft bed this is
02:01
because a soft mattress doesn't provide
02:04
much support so your upper back and your
02:06
hips will sink down into the mattress
02:08
which will cause your spine to curve
02:10
hyperextend leading to more pain and
02:12
making harder to heal so make sure you
02:15
lay down on a firm or at least a medium
02:17
firm surface and you may even want to
02:18
try resting on the floor when you lay
02:21
your back down on the floor or a similar
02:22
hard surface your body can't sink down
02:24
and your spine is put into a neutral
02:26
position which is ideal for recovery
02:29
while resting icing and taking it easy
02:31
for a couple days you'll also want to
02:33
begin with step two which is eating an
02:35
anti-inflammatory diet and guys this is
02:38
super powerful and crucial for recovery
02:40
if you're constantly having nagging
02:42
lower back pain and especially if you've
02:44
recently had an injury most people only
02:46
focus on what exercises and stretches
02:49
they should do which I'll get to in a
02:50
second but to speed up recover your diet
02:53
should consist of only whole unprocessed
02:56
foods and you should eliminate and avoid
02:58
things like refined carbohydrates fried
03:00
foods soda high-fructose corn syrup
03:02
alcohol and processed meat all these
03:05
foods will contribute to more
03:06
inflammation and the problem is the
03:08
longer that it takes to reduce the
03:10
inflammation the longer it'll take you
03:11
to heal natural foods have the exact
03:14
opposite effect and some may even help
03:15
lower inflammation for example fruits
03:18
like Kiwi and especially pineapple
03:20
contain bromelain
03:21
which is a protein digesting enzyme
03:23
known for its anti-inflammatory effects
03:26
foods high in omega-3 like salmon
03:28
walnuts flax seeds and chia seeds are
03:30
all excellent to eat as well because
03:32
omega-3 has been shown to help prevent
03:35
and reduce excessive inflammation
03:36
you'll also obviously want to eat a lot
03:38
of greens as well as good natural
03:40
sources of protein and fat to put it
03:42
simply don't go crazy over complicating
03:45
your diet just eliminate all processed
03:47
foods and only eat whole natural foods
03:49
to lower inflammation and speed up
03:51
recovery now the next step is to start
03:53
foam rolling and stretching keep in mind
03:55
you should let at least 48 to 72 hours
03:58
pass after your injury before you begin
04:00
this step when foam rolling many people
04:03
make the mistake of foam rolling their
04:04
lower backs directly this is a mistake
04:06
because when foam rolling to lower back
04:08
you can easily allow your upper body and
04:10
hips to sink down which will once again
04:12
cause hyperextension of the spine on top
04:15
of all that the lower back muscles are
04:17
rarely the cause of the lower back pain
04:19
instead for many people the problem
04:22
stems from their hip
04:23
flexors glutes and hamstrings so to
04:25
begin foam rolling we can start with the
04:27
glutes by first sitting down on the foam
04:29
roller and then crossing one ankle over
04:31
your other knee and tilting your body
04:33
towards the same side that your bent
04:35
knee is pointing towards the more you
04:37
tilt to the side the more you'll target
04:39
the gluteus medius and the less you tilt
04:41
the more you'll target your gluteus
04:43
maximus you want to spend some time
04:45
rolling out both and whenever you find
04:47
tender spots on any foam rolling
04:49
movement you'll want to slow down and
04:51
work on those spots for 20 seconds
04:53
before continuing now for your
04:55
hamstrings you'll start sitting on the
04:57
foam roller with your hands now behind
04:59
your back and you'll want to pull and
05:01
push your hips back and forth to roll
05:03
those hamstrings out if you can handle
05:05
the movement with both legs on the foam
05:07
roller then you can try to bend one knee
05:09
and focus on only rolling out one leg at
05:11
a time to put more pressure on that
05:13
hamstring finally to roll out the hip
05:16
flexors you'll want to lay down in a
05:17
prone position open up one hip bend that
05:20
knee and lay your opposite upper thigh
05:23
on the edge of the foam roller then with
05:25
short back and forth motions roll out
05:27
the hip flexor once again making sure to
05:30
stop and focus in on tender areas for 20
05:33
seconds at a time keep in mind if any of
05:35
these cause anything more than very
05:36
minor discomfort for your lower back
05:38
then don't do it yet but in total you'll
05:41
want to spend about 10 to 15 minutes
05:42
every other day going through these foam
05:44
rolling movements now after you foam
05:47
roll you'll want to move on to your
05:48
stretches and stretching can help
05:50
big-time there are so many people with
05:52
tight hamstrings that repeatedly injure
05:55
their lower backs not realizing that
05:56
their hamstrings are the cause of the
05:58
problem when your hamstrings are too
06:00
tight they pull in the pelvis which
06:02
pulls on your spine if you sit a lot at
06:05
work and throughout the day in general
06:06
your hamstrings and your hip flexors
06:08
will both get tighter and tighter
06:10
flexors will also cause lower back pain
06:13
we do want to take the stretching slow
06:15
up first so for the first stretch you'll
06:18
want to start by lying on your back
06:19
pulling one knee into your chest and
06:22
holding that position if that doesn't
06:24
cause pain you could try pulling both
06:26
knees into your chest and holding that
06:28
position next you'll want to perform a
06:30
performance stretch by crossing one
06:32
ankle over your knee then laying back
06:34
and pulling the leg that's under
06:36
your ankle towards your face another
06:39
stretch you'll want to do is the cat cow
06:41
stretch here you'll start on all fours
06:43
with a flat back then inhale as you tilt
06:45
your pelvis back for the cow stretch and
06:47
then exhale and tuck your tailbone
06:49
towards your chest for the cat stretch
06:51
then go back and forth finally you'll
06:54
want to stretch your hamstrings and one
06:56
of the best stretches you can do is the
06:58
simple sit and reach where you would sit
07:00
on the ground put both feet out straight
07:02
in front of you and just reach for your
07:04
toes with your knees locked out if
07:06
that's too tough right now you can grab
07:08
a towel put it around your foot lay back
07:11
and slowly pull your foot upwards with
07:13
your knee locked out you can do all of
07:15
these stretches daily and you'll want to
07:17
hold each stretch for 20 seconds then
07:20
release and then repeat for three to six
07:22
rounds let's move on to step four which
07:24
is to strengthen the surrounding muscles
07:26
once you're ready to start slowly
07:27
working out again you'll want to move on
07:29
to this step just make sure that you
07:31
save stretching for after your workouts
07:33
or stretch on separate days don't do it
07:36
before your workouts but to prevent
07:38
another lower back problem in the future
07:40
we'll want to strengthen the glutes the
07:42
back muscles and especially your core
07:44
your core is so important because when
07:47
your core is strong it'll support your
07:49
spine especially if you're lifting
07:50
something off the ground on the other
07:52
hand if your core is weak all that
07:55
weight will be transferred over to your
07:56
spine increasing the chance of re-injury
07:59
first you can start slowly working on
08:01
the core with an exercise known as a
08:03
tabletop leg press this would be setup
08:05
by laying on your back bending your
08:06
knees at 90 degrees and then placing
08:09
your hands on your knees then your goal
08:10
is to simply crunch up a tiny bit and
08:13
push your quads into your hands while
08:15
simultaneously pressing them away hold
08:17
this position for a few seconds and
08:19
repeat for reps next you could do a bird
08:21
dog by getting on all fours and then
08:23
extending one arm and the opposite leg
08:25
straight out then returning repeat this
08:28
for 30 seconds before switching to the
08:30
other side you can also perform some
08:32
glute bridges by laying on your back
08:33
squeezing your glutes and abs and
08:35
pushing through your heels to lift your
08:37
hips up until you create a straight line
08:39
from your shoulders to your knees then
08:41
lower back down and repeat for reps once
08:44
you get to the point where these
08:45
exercises start becoming easier
08:47
and pain-free you can then start slowly
08:49
easing back to more conventional
08:51
exercises like lunges squats and more
08:53
regular core work specifically for the
08:56
core I'll link up a video below in the
08:57
description that'll show you ten
08:59
exercises that you could do at home to
09:01
really improve the strength of your core
09:03
so you can prevent this from happening
09:04
again in the future just make sure that
09:06
you've completed the other steps and
09:08
you're ready for them before beginning
09:10
now the last step is to change your
09:12
daily habits and maybe even your
09:14
lifestyle to prevent this from happening
09:16
again in the future first of all if
09:18
you're overweight or if your muscles are
09:20
deconditioned understand that until you
09:22
change that you're gonna continue
09:24
risking future lower back injuries as I
09:27
mentioned if your core is weak it won't
09:29
support your back and if you're
09:30
overweight your spine has to support all
09:32
that extra weight all the time so make
09:35
sure you're eating right and once you're
09:37
fully healed make sure you start working
09:39
out consistently another daily habit you
09:42
want to do your best to avoid is
09:43
prolonged sitting and if you do have to
09:46
stay seated for a long time let's say
09:48
because of your job do your best to
09:49
maintain good posture while sitting and
09:52
throughout the day in general taking
09:54
simple steps like raising your monitor
09:56
higher to eye level or simply sliding
09:58
your chair and closer it can help
10:00
improve your daily posture another thing
10:02
is if you injured your back lifting
10:04
something off the ground you should
10:05
definitely learn how to properly lift
10:07
things off the ground when lifting
10:09
anything you don't want to bend straight
10:11
down at your waist instead you'll want
10:13
to first pull your shoulder blades back
10:15
stick your chest out and focus on
10:17
maintaining the natural curve in your
10:19
spine as you bend your legs and squat
10:22
down to grab whatever it is that you're
10:23
lifting then continue pushing your chest
10:25
out and keep your back flat as you lift
10:28
up next up is sleep which is another
10:31
important factor every day you're going
10:33
to be creating microscopic tears and
10:34
your back muscles just by supporting
10:36
your trunk when you stand walk and even
10:38
sit so getting enough quality sleep on a
10:41
good mattress every night is vital for
10:43
spinal health we already touched on the
10:45
importance of having a firmer mattress
10:46
that doesn't only apply while you're
10:49
injured you should continue sleeping on
10:50
a mattress that's at least medium firm
10:52
to prevent future lower back pain and to
10:55
optimize alignment and recovery while
10:57
you sleep you should
10:59
your best to also sleep mostly on your
11:01
back and your side instead of your
11:03
stomachs and sleeping on your stomach
11:04
offers no support for your lower back
11:06
last but not least if you smoke
11:09
cigarettes protecting your lower back is
11:11
another great reason you now have to
11:13
quit because nicotine restricts blood
11:15
flow to the disks in the spine and
11:17
smoking will also decrease the amount of
11:19
oxygen in your blood which will decrease
11:21
the amount of nutrients that can get to
11:23
the muscles and the tendons in your
11:24
lower back so that's about it guys I
11:27
really hope this video has helped you
11:28
out and hopefully you'll experience less
11:30
back problems in the future if you'd
