    L5-S1 Microdiscectomy: Why Your Sciatica Flares Up After Surgery

    An L5-S1 microdiscectomy can be a highly effective emergency or elective procedure to relieve severe nerve compression and sciatica by removing a problematic portion of a herniated disc. However, it is fundamentally a clean-up operation, not a healing one. The underlying injury to the annulus fibrosus remains entirely unresolved after surgery. Often, patients experience a sudden resolution of their sciatic symptoms and mistakenly believe they are cured. This leads them to immediately return to the exact daily habits, postures, and movement patterns that caused the initial injury, inevitably resulting in a frustrating relapse of lower back pain weeks or months later.The foundation of lasting recovery lies in active rehabilitation and learning to stabilise a neutral spine. Whether you are days post-operation or actively trying to avoid surgery altogether, the principles of recovery remain identical. Early intervention with foundational stability exercises—such as the dead bug and marching bridge—is absolutely crucial. Many patients are given poor guidance to "do nothing" for weeks, yet they are simultaneously getting out of bed, dressing themselves, and sitting down. These daily activities place far more load on a vulnerable lower back than controlled, aggravation-free movements performed carefully on a bed or mat.Ultimately, the goal of a structured rehabilitation programme isn't just to get good at doing exercises; it is to build robust, long-term strength and resilience that transfers to the real world. By progressively loading the spine through careful hip hinge and squat patterns, you fortify the spinal tissues and build a protective shield of muscle. This active, strength-based approach ensures that you aren't just putting a temporary patch over the issue, but fully repairing your structural foundation so you can return to a confident, active, and independent lifestyle.Key Topics Covered🩹 *The Surgery Reality Check:* Understand why a microdiscectomy is a space-generating clean-up procedure rather than a healing operation. We explain why the underlying tear in the annulus fibrosus still requires dedicated rehabilitation to prevent future flare-ups of lower back pain and sciatica.🛡️ *Stabilising a Neutral Spine:* Discover why core engagement exercises like the dead bug must be performed with a neutral spine rather than a flattened back (pelvic tuck). Mastering this technique ensures you develop the genuine capacity to brace and protect your spine during real-world, daily activities.🏋️ *Progressive Rehabilitation:* Learn why passive rest is often counterproductive and how carefully reintroducing load through foundational movements builds long-term resilience. We discuss how to safely start Phase One of your programme, even shortly after surgery, provided it is done with control and within aggravation-free limits.Chapters00:00 Introduction to L5-S1 Microdiscectomy01:55 Why Surgery Doesn't Change Rehab Principles02:55 Anatomy of a Herniated Disc & Annulus Tear04:50 Why Microdiscectomy is a Clean-Up, Not a Cure06:30 The Danger of Poor Post-Surgery Guidance08:05 Building a Protective Shield with Spine Stability12:55 When is it Safe to Start Rehab After Surgery?20:30 Managing Sitting Tolerance & Aggravation27:35 The Leaky Roof Analogy for Back Pain Relapses28:55 Why the Pelvic Tuck Ruins the Dead Bug Exercise36:40 Progressing Your Rehab to Build Real Strength43:20 How Decompression (IDD) Fits into Your Programme52:30 Can Discs Recover and Become Resilient with Age?01:01:30 Final Thoughts and Next Steps#Microdiscectomy #SciaticaRelief #HerniatedDisc

    Exercises Making Back Pain Worse: How To Rehab Safely

    Many people find their lower back pain or sciatica actually worsens when they start a rehabilitation programme. Often, this is because generic advice encourages you to simply "wiggle" or stretch the injured segment—such as a herniated disc—rather than teaching you how to stabilise it. When you perform popular but misguided exercises like unguided twists or deep forward bending, you are repeatedly straining the compromised tissues. This sheer friction and movement at the injury site only drives further inflammation and pain. A successful approach requires prioritising a neutral spine and building true core control to protect the area while it heals.Furthermore, relying solely on passive relief strategies won't build the long-term resilience your body needs. While gentle decompression is valuable for symptom management, failing to progress into strength-building exercises—like the squat or hip hinge—leaves your spine vulnerable to the unpredictable strains of daily life. Even when performing the correct movements, it is perfectly normal to experience minor setbacks as you learn proper technique. The goal is to consistently aim for aggravation-free reps, systematically building your load tolerance so that everyday tasks, from lifting a toddler to walking upstairs, no longer trigger a painful flare-up.Key Topics Covered🛑 The Danger of "Wiggling" an Injury: Discover why simply bending and twisting a stiff, painful back often aggravates the underlying herniated disc or joint injury. We explain why learning to stabilise the spine in a neutral position is the crucial first step to recovery.🦵 Technical Errors in Hamstring Stretches: A breakdown of how poor technique during common stretches forces the lumbar spine to compensate, putting dangerous leverage on an already vulnerable lower back. You'll learn how to move from the hips to spare your spine.🏗️ Relief vs. Rehabilitation: We explore why getting stuck in the relief phase leaves you exposed to daily life triggers. Building true resilience requires progressing from foundational stability to loaded movements like squats and step ups.🧠 Reframing Piriformis Syndrome & Sciatica: A deep dive into why symptoms in your legs and glutes are almost always driven by a primary lower back injury. Treating the root cause in the lumbar spine is far more effective than endlessly stretching the piriformis muscle.Chapters00:00 Introduction: Why Exercises Make Back Pain Worse01:30 Reason 1: "Wiggling" the Injured Area03:30 Reason 2: Technical Errors in Stretches06:30 Reason 3: Stuck in Relief Work Without Building Strength09:40 Reason 4: Learning Curve and Errors in New Exercises12:20 Daily Life Strain vs. Rehab Strain19:50 Why Random Exercises Aren't A Rehabilitation Programme21:30 Reframing Piriformis Syndrome and Sciatica25:30 Wall Squats vs. Traditional Squats38:25 Is Piriformis Syndrome Really a Lower Back Issue?49:15 Managing Spondylolisthesis and Disc Herniations56:05 Spinal Decompression and Traction Therapy#SciaticaRelief #LowerBackPain #HerniatedDisc

    Why "Relief" Stretches Are Keeping You in Pain (The 3 Categories)

    Many patients confuse "relief" with "recovery," leading them into a cycle of chronic pain where they manage symptoms without ever addressing the root cause. It is crucial to understand that there are three distinct categories of relief strategies. The first category directly aids the injury, such as spinal decompression which unloads the disc. The second category works indirectly, such as hamstring stretches that improve hip mobility to spare the lumbar spine. However, the third category—which includes common practices like knee hugs, twists, and nerve flossing—provides temporary relief by draining inflammation but simultaneously aggravates the mechanical injury.True recovery requires a shift in mindset from simply chasing the absence of pain to building the resilience of the spine. We often use the analogy of a home renovation: your body is trying to build an extension (heal the tissue), but if you spend your day doing "relief" stretches that torque and twist the spine, you are essentially taking a sledgehammer to the new wall every night. You cannot build strength or stability while constantly irritating the injury. Effective rehabilitation involves stabilising the spine through correct movement patterns—like the squat and hip hinge—and progressively loading these movements. This creates a biological robustnes that allows you to move through the world without triggering the injury, rather than just masking the pain with medication or temporary stretches.We also discuss the systemic issues within standard physiotherapy, highlighted by the story of a GP who joined the Back In Shape Programme because the standard NHS exercises she was forced to prescribe were not working for her own sciatica. Whether you are considering surgery, relying on medication, or contemplating procedures like nerve ablation, you must ask yourself if you are merely taking the batteries out of the smoke alarm while the house burns down. Real healing comes from addressing the fire itself through education, daily management, and a structured strengthening programme that respects the biology of the spine.Key Topics Covered 🛑 *The Three Categories of Relief:* Not all relief is created equal. We break down why decompression and mobility work (Categories 1 & 2) are beneficial, while "bendy" movements like knee hugs and twists (Category 3) might provide temporary comfort but ultimately destabilise your spine and delay healing.🏠 *The Renovation Analogy:* Your body is constantly trying to heal itself, much like builders working on a house extension. We explain how doing the wrong daily activities or aggressive stretches is equivalent to knocking down the builders' work every evening with a sledgehammer, preventing the injury from ever fully resolving.🔥 *The Smoke Alarm Principle:* Treatments like nerve ablation or heavy painkillers are compared to taking the batteries out of a screaming smoke alarm. It stops the noise (pain), but it does nothing to put out the fire (the injury). We discuss why you need to address the "fire" through proper load management and strengthening rather than just silencing the signal.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:25 Relief is Not Recovery01:50 The 3 Categories of Relief Strategies04:40 Why "Bendy" Movements (Knee Hugs) Damage the Spine08:20 Strengthening for Long-Term Resilience11:15 Pre-Hab Advice Before Disc Replacement Surgery14:15 Stem Cell Therapy vs. Steroid Injections24:15 Why the Bird Dog is Not a Beginner Exercise28:25 Hamstring Strain & Lower Back Pain Connections31:45 The Renovation Analogy: Stop Blocking Your Healing33:25 Why Nerve Flossing is Harmful39:15 Why Sitting Increases Lumbar Load41:55 The Smoke Alarm Analogy (Nerve Ablation)43:20 "Daycare for Adults": The Problem with Generic Physio50:00 The Story of the GP Who Joined the Programme52:35 How to Question Your Practitioner01:04:15 Strengthening Targets: Bodyweight Percentage Goals#Sciatica #HerniatedDisc #BackPainRelief

    Why Your Herniated Disc Flares Up: The Truth About Spinal Stability

    In today's session, we dive deep into the mechanics of why lower back pain and sciatica flare up, even when you think you are doing the right things. The core of the issue is often "movement leakage," where motion intended for your hips or upper body inadvertently puts stress on an injured lumbar segment. Whether you are dealing with a herniated disc at L4/5 or L5/S1, these tissues have a reduced capacity for stress. When you move incorrectly—such as rounding your spine during a bent-over row or a simple daily task—you aggravate those vulnerable tissues. Understanding this is the first step toward moving away from the cycle of chronic pain and toward a structured rehabilitation programme.We also challenge the common misconception that more bending and stretching is the solution for a stiff back. If movement is what caused the aggravation, it is rarely logical to focus your recovery on more bending and twisting of the injured area. Instead, the priority must be to stabilise and protect the spine through isometric contraction and proper technique. By building a foundation of strength through exercises like squats and hip hinges, you teach your body to shield the injured segments, allowing the healing process to take place without constant re-injury.### Key Topics Covered🛡️ Movement Leakage & Stability: Discover why back pain flares up when movement "leaks" into injured spinal segments and why learning to stabilise these areas is your primary goal for long-term relief.🏋️ Rehab vs. Hobbies: Understand the difference between therapeutic rehabilitation and hobbies like Pilates, swimming, or golf, and why you must prioritise spinal strength before returning to these activities.💉 Injections & Surgery Truths: An honest look at the role of steroid injections and surgery, explaining why they often fail to address the underlying structural weakness and why rehab is essential regardless of your surgical status.Chapters00:00 Why lower back pain flares up01:08 How movement leaks into the lower back02:32 Moving the injured spinal segment03:39 Herniated discs at L4/5 and L5/S104:44 The goal of spinal stabilisation06:13 Morning stiffness and hip hinges07:22 Understanding nerve irritation vs disc injury08:34 Back extension machines vs hip hinges11:40 The risks of the "Good Morning" exercise15:13 The truth about Piriformis Syndrome16:47 Using weights and load for rehabilitation18:07 Squatting with Hip Impingement (FAI)19:43 Spinal injections and underlying injuries21:24 Isometric holds in daily exercises23:53 How to overcome training plateaus25:32 Standing hip flexor exercise demonstration29:54 Will a second flare-up take longer to heal?32:29 Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) pain vs disc issues35:44 Stem cell injections vs steroid injections38:18 Training for swimming with a disc injury40:35 When is surgery actually necessary?42:08 Does a Chiropractor "work" for back pain?46:30 Pilates, Swimming, and Tai Chi as hobbies49:43 Can you return to Juujitsu after a herniated disc?51:44 Sitting tolerance and lumbar loading54:58 Surgery vs learning to control your spine01:01:25 Is "Glute Amnesia" overhyped?01:05:45 Demonstrating core activation basics#LowerBackPain #Sciatica #HerniatedDisc

    Why Your Back Rehab is Failing: The "Vespa vs. Dodge Ram" Analogy

    In this session, we dive deep into the mechanics of how specific exercises actually facilitate the healing of a herniated disc and relieve chronic sciatica. Many people are led to believe that a therapist "fixes" them, but the reality is that your body is constantly trying to heal itself every single day. The role of a structured rehabilitation programme is to provide the optimal environment for that healing to occur. We discuss the critical distinction between "relief-based" movements—which often involve bending and twisting that provide momentary comfort but can aggravate the underlying injury—and "stability-based" exercises that protect the lumbar spine and allow the damaged tissues to recover.Understanding your "load tolerance" is the key to long-term recovery. We use the analogy of a 50cc Vespa trying to pull a one-ton trailer to describe a weak, injured back struggling with the demands of daily life. To stop the "engine" from screaming—or your back from flaring up—you must upgrade your vehicle to a Dodge Ram or a heavy-duty truck. This means committing to a progressive resistance training programme that builds bone mineral density, muscle coordination, and spinal resilience. By mastering the technique of the squat and the hip hinge, you aren't just doing "gym moves"; you are learning life skills that allow you to navigate the world without constantly re-injuring your spine.Key Topics Covered🛡️ The Stability First Approach: Learn why prioritising spinal stability over mobility is essential for healing a herniated disc. We explain how "relief" stretches can often tie your progress in knots by irritating the very nerves you are trying to soothe.🛻 The Vespa vs. Dodge Ram Analogy: Understand the concept of load tolerance and why daily activities like sitting or yard work cause flare-ups if you haven't objectively built the strength to handle them. 🧠 Skill Development vs. Movement: Rehabilitation is as much a mental game as a physical one. We discuss how mastering the "technical skill" of a neutral spine protects you during flare-ups and provides the confidence needed to return to an active lifestyle.Chapters00:00 Introduction: How exercises actually work01:32 Rehabilitation vs. Relief-based exercises02:08 Understanding L4/L5 and L5/S1 injuries02:40 Clarifying "hip pain" vs. gluteal referrals03:35 Why EDS and hypermobility require stability04:50 Scoliosis and the importance of muscle balance05:35 The truth about who is actually healing you06:05 Skill-based practice vs. high intensity08:00 Building muscle through safe, progressive load10:35 The myth of moving the SIJ independently11:50 Post-surgery movement and avoiding adhesions13:50 Understanding spinal stenosis and congenital canals15:55 Two camps: Stability vs. Mobility18:50 How the hip hinge and squat strengthen injured segments21:10 The wheelbarrow story: Why load tolerance matters23:30 Sitting: Putting 45% more load through your spine25:35 Upgrading your "Vespa" to a "Dodge Ram"28:45 Why we avoid heel plates and "cheating" in squats31:15 Preparing for a microdiscectomy 13 days out34:55 How to sit properly on an 18-hour flight41:40 The role of stretching in the Back In Shape programme45:00 Shocking statistics on women and strength training52:15 Bone density benefits of resistance training55:50 Understanding "clean" MRIs and gaslighting58:30 What is Retrolisthesis?01:07:05 The Grade 4 Spondylolisthesis anecdote01:12:00 How to navigate the Back In Shape App#LowerBackPain #Sciatica #HerniatedDisc

    Why Your Herniated Disc Keeps Flaring Up: The Truth About Spinal Stability

    Many people struggling with a herniated disc find themselves trapped in a cycle of recovery and re-injury. You make great progress in the gym, only to "tweak" your back doing something as simple as picking up a barbell or a cup of tea. In this session, we break down why these setbacks happen and why your rehabilitation must be "on" all the time. Using a real-world example of a member who executed a perfect hip hinge but failed the "setup" and "pack away," we illustrate that the injury doesn't care if you're mid-set or just reaching for your shoes. Stability is a skill that must become a subconscious habit to protect your spine during the thousands of unregulated movements you perform every single day.We also dive deep into the clinical reality of conditions like Bertolotti syndrome, spinal stenosis, and post-surgical recovery. A common misconception is that a specific diagnosis changes the fundamental requirement for stability; however, whether you have a congenital abnormality or a post-surgical spine, the goal remains the same: learning to stabilise the spine in neutral to prevent micro-movements from irritating damaged tissue. We explain the "why" behind morning stiffness—focusing on inflammatory build-up and nocturnal spinal mechanics—and offer a clear roadmap for transitioning from relief strategies into progressive load-bearing to ensure your back becomes resilient enough for the demands of real life.Key Topics Covered🧠 The "Subconscious" Recovery Rule: Your rehab doesn't end when the timer stops; it starts the moment you consider moving. We discuss how making spine-friendly habits subconscious is the only way to stop the cycle of constant re-injury and "getting away with" poor mechanics.⚖️ Stability vs. Diagnosis: Whether dealing with Bertolotti syndrome or central canal stenosis, the principles of spinal stabilisation remain the same. We challenge the "scapegoat" mentality of imaging and explain why building load tolerance is essential regardless of what your MRI shows.🌅 Solving Morning Stiffness: Understanding why pain often peaks after 7–9 hours of sleep is crucial for long-term management. We explore how stillness allows inflammation to pool and how twisting in bed can pinch sensitive nerves, and provide strategies to offset this process.Chapters00:00 Why you re-herniated your disc01:33 Spotting the error in the setup02:22 Rehabilitation is a 24/7 process03:32 Squats and hinges in daily life05:12 Subconscious movement patterns06:44 How other injuries affect your back07:58 Understanding Bertolotti syndrome09:54 Why your back hurts in the morning12:35 Training frequency and overtraining14:35 Posture tension and muscle fatigue16:44 The truth about spinal stenosis20:14 Returning to weightlifting after a break24:43 Sitting vs. Squatting: Load on the spine30:35 Does strength training help stenosis?34:14 Is MRI imaging overrated?37:16 Training during your period40:02 Why we focus on a neutral spine53:18 Why you MUST include squats in rehab01:06:54 The epidural and microdiscectomy cycle01:16:18 What real rehabilitation looks like#HerniatedDisc #BackPainRelief #SciaticaRecovery

    Why Back Pain Advice Conflicts: Understanding Segmental Injuries & Sciatica

    Understanding why different clinicians give seemingly contradictory advice is one of the biggest hurdles in back pain recovery. When one practitioner focuses on a herniated disc and another identifies facet joint hypertrophy, they are often describing different parts of the same segmental injury. Because the spine functions as a series of integrated units, it is nearly impossible to strain a disc without also involving the facet joint capsules and surrounding ligaments. Shifting your perspective from "individual parts" to a "segmental injury" helps reduce the frustration of conflicting diagnoses and allows you to focus on the common solution: stabilising the affected area through high-quality movement and progressive loading. Recovery is a process of building skill and capacity, not just waiting for inflammation to subside. Many people struggle with recurrent flare-ups because they lack the baseline level of coordination required to protect their spine during daily activities, such as getting out of a chair or putting on socks. By mastering foundational patterns like the hip hinge and the squat, you learn to use your hips to spare your back. This mechanical shift, combined with structured relief strategies like towel decompression, creates the environment necessary for tissues—including the annulus fibrosus—to actually strengthen and heal over time, rather than being constantly set back by cumulative strain. ### Key Topics Covered 🦴 Segmental Injuries: Learn why different diagnoses like disc bulges and facet joint inflammation are often just different perspectives on the same structural injury to a spinal segment. ⚖️ Mechanical vs. Nerve Issues: Understand why most "nerve pain" is actually a mechanical back injury irritating the nerve, and why treating the nerve directly often ignores the underlying cause. 🏋️ Progressive Loading: Discover why building strength in the squat and hip hinge is essential for long-term resilience and why "hobbies" like Pilates are not a substitute for a structured rehab programme.

    Why Exercises Fail for Herniated Discs & How to Stabilise Your Spine

    Many individuals struggling with a herniated disc or chronic lower back pain find themselves frustrated when traditional exercises seem to provide little to no relief. Often, the issue isn't the act of exercising itself, but the lack of diligence and the incorrect application of spine stability principles. When exercises like the dead bug or squat are treated as an afterthought or a "sheet of paper" given by a practitioner, they lose their rehabilitative power. True recovery requires a shift from relief-based practices, such as stretching and bending, to a focus on maintaining a neutral spine. By prioritising spine stability, you ensure that the injured segment is protected from further irritation, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to take place without constant interruption. Building long-term resilience is about more than just becoming pain-free; it is about objective functional improvement. While symptoms like sciatica may fluctuate based on inflammation levels—often peaking in the morning due to overnight fluid accumulation—your focus should remain on progressive loading. Moving through a structured programme from core engagement to weighted hip hinges and squats is what builds the "armour" necessary to protect your back during daily tasks. Whether you are dealing with a diagnosed herniated disc at L5/S1 or a synovial cyst, the goal of rehabilitation is to restore the integrity of the ligaments and muscles surrounding the spine. This creates a robust system capable of handling the demands of real life, far exceeding the minimal loading most people assume is "enough." read more: https://backinshapeprogram.com/2026/02/why-your-back-pain-exercises-arent-working-a-clinical-perspective/ 🛡️ Spine Stability vs. Stretching: Mike explains why bending and twisting exercises often aggravate a herniated disc. True rehabilitation focuses on holding the spine steady during movements like the squat and dead bug to prevent further injury. 📈 Progressive Loading & Resilience: Discover why 20kg is rarely enough for long-term recovery. Building strength up to and beyond your body weight creates the necessary support to protect vulnerable spinal segments from future flare-ups. 🧬 The Reality of Nerve Healing: Addressing concerns like foot drop and peripheral nerve damage, this session highlights that while nerves heal slowly, the priority must be removing the mechanical cause of irritation through proper spinal mechanics.
