Most people assume back injuries come from a single moment, one bad rep, one wrong movement. But when it comes to disc herniations and low back pain, the truth is much more complex. In this episode, I break down exactly what happened during Will’s squat, what people are getting wrong about his injury, and the real reason his back pain likely occurred. 🔷 Why that squat may NOT be the real cause 🔷 The hidden factors that increase your risk of disc injuries 🔷 What “butt wink” and spinal flexion actually mean under load 🔷 Why most back injuries build up over time, not just one rep 🔷 And the exact exercises used to fix and rebuild your back safely 👉 Key takeaway: That squat didn’t cause the injury… it exposed it. I’ll also walk you through the most effective way to recover from a disc injury, including: ✔️ Disc reversal (extension-based) exercises ✔️ Core stability training (without making pain worse) ✔️ How to reintroduce movement safely ✔️ How to progressively return to lifting If you lift weights, train hard, or deal with low back pain or sciatica, this video is a must-watch. 📲 Work With Me ✅ Text “PAIN” to +1 (317) 751-9509 to get my FREE Back Pain Fix Demo 👉 Apply for my 1:1 Online Low Back Program: www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program 📸 Follow @rehabfix for daily back pain & rehab content:www.instagram.com/rehabfix ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – Did This Squat Cause the Injury? 00:25 – Breaking Down Will Tennyson’s Squat 01:10 – The “Butt Wink” Explained 02:00 – Why One Rep Doesn’t Cause Disc Herniation 02:45 – The Real Cause: Load, Volume & Fatigue 03:30 – Hidden Risk Factors (Recovery, Sleep, Training Style) 04:20 – That Squat Didn’t Cause It… 04:45 – Current Treatments (What Helps vs What Doesn’t) 05:20 – The RIGHT Way to Fix a Disc Injury 06:10 – Step-by-Step Rehab Plan 🔑 Keywords That May Have Brought You Here: Will Tennyson back injury, Will Tennyson squat injury, disc herniation from squats, low back pain from lifting, butt wink squat injury, why back injuries happen in gym, disc bulge exercises, low back pain weightlifting, how to fix disc herniation, sciatica from squats, back injury gym mistake, core stability for back pain, extension exercises for disc, RehabFix back pain, Dr Grant Elliott #️⃣ Hashtags #RehabFix #WillTennyson #BackInjury #DiscHerniation #LowBackPain #Sciatica #Weightlifting #SquatForm #BackPainRelief #FitnessInjuries

    Stop Stretching for Lower Back Pain! Fix It With These 3 Exercises

    Learn how to fix your pain with our “Centralization Process” here! https://rebrand.ly/ytpainfree Submit an application to work with us 1:1 and learn how to fix your low back! ⁠www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program⁠ To view hundreds of free low back videos please follow us on instagram at @rehabfix ⁠www.instagram.com/rehabfix⁠ If you’ve been stretching your low back or hamstrings to fix your pain… and it’s not getting better, you’re likely making it worse. Most people with low back pain or disc issues are told to stretch more. But what they don’t realize is that many of these stretches put your spine into more flexion (rounding), which increases pressure on your discs and keeps your pain stuck. In reality, back pain isn’t always caused by tight muscles. It's often the result of repeated stress, poor movement patterns, and lack of spinal stability. In this episode, I’ll show you a completely different approach to fixing low back pain: 🔷 Why stretching your low back and hamstrings can make pain worse 🔷 How repeated spinal flexion increases disc pressure 🔷 What movements you should avoid during a flare-up 🔷 And the exact exercises you should do instead to reduce pain FAST Instead of chasing temporary relief with stretches, you’ll learn how to reverse the pressure on your spine, restore movement, and build stability so your pain actually improves long-term. If your back pain gets worse when bending forward, sitting, or stretching your hamstrings, this episode is for you. 📲 Work With Me ✅ Text “PAIN” to +1 (317) 751-9509 to get your FREE Back Pain Fix Demo 👉 Apply for my 1:1 Online Low Back Program: www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program 📸 Follow @rehabfix on Instagram for daily low back & sciatica tips:www.instagram.com/rehabfix ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – Why Stretching Isn’t Fixing Your Back Pain 01:10 – How Spinal Flexion Increases Disc Pressure 01:55 – Why Your Pain Keeps Coming Back 02:29 – Exercise 1: Reverse the Pressure (Extension) 03:35 – Exercise 2: Prone Hip Extension 04:26 – Exercise 3: Camel Pose 05:15 – How to Fix Back Pain Long-Term 🔑 Keywords That May Have Brought You Here: low back pain, back pain from stretching, why stretching makes back pain worse, disc herniation exercises, low back pain relief fast, hamstring stretch back pain, back pain when bending forward, disc bulge exercises at home, how to fix lower back pain, back pain exercises that work, sciatica stretching mistake, stop stretching for back pain, back pain flare up fix, how to reduce disc pressure, core stability for back pain, RehabFix back pain, Dr Grant Elliott back pain, #️⃣ Hashtags #RehabFix #LowBackPain #BackPainRelief #DiscHerniation #SciaticaRelief #BackPainFix #SpinalHealth #MobilityTraining #PainRelief #FixYourBack

    Most Missed Cause of Low Back Pain? Cluneal Nerve Relief (Fix It FAST)

    Learn how to fix your pain with our “Centralization Process” here! https://rebrand.ly/ytpainfree Submit an application to work with us 1:1 and learn how to fix your low back! ⁠www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program⁠ To view hundreds of free low back videos please follow us on instagram at @rehabfix ⁠www.instagram.com/rehabfix⁠ If you’re dealing with low back pain that won’t go away, and nothing seems to fix it… you might be missing one of the most commonly overlooked causes. Most people are told their pain is coming from a disc, joint, or muscle deep in the spine. But in many cases, the real issue is something much more superficial, cluneal nerve irritation. These small nerves sit just under the skin of your lower back, and when they become compressed, they can create sharp, burning pain along your beltline, side of your hip, or even into your thigh. In this episode, I’ll show you a completely different way to approach low back pain: 🔷 What cluneal nerve irritation is and why it’s often missed 🔷 How to tell if your pain is coming from a superficial nerve 🔷 Why certain postures and movements make it worse 🔷 And a simple technique to release the nerve and reduce pain FAST. Instead of chasing deep spinal issues, you’ll learn how to decompress the tissue, restore movement, and stabilize your spine so the pain doesn’t keep coming back. If you’ve tried stretching, massage, or typical back pain exercises and still feel pain along your lower back or hip this episode is for you. 📲 Work With Me ✅ Text “PAIN” to +1 (317) 751-9509 to get my FREE Back Pain Fix Demo. 👉 Apply for my 1:1 Online Low Back Program: www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program📸 Follow @rehabfix on Instagram for hundreds of free low back and hip videos:www.instagram.com/rehabfix ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – The Hidden Cause of Low Back Pain 00:25 – What Is Cluneal Nerve Irritation? 01:05 – Why This Pain Is Often Misdiagnosed 01:45 – Where Cluneal Nerves Cause Pain 02:30 – Why These Nerves Get Irritated 03:20 – Step 1: Decompress the Cluneal Nerve 04:20 – Why This Technique Works 04:50 – Step 2: Stabilize Your Spine 05:40 – How to Prevent Pain from Returning 06:20 – When This Isn’t the Real Problem 🔑 Keywords That May Have Brought You Here: lower back pain,hidden cause of back pain,cluneal nerve pain,cluneal nerve irritation treatment,lower back pain that won’t go away,beltline back pain,hip and lower back pain,nerve pain in lower back,back pain misdiagnosed,superficial nerve pain back,low back pain exercises at home,how to fix back pain fast,back pain relief without surgery,sciatica vs nerve pain difference,back pain near pelvis,posterior hip pain cause,RehabFix back pain,Dr Grant Elliott back pain,#️⃣ Hashtags #RehabFix #BackPain #LowBackPain #NervePain #Sciatica #DiscHerniation #BackPainRelief #SpineHealth #PhysicalTherapy #PainRelief

    Low Back Pain Flare-Up? Try This 3-Step Fix for Fast Relief!

One day your back feels fine — and the next, you can barely stand up straight, put your shoes on, or pick something up without fear. Most people panic in this moment and either stop moving completely or do the wrong exercises… which actually makes things worse. In reality, a low back flare-up isn’t just about tight muscles — it’s a combination of muscle spasm, an overprotective nervous system, and poor spinal stability. In this episode, I’m going to show you a simple 3-step protocol to calm your back down FAST: 🔷 How to relax your nervous system and reduce muscle spasm 🔷 How to stabilize your spine and protect your discs 🔷 And how to safely restore movement so you don’t stay stuck in pain This is the exact process we use to help people with low back pain, disc herniations, and sciatica get out of flare-ups quickly — without relying on rest, medications, or passive treatments. If you feel “locked up,” afraid to move, or stuck in a cycle of recurring back pain… this video will show you exactly where to start. 📲 Work With Me ✅ Text “PAIN” to +1 (317) 751-9509 to get my FREE Back Pain Fix Demo. 👉 Apply for my 1:1 Online Low Back Program: www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program 📸 Follow @rehabfix on Instagram for hundreds of free low back & sciatica videos:www.instagram.com/rehabfix ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – Low Back Flare-Up Explained 00:37 – Step 1: Calm the Nervous System (Breathing Reset) 01:39 – Gentle Mobility to Reduce Stiffness 02:02 – Step 2: Core Stability & Disc Protection 02:55 – Safe Core Exercise for Low Back Pain 03:55 – Step 3: Restore Movement & Extension 04:41 – How to Fully Unlock Your Back 04:50 – What to Do After the Flare-Up 05:28 – How to Fix Back Pain Long-Term 🔑 Keywords That May Have Brought You Here: Low back pain flare up, Back pain flare up fix, How to fix back pain fast, Disc herniation flare up, Sciatica flare up relief, Lower back locked up, Back pain when bending forward, Back pain when standing up, Acute low back pain treatment, How to calm back spasm, Nervous system back pain, Core stability for back pain, Disc bulge exercises at home, How to restore spine mobility, Back pain recovery plan, Centralization method back pain, Fix low back pain without surgery, Back pain exercises that work, Why back pain keeps coming back, RehabFix back pain protocol, Dr Grant Elliott RehabFix #️⃣ Hashtags #RehabFix #BackPainRelief #LowBackPain #SciaticaRelief #DiscHerniation #BackPainFix #SpinalHealth #MobilityTraining #PainRelief #FixYourBack

    Why Disc Herniation Pain Is Worst in the Morning (And a Simple Routine That Helps)

    Learn how to fix your pain with our “Centralization Process” here! https://rebrand.ly/ytpainfree Submit an application to work with us 1:1 and learn how to fix your low back! ⁠www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program⁠ To view hundreds of free low back videos please follow us on instagram at @rehabfix ⁠www.instagram.com/rehabfix⁠ If you wake up every morning with a stiff, painful lower back and it takes a few minutes to stand up straight, it could be a sign of a spinal disc herniation. Most people assume they just slept wrong or need to stretch their back immediately. But when your pain is worst right after waking up, it’s often one of the most common signs of a disc herniation or irritated spinal nerve. While you sleep, your spinal discs rehydrate and swell because gravity is removed from the spine overnight. That extra fluid increases pressure inside the disc, which can push further into an injured area and irritate nearby nerves, making your back feel much worse in the morning. In this episode, I’ll show you a much smarter way to handle morning disc pain: 🔷 Why back pain is worse when you first wake up 🔷 The biggest mistake people make getting out of bed 🔷 How disc pressure increases overnight 🔷 And a simple morning routine that helps reduce disc pressure and calm the nerve. Instead of aggressively stretching or bending forward first thing in the morning, you’ll learn how to move your spine in the right direction, unload the injured disc, and stabilize your lower back so you can start your day with less pain. If you wake up with morning back pain, disc herniation, sciatica, or severe stiffness when standing up, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and what to do about it. 📲 Work With Me Text “PAIN” to +1 (317) 751-9509 and get my FREE Back Pain Fix DemoApply for my 1:1 Online Low Back Program: www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program Hundreds of free videos on Instagram: @rehabfix → www.instagram.com/rehabfix ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – Why lower Back Pain Is Worse in the Morning 00:38 – What Happens to Your Spine While You Sleep 01:44 – The Biggest Morning Mistake 02:23 – Exercise 1: Spinal Extension on Elbows 03:23 – Exercise 2: Extension Press-Ups 04:01 – Exercise 3: Posterior Chain Strengthening 04:55 – The Centralization Process Explained 🔑 Keywords That May Have Brought You Here: Morning back pain, Why back pain is worse in the morning, Disc herniation morning pain, Back pain after sleeping, Lower back pain when waking up, Sciatica worse in the morning, Herniated disc exercises, Disc bulge morning routine, Back stiffness after sleeping, How to fix morning back pain, Lumbar disc herniation exercises, Sciatica nerve pain relief, Lower back pain routine, Back pain when getting out of bed, Disc pressure in the morning, McKenzie extension exercises, Spinal extension routine, Morning mobility for back pain, Sciatica morning routine, Back pain relief exercises at home, RehabFix back pain, Dr Grant Elliott RehabFix, Disc herniation recovery exercises, Centralization method for back pain, Back pain routine for desk workers #️⃣ Hashtags #RehabFix #BackPain #DiscHerniation #Sciatica #LowBackPain #BackPainRelief #SpineHealth #PhysicalTherapy #MobilityTraining #PainFreeLiving

    Fix Your Sciatica: 3 Steps to Relieve Nerve Pain at the Source

    Learn how to fix your pain with our “Centralization Process” here! https://rebrand.ly/ytpainfree Submit an application to work with us 1:1 and learn how to fix your low back! ⁠www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program⁠ To view hundreds of free low back videos please follow us on instagram at @rehabfix ⁠www.instagram.com/rehabfix⁠ If you're trying to massage your leg pain or use tools for sciatica relief, you're completely wasting your time. Sciatica does NOT start in your leg. The sciatic nerve branches from your lower back and travels down your leg. And the most common cause of sciatica is a disc herniation putting pressure on that nerve at the source. No amount of massage, scraping, cupping, or tools can physically reach or “release” that nerve under your thick glute and hamstring muscles. In this episode, I’ll show you: 🔷 Why massaging your leg won’t fix sciatica 🔷 What’s actually irritating the nerve 🔷 The 3-step process to take pressure off the nerve at the source Step 1: Reverse disc pressure with lumbar extension Step 2: Open up the nerve root space and calm inflammation Step3: Stabilize the disc and nerve so the pain doesn’t come back Getting pain relief is one thing.Keeping yourself pain free long-term requires reducing disc pressure, calming the nerve root, and reinforcing stability around it. If your sciatica keeps coming back after massage or passive treatments, this is the approach you’ve been missing. 📲 Work With Me ✅ Text “PAIN” to +1 (317) 751-9509 to get a FREE Sciatica Fix Demo 👉 Apply for my 1:1 Online Low Back Program 📸 Follow @rehabfix on Instagram for daily back & sciatica videos ⏱ CHAPTERS (Clean + Optimized) 00:00 – Stop Massaging Your Sciatica 00:24 – Why You Can’t “Release” the Sciatic Nerve 01:07 – Why Massage Feels Good (But Doesn’t Fix It) 01:28 – Sciatica Starts in the Lower Back 01:48 – Step 1: Reverse Disc Pressure (Lumbar Extension) 02:38 – Step 2: Open the Nerve Root Space 03:44 – Step 3: Side Plank Clamshell for Stability 04:29 – Why Strength Keeps Sciatica from Returning 04:43 – Reduce Pressure → Calm the Nerve → Stabilize 05:09 – Get a Custom Sciatica Fix Plan 🔑 KEYWORDS Sciatica massage doesn’t work Why sciatica keeps coming back Disc herniation sciatica treatment How to fix sciatica at the source Reverse disc pressure exercises Lumbar extension for sciatica Sciatic nerve compression relief Stop chasing symptoms sciatica Best exercises for disc herniation Sciatica nerve root irritation Fix sciatica without surgery Lower back disc bulge exercises Centralization method sciaticaNerve pain down leg treatmentSciatica relief that lasts #️⃣ Hashtags #RehabFix #SciaticaRelief #SciaticaPain #FixYourBack #DiscHerniation #BackPainRelief #SciaticNerve #LowBackPain #SciaticaExercises #SpinalHealth #NervePain #HerniatedDisc #Centralization #BackPainTreatment #PainFreeLiving

Most traditional core exercises increase spinal flexion and disc pressure — and if you already sit, bend, and flex all day, that’s the last thing your spine needs. In this episode, I’ll show you: 🔷 Why ab-focused core training makes low back pain worse 🔷 What your core is actually supposed to do 🔷 Why posterior-chain strength is the missing link 🔷 3 safe core exercises that support your spine instead of compressing it Core strength isn’t about abs. It’s about stabilizing the spine, preventing excessive motion, and distributing load through your hips and posterior chain. The 3 exercises you’ll learn: ✔ Reverse Plank ✔ Chinese Plank ✔ Reverse Plank March These movements: • Reduce anterior spinal stress • Strengthen glutes and hamstrings • Improve posture • Build anti-rotation stability • Help you train without flaring up your back. This is core training that supports your spine — not stresses it. ⚠️ If traditional planks or crunches aggravate your pain, this video will change how you train forever. 📲 Work With Me ✅ Text “PAIN” to +1 (317) 751-9509 to get my FREE Back Pain Fix Demo. 👉 Apply for my 1:1 Online Low Back Program: www.therehabfix.com/low-back-program 📸 Follow @rehabfix on Instagram for daily low back & core training videos:www.instagram.com/rehabfix ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 – Why Ab Exercises Make Low Back Pain Worse 00:48 – What Your Core Is Actually Supposed to Do 01:42 – Why Flexion Increases Disc Pressure 02:30 – Exercise 1: Reverse Plank 03:28 – Exercise 2: Chinese Plank 04:36 – Exercise 3: Reverse Plank March 05:42 – Why Posterior-Chain Core Training Works 06:20 – How to Build a Spine-Safe Core Plan 🔑 Keywords That May Have Brought You Here: Core exercises for low back pain, Best core exercises for back pain, Ab exercises making back pain worse, Posterior chain core exercises, Core stability for low back pain, Safe core exercises for disc herniation, Low back pain workout routine, Reverse plank benefits, Chinese plank exercise, Anti-rotation core training, Core exercises without spinal flexion, Fix low back pain naturally, Spine friendly core workout, Low back pain rehab exercises, Core strengthening without compression, Glute activation for back pain, Dr Grant Elliott RehabFix, Back pain from crunches, Stop doing sit ups for back pain, Disc herniation safe exercises. #️⃣ Hashtags #RehabFix #LowBackPain #CoreTraining #BackPainRelief #SpinalHealth #PosteriorChain #DiscHerniation #MobilityTraining #PainFreeLiving #FixYourBack
