15m
In 2013, when I was still working in the trades, I had a workplace injury while working on a ladder that left me with debilitating back pain for almost a year. Since then I have largely learned to manage it, but that old pain still creeps in every now and again. According to StatsCanada, "four out of five adults will experience at least one episode of back pain at some time in their lives," which is no small amount. In my experience training people, there is no one universal fix. But often strengthening our core and glutes, in concert with trigger release and stretching, can be really helpful. In this video I'll guide you through a little sequence that has often helped me and my clients, so you can give it a try and see what works.
Equipment: Comfortable place to lay down. A ball (lacrosse, trigger release, tennis, etc) would be great, and a yoga block (a pillow or book will work fine if you don't have one.
Intensity Level: Gentle
Soothing musical suggestion: https://open.spotify.com/album/3CyHMtNUcpd1cfDtpgDxIK?si=iRjr3f_aSlm202j8-P7vrA
