260: A Way Out of Back Pain

260: A Way Out of Back Pain

80% of people will suffer from back pain at some point in their life, often debilitating pain, but most problems are undiagnosed, self-diagnosed, and it can be chronic. So what do you do? For better or worse, it seems that your spinal health must be taken into your own hands. If you're going to have a healthy back, you'll need to educate yourself and take action. This week's guest, Dr. Stuart McGill, will help you do just that.

------------
Listen & Learn:

  • Why proximal stability is essential for functional human movement
  • Why tight hamstrings might not be the cause of back pain and how back pain might actually cause tight hamstrings (chicken vs. egg)
  • Why nerve tightness might be the real issue
  • Why disks are hydrophilic and require movement to hydrate
  • How lying down on your belly for 3 minutes, and then walking around can help
  • Why spine hygiene is essential to remove pain
