Herniated Disc Exercise.What is the best herniated disc exercise for relief of related back pain?Well, you must choose an exercise very specific to the type of disc herniation that you have. If your disc is herniating posteriorly, and you do exercises for anteriorly herniating discs you will do more harm to your disc and cause yourself more pain. This is why an accurate diagnosis is of great importance to your rehabilitation from the outset. Once you know what you are dealing with you can then explore the information available on the net and in books, but my advice is not to ‘play’ with exercises if you have a herniated disc. First seek an accurate diagnosis into the direction and type of herniation you have. This may require a doctor, physiotherapist and an MRI scan. The initial exercises I give you to do are directionally biased. I give my clients an exercise in the direction in which your disc needs to move towards. They do this exercise hourly as it will speed up your recovery and ease your pain. The most common disc herniation that I see is a posterior disc protrusion. Commonly I use repetitive extension exercises to facilitate the correction of this herniated disc. This is an extension direction exercise. An example of this would be placing your hands on your lower back while standing and arching your back backwards into them. I usually advise 10 reps an hour for one day before I review again. Once a disc is corrected I teach stability exercises to strengthen the area of your back that is weak. Also I will address any weakness you may have had prior to disc herniation which may have been the cause of the disc injury. Although your pain is now, this is the most important aspect of your disc herniation rehabilitation. Performing this part of your rehabilitation will reduce the chances of it occurring again. I consider working on good posture an exercise and it is the most important correction you can do to prevent further episodes of lower back pain. Poor static posture leads to poor movement posture and over time breakdown of tissues such as discs. Diagnosis is the key and although self treatment is often a good thing, when dealing with disc injuries I strongly advise professional help first.
