my physiotherapist recommended pilates for back pain. (I've suffered with back pain since I was 12 🙄) or yoga 🧘♀️ not sure if you already tried them?

Hi Dan1, I fell very heavily in my late 20s and this has left residual damage that causes a disc to bulge very occasionally. I do stretches that incorporate yoga and pilates regularly. Without them, I think my back would 'go' more often so, yes I agree with your physio!

Thanks Dani, it doesn’t bother me often but sometimes you just move the wrong way and it nails you!

Oh yes I feel you there, once when I was pregnant with my eldest I was kneeling down pulling wall paper off a wall and my back went, I couldn't move for days, couldn't even stand up off the toilet, couldn't even walk to the toilet I had to crawl, then I had to ring my partner to come and help get up and pull my knickers and trousers up. 😭😱

Tbh I pilates didnt actually help me. But I've found just general working out has helped heaps I still have days where its sore but not having to take painkillers much for it now. A few months ago before I started working out I was having to drug up daily.

Oh yes, that leaning forward and pulling upwards would throw a lot of load onto the lower back. Very painful! I think keeping core and the hip area strong is very helpful. I also do superman, dead bugs, cat cows etc for back stability.

That’s a bummer. Glad you are managing it. Hope it goes away for you soon. I choose not to believe it’s age 😂💕 I like those stretches/exercises too & often do them in my warm up rounds x

Do you use any supports with your back? I’m sure you’ve got the technique down when you do use weights, it could just be a blip. Maybe a nice sports massage would help

Yeah, Piggy, keep doing them! You won't regret it. I think being tall can throw load onto the lower back, long levers, etc so you must be careful. I am 5ft 9 and have a long back so certain moves don't work for me well. But I love the above moves!

Hi, Chesty. I am fine really. Not to worry! I hope you are progressing with your admin etc and that Mum is settled.

Hi Nutri. I try to use my 'internal support' (core muscles) as my girdle! Eekk, oh no, not a sports massage! A sauna would be good if any were open!!
