have back pain stop randomly cracking your spine or hanging to stretch the pain away the real fix starts with an assessment not guesswork one of my patients struggled with back pain for years every time he squatted the pain started in the front of his hips then as he went deeper he would get butt win and boom his lower back would flare up after testing here’s what we found both hips were blocked he felt a pinch when trying to reach full Mobility he had weak lateral glutes limiting stability and un stable spinal segments but when his core was engaged no pain translation he had hip impingement leading to excessive lower back flexion and flexion intolerant back pain so I started him on the lock base 5 routine to enhance glute engagement and core stability which allowed full hit Mobility without that prior pinch and if he squatted now with a band to maintain optimal glute engagement he could now fully descend without back pain showing he’s now on the right track

Most back pain has a SPECIFIC mechanical cause. This means applying a random non-specific fix (like general manipulations by a practitioner or random stretches you see on social media) will rarely creating lasting results. To truly fix an injury, you need a proper assessment. Today you’ll see what that looks like.
.
From Dr. Stuart McGill, “Back pain is almost always exacerbated by a particular motion, posture or load. Motions, postures or loads that exacerbate the back pain together with those that are tolerated can be identified. A prevention plan can be designed to eliminate the specific causes (motions, postures and loads identified through provocative testing – known as pain triggers) and a rehabilitation plan can be designed to enhance tolerance to these triggers. Back patients can therefore be categorized based on their intolerances.”

Best advice I’ve ever heard: “start with assessment”
Can you pls train more people with your knowledge so we have more people around the world who do proper treatments
Do you have a video showing the individual exercises? I also have problems with my hip. It's tense every day… I have to crack it every day. Despite a lot of exercise, I feel stiff as a twig.
These 5 exercises actually work. Had lower back pain on and off. More on. Started doing these and almost instantly felt relief the following day. Brilliant !!👌
I use a lifting belt for what sounds like the same reasoning shared here. My strength and stability, and my control at depth, seem to improve when I have that belt engaged. It’s a physical queue to press against that my flexing my core before descending and it makes ALL of the difference. I still have some limitations on hip mobility that I want to work out but at least I know I can usually do heavy squats without pain. It’s been over a year since I had anything funky happen during a squat – when I was pretty new to lifting, no belt, went too heavy too fast.
Do you have any UK based consultants? Cheers
Still butt wink at the end with the band
Hello Sir, I follow your videos and like them.
Today I noticed that Both the Indian Flags on wall are pasted incorrectly, please correct them like this 🇮🇳. I hope you will understand the feelings.
My takeaway after all your videos is if I squat with a resistance band enough I'm going to be immortal
This actually seems like the best channel providing actual ways to solve back and knee pain

I have what I was told is a shattered spine that healed the way it is, would you have any advice on how to strengthen my back
There’s no difference in his butt wink. Nearly every human being has that naturally. I do like the exercises for strengthening, though that stuff works for sure.
So the Lock 5 opened the hips?
