RE: Challenge Completed - Shoulders Day 764 reps on January 27
Good work man!
Have you ever heard of Robin Mckenzie @thevillan ?
He wrote a book titled Treat your own back and the methods in the book have helped millions of people fix their own back problems. If your problems are aggravated by bending forward for long periods his methods could help you. His methods work for well over 80% of people with back pain.
Youtube interview with Robin Mckenzie
If your problems are more complex look up Dr Stuart McGill. He is arguably the foremost spinal expert on the planet. His process identifies what triggers the pain and gives you the tools to correct it in cases when the Mckenzie method doesn't work.

Hey thanks for this, really appreciate the support :)
I haven't heard of him before so I will check it out for sure.
It may not help though, I have three compressed vertebra which have fractures so it's one of those induries that you can't do much about. That's why I go to the gym as I find it has really helped me alot. but theres just some things which really aggrevate it.
The doctors mentioned surgery but I was put off by the 5% chance I may not walk again and passed it up.
I will check out out both expert opinions you posted as maybe it will help :)
I've got a couple of mashed disks and I've also had a few fractures to vertebra as well. I train for the same reasons as you, to keep my back working.
Maybe DrMcgills work would be more appropriate for you.
It's sounds like yours is beyond the average bad back just like mine & Dr McGill is the go to man in cases like ours.
Ahh yep so you definately know what it's like, doesn't take much to wind up hurting the next day.
Yeah sounds like dr mcgills stuff is worth checking out.
I found strengthening the whole body really helps, as well as training hard to push my pain threshold up. Plus the pain in my muscles takes my mind off the back :)
