Yoga for back pain. Does it work? Does it help? About 80% of people will develop a major back-related problem at some point. Your spine isn’t just one thing, it’s a whole region of your body – intervertebral discs, muscles, ligaments, nerves. There are a lot of different constituent parts, so there are a lot of different things that can go wrong. So, when we think about a solution to back pain, we need to think about a systems-based approach. This video will help you to rethink and re-evaluate your relationship with pain.

If you think about the root cause of your back pain, you can start to find some solutions. Modern lifestyles aren’t conducive to a healthy back – a lack of activity, limited range of motion, lack of strength and flexibility, combined with muscular imbalances create a perfect storm for back problems. To reverse that problem, very often we need a systems-based approach that focuses on flexibility, strength and lengthening for muscular balance.

3 CORRECTIVE EXERCISES IN THIS VIDEO:

1) Super Squeezer - strengthens your posterior chain (includes hamstrings, glutes, QL, erector spinae)
2) Diagonal Lunge Stretch - works on your psoas muscle and hip flexors
3) Pointer Pose - corrects right and left imbalances

    Lucas, you know this already; you are an excellent communicator.
  • @mellainenewman576
    Lucas, I love your teaching style. One feels like you are chatting to the person watching and listening. That’s me! I live in Australia and I love all your helpful advice . I am still teaching a gentle yoga and chi gung to an older group . I am 76 years old and obviously some of your asanas are a tad too difficult as I have osteoporosis in my left hip and knee but I just keep on moving regardless of discomfort . Bless you for all you give to the yoga world . Mellaine😊❤

    Love these videos - thank you! If you ever do one on rehabbing calf muscles (as a complicating factor in achilles' tendonitis) that would be great too! Thank you for making yoga accessible to everyone!

    And again, I find your stuff THE BEST! So here's the problem. I'm 68 yr old male who has lost 100 lbs in the last yr working to get back in shape. Do you have any videos for BHP or pelvic flood exercises?
  • @proben8713
    Your psoas stretch have really hit the spot. I think its the only psoas stretch that have actually worked for me
  • @milfrie
    I have a habit of tensing my posterior chain and it gives me wicked back pain. If I bend and stretch, the pain goes away but I essentially have to bend it stretch all day long. I learned this when I went on a cruise and my back pain and miraculously disappeared after 2 years and then I realized there was some type of bracing or holding or tension and it went away for 3 years. But now it's back and even though I know it's that, I don't know how to relax those smallest muscles.. the tiny ones that are beyond your conscious control
