<p>✅ Watch the MASTERCLASS on low back pain and sciatica:https://shapeshiftwellness.com/backpain-masterclass.There's a massive mistake most back pain and sciatica patients are making with their exercises — and it's making their pain worse without them even realizing it..You've probably tried core stability exercises, McKenzie extensions, stretching, maybe even Jefferson curls. Sometimes you get short-term relief. Sometimes you accidentally flare yourself up and have no idea why. Here's the thing: the problem isn't the exercise. It's the dosage..In this video I break down why popular rehab approaches like the McGill method, McKenzie protocol, and flexion-based exercises can all work — or all backfire — depending on one factor that almost nobody talks about. I also explain why your anatomy (disc herniation, spinal stenosis, nerve compression on MRI) doesn't actually tell us who will have pain and who won't, and what does.What we cover:.Why core stability exercises have a cult following — and why they still might be making you worse..The real reason McKenzie extensions help some people and flare others upWhy avoiding forward bending leads to a cycle of fear and flare-ups.The single most important rule of rehab (the Rule of Too's)What yoga, dead bugs, and most PT exercises actually have in common.If you've been doing the same exercises for months and still dealing with chronic low back pain or sciatica, this video is for you...#lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief#lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief#sciatica #sciaticatreatment..⚠️ THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE!
