Why Your L5-S1 Disc & Low Back Pain Isn’t Healing (How to FIX it)
Chronic low back pain can make everything feel dangerous – bending, standing, sitting, even resting. And after years of trying to stretch it away, strengthen it away, or “move correctly,” it’s easy to wonder if something is permanently wrong with your spine. 
But here’s what most people never learn: chronic L5-S1 pain isn’t just a disc issue – it’s a nervous system issue, too.
Your body isn’t failing. Your system is overwhelmed. 
In this first video of our 8-week series, I break down why long-term L5-S1 pain behaves differently from an acute injury and why the traditional “fix the disc” strategy leaves so many people stuck. You’ll learn the three common mistakes that keep your pain sensitive, confused, and reactive, even when you think you’re doing everything right. These mistakes show up in how you move, how you protect yourself, and how you interpret every sensation your back gives you.
Then we put it into practice with one simple exercise designed to help your nervous system calm down, and your spine move with less fear.
This isn’t about bracing harder, stretching deeper, or forcing perfect posture. It’s about teaching your body that movement can be safe again – the critical first step before strength, mobility, or resilience can stick.
Enjoy!
