Best Core Engagement Methods For Back Pain, DDD, L4 L5 and L5 S1 Herniation
Does the idea of “bracing your core” get a bit confusing? Maybe when you “brace,” it causes more lower back pain, or maybe you’re not sure if you’re even bracing the right way to protect your lower back. If that’s you, this video is for you!
Bracing your core correctly to protect your lower back without causing more pain in the process is an important skill to practice.
The problem I see a lot of chronic lower back pain sufferers making is not knowing what amount of bracing is too much for certain tasks. When in pain, you may tend to over-brace, thinking that more bracing must give MORE protection.

Today, I want to show you the best strategy for bracing the core correctly to not only keep your lower back from hurting but to protect your lower back during hobbies, activities, and time in the gym. William
