Stop Decompressing Your Spine the Wrong Way: DO this instead
Does your lower back constantly feel compressed, tight, or like you need to “take the pressure off” your spine?
So you hang from a bar.
Try inversion tables.
Stretch your low back.
Use traction or decompression devices.
And maybe it feels AMAZING for a few minutes…
But eventually, that pressure and tightness comes right back.
If you’ve been dealing with chronic low back pain from an L4-L5 or L5-S1 herniated disc, the answer may not be MORE decompression.
It may be changing how you’re doing it.
In this video, I’m walking you through a simple, back-friendly at-home decompression routine you can use when your lower back feels tight, pressured, or compressed.
But I’m not just giving you a few random decompression exercises.
I’ll show you the most important first step I want you to address before trying to decompress your back, the simple movements I recommend, and what to do afterward so you aren’t constantly chasing temporary relief.
This is especially important if you’ve already invested serious time and money into your recovery—whether that’s physical therapy, chiropractic care, injections, specialists, or even surgery—but still find yourself needing to “decompress” your spine just to feel normal.
At that point, you don’t need another temporary fix.
You need a strategy.
The goal isn’t to become dependent on decompression for the rest of your life.
It’s to use the right tools while gradually building a back that feels safe, capable, and resilient enough to handle your life. I’ll walk you through exactly how I approach it in this video.
