STOP Doing Cat-Cow Like This: Safer Relief for Herniated Discs
If you’ve been using Cat Cow for back pain relief, chances are you’re doing it the “normal” way — and it could be making your spine feel tighter, more irritated, or even flaring up your symptoms.
Here’s the truth: The Cat Cow exercise isn’t the problem. It’s how you’re moving through it that either calms your nervous system and reduces sensitivity… or ramps your pain right back up.
In this video, I’ll break down exactly what most people get wrong about the Cat-Cow exercise for back pain relief and show you the specific adjustments you can make to unlock real relief.
You’ll learn:
- 📌 Why the “traditional” Cat Cow exercise doesn’t work for chronic back pain sufferers with herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, or degenerative discs.
- 📌 The nervous system mistake most people make that keeps their back hypersensitive.
- 📌 A gentle, somatic approach to Cat Cow that retrains your spine , reduces guarding, and helps you feel confident moving again.
This isn’t about stretching harder or pushing through pain; it’s about retraining your body to feel safe so you can finally move without the constant fear of flare-ups.
Enjoy!
