DISC HERNIATIONS - WEEK 4- SPINAL STRENGTH
SPINAL STABILITY
Last week we discussed the “dead Bug” exercise for beginning to activate your core muscles while still healing and recovering from the acute stages of a disc herniation or bulge.
This week we discuss building on to that strength premise by adding a more challenging exercise called the glute bridge. Many of you may have done versions of this before. There really is no wrong way to do it. But….there are more challenging ways.
Your glutes play a major role in supporting your lower back. Weak glutes can contribute to more stress on your spine, making disc pain worse.
Here is my version of the glute bridge:
Try 5-7 slow reps of each method. If you can do these pain free increase the reps!
