In case of emergency, break the glass!
Here is a cheatsheet with steps you can follow every time your back flares up to get you on your feet and back to training ASAP.
In one place, you’ll find the most effective emergency pain relief tools we use in rePower to “unstuck” your back within hours:
- Restorative positions - that use strategic positioning to release muscles with the pull of gravity, while you just lie there
- Simple and effective self-massage techniques you can do at home, with simple and readily-available tools (like a rolled up towel) to soothe your back and hips
- My favourite back-unstucking mobility and strength sequence that helps my clients get out of a flare-up and back to work the next day.
You will also learn breathing and relaxation techniques we use in rePower to help you restore a healthy core activation after the flare-up, so you are ready to get back to training. You can learn how to restore healthy torso mechanics after back pain in more detail in our online course.
Finally, you’ll get some tips on progressing your training with history of back pain, and how to recognise that you’ve gone too far and stop, maybe even before the pain comes.
Please leave your email below to access your Cheatsheet. This will add you to our mailing list to receive monthly light-hearted but evidence-based articles on the overlap of exercise science, women’s health and longevity. Hope you will enjoy them.
