Ep 3233 Top Low Back Strengthening Exercises? I Agree with 2... But One's Gotta Go
In this episode, Dr. Sebastian Gonzales DC breaks down the three most commonly recommended exercises for lower back strength, as listed by major fitness websites: the bird dog, deadlift (with good form), and the superman. While two of these have strong biomechanical backing, one raises a red flag—especially for those with disc-related pain or sensitivity to lumbar extension. Dr. G shares his professional perspective on why the glute bridge is a smarter, safer alternative to the superman and how it better engages key stabilizing muscles without provoking pain. This is a must-listen for anyone recovering from low back issues or coaching people through spine-safe core work. Looking to get in touch with our office?

Thanks for joining the Movement Movement. This is your first time at a show. Welcome. You've missed a lot of different shows in the past. I think we're around 200 and almost 90 right now. We've covered various things from sciatica to sports hernias to hip pain, to neck pain, nerves, and so on. Many, many, many different things. So I've had guests on, more guests on in the past, and as of the recent years I found it easier to just sit in my own little room here and just podcast with myself or some of my associate doctors. So I wanted to have Michael Shacklock about a year ago. I've had him on before, but we got lost in communication by email a little bit because he is on the other side of the world. Sebastian Gonzales (01:24): I've been to multiple of his workshops before. They're excellent. I've seen him speak multiple times. Every single person I know from chiropractor to PT to doctor or let's say medical doctor orthopedic that I've ever met, who's watched him speak the dang everything that he said was missing parts of the puzzle for treating people with sciatica. But I had no idea. I didn't know it. I remember one friend I've had on the show, Cody Dimak before. He said, you have to go to his workshop. Basically, if you know all the stuff that you know, this is a part that you cannot afford to miss if you're treating people with sciatica. So I thought we would call this podcast Why Sciatica Comes Back, tips from Michael Shacklock Nerve Expert. But gosh, I hope I don't change the name of the podcast, but I want it to be something really catchy and really precise for you guys. Sebastian Gonzales (02:17): Because here's the thing, I've met a lot of people who have had lower back pain before, just generalized lower back pain. And a lot of 'em heard of, have heard of the Mckenzie Method. Robin Mckenzie was a famous therapist who put together a methodology that really, really helped a lot of people. And then for other people who have been experiencing low back disc pain, a lot of you have heard of Stuart McGill. Stuart McGill is an excellent source of information. He's well researched. He's done a lot of research on his own in his lab, and he's written quite a few books. The books, I think both Robin McKenzie and or I don't know if Robin actually wrote it, but the McKenzie institute wrote it. And McGill wrote for the lay public, I think we're excellent. Mckenzie's is called Fix Your Own Back. Sebastian Gonzales (03:04): They have Fix your own neck, fix your own shoulder in various methods. Stuart McGill has The Back Mechanic, which I think is excellent as well. So there's these types of treatment methodologies that are synonymous with these problems. Even. I'm hoping one day to have Jill cook on for tendinopathies. And then you'd think that everybody who has these problems should probably know about these people and the information that they have come across in order to get themselves better, quicker. The sad reality is a lot of us end up having encounters as clinicians with people who have just not been doing the best things at the moment. You know, sadly and there's a lot of great information out there that we just have to become exposed to. So in this podcast, this is intended for lay public. Sebastian Gonz

Thanks for joining the Movement Movement in this podcast. Today we're gonna cover the topic of sports hernias. Again, we've done this quite a few times over the last few months, and hopefully we're gonna be the biggest resource of sports hernia information on the internet. I guess this podcast would be on the internet. Strangely, this is a condition that plagues a lot of people, but the story that we tend to hear a lot at Performance Places. You know, people just don't have any good understanding of what's going on. There's a lack of information out there. They're not sure what to do, they're frustrated and so on, which is why we're putting these out. We've covered in past podcasts, mechanics, symptom generating structures, and today we're gonna cover more in understanding a strain versus a tear. (01:29): This topic coincides with various different types of conditions as well. If you consider a hamstring, what is a strain versus a tear? How do you know which one you have? I did have someone the other day talk about how we're dealing with back pain with this person, and they said, what do you think about the muscle? I said, well, what about the muscle? And they said, well, do you think it's the muscles causing the problem? Well, you didn't have any bruising or swelling there. There was no discoloration in the skin. There was no pop or feeling like you got shot by a gun. So all those would be indications of some type of fiber disruption in that case. Yeah, the muscle is probably part of the problem, but in this case, the muscle spasm and feeling of muscle pain may be protective or compensatory. (02:13): And so this topic of, is the muscle the issue, or is there any damage to the area? Is it the primary symptom generator, I think is a big topic. And so I want to cover that a bit with you today just so you can get an understanding and not worry so much about the muscle and maybe worry more about or in, in some scenarios, the let's worry more about what to do, about what you feel versus thinking. The muscle's, the big old problem, which honestly, most of the time it's not. Just let you guys know too, if you subscribe to the podcast, you'll get all the great old episodes that we have on various different topics like shoulders and necks and ankles and hips and knees and thighs, and sports hernias, and disc degeneration, and disc herniations and what have you. (03:01): We have lots of different topics, topics on things. We have other hosts that are gonna come in pretty soon. I work with Mandy Wainfan and Dawne Constantino, who have a wealth of knowledge. And, and in order to try to get the Keep This Podcast going with a consistent basis, I need help. And so they're gonna host some of the shows coming up at some point in the future. Please know that I, I do verify they know exactly what they're talking about, so learn from them as well. So, some of the information I'm gonna be sharing today is based upon an older, older, I wanna say older publication at this point in time. It's from 2012 at this point, or 2013 rather. If you look it up and you go online and type up terminology and classifications of muscular injuries in sport, the Munich Consensus Statement, this is again from the British Journal of Sports Medicine. (03:51): And I've been referencing this for quite a while because I think it provides some understanding and a better, a, a better idea of how to m
