Session Sit In: Low Back Pain, Post-Op Spinal Fusion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2017
- Welcome back to the Recovery Lab!!! I had a lot of requests for some more Low Back Pain videos, so here you go!
Enter Matt, 23 years old who enjoys Golf and Olympic Lifting, was crushed by severe low back pain for years. He ended up going the surgical route after unsuccessful shots at traditional physical therapy, acupuncture, rest, you name it...
So he had his L5 - S1 Vertebrae fused, and after 7 months of PT, still had some lingering issues, and still was not back to where he wanted to be. After our first eval, him and I both knew there was a lot of work to do! But after about another 4 months of consistent manual therapy, graston, and corrective exercise...Matt is back in the gym and on the links....he still has his flare ups, but is doing tremendously better after we addressed some underlying mobility and postural concerns. He and I both know he is still a work in progress, but he is well on his way to achieving his goals and living and moving a pain free life!
In this video, I demonstrate some deep hip flexor release, Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Release, Glute release, as well as some focused graston over his SI Joint and surrounding ligaments.

Thanks Mike! Super Insightful!
That looks so relaxing.
Congrats , great stuff.
love your channel
I have spondylosis, cracks on both sides of my L4. I've learned quite a bit from this sit in terms of recovery methods. This man clearly has a ton of knowledge and I hope that I can apply some of his recovery techniques to my condition. It's just difficult treating yourself daily versus paying someone to work on your body. Great video!
Love the video. Very knowledgeable and competent. You kept me engaged for the whole video.
(Especially when you said “slide the knob of my instrument right into..” at 10:12 lol)
I don't know what sorry PT he went to - and that's unfortunate. We do the exact plan of care and interventions this guy does at my PT clinic appropriate for any post-op surgery. Very good video, and so thorough. Happy to subscribe to you, brotha
Ernest! My man! Nice to see a familiar name on RUclips! Appreciate the support bro!
Nice video, I really into these kind of stuff even tho I'm a business student haha. I've been searching for a channel like this, and I found your channel from instagram. Your explaination is really great! Keep up the good work, mate!
MIKE...you are goals and an inspirational therapist for future therapists...I studied sport massage and am now studying neuromuscular physical therapy and want to go over to Vancouver to work for a year or two..but you sounds like u know your stuff you're very interesting, I'm curious to know courses u did, what u actually studied! :O
AMAZING !!
Thanks for subscribing and taking the time to comment! Appreciate the support!!! More coming soon! Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see!
Is there any of these in Central PA? Just had 2nd Low back fusion and Pt will do some of this but not enough!! I have extremely tight/ sore IT band on left leg. They have been rubbing it out and using tools on it and it has been helping. Any tips or tricks for stretching it out and strengthing surrounding muscles to keep it from getting this bad again?
If I need to get this done , how can I find a massage therapist in my area in LA . This guy is really good
Can you add more on therapeutic exercises to these amazing videos?
MIND READER!!! I was just telling my assistant yesterday that we should start taking the session sit ins into the gym after to show the correctives that go with treatment! SO THE ANSWER IS YES YES YES YES!!!! More coming! Stay tuned! Thanks for the comment!
Where are you located? I had spinal fusion Nov 2015. Did PT after 6 months but experienced continued pain. MRI 13 months post surgery shows that I developed severe stenosis in discs above fusion and my scoliosis is more severe. I get burning pain that wraps around my waist and hips instead of former sciatic pain. Can only tolerate Tylenol. Any suggestions for someone using your technique near Elma, NY?
Are you in LA ?
I had surgery in 2010 fusion l4 l5 s1 with a spinal stenosis. So they pretty much came at from both sides. Back surgery through the stomach and the spinal stenosis through my back. I was watching this video and would groan more than your patient. That is exactly where my pain is exactly. But on top of that I hurt in my tailbone, butt bones or right under and the back of both hamstrings. If i sit for more than 15 20 minutes my butt bones hips and hamstrings hurt so bad. Almost unbearable. And when I walk for about a half a block or less it feels like my legs will go out from under me. So I will have to stop often to bend over to stretch it out. Still my legs feel very numb and i walk funny until, I don't know, the blood starts flowing better or something. I can't stand in one spot for very long until I have to sit down. Until my butt bones, tailbone and hamstrings start hurting. Its like a never ending cycle. Im 48 soon 49 and I spent the last 10 yrs hurting all the time. I don't know who to turn to. Been to my medical dr, chiropractors and message therapists. Do you have any, any advise or suggestions that you are able to offer me? Thanks a lot for this video, at least I know that I'm not the only person experiencing a similar condition. Just mine goes a little further down and with the agony a little bit longer. Thanks again
Hey kyle hope you’re doing well. My situation is just like you described. Had a L4-5 fusion a year ago and I’m 27. Did you get any help?
Hi, do you know if it is possible for a baseball player who has had spinal fusion to swing a bat with power again?
New sub! Your videos are dope af you know your shit
Chris Chris91 my dude!!! Thanks so much. Glad you like them!
Dude I have that exact thing going on..I had lower lumbar S1 L5..fusion.. having pain in my buttocks,, back of legs..
How many months post op would you do a treatment like this with more passive and active movements for someone less active and older?
I finally have the courage to let someone massage my back because 4 years ago I got a spinal surgery and my back is so sensitive. Ever since that I didn't let anyone to touch my back where it is very sensitive to me.
understandable. Start eith light touch, so that its non painful and gradually work up the pressure and build tolerance there. It is common for tissues to become hypersensitive after trauma/surgery. Key is re intorducing it slowly and should also raise your pain threshold in that area in general! Good luck!
@@themovementunderground2464 thank you so much.
Omg I need this kind of treatment in my life. What type of professional are you, so I know who to seek out? Are you a PT?
Many kinds of professionals can help. I am an athletic trainer by trade, but its not really about the credential as finding a quality, knowledgeable provder. Could be a chiro, PT, AT, Massage therapist. Choose someone who clearly knows their stuff, constantly seeks new education, and delivers a service you find value in. There is no wrong or right way to rehab, just varying degrees of right.
Man, learning so much. Thank you. I'm a myofascial therapist/bodyworker and now I'm inspired to learn the Graston and fascial movement taping. What is the lotion or lubrication your using?
I use biotone dual purpose massage cream and cocao butter for instruments.
I would be scared with the first crack.
I find myself nodding my head to you lol. I wonder have you ever heard of DISH syndrome? I had a cervical and thoracic laminectomy, and I have almost no movement at all in my spine. My tendons and ligaments are calcifing
I have heard of it...I read about it, but called forresteirs disease I think...But never worked with someone who has had it...It is my understanding that it is very rare, and many people who do have it don't necessarily display with symptoms. I would be extremely interested in trying to use my methods, as things like graston have been shown to stimulate collagen production in the connective tissues. It may be worth a shot...You can look up graston providers at grastontechnique.com . Did you have the laminectomies as a result of DISH? Interesting....All peoples tendons and ligaments begin to lose elasticity with age...the key is movement, and lots of it! Obviously your deck is a bit more stacked, but my advice would be the same...move. Move often within the ranges you have. Best of luck Tayna!!! I wish you all the best in your health and movement journey!
Yes, it is very rare and my specialists are unsure of why mine is progressing so quickly. Typically DISH patient is male and in like 70s. I've tried so many kinds of therapy, but I've never seen this technique. I am sure going to bring it up to my doctors. I had the surgery due to a bone spur growing inside of the spinal canal from c2 to t2 and it was compressing the cord itself. This grew within a year, as it was not on the previous MRI's. Every year I've had cervical, thoracic, and lumbar MRI's completed. My rheumatologist is at the University of Wisconsin and he wants to use my case to speak at their conference. Hopefully they ok a trial of this so I can see if it works help.
I would say the downside is extremely low. If it gives any kind of relief from the stiffness or discomfort, then it would be worth it. Best of luck with everything!!! Thanks for watching and for sharing your story with me!
do you agree with male athletes drinking pickle juice to help with cramps and did you/do you ever drink pickle juice?
Spinal fusion done 8 months ago and I still don’t feel right smh
Thats an extremely hard recovery that will take a long time. Best advice would be to keep moving, keep trying to improve your strength and stability, and keep you hips mobile. If you have mobility issues, which could lead to lumbar instability, and never had them address before surgery, you NEED to do that now, and honestly, forever. Its a process, not a destination, there is no quick fixes. Best of luck! Let me know if you want to do a virtual consult, and i can help you with programming to address underlying issues!
The Movement Underground trust me I’m doing everything they ask me to do, I’ve had this problem since 2015 and this is my 3rd procedure done and nothing, I know recovery is normally 6-8 months for spinal fusion but it’s the same feeling I’ve been dealing with for the almost 5 years
The Movement Underground I would definitely appreciate a virtual consult whenever you have time
Did anything changed? I’m 1 year post L4-5 fusion. Pretty much in same pain as before.
@@HypotheticalZ I’m a year and 3 months in after my last surgery which was the spinal cord stimulator but I definitely gotten worse that I have to wait and go see a different doctor for a second opinion because after 4 back surgeries I shouldn’t be feeling like this at all
where do you get those gloves?
Michael Lau Amazon. Skintx nitrile gloves
Why doesn't UK have this?
Where is the scar?
Right?
kickdog 69 lower back
Easy to see, especially at 6:38 or so.
Geeze Don't break the 12th rib, there's no tool replacement for the fingers
Nothing will ever work completely right since he's fused two bones together that are supposed to be separate. Everyone's answer to everything is to follow medicines ridiculous advice. And all PT do is follow up and try to make them manageable. The whole world has gone to pot. Yes make him look like he's wonderful and in great shape and will never have any more problems. Let me see him in 5 years
Elmnopen ... yea, I had my fusion surgery 10 yrs ago and still feel level 7 pain. I do pain management and eat healthy. 6'1 and 198 lbs. Still suxxxzz!!
