❌ Stress increases inflammation (more pain)
❌ Stress increases fear, reduces physical activity, then leads to deconditioning (more pain)

Fear of pain is worse than pain itself.
If you avoid bending, you create a self-fulfilling prophecy where you tweak your back any time you try to bend, simply because you never practice it.
Move past the outdated myths. Overcome the fear of bending.
If you have low back pain or sciatica, graded exposure to full body mobility and strength is key.

What's the best way to do myofascial release for back pain or sciatica?
If I had a dime for every person who told me they had "muscle knots" or "adhesions" or "imbalances" or "tightness"...
First - your muscles are NOT in "knots"... That's a made-up thing.
You don't have to "release" anything. Not adhesions, not scar tissue... that's all an outdated myth.
Second - What does myofascial release (AKA self massage) actually DO?
✅ Short-term pain relief
✅ Short-term improvements in mobility
✅ Relaxation: Get you out of your fight/flight response (If done correctly)
Third - HOW should you do it?
➡️ Pick any spot that feels good
➡️ Don't worry about "releasing" your "imbalances" (that's not a real thing)
➡️ Breathe deeply and peacefully while doing it
➡️ Do NOT cause so much pain during self-massage that you tighten up. This triggers your fight/flight response, which is the opposite of what we're going for.
➡️ If it's relaxing, you're doing it right

🧘Mindful Minute For Chronic Pain: Box Breathing🧘
Chronic pain causes us to get stuck in a fear based fight or flight response.
We get overprotective. We guard. We limit our activities.
The body becomes tense and rigid. This creates more pain.
Remember to pause and learn to relax once in a while.
Box breathing is one of my favorite simple ways to break the fear-pain-stress cycle.
Save for when you need it!

Torture, or Treatment? 😳
Chronic pain makes us desperate, but I'm telling you, there's a much less painful way to recover from chronic low back pain or sciatica.
Lifestyle change. Graded exercise. Taking care of your mental health.
It takes work, but it works.

Share with someone who has a spine ✅
You've got a nice spine! Even if it's a little weird.
Even if you have disc degeneration, disc herniations, low back pain, and sciatica.
Even if you have too much or too little curvature, a pelvic tilt, or a short leg.
Guess what? So does everyone.
Rehab isn't about fear mongering, it's about lifestyle change.
