I recently herniated a disc in my lumbar spine and went from not being to dress myself --- to seven days later running 5km.
In this video, I share my low back rehab program, that I used to fix my slipped disc, as well as what I did in the gym to get me back from rehab-based movements to performance-based exercises.
FYI: this video is my own personal journey and is intended to educate. If you have low back pain, please see a health care professional.
