Don't let some weak-willed fatties on Amazon discourage you from at least looking into this.

Lmao fatties on amazon.

So does he give exercises to do and or avoid and stretches?? Or is it a mental thing as some made it out to be?

Check this article out. 600K back surgeries a year, and there's no proof they even work. In fact, they can make you worse.

A lot of us on here know to question the prevailing medical orthodoxy on all kinds of issues. This should be one of them.

Don't think for a second I would rather get surgery or see a dr if I can do something for it myself via exercises, stretching, yoga, mobility work etc.
Doing that was the only thing that got me back on my feet!

Found this online in which one guy contrasts an exercise routine program (McKenzie) with Sarno's approach. BTW, he says Sarno's healed him.

Like the McKenzie method, Sarno also doesn’t believe you should stop doing physical activity when you experience back pain. In fact, he recommends the exact opposite. But where he differs is that he believes you should stop all forms of physical therapy, and he recommends this only because he believes physical therapy is a psychological impediment to you believing that it’s all in your mind. After all, if you really believed it was all in your mind, then why would you need physical therapy? So even though he believes there are some benefits to physical therapy (for example, massages, which increase oxygen to your muscles, which reduces pain), he thinks the psychological detriments outweigh the immediate physical benefits. Sarno would almost certainly recommend against doing any of the McKenzie exercises, as doing so would be admitting to yourself that you pulled your muscle.

Sounds crazy, I know. But i tried all these routines and always wound up with back pain again. Since adopting he Sarno's approach I haven't had a problem and it has been years.

I understand the fundamentals of a positive perspective but not admitting that you have an injury to prevent further injuries, or the manifestation of an original injury is like avoiding the doctor when you have brain tumor, God forbid you know for sure because once you do, your dead.

Re: Back rehab and mobility work!

It's more than "positive thinking." Dr. Sarno is no broscientist, unlike most of the people we see who are peddling cures for lower back pain. He went to Columbia medical school, taught at NYU medical school, and was head of the Rusk Institute. This is a legit guy.

As a spinal surgeon he operated on people who had legit spinal injuries needing this kind of medical treatment - but most do not.

According to Dr. Sarno, there's no need for any specialized routine for your back. You can do whatever you want but it's not likely to have any impact on you long term. He does say that after an acute attack, which is what you had, that you should do whatever it takes to get better, e.g., stretching, muscle relaxants, etc. So whatever is working for you right now, keep doing it.

Dr. Sarno's approach is mental. He believes lower back issues, if they are recurrent, as mine were, are caused mostly by mental stress. If you're a Type A personality you're likely to be more susceptible. This may be one of the reasons why so many high profile people swear by him.

TBH, if you don't have recurrent lower back issues you really don't need to explore this any further.

Re: Back rehab and mobility work!

As some of u know I've been out of commission with a jacked back for almost a full week now. I've tweaked my back before but nothing like this. It's truly been the worst week of my life. I was literally bed riden at points and helpless.

I tried the usual things like inversion table, massage, heat, Epsom salt baths, accupunturist, Chiropractor.

The chiro got me back on my feet and somewhat human again, but I was still super stiff and not myself.

Orange on here hooked me up with this epic joe defranco mobility 11 program and it's seriously transformed my quality of life these past 2 days. It's almost hard to believe how huge of an improvement I made doing this a few times yesterday and today.

I'm going to use it for the rest of my life 3-5 times a week.

If u suffer from low back pain and limited rom and flexibility in your legs, hips, groin. I can not recommend this highly enough!!

Luckily I already had a lacrose ball and foam roller. If not get em guys. They are invaluable tools.

Enjoy! Thank orange!

This hurts...I can't make it through it, going to work on it daily until I do, I know it is the reason for my back & abdominal issues. Thanks Iggy & Orange for the video, now to conquer it.
