New episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out now: PROTOCOLS TO STRENGTHEN & PAIN PROOF YOUR BACK - On the episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out now, I explain how to strengthen and build a stable, pain-free back and how to reduce or eliminate existing back pain. - I explain the basic anatomy and physiology of the spinal cord and vertebrae, intervertebral disks and nerve pathways, and the abdominal and back muscles that together can be leveraged to stabilize the back. - Then, I describe protocols including: “McGill’s Big 3” exercises, a highly effective psoas stretch, abdominal stabilization, breathing techniques, and protocols to reinforce essential supports for the back, including the neck, pelvis, feet, and toes. - I also explain how you can reduce and potentially eliminate back pain and sciatica using a specific type of bar hang, “cobra push-ups,” medial-glute strengthening exercises, and more. - A video tutorial accompanies the episode at Huberman Clips which demonstrates all the exercises as well. - Back pain greatly impedes one’s ability to enjoy daily activities; this episode provides zero-cost, minimal time-investment protocols to improve your back strength and stability and allow you to move through life pain-free and with ease and mobility. - To access the episode in all formats please go to hubermanlab.com It’s timestamped in detail so you can navigate quickly to the topic of interest to you. - Meanwhile, please put any questions in the comments section below this post and as always, thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford - #neuroscience #science #ciencia #neurociencia #back #strength #spine #vertebrae #sciatica #relief #pain #ease
