The herniated disc program works by minimizing tensile load through the posterior (back) part fo the disc, where it herniates. This allows the disc to heal.

In addition the disc is loaded in a way that promotes tissue healing opposed to exacerbating pain and slowing down the healing process.

We know that with lower back pain related to a herniated disc there are trunk muscles that atrophy and stop working correctly. This is addressed with specific exercise programming.

Specific movement and positioning strategies that decrease disc compression and excessive loading are incorporated into your everyday routine.

Exercises are completed daily, making the program more effective.

Evidence Proving the Effectiveness of Exercise and Specific Exercise for Lower Back Pain

What works? Physical activity and exercise

• "The treatment that has the STRONGEST evidence behind it is actually Exercise."
• More proof of how effective exercise is compared to drugs, injections, and surgery

The Herniated Disc Program is designed to give you exercises, movements, and back healing principles PROVEN to work

This is not a one size fits all program. People with back pain have been shown to respond better to specific exercises, depending on what types of positions or movements make their pain better or worse. Matching your back pain with a specific exercise program reduces pain and improves function.
