Hey, this is Eric Wong and I’m a strength and conditioning coach who’s been helping people get fit and athletes get in peak shape for the past 10 years.
I know exactly what it’s like to be put out by back pain – to have to sit on the sidelines and watch life p you by as you tend to your sore, aching back.
You’ve probably heard a lot of hype and outrageous claims about ‘miracle cures’, so I want to share the truth with you as I discovered it just over 4 years ago.
So let’s start from the top – here’s a pic of the scar that’s still leftover from a major operation I had over 14 years ago:
In the middle of the night my parents and sister Fran drove me an hour from Hamilton to Toronto Sick Kids hospital for an emergency procedure.
The treatment was a success, and I was treated to days of recovery (and weird hallucinations while on morphine) in the hospital…
Unfortunately, the second surgery was more invasive than the first, as the doctors had to cut through fascia and muscle to get to the root of the problem.
Needless to say, I was left with a few biomechanical problems that made back pain a regular occurrence – despite the fact that I got back in great shape, worked out regularly and I was doing everything ‘right’…
Luckily, even in high school, I understood that painkillers didn’t do anything for the problem, they only addressed the symptoms, so I chose to put up with the pain instead of pop the pills.
I kept up with sports and started lifting weights and my condition improved, but I still had pain that I felt I shouldn’t have and it made me miss out on the thing I’d loved the most – sports.
The thing is, I would still get back pain, so this was still just a band-aid solution, not the cure that I hoped for.
I then finished high school and enrolled at the University of Waterloo where, as luck would have it, I studied under the top low back researcher in the world, Dr. Stuart McGill.
I gained a wealth of knowledge that helped to drastically reduce the frequency and duration of my back pain…
His presentation blew me away, so much so that over the next 2 years I spent another $10,000 + to learn from him…
I gained even more practical knowledge that reduced the frequency of my pain even more, but I still had to deal with the frustration of having to deal with pain, stiffness and spasms from time to time.
I was quite happy with where my back was and it wasn’t until I started training high-level mixed martial arts fighters that I stumbled upon the final piece of the puzzle that has led to the last 4+ years of my life to be 100% pain-free.
So after tens of thousands of dollars, over 10 years of study, training and observation, here’s what I discovered…
Your back doesn’t go because of a simple action like bending over to tie your shoes or play with your kids.
It’s an ac ulation of stress from multiple different causes – a simple thing like bending over was just the straw that broke the donkey’s back, so to speak…
The key is to address all of the causes of stress on your spine and in doing so, you’ll finally be free from back pain…
Even if your back pain started from a major accident, fall, or stupid move (we’ve all done it at some point), to get back to 100%, you need to make sure there’s no excessive stresses going through your spine.
Unfortunately, with the spine – it’s not as simple as carpal tunnel in that you just take a break from typing since you use your back for everything that you do!
So let’s use a car ogy to see the different ways that repe ive stress causes back pain and what we need to do to address these issues to eliminate our pain…
Your spine is like the tires on your car and how fast they wear is directly related to the amount of stress put through them…
Once you align your body, forces will be evenly distributed through your body so no area wears out pre ly, so essing and addressing your posture and muscular imbalances is crucial to freeing yourself from back pain.
Well the movement patterns that many people have during exercise, sport and their daily lives are WRONG and cause increased stress on the spine resulting in pre wear too.
This is just like the people with back pain whose deep stabilizer muscles of the core have been shut off and no longer function properly to stabilize the core, forcing…
