Yoga twice a week will help 

Been told Pilates

Get a sports massage every few months, seems to prevent my backache, then when I forget to go for 12 months it returns.

Professionally speaking I’d do yoga first to make you more flexible then Pilates to strengthen the muscles

Was brilliant. 10pm til 3 in afternoon. Felt brand new after it. But when I was on pregab I would sleep 12 hours not a probs most nights. Although I sleep 10 hours a night most nights now and if I get less than that I make it up another night so 70 hours minimum per week kip. 😁

😂 not quite mate. Just love my sleep. And need it to function 

I do enjoy an 8 hour sleep but can get by on 6 

Second child on the way I can kiss 6 hour kips away 

My L5-S1 disc decided to pop out a bit about 12 years ago

After years of misdiagnosis of torn muscles, endless physio, needles in my back, drugs, none of which worked, finally I had confirmation that it was a prolapsed disc

I can shift a massive settee, move a fridge freezer and shovel tons of gravel no problem. The last few times it’s gone I’ve dipped a paint brush in a tin of paint, picked up an empty shampoo bottle out of the shower and stupid shit like that

Best advice I’ve had is to strengthen my core. Start off swimming and yoga. Been hammering the pool and doing yoga exercises. Next step is a personal trainer for the gym with exercises based on avoiding stress on the area where the issue is but building strength around it. Working well so far. Wish I’d had better advice years ago because now my back feels quite strong

Swimming and Yoga will do wonders for that. I have a 18 yr old on my books at the moment and he’s done a disc in his neck I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I’ve got two prolapsed in my neck. Awful 

Yes mate. Joined The Village Hotel gym a year or so ago. Not had the courage to use the gym as I’m petrified about popping the disc again. The more I swim though the more I feel I’m gaining strength around my lower back. And even though I feel like an utter twat doing the yoga exercises it really does help

I hate treating anything with the neck because there’s so many nerve endings and little bones. Invest in expensive firm pillows, v shaped ones are good. Work that core strength to improve your posture

I got laughed at when I put yoga into rehab program people we’re really reluctant, it’s one of the reasons footballers in their 30’s are still incredibly fit 

No less than 8 hours for me. Can piss 10 if I have the chance. Need it for the daily assault. 

In my drinking days Id struggle to get 5. Conviced myself I couldnt sleep without beer though 🤦‍♂️

Quality of sleep on ale is zilch.

Wrong thread

Edited by peelyfeet

Wife had this after having our littlun. Physio appointments and new insoles seem to have sorted it all out.

Not half.

8 hours minimum. Feel shit in the morning if its broken or too short. 

Can easily nod off after a decent lunch too. :)
