Back Pain: One Size Does Not Fit All.
Back Pain: One Size Does Not Fit All!
Back Pain is a collection of specific problems that all require specific tools and solutions.
"What might be medicine to one person, could be absolute poison to the next" - Prof Stuart McGill
Here I look at using passive extension as a tool that will help a disc bulge/herniation to heal.. BUT would aggravate someone with stenotic sciatica...and also be a problem for someone with over-used hip flexors.
REMEMBER...There is no such thing as "Non-Specific Back Pain".
All back pain is specific.... And every problem requires a specific solution.

    I have a herniated disc in my lower back, the fourth and fifth vertebrae, for a long time. With the passage of time, the pain went away, but for a month now I have been suffering from a new pain type , which is when I sit for a period of time and I cannot stand up quickly, with pain at the hip and pain behind the back, as if it were kidney pain. Is this related to a herniated disc or is it due to another reason?

    This exercise is too hard for people who are unable to get down on their knees. I have edema. Kneeling makes my legs feel painfully squished and if I can get down, I might not be able to get back up.

      Short answer is it depends....it will be easier to get a better contraction in the glutes...but it comes at the expense of sacrificing spinal integrity...which is fine if you want a bendy, twisty and supple spine.... terrible if you want a spine able to bear compressive load...also genetic variations in disc shape (limacon vs ovoid) will also come into play.

    My doctor recommended me to do curl up exercise not mcgrill curl up.. But i feel difficult while performning normal curl up as it osllis pressurising my back while I rise upper body from floor. Can i replace by normal curl ups with mcgrill curl up??

      Yep...just be sure to use the brace like a dial, not an on/off switch. Only engage what you can accurately and safely without irritating the lower back.
