Lumbar Disc bulges in the spine are a lot more common than you think.
There are times when a disc bulge may contribute to a person's pain experience.
In fact, the more extensive the bulge (including a ruptured disc), the BETTER IT HEALS!
So if you've found out you have a disc bulge in your spine, your chances of recovery are great (even if a repeat MRI shows it's still there!)

Here we show just a few options of exercises that may help for people who tend to have worsening symptoms with rounding (flexion) of the spine (think sitting, bending over, etc), which is typically associated with what is classically referred to as "discrelated low back pain" with potential leg pain referral.

They include repeated or sustained BACK BENDING (extension) of the low back, limiting time sitting while walking more often, adjusting your seated position when you have to sit, and then adding in strengthening of the posterior chain (back side of the body, including back, glutes, hamstrings):

1. Prone Press Up
2. Prone Hip Extension over Pillow with knee best
3. Standing Back Bends with Towel
4. Quadruped Bird Dog
