2 years ago🔥 Spinal Mobility & Spinal Segmentation 👇🏼
I have been through 2 car accidents resulting in spinal injury (last one being nerve damage, muscle degradation & 3 herniated discs to name a few) & it both weren’t even big crashes, just 2 people on different occasions failing to stop & hitting the back on my car 🚗 (& the other time the back of a friends car I was in) something so quick that changed everything. The back pain wasn’t the only side effect:
- I had NO spinal movement 📏
- 3 Weeks no sleep & maximum pain killers 💊
- I was advised against weightlifting & spinal flexion altogether FOR LIFE 😱
- I was told it would only get worse & my movement would never return 😳
- I was told to have surgery & use stronger meds 😵
- I was also stubborn enough to go physio to physio, specialist to specialist, coach to coach until I found what I was looking for (eventually that was education & courses) 👨🎓
I now value the knowledge gained about Mobility Training & back pain so much, I actually am grateful for the experience, as much as it sucked 🫠
Truth is, no one can really know what YOU CAN & CANNOT DO….honestly, only you can know what you’re capable of & how far you’re willing to go. One or two diagnoses isn’t the be all and end all. Not always. Sometimes your gut will tell you to keep searching 🔎
All I can say is I’m no where near done studying or learning new movement yet! Not. Even. Close. 📚🙇🏽♀️
