Activated the glutes/core and no back pain on my jog 👍🏻 had lower back pain for over a year too!

Thanks.I get lower back pain when I run on treadmill.Never experienced the same when I run outside though.Well explained.

ive watched a few of these videos and well, they make it seem a lot more complicated than i think the actual answer is--> keeping your abs tight as you run. that will naturally take pressure off of your back as your feet slam into the ground and bring your back into alignment... just, it's difficult to consciously flex your abs over a long run, or if you are playing a sport.

Just done that exercise after my run and I’m no longer in pain. Youre a legend thanks

[beesplaining]

This advice was excellent and definitely applies to me. Thanks so much.

Hi guys, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for uploading this video with all the incredible information and tips!
It really helped me a lot!

Running outside is what cause me so much back pain. I still get it when I run the treadmill, but it isn’t nearly as severe. My having short legs seems to be why everything is firing into the lowers part of my long torso. So frustrating....

I only strictly run outside and i run 8 to 10 miles 5 times a week and this morning my lower back hurt soooo much for about 5 miles until i numbed the pain and ran the 9 miles this never happened to me before.

This was such an informative video, thank you! I'm finally glad that I have answers as to why I have such horrible back pain lately.

great video! Awesome knowledge from Dr. Oliver, respect!

Dear Dr. Oliver: I am 81 years old. I hardly have enough strength to walk. However, recently, to catch the bus, I run about 100 mt. which caused me fatigue and lack of breath, I was gapping to catch my breath. Once inside the bus, I sat down and experienced an excruciating pain on the right side of my back. This pain was only on one side of my back. What could have been the reason of such awful pain?

My mummy has been suffering from back pain. It makes her life difficult, joint aid plus and also applied orthovita oil. She is fine.

[markforgainz]

Fun fact: you just finished running or working out and injured your lower back

[mr.potatosvlog]

I would love to know if I should use running as a form of excersize if I am prone to experiencing lower back pain

[roninkatana]

Honestly that was the best advice, god bless u guys.

[alllifematters]

Also running causes tight muscles in quads and adductors and psoas which pulls on the pelvis thereby pulling on lower back muscles. I didnt think about the glutes though thanks

[hawaiianrussian]

If I do minor 2-3 mile runs I’m fine, but every time I’ve done long 5-10 mile runs my lower back will be in agony a day or two later to the point where it hurts just to walk.

[themusketeer]

Wait what? I have searched for videos trying to explain how to run, and literally no one say to activate the glutes.. this blew my mind, i habe been running alot lately, and get really fast tired in the lower back. I am really fit, great core, sixpack, big muscles for a tiny guy, but man my lower back have been driving me crazy. Been trying to alter my hip tilt from really anterior, to using core muscles and pull it to posterior tilt, etc, but nothing has worked.. i will try this immediatly!

Dang ! I wasn't sure about what my
physiotherapist told me (In Dutch we say 'Kinesist') but seems he was dead on about my gluten being the root of my running-back-issue . thx for this video !
