Easy to say. What if you can't keep your hips in contact with the pad when your arms are fully extended? I just can't keep my hips from rising to a considerable height above the surface. Do I just have to do my best while hoping that someday I will be able to do the exercise in the prescribed way? (Fri Jul 1, 2022)

Mckenzie's lumbar extension exercises are based on old technology and worsen my back pain. Putting your lumbar spine into extension decreases the size of the spinal canal, which causes more pain and irritation to the spinal nerves. Concentrate on flexion exercises, and the lumbar extension will gradually improve on its own. McKenzie's exercises made my condition exponentially worse.

I'm very confused at the repetitions and holding times. You say to hold each for 5 to 10 minutes, and do 10 repititions each, and repeat ever two hours. If I hold each rep of each stretch for 10 minutes, that's over 6.5 hours for ONE cycle.

Can I begin this while I have the back pain or I should wait till pain relieves and start this?

Is this exercise also good and for spondylosithesis and bulging disc?

Take this shtt down. You can’t be advising patients with hernia to hold these positions for 5 to 10 minutes for 5 reps.
