Simple kitchen exercises for degenerative disc disease and back pain #osteoarthritis

Lots of standing causing stiffness?

With degenerative disc disease and back arthritis- it can be common to experience pain and/or stiffness when standing for a while and exercise may be the last thing you want to do 😵‍💫

But- simple and supported movements with the kitchen counter can be extremely powerful for relief ✅

The important thing is to make sure they feel good to you ☝🏽

Each one of these movements may not feel perfect to you but choosing one to get started with can get you some relief so you can enjoy the holidays, friends/family, pets, whatever it may be! 😇

Doing up to 10 receptions of the movements that feel good to you can stretch your muscles out, get your blood flowing to pump out the irritated cells, and give you just a little more energy ♥️

If you’re looking for more arthritis friendly movements to make your muscles and joints feel good- the Arthritis Adventure Blueprint is packed with 14 follow along workouts with me starting with seated and moving to standing, weights, and even some higher impact ✅

The Arthritis Adventure Blueprint includes a one on one mini session with me ONLY with courses purchased before 12/27/22. This is the only place to get a one on one session with me at this time ☝🏽

I played Simon sez and did this in my sweet kitchen this morning, although you forgot to say Simon sez, i knew what you meant...😊 and, btw, thanks so much for these brilliant shorts that have helped me so much by using these little moments of time in between tasks! I was recently diagnosed with 4th lumbar vertebrae misalignment and was so despondent, feeling really down and in pain. You give me hope! You're remarkable...❤

What excercise do you have for disc in upperback please help me i hate pain and tightness

[DZN]

The entire weight of the body can shift to the lower back during a squat, placing too much stress on the lumbar spine, which can aggravate disc herniation or ddd according to my surgeon
