What it concludes

• 50% of 40-year-olds and 70% of 60-year-olds have a disc bulge while being completely asymptomatic.
• Avoid static stretching for acute low back pain because flexing, bending, or twisting and holding the position can cause tissue creep of the disc or ligaments.
• Activating stabilizing muscles around the low back, pelvis, and hips tells the brain it is safe to release muscle tightness and stiffness.
• Performing specific activator exercises can reduce pain levels by several notches without static stretching.
