disks

[Jay76]

What are good exercises to do to help one recover from 2 herinated disks. Its one of my buddys. I think its in the "L" Region of his back. His therapy does not seen to help him to much. He has been there for 2 months.

Any suggestions?

Wow, this a major "can o worms". In fear of sounding like "cop out", it's incredibly hard to say without being able to see him in person.

A great start if you want to help him from an informed perspective would be reading Lower Back Disorders by Stuart McGill, awesome book and somewhat of a myth buster.

Best of luck,
Matt

Jason,

Tell your friend to join the forum if he's interested in help. It's always dangerous to seek out advice for another.

My opinion....

Has he told his therapists and physician that he is dissatisfied with his progress?

That is the first step.

Then as Coach suggested, it may be more helpful if he were to post here and describe his situation in his own words.

Hope he feels better.
