.

You've been conditioned to avoid bending, lifting, twisting, and stressing your low back. I get it - you've got the proof! You've had so many flare-ups that it's perfectly natural to become protective.

.

Unfortunately, this over-protective behavior make it MORE likely to have flare-ups down the road. This is because fear of pain changes behavior, leading to weakness, atrophy, sedentary life, more stress, and more flare-ups.

.

To fix pain, we need to overcome fear. To overcome fear, we need both stress reduction AND gradual exposure to exercise to strengthen the body and reduce hypersensitivity and overprotective muscle guarding.
