🔵 Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have had a great week. In today’s post, we have 5 interesting facts to share with you about the discs in your lower back:

1️⃣ Healing: Herniated discs regress under nonsurgical management in 67% of cases, recover almost completely in 96% of cases. Get it Treated!

2️⃣ Loading: “We are born to move” - the discs of runners and other athletes are more hydrated and less degenerated than those of inactive people. Keep moving!

3️⃣ Inactivity: Inactive people show more narrow lumbar intervertebral discs and more pronounced degeneration compared to that of active people. Time to get moving!

4️⃣ Degeneration: Degenerated discs are more related to genes than mechanical stress. Don’t read too much into your scans!

5️⃣ Strength Training: Intensive strength training is theorised to promote regenerative processes of disc injuries or pathologies. Start/Keep Training!
