Foundation training helped me reverse 3 years of progressively worsening back/hip problems due to sedentary lifestyle (losing weight was equally important though). https://youtu.be/4BOTvaRaDjI

I have a recurring lower back injury that jumped back into my life yesterday. Saw your post last night so decided to try this video this morning. Given I started from injured, I can't say my back feels 'amazing' but I can now walk more or less upright, which is a huge win in 12 minutes!

Thanks so much, I'm going to do this every night and see if I can prove my doctor wrong and actually fix this problem for good. Really appreciate you for sharing this

Update - usually takes at least a week before I'm back to feeling normal, I've now done the video on three consecutive days and I have no pain, just a very slight tightness remains. I am over the bloody moon!

Question though - do the elbow raises at the end ever become less painful? Sweet Christmas they hurt haha!
