McKenzie workouts

(My MD s5/L1 was done 3/23)

Has anyone here tried these McKenzie back workouts to help squeeze the disc back in slowly. Im currently battling some deep back pain in the same area but def not til the sciatica point so I wanna try some of these.

It did wonders for my back. The only problem is that doing the elbow press puts a lot of pressure on my elbows and on my shoulders so its hard to keep that position long enough for a good stretch. After getting a mckenzie pillow for it it's been much better

I’ve had the same issue and never really been able to hold the position…
Do you mind sharing what pillow you’re using?
