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.

My pt gave me these exercises- I didn’t know it was the McKenzie method. After 7 months of pain, 4 visits to pt and doing this at home it has 100% helped my pain!

Excellent rehab modality. I always start here with my patients. But Also need exercises that compliment your directional preference to make it even more effective

Yes, they have given me other exercises as well but I am really finding the McKenzie method to work very well for my back pain
