Hi everybody
I have been always told to be extra careful when practising strong forward bends/back bends because I have a slipped disc.I would say that it is a good advice(better be safe than sorry) but on the other hand I guess that it is a very broad advice and I am sure that from the medical and anatomical point of view has to be more to be said.So I always asked the same question to the few teachers I practised with and none was able to answer the following question:
When it comes to forward bends/back bends a slipped disc,for instance, on l1-l2 would be as bad as on l4-l5.By the way my slipped disc is on l1-l2.
thanks in advance
