How to exercise with lumbar disc herniation. Patients with lumbar disc herniation should pay attention to the following points if they want to exercise. First, ample preparation is necessary; only with sufficient preparatory work before exercising can injury be avoided during the workout. Second, it is advisable to wear a lumbar belt as much as possible. As an important orthopedic support, the lumbar belt helps to brake and protect the waist, and it limits the amount and range of lumbar spine movement to prevent injuries. The third point is that exercises for lumbar disc herniation should primarily focus on strengthening the muscles of the lower back, specifically exercises like the single bridge, double bridge, large and small swallow movements. By strengthening the back muscles, such as the erector spinae and the multifidus muscles, the stability of the lumbar spine can be enhanced, significantly reducing the risk of further aggravation of the lumbar disc herniation.
