I need you advice my fellow enthusiasts.........

I am currently recovering from a successful, serious back operation and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on strengthening your back?? All replies may be beneficial to me, however simple or trivial you may think your reply may be.....Peace, love and respect to all members XxXxX

 

Whatever you do, take your time with it, slowly re-develop the muscles. Might be best to speak with a doctor or a chiropractor for best advice.

 

Sounds painful but I agree with Stephen. Hope your recovery is going well.

 

oh yeah, definitely agree with stephen, take your time and talk with the Dr....way tooimportant an area for you to take chances with.

 

I've not had my back operated on. Best to speak with qualified practitioners on this one mate.
Having said that, I do occasionally suffer from back pains caused by an injury sustained several years ago. What has helped me to managethe pain is retraining my body to move in ways in which it will not cause injury. I find Ninjutsu has helped alot.

 

My speciallist said I should stop with my training alltogether, he`d have been better asking me to gnaw off both my arms and legs!! I understand what he said, but thinking of Bruce Lee and his injury gives me soooooooo much hope!! After all I consider myself as a Warrior, and my spirit shall NEVER be defeated! Thanx Stephen for your input!! xxXxx

 

Aaaaw! Thanx my new found friend XXxXX

 

Thanx Madore, I will take your advice on boardXxX

 

Thanx, my well informed friend for your great advice! XXxxXX

 

Take your time and see if the physical therapist has any suggestions for you. I know when I injured my back, my PT was amazing at getting me back to my normal self. It took a while but she helped me so much.

 

Thanx so much for your reply Angie, but according to the speciallist and my PT the damage has already been done! I have been told to stop the training alltogether. But that advice never stopped Bruce Lee from making a comeback....so I will continue on this journey. Anyway I am a warrior I'll be back on the mend in no time....I hope, haha xxxxxXXXXxxxxxx

 

Don't loose hope. My jujitsu instructor actually could not walk after he injured his back and had to have surgery and he has had an amazing recovery. Keep talking to your doctor and find out when and what you can do. Don't over do it injuries take time to heal. I am still nursing my shoulder back to health it has been 6 or 7 months since I hurt it. I have just gotten back to where I can do 25 push-ups again! Luckily I have not needed surgery (yet).

 

Thanx for your reply, my friend. I appreciate it,!! It is just that I am inpatient, I really should consider myself lucky....a year ago I couldn't walk. Speciallists have advised me against going back to my training regime, even reconsider ever training again....but I can't no WON'T accept that! I understand I have to take my time , but warriors don't give in that easy!! All my love, peace and respect is sent to you MT DemersxxXXxx

 

Giving up is never an option but a change in course is. Patience is one of the hardest parts of the warrior heart to master. While you recover you can refocus your efforts to help others on their journey, no greater understanding of your art can be achieved than by teaching others. Mind, Spirit, and Body are the components of all Martial Arts if you cannot develop the body work on the others. I am an instructor in the TKD school I achieved my Black Belt through and there is no more of a roller coaster ride than teaching others. I wish you luck in your journey, pray for a quick recovery and I have great respect and admiration for you and your warrior spirit and heart.

 

Aaaw shucks that was such a wonderful reply!! I agree and I am studying what I can about the healing arts, and back to being an instructor when I recover. I look forward to chatting to you some more, but for now my friend I bid you goodnite and God BlessxxXXxxXXxx

 

Thank you. I look forward to hearing about your recovery. God Bless and goodnight.

 

Light swimming helped my friend alot.

 

Have you thought of bungee jumping? Only joking Deborah. x

 

Hahahahahaaaaaaa, Adam!!! Veeeeery funny But I have always wanted to do one my Calm Barbarian XXxxXX

 

My good wishes are with you. I would suggest you to practice hip bridge exercise. But make sure that you are not punishing yourself while doing it. Go slowly....
