In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last.

297. The Biggest Back Pain Myth, with Raphael Bender 30:52

16天之前30:52

30:52

Probably everything you were taught in your certification about back pain is wrong. Lifting heavy doesn’t wreck your spine. “Bad posture” isn’t the cause. Avoiding movement? That’s likely making things worse. In this episode, we break down the myth that spinal load and “incorrect movement” cause low back pain. We’ll cover: Why research shows no strong link between lifting and chronic back pain. The biopsychosocial factors that matter far more than technique. How Pilates instructors can help clients move with confidence, not fear. References mentioned in the episode: Insufficient Evidence for Load as the Primary Cause of Nonspecific (Chronic) Low Back Pain. A Scoping Review here Should Exercises Be Painful in the Management of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain?

294. The case for loaded spinal flexion, with Raphael Bender 19:07

5 weeks之前19:07

19:07

Why are we still hanging on to the idea of neutral spine in the Pilates world? It's not even part of Pilates, and it's certainly not science-based. Plus, it's just plain illogical. Resources mentioned in the episode: You can bias lower abs from upper abs by doing posterior pelvic tilt vs ab curl here People with LBP lift with LESS flexion in their lumbar spine here There was low-quality evidence that greater lumbar spine flexion during lifting was not a risk factor for LBP onset/persistence or a differentiator of people with and without LBP here Spine posture in general has not been shown to be a causal factor in LBP according to a systematic review of systematic reviews in 2020 here Connect with me on Instagram : @the_raphaelbender Download a free course guide: Pilates Certification Visualized Anatomy This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: AdBarker - https://adbarker.com/privacy…
