slipped disc / disc herniation

[kenjitzu]

Hi guys, i got my MRI results already and i was diagnosed to have a herniation in the S1 region (lower lumbar area). I'm currently undergoing a PT rehab (4x/week) and along with that, I'm taking the prescribed meds and taking supplements as well. how long should I wait before I can go back to BJJ/wrestling training? my doc already gave me a go signal that I can go back to working out in the gym provided that I don't do squats and dead-lifts or any exercise that would require me to bend while lifting weights. ano yung mga alternatives na pwede ko gawin and may alam ba kayo na gym exercises for slipped disc? TIA

ouch sorry to hear that. balikan mo doc mo, if you can show him vids of the drills we do, then good. baka kasi hindi niya alam ang scope ng practice ng grappling eh, di naman mainstream dito sa pinas yan. so malamang konti pa lang ang pasyente niyang grappler. show him vids or describe to him/her what we do, para mabigyan ka ng specific timeframe. wag kang mahiyang gawin yun, it's your spine and sport at stake. if i may suggest someone who's treated a lot of my teamates and consequently may know of what we do, check your inbox.
