Why is exercise important after having a herniated disc?
Exercise is important after a herniated disc because your disc is healed through exercise. After 1.7-7 days, the disc is ready to begin repairing itself. The best way to trigger the fibers of the disc is through rotation. You can do this by lying on your side and rotating your upper body back and forth, or seated rotating side to side. It is important to perform these exercises through guidance from a physical therapist to ensure you are ready for them. For more information, check out http://www.ptlincoln.com. Thanks!
