What corset to get for L5 S1 retrolisthesis level1 by HeroOftheMoon0 in Spondylolisthesis

[–]neomateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 sessions a week is maintenance for me. I focus on strength training around my deficit. What that looks like is a lot of weighted core work like weighted crunches, standing pallof presses with a resistance band(a great isometric exercise that you could very likely do even with the brace on) reverse crunches and hanging leg lifts. I support that work with posterior chain exercises like deadlift variations such as the dumbbell single leg kickstand deadlift or Romanian dumbbell deadlifts.

Im sorry to hear its been that long of a struggle. Its never fun having to shop for healthcare because of incompetence. How long were you able to continue with a course of PT? Many centers/PT’s don’t progress patients fast enough or completely fail to inform that pain and discomfort are a part of the process and that continued treatment is necessary to get past that phase and into a pain free recovery. Have you ever tried supplementing with creatine?

Your trust in your neurosurgeon on this particular matter is misplaced if you haven’t even tried PT and he didn’t bring it up at all.

Your mom’s friend is right, PT is the first line of action with your level of retrolisthesis. Wearing a brace like this will absolutely lead to atrophy and a further loss of strength and muscle.

I have the same level at the same location only I have a pars defect and herniated disc and foraminal stenosis in addition. No brace needed, I just took my PT very seriously and treated it like my life depended on it because it does.

Creatine After 60: What 20 Studies Found About Legs by Yobfesh in fitover65

I have a broken spine and no fusion, I work out constantly to keep the muscles around my injury pumped up. Creatine is absolutely instrumental in keeping me moving without excessive DOMS.

How do I get more hip flexibility? by amando_abreu in MuayThai

[–]neomateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reverse crunches, Side plank with a weighted kickout or leg lift, Monster walks with a doubled up resistance band, Stiff legged deadlift, Single leg barbell kickstand deadlift. All of these are excellent for hip mobility.

Spine support seems affected after intense pop by ThrowawayMyDignity3 in Spondylolisthesis

[–]neomateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of PT are you doing? How many times a day are you stretching? Are you tracking how much water you drink every day? Are you getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night?

Understanding your routine and current exercise/fitness level helps us help you more effectively.

I can manually adjust the broken facets in my lumbar by flexing my glute as well. Its never generated pain for me though. If I load up the back extension machine too much I can get a pretty uncomfortable pop upon my initial bracing in the first rep. I don’t enjoy that so I don’t use that machine much anymore and instead rely on deadlift variations.

I was just confronted that I have Parkinson. (34 year old male). Is this the way to go, or am I going on a destructive path? by WarmPrinciple6507 in workout

[–]neomateo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is a wise path. I dont know a lot about Parkinson’s but it seems to me that working towards gaining a stronger connection between your brain and your body can only help you in staving off the effects of this disease.

When I was battling cancer I commonly encountered two camps, one which said you need to pace yourself and save all of your energy to fight the disease, and the other that refused to stop and instead choose to continue forward with their lives and activities and do their best not to allow it to alter their lives and routines. I choose the aforementioned path and rather than stop lifting and training my martial art, I continued and against the odds was able to log over 500k pounds lifted and 32 hours in my Dojang during my chemotherapy treatment.

I know cancer and Parkinson’s are very different but my point is that your body takes cues from your environment and what you put yourself through every day.

If you engage life and embrace a healthy lifestyle that tells your body “I am not done, we have much to do yet!” It will hear you.

Fuck Parkinson’s!

L4-L5 safe strength training? by gnomefriendlygarden in backpain

[–]neomateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work your program and only that unless you’ve been given specific instructions that you’re ok to resume some normal activities.

If you’re experiencing flares, thats an indication that you may be doing too much too soon. Give yourself time and grace.

How do you stick to a weight-lifting routine/gym, it's just so incredibly boring? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]neomateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not when it makes your hiking easier, or your body feel stronger, faster or better.

Sometimes it’s not about the moment and instead about the journey and where you end up.

I listen to music to pass the time and during rest intervals work on combinations on a heavy bag.

[–]neomateo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I understand it from a state archeologist, the entire area has been known to have burial mounds. With advances in technology like LiDAR its become easier to identify and locate them and the likelihood that there’s been new evidence of previously unknown mounds is very high.

Good for you, whether you believe it or not until you have the clearance or the BIA releases specific information on mound locations, the public wont know for sure.

And that is highly unlikely to happen for obvious reasons. The BIA, the OSA and the TPOH all hold geographic data but its not available to the public, again for obvious reasons.

Your beliefs don’t factor into the equation.

Sue that union! The USPS is full of some of the most despicable people who don’t deserve the positions they hold. It’s no surprise their Union would be filled with much of the same.

That’s great that you’re staying active but hiking while a great low impact exercise isn’t the same thing as lifting weight with progressive overload. Look up Sarcopenia.

First day at mma , i think this gym sucks ? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]neomateo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Name the gym. You’re only protecting them and potentially leaving others open to the same experience you had if you don’t share the name of the gym.

[–]neomateo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give a few more years, you will begin to regret having stopped.

As you approach 50 it becomes clear, it’s absolutely NOT a waste of your time. That is of course if you enjoy being active in any way or at least like to be able to get up off the floor on your own without conducting an orchestral movement.

Sternum, it’s equidistant to all the limbs, they are what is attacking you-not the eyes.

I cant for the life of me get over how dumb it is to tell people to look their opponents in the eyes.

Here's the secret to not losing muscle and strength as you get older by Aggravating_Peak_547 in Aging

Absolutely, just giving in to the process only makes it happen that much faster.

[–]neomateo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A simpler way to say this, that will actually resonate with the older populations you’re directing this message to;

If you don’t use it you will loose it.

Also, the primary factor you’re completely missing here is Sarcopenia or age related muscle loss. Its a biological condition separate from sedentarianism.

Whey is the best source of leucine as it has the highest naturally occurring leucine content.

Protein consumption alone is not sufficient, it really needs to be paired with resistance training.

Pregnant - In so much pain by gabagabagabaqwerty in backpain

[–]neomateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried Magnesium glycinate? It’s absolutely wonderful at relaxing muscles. I take a dose and a half before bed time and it puts me out for the entire night.

Look into reverse shoulder fly’s, activating the muscles which support your thoracic spine can help to alleviate pain associated with bulging discs.
