re: Anyone heal their herniated disc?

I have a herniated L5-S1 from an accident. Never had sciatica, but couldn’t sit for more than 20 minutes without considerable pain. Had trouble sleeping and just existing. I started off walking a lot, then incline walking on treadmill, then ‘running’ on the elliptical, then lots core and mobility work (hips & shoulders), then progressed to lifting (no deadlifts).


That was maybe 4 years ago. I have virtually no restrictions today and no pain. I am much more conscious of my back and don’t do stupid shite anymore, but I’m not physically prevented from doing much.
