5/2/2023 0 Comments Box squat without a boxIf you have a disc injury, we’re trying to get you out of rounding your back and help make sure you’re using your hips to get you in and out of a chair. We’ll be using many of the same principles we talked about in the Hip Hinge post to execute a proper box squat. Our goal with this exercise is to make sure you have a strategy that is pain free and relieves some of the pain you may be experiencing. As you go throughout your day to day, simple activities like getting in and out of a chair can be very painful. If this is you, you probably have a lot of pain bending forward. Patients in our clinic are often given this exercise after an appointment to take back to their Crossfit or other gym or in response to acute low back pain as a way to get in and out of your car and to get on and off a chair. Even so, this is a good refresher of the mechanics of the movement to review and make sure you’re not slipping into bad habits. If you’re a regular at the gym, you should already have a good handle on the proper form for box squats. This is Part 2 of 4 in the Spinal Hygiene Series.
