You don't have the capacity to push now. If I go into pain, I'm in pain for a few days, not an hour. So you're cautious. Yeah. And older people will get to that point.

Okay. So they've got mechanical back pain. They've got neurological involvement if it's shooting down the leg. How old are they? Early 50s, maybe in their 40s or older. Okay. It's a big range. So they will have some discogenic disorder. There's a disorder of the joint and it will be causing the nerve to react in such a way.

Ah, okay, so they have a younger spine because discogenic disorders are more common among younger people and sitting is the causative pathway, going for a walk is the relieving pathway, but that will switch over when they get older. Is that right? Yeah, sitting becomes the relief and walking then becomes the exacerbator of their pain. Well, again, I need to know with some precision

what the pathway is. But if they have neurological parts, I need to know why, what makes them worse. So I might have them sit upright in a chair, grab the seat pan of the chair and pull up. I'm adding compression. Does that cause more nerve radiation? If it does, they've got a little bit of compression intolerance. Okay, so now I have to choose an exercise that is not compressive by nature.

Okay, so now I have to choose an exercise that is not compressive by nature.

If I move the nerve, so if I extend their leg at the same time, ask them to look up, it releases the whole spinal cord and all the nerve roots from above and it pulls it from below. In other words, it flosses it through. If that causes pain as they're doing it, they've got nerve friction. If they do it and it's tensile tension, then it's nerve tension.
