Does your lower back hurt in the morning, but then it goes away? An important signal from your lo...
Lower back pain in the morning, stiffness after sleep, and starting pain are common and frightening, but can actually be important clues from your body.
In this video, Irina Gennadyevna Ocheretina, PhD, explains why morning pain is often better than pain that worsens throughout the day, and the reasons behind this.
💡 If you want to understand exactly what's happening with your lower back, why it hurts, and what steps really help, we recommend attending the webinar
"Point of Life: A Healthy Lower Back"—there we'll take a detailed look at how muscles, blood vessels, and movement affect your back and how to develop a sound recovery strategy. 👉 Link to the broadcast - https://ocheretina.com/go/yt3001

Morning discomfort is often caused by muscle tension and trigger points, which prevent tissue from healing overnight.
Movement in the morning stimulates blood flow, reduces ischemia, and the pain subsides. This is fundamentally different from pain associated with existing injuries.
In this video, you'll learn:
— what starting pain is and why doctors "like" it
— how trigger points prevent the lower back from recovering overnight
— the dangers of muscle "clamping"
— when pain decreases with movement—and why
— a simple and safe exercise you can do in the evening
📌 Video tips:
Walking on all fours for 10-20 minutes in the evening is a gentle way to relieve tension, improve blood flow, and help the lower back recover overnight.
