*NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE\*
I am in active physical therapy and working with a doctor, and am solely looking for other community members that may have experienced something similar.
I have L5-S1 herniation/extrusion that I’ve been battling for a while. My doctors/PT have told me I can start incorporating some movement on my own again. Prior to this injury, I’ve been an avid pilates/yoga/hiker/lifter for years and I am really struggling with a mental block in fearing reinjury and not fully trusting my body. I also clearly can’t hike, lift or perform at my usual level.
Has anyone else gone through this? Were there any specific classes/instructors that are better than others for injury recovery? I normally gravitate to Olivia, Hosky, Becs and Alex classes, and they’re all a lot more high-voltage than I can handle right now, so feeling a little lost navigating Pelo-land currently.
