Hamstring Mystery Solved Nerve Referral and Core Stability (Dr Dawne)

Are you dealing with persistent hamstring pain that just won't seem to go away, even with stretching or traditional treatments? Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! Today, we're joined by Dr. Dawne, who will help us solve the 'Hamstring Mystery' by exploring two often-overlooked culprits: nerve referral and core stability.

3 Top Low Back Strengthening Exercises? I Agree with 2... But One’s Gotta Go

In this episode, Dr. Sebastian Gonzales DC breaks down the three most commonly recommended exercises for lower back strength, as listed by major fitness websites: the bird dog, deadlift (with good form), and the superman. While two of these have strong biomechanical backing, one raises a red flag—especially for those with disc-related pain or sensitivity to lumbar extension. Dr. G shares his professional perspective on why the glute bridge is a smarter, safer alternative to the superman and how it better engages key stabilizing muscles without provoking pain. This is a must-listen for anyone recovering from low back issues or coaching people through spine-safe core work. Looking to get in touch with our office?
