The gods 🔱 of ancient Greece 🏛️ were believed to be cruel and jealous, so in that context, their punishment of Prometheus makes sense.
For the crime of stealing fire 🔱 and giving it to humanity, he was chained on top of a mountain where every day and eagle 🦅 would eat his liver and every day it grew back.
In fact, Alexander, 10,000 miles from home believed he found that very mountain ⛰️ while crossing the Hindu Kush.
Now as mere mortals 🙋 we lack the power to become whole again after being torn asunder.
And all too often people will find that they will continue to have pain ⚡ after a spinal surgery.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome is estimated to occur in 20% - 40% of all spinal surgeries, with that likelihood increasing with multiple surgeries. ☹️
More specifically when it comes to spinal fusions, studies have shown that fewer than half of all spinal fusions are successful, with up to 94% of people still having back pain after surgery.
That’s why, as imperfect clay, we encourage you to investigate 🕵️ less invasive solutions before committing to more invasive.

Crassus crushed ⚒️ the slave revolt led by Kirk Douglas who just happened to bear a striking resemblance to Spartacus and amassed a huge fortune for himself.
Already the richest man in Rome 🏛️ he partnered with Cesar and Pompey to dominate the Roman political system.
In his quest for further glory and riches he led an army of 30,000 men into the deserts 🐫 of Mesopotamia.
The result was, him seeing his army crushed, his son’s head the tip of a spear, and in a symbolic gesture mocking his greed, the Parthians killed him by pouring molten gold down his throat. ❌ 🥇
Totally unrelated, did you know that elective spinal surgeries increased by 63% over a 12 year period? 🤷
That meant by 2015 there were 199,140 lumbar fusion surgeries, with a corresponding hospital costs increased 177% during that time.
While the average case ballooned to $50,000 💸 per patient.

There is nowhere in the history of Mankind 🧑🤝🧑 where human beings were designed to deal with the forces that occur in a car accident.
Just think about it, the fastest impact you’ve ever seen in a football game 🏃💨 is by a player running at 20 to 25 miles max!
Have you ever driven 🚗 behind someone who was going 20 miles per hour and thought, “why are they going so slow”? 🐌
And… an impact 💥 of 20 miles per hour is the equivalent of falling 2 stories onto concrete.
That’s a lot of force.
Fortunately, modern vehicles have an array of 🦺 features to mitigate the kinetic energy from an accident, BUT no matter what type of car you have, your body is still absorb some of that impact.

Revisiting last week: the muscles of your core as an X.
The muscles of your lower back and your quads are one line of the X.
They are too tight.
And your abdominal muscles and hamstrings are the other line of the X.
They are too weak.
This week we are going to walk you through what you can do to fix these imbalances and prevent current or future low back pain.
We want to make this simple and effective, so you can stick to it.
First wake up in bad.
Do take a deep breath and hold it for 3 seconds, extending you stomach.
Purse your lips and breath out slowly taking 5 to 15 seconds.
Do these 3 to 5 times, warming up your core, now you’re ready for the next step.
While still lying in bed, go ahead and do some hip raisers.
Lift your hips off the bed and hold for 5 seconds.
Bring your hips back down and now hold your knees and pull them into your chest and hold for 5 seconds.
Go back and forth between the hip raisers and your double knee to chest stretch. And do these 3 to 5 times.
You are now gently stretching your low back and quads while working to strengthen your abdominals and hamstrings.
So far in our quest to balance our core to prevent or reduce low back pain we’ve run through a deep breathing exercise, warming our core.
Next was hip raisers for abs and hamstrings, followed by a knees to chest stretch for your low back and quads.
Now the next progression is as easy as rolling out of bed.
With your feet and knees on the floor, plant your right knee to the ground, and plant your left hand under your left shoulder.
Extend your left leg behind you and stay balanced while you reach your right hand in front of you.
Hold for 5 to 10 seconds.
Now crunch you left knee and right elbow into you. And hold for 3 seconds.
Extend and crunch for 3 to 5 cycles and then repeat on the opposite side. This is definitely my favorite exercise, and believe me. I am no stranger to low back pain.
Now that you’re nicely warmed up it’s time for an awesome abdominal exercise.
Planks.
Laying prone on the floor, come up onto you elbows and knees and hold for 3 to 5 seconds. If you are more advanced come up onto your elbows and feet (keep in mind this is much harder).
Now raise yourself onto your knees, sit back and extend your arms in front of you into child’s pose and hold for 10 to 15 seconds or more. This is an awesome stretch for your quads and low back.
Go back and forth between planks and child’s pose
Word to the wise… if suspect your abdominal core is de-conditioned, or if you find planks difficult, build up to them slowly, and just hold you planks for a second or two. God knows these have made me sore for a week when I was trying to be a hero!
