Degenerative Back Pain – Stretching vs. Bending Forward
If you’ve seen my video about the “Top 3 Exercises for Degenerative Back Pain”, you might be familiar with the stretches that help decompress your spine.
In essence, these stretches have you bending forward to create space around your joints and nerves.
So if these stretches help decompress your spine, why does it hurt so much when you’re bending over and working with your arms? (Like when you’re washing dishes at the sink or cooking)
I’ll tell you the difference in the video!
Balance & Fall Prevention for Parkinson’s Disease
On 4-28-18, I had the pleasure of presenting this information at the HOPE conference for Parkinson’s Disease.
The presentation includes a variety of information about how to improve balance and mobility, as well as some specific information about Parkinson’s Disease.
If you have any more specific questions about balance, mobility and fall prevention, or questions about specific exercises for Parkinson’s, feel free to email me at Luke@GordonPhysicalTherapy.com

Simple Ergonomic Tips to Reduce Back Pain, Neck Pain & Headaches
If you work in an office and end up sitting for 6 or more hours a day, you’re probably familiar with tension and pain in your neck and shoulders.
Often times this will lead to headaches, especially if you work in front of a computer.
Lower back pain is also very common for office workers, due to the amount of compressive pressure on the joints and discs.
During this presentation, I lay out a simple 3-step process to adjust your workstation to help you reduce these types of pain.
And I also share 4 other simple tips to help you keep things like back pain, neck pain and headaches at bay. Enjoy!

Good Pain vs Bad Pain (How do you know?)
It’s not very common in my opinion, and in general pain should be something you want to avoid.
After all, pain is your body’s way of saying “stop it, something is wrong here!”
You may even recall an earlier blog post of mine where I discussed how the “No pain, no gain” mentality was getting so many people into trouble…
So again, in general, pain is something you want to avoid in life. And if you’ve been struggling with pain for an extended period, you definitely want to figure out the root cause of your pain so that you can eliminate it.
But like I said, once in a while, pain is actually a good thing.
The tricky part is this: trying to figure out the difference between “good pain” and “bad pain”.
There are 3 key points that will help you differentiate good pain from bad pain, which I’m going to discuss in today’s video.
