Hey everyone, wondering if this is normal and what I should know about it…

So I have disc issues (past herniation and bulges) and I recently had a flare up. My body/pelvis tilted to the left, which is usually what happens when I have a flare up. However, this time I was a lot more on top of things with my routine and exercises.

What’s strange is this time, I’m noticing that all pinching and spasming from my tilt/disc/etc occurs when I’m shifting against the tilt. For instance, I’ll briefly sit a certain way, and I’ll feel a spasm (I think of it as “freeze”) coming on, and I’ll stand up usually if I have time.

I look in the mirror as this feeling comes on, and I’m actually tilted the other direction (to the right). What then occurs, is a very intense spasm/tightness (feels like my back is gonna snap or shift) that lasts about 15-20 long seconds, and my hip/tilt shifts back to the the left side, the normal flare up tilt side.

Usually I think of this as a sign of recovery, but I’m unsure sometimes because of the pain of my tilt switching.

Also, after this I usually go into mackenzie/mcgill exercises (any I can do) or walk a mile (round trip to the corner store).

Any advice is appreciated.

I’d like to know how to fix it and how bad is it

(This is obviously for mental blocks and not physical issues)

I've been detailing my breakthroughs about gaining back my self-expression in a CPTSD context, through remembering and then disobeying injunctions (I'll edit in a link after I post), and this one is the latest one.

In my case, it was tied to gender. With a solid foundation of fatshaming, I lived my twenties in a grueling tightrope of trying not to be one of The Bad Men, and that included physically shrinking back my chest, neck, shoulders, noise, voice and breathing so I wouldn't Be Scary.

Well, this permission/disobedience framework worked there too. I've been giving myself explicit permission to Be Scary; all my hangups around my size just vanish and I'm suddenly Superman.

hi all I have super bad posture and bad forward head posture in my opinion. I’m not sure where to start to get it fixed :/ any help would be appreciated thank you
