Spine injury is treatable with a fitness program. Know how

Rajit was 28 years old, new to Singapore, and had come as an exchange program student at NUS. That is not everything that describes Rajit. He had a massive spine injury which affected the area between lumbar bone 4 and 5. This injury restricted him from performing daily activities and left him helpless.

Much before coming to Singapore, he was training by himself with little help from his friends at CrossFit Gym. That was the time when he hurt his lower back, but due to young age his recovery was fast. He continued to train himself without proper guidance from a professional. His incorrect form led to a nerve issue on the lower part of his spine. Doing the day-to-day routine activity had now become a big challenge for him.

Rajit was at a point where seeking professional help had become vital. He reached out to Coach Henry who had faced similar injury in the past and with proper workout regime he overcame the acute pain he was facing. Therefore, Rajit’s situation was more relatable to Coach Henry. He was able to motivate and create a positive mindset for Rajit with the assurance that he will get better with consistent workout and appropriate intake of nutrition. Rajit wanted to train with someone who had knowledge of Rajit’s back pain.

The start of the fitness program that Henry designed for Rajit was slow considering the excruciating pain that Rajit was facing. Coach Henry had taken up this challenge of making Rajit healthier and his back muscles stronger and eradicating the pain from the roots. He knew in Rajit’s case he would have to be extremely cautious and patient. He has to start from posture correction and educating Rajit on various aspects of spine structure and other causes of lower back pain. His training involved no weights and a lot of core strengthening exercises and glute ham raises, because Rajit’s glute, ham and core were additional concern areas.

Through these exercises Rajit was able to get instant relief from his pain and knew he had chosen the right personal trainer for himself which also helped in boosting his confidence. The next step after the physical exercises was nutrition. Henry would go with Rajit and help him pick the right ingredients for his meal preps. That was the level of Henry’s commitment to Rajit. As time passed, they graduated to heavier and intense workouts.

Henry’s commitment and Rajit’s dedication made him lose 3 kgs of weight and 4% body fat in 3 weeks’ time. By this point Rajit was more knowledgeable and brimming with gratitude and commitment. He didn’t want to get out of the habit of staying fitter, maintaining the correct body posture and doing suitable exercises to eradicate any pain in the future.
