I currently suffer from mild lumbar disc herniation, which is about 2 to 3 inches below the Mingmen point! Could you please practice the Southern Shaolin Diamond Iron Banqiao? Thanks!

Lumbar disc herniation mostly occurs at L4/L5 and L5/S1. From the CT examination, it can be divided into bulge, protrusion, and prolapse. Prolapse is the lightest type. Yours has already protruded. You should avoid bending down, bearing weight, and exercising with excessive force on your waist. The key to the Diamond Iron Banqiao is to have strong waist strength to resist the impact, pressure, and impact of external forces. Therefore, if you have practiced it before, you can reduce the intensity and maintain it at the original strength level. Do not increase the intensity too drastically, otherwise the condition may worsen. I wish you a speedy recovery!
