Generally, training can be performed using methods such as the "Little Swallow Flying" exercise. Weighted training with dumbbells or similar equipment can also be chosen to effectively strengthen the lumbar muscles, improve the stability of the lumbar spine, and alleviate symptoms of lumbar 5-sacral 1 disc herniation. Once adequate strength is achieved, patients may proceed with exercises such as the "Goat Stretch." Patients are advised to get adequate rest in daily life.
