5 The lumbar extension places stress and pressure on the backside of your intervertebral discs, those soft, squishy shock absorbers in your spine. By bending backward and pressing against the discs, you may be able to slightly press them away from your spinal canal and nerves.
Can the McKenzie method hurt you?
The McKenzie method isn’t for everyone. If you’ve had back surgery, it’s best to avoid this program. You should also avoid it if you have a serious spinal condition, such as a spinal fracture. It also doesn’t hurt to check with your healthcare provider before attempting these exercises.
What muscles can cause lumbar extension?
Lumbar extensors are mainly composed of the erector spinae and multifidus muscle groups, and work cooperatively with gluteal and hamstring muscles during trunk extension (Graves et al., 1994).

Most authors focus on short-term effects of McKenzie therapy or report outcomes within 3 months of treatment.
