Don't get fixated on the image. The only thing that matters is function and movement. Disc material will generally reabsorb. Do hyperextension pressups give you relief? The first time I damaged my L5-S1, I could literally feel the disc material pushing back into place when I was doing these. Again, be slow and methodical with healing movements and progressive overload.
I had a sequestered fragment that had me laid up for months. I was scheduled for surgery but cancelled last minute. It resorbed over time.
I would do standing extensions while pressing with my thumbs. I would move up and down the lumbar pressing as I did the extensions. It gave me the mental picture of pushing the discs back into place. I don't know if it really did, but the mind is potent, right?
She has great genetics and plenty of PEDs judging by her face and arms. My 135 pound wife has great genetics for lifting, pulled 240 within weeks of training, and doesn't look like that. I'd be more impressed if they did this:

Those are elite athletes in competitive physical shape, so by definition those positions are not unathletic! Just making conversation really. A point would be that it is absolutely fine for such an athlete to go into that flexion position, not the only sport that does that either.

. I would have aced the two mile run even in my late 50's until my heart diagnosis.
Yup, laying face down with upper body extended back with straight arms, holding for like 10 breaths, and doing that a couple of times per day. I do downward dog between.
I do back extensions every morning and evening as part of a stretching routine the PT gave me (but only because is feels good VM). I do a lot of different stuff so I can't really tell what is working.
All of the above. Movement is medicine. Also you probably felt good about getting the vaccine for several reasons. Running 8 miles outside improved your mood and circulated new fluids through your joints. You obviously like some aspects of barbell training. The brain's pain response takes everything into account - the things affecting the mind and body.
Thanks for sharing, everyone is different and what works for some doesn't for others.
same here. There were so many aspects to my treatment that I am unable to say which particular ones were of most/least benefit. I have some gut feeling on which was the most helpful, but no proof.
