Are you an athlete suffering from a hernia? Then you’re probably not playing your favorite sports like before.  And if you're like me, that's a major problem! But it is challenging to find any information on sports hernia treatment without surgery online

That’s what happened to me as a self-titled Ambassador of Play. Sports have been a huge part of my life since I was a little man. When I got a hernia, that stopped all of my playtime.

It was frustrating because the more I looked into it the more I realized I did not want to do an operation and get cut up. I searched the internet for a hernia treatment without surgery, and couldn’t find any reliable information, as most authoritative websites will tell you that "Nonsurgical treatments can’t eliminate hernias".  It seems that nobody knew how to do a hernia treatment at home.

For lots of reasons I recognized that surgery was too risky of an option for me. Check out my Hernia 101 page for more information on hernias and the standard hernia treatments and risks.

So I took matters into my own hands and did my own sports hernia treatment without surgery.

Amazingly in just 2 weeks my hernia was gone. The golf-ball sized bulge had retracted. And in just 30 days I was back to playing my favorite daily game and ultimate core exercise: hack (or hackysack™) with my original HACKiDO!™. In 2 months I was back in the game 100% playing the rigorous sport of Ultimate Disc with my team on the island of Kaua'i.

I healed my hernia the natural way and you can too.

If you're athletic like me, the treatments I did will benefit you the most because I was fully focused on getting my body back into prime condition for rigorous physical activity.

So how do you begin your own sports hernia treatment without surgery? 

First of all, you need to shut your ears to the naysayers, and there are a lot of them. Focus on your goal, as the GOATs would say, you can achieve what you believe.

As an athlete, I was used to doing all kinds of exercises that I found out were aggravating the hernia.

I quickly learned what not to do and instead worked with a routine I knew would support the healing of the hernia.

Proper body alignment combined with targeted exercises that strengthen your core, especially for an inguinal hernia like I had, will be your best course of action from my personal experience.

However it is also very important to work with powerful hernia treatments at home that nourish and support the healing of the weak and ruptured tissues surrounding the hernia.

Is it easy to work on a sports hernia treatment without surgery? 

No! It is definitely not the easy path to take; it takes determination, focus and discipline. The rewards are worth it though! You find out what you are made of, literally. Your body awareness increases dramatically and you are armed with knowing that you can take control of your path and own your own healing.

That said, each of the treatments that I did are not difficult to do, it's the commitment and diligence that offers the greatest challenge.

Another huge benefit if you do a sports hernia treatment without surgery is avoiding any potential pitfalls from cutting into the body which is never a good thing and should be a last resort.  I also have personal knowledge of people who have had the mesh surgery and although it felt okay for a number of years it now causes pain daily and there is no way to really help it.

Also, once the scar tissue develops you may not be able to be as physically active because it pulls on the unhealed tissues and causes pain.

Believe me, I know how it feels to be unable to play the games that we love. I remember lying in my bed depressed with the thought of not being able to play the way that literally gives my life meaning.

When I conquered my fears and owned my authority over my body by resolving to do my own hernia treatment at home, the results were life-transforming!
