[QUOTE="Travesty, post: 1083159, member: 4407"] ^ Glad for ya. I've tried a ton of things, what I posted is what I gravitated towards after trying the low level stuff like yoga & swimming. That may work for some, doesn't go after the problem hard enough in my opinion for people with real issues. What I posted is directly targeting, the more gravity you use by hanging, doing a handstand, keeping your feet firmly planted through your heels, or using your limbs as extra leverage to twist stretch your lower back and open up your hips, tail bone area is what works the fastest. The back pain is a symptom though. The cause is not sitting, standing, walking, or laying correctly aligned. People don't use their foot muscles, ass, hip muscles, groin, abs, and hamstrings nearly enough. They should be doing the grunt work. Think about being in the jungle spear hunting, what muscles you'd use to crouch around and lurk. People don't use though nearly enough. That's why I first posted standing desk, and yoga ball. Those are the longterm solutions for stationary work that we have now. I haven't tried movement exercises like Conor McGregor does, I am betting those would help a ton as well. Also, Don't be surprised as you get more aligned you have much less pain, yet feel more tender, weak, and get tired easily from just a normal day. Shifting weight off your back and unconsciously lifted shoulder blades onto a group of muscles that haven't been worked nearly hard enough. A day of perfect posture for someone with bad posture is like walking around and doing 10 air squats every 5 minutes. By the end of the day you'd be exhausted. It is like being a toddler learning to walk again. You truly should go around like a puppet hanging from a string connected to the top of its skull, letting gravity do its work and letting your major core, leg, and foot muscles balance so your torso can completely rest like fluid water. For those with bad posture, this will almost feel like walking on stilts at first because your muscles aren't used to being worked to balance you. Your hips will feel looser and wider. Smoothes out over time. [/QUOTE]
