WOW !!
Maybe it's because I am curious about seeing what others are recommending for relieving back pain that I check out various posts.
What I typically see is either some simple generic stretch that usually gives a person the feeling that they are 'doing something' for it, or some obscure stretch that requires that you need to get on the ground and wear stretchy or baggy clothes to be able to do.
Most of the time the techniques I show my patients are easy to do, can be done almost anywhere, and don't require the need for workout clothes or getting on the ground. Why?
Because a person in pain can't get on the floor several times a day or is able to change into workout gear throughout the day either.

If you can't think of what to get that special person because they seem to have everything they want, why not give them something that could dramatically improve their health? This handbook could be the perfect present as it will never get old, stale or out of date. It's worked for thousands of other people and will most likely continue to work for thousands more. Truly the gift that keeps on giving. and at a price that is very affordable. Get it while the supply lasts at this great. Remarkable value.

If you are having low back pain and are exercising because you think that doing something is better for your back than doing nothing, you may be doing yourself more harm than benefit.

Many conditions that create low back pain are due to muscle imbalances. These imbalances will distort your spine and pelvis until, you got it... the pain sets in!
Unfortunately, if you don't know what muscles are imbalanced, you won’t know what is needed to correct it.

In my experience of over 40 years, I have found that sitting creates the biggest problem to overcoming low back pain.

So many of my patients have this imbalance from sitting, that it is practically unanimous for me to give them this one suggestion that they all love doing.

Without going into detailed anatomy, my basic attitude about what exercises to do are those that put you into a different position than you have been doing for several hours.

So if you’ve been doing a lot of sitting/driving, I would recommend brisk walking. If you have a slight hill or incline to climb all the better to work and strengthen your quads your glutes.

And it feels great to do.

Try it, your back will thank you
