“Why Ab Work May Not Be the Solution for Lower Back Pain”

We get it — you’ve heard it a million times: “Strengthen your core to fix your back pain.” But here’s the truth 👉 not all core work is created equal. In fact, certain ab exercises can actually make your lower back pain worse if your posture, alignment, or movement patterns aren’t addressed first.

In this video, I break down why focusing only on ab work can backfire — and what to do instead to build true core stability that supports your spine.

🎥 Watch now and learn how to train smarter, not harder.
Your back will thank you. 🙌

⌨️✨ Not all keyboards are created equal!

Your keyboard might look fine — but if it’s the wrong fit for your body, it could be causing wrist, shoulder, or neck pain. The size, shape, and layout of your keyboard all play a big role in how your body feels after hours at your desk.

That’s why we love using keyboard comparison charts 🧩 — they help you find the perfect ergonomic setup for your body and workspace. A well-fitted keyboard means less strain, more comfort, and better posture all day long. 🙌

If you’re not sure which keyboard is right for you, zoom into this incredible comparison chart! Feel free to reach out if you need more guidance. There are so many choices! DM us!

Check out Zeena showing the EOW Swivel Knees exercise! 🙌 It’s a simple move that helps loosen up tight hips and ease lower back tension. This works specifically on the "internal rotation" of the femur bone inside the hip joint? Don't know what that means?

That's ok... we do. Basically, it increasing the flexiblity of the hip joint decreasing pain the hips, lower back and even the knees and feet.

At VerticAlign Posture and Ergonomics, we make sure every exercise actually works for you, not just a generic routine. Feeling stiff or sore? This might be just what your body needs.

This week's is one of my favorite basic Pilates and posture exercises. If you don't have a foam roller to perform this, you can place your hands on the floor and still work the muscles of back extension. This is a fantastic one for building strength and flexibility!

Let's talk brain-based workouts! This is an excellent example of how using your TONGUE and EYES as a way to increase flexibility in an exercise.

Wait... WHAT? Yes, for real. Watch this and see how using my tongue helped to improve the flexibility of my right arm.

Cool... right? Thanks to Misha at Central Core for leading me through this exercise sequence.

PS. We teach workshops like this for our corporate clients. Interested? DM me!

Have you considered that we don't "twist" much anymore in our everyday lives? We no longer even turn our shoulders to change lanes, thanks to the fancy car safety features!

Therefore, "twisting" exercises are more important than ever before! The body needs this movement for maintaining posture, improving flexibility, enhancing balance, and reducing stiffness.
