    I’m a truck driver and I get really bad lower back pain from sitting in the same position for long periods of time, what I do is put an empty bottle water ( with cap on) on my lower back ,and this works miracles for me, the pain goes away almost immediately.

      @@chazlon5061 Depends on your definition of youth. As I happened to look it up, some say up to 24 or 25, some say up to 30, others say there is no exact range. So our definitions of youth may be different, but thanks for your input.

      Doesn't mean you are getting old. Getting lumbar support should be thought of as young as possible especially with these kids sitting at their desks at such a young age, hunched over not worrying since it doesn't pain them yet. I'm 20 and I got a good chair to support my whole back since I'm a computer programmer, I need to sit for long periods.

    I keep snakes, so I tried with a garter snake first, but it was too thin. My python was a little too thick, so I settled on my Indian Cobra. That worked well.

    Thak you guys! Once again for these great tips. I can not wait to get my yoga back. For the time being I am using two pool noodles for lumbar support. Now I finally have relief for my upper back.

    • @veganvintagegeek935
      @veganvintagegeek935 Před 7 lety

      I've actually found a cheaper version to the Yoga Back product mentioned in the video. I took a pool noodle cut it down to size put some slits on either side of the noodle. And took some twine and made some arm holders. And I wear the noodle on my back right on my shoulder blades for lumbar support. And I wear this at work since the chairs there have no way of holding any thing on them. And I clued in my boss about what I am wearing to help my back and my boss was super impressed and asked did I come up with this myself and I said yes and I also told my boss about you guys youtube channel too. And my co-workers were impressed and so were the patrons too. Thank you so much for your truly fantastic pool noodle ideas. I can not wait to show my Chiropractor my Lumbar support invention.

      @kevoxchrist2628 Před 2 lety

      Please don’t do yoga because it’s opening a demonic door to the devil. Repent for your sins and confess and believe that Jesus is LORD and that God rose him up on the 3rd day and you will be saved. Romans 10:9. God loves you so much that he sent his only son for you to die for your sins to have everlasting life ❤️ God is so in love with you

    Are we ideally supposed to have strong abs to give us good posture? Is it possible to have good posture all the time, unconsciously? It seems to be something we have to remind ourselves to do. You guys are pros and are fit, yet Bob your back has gone out, and Brad uses these supports in the car. It seems like everyone faces back problems even if they're careful. I guess the thing is to keep it from being chronic. Thanks again.

    I started using a lumbar pillow to correct my posture (I had no pain before that I just wanted to improve my posture thinking about my future self), after a couple days using it I feel some pain in the back. Is this pain part of the process of improving my posture or I should stop using this pillow?

    Bonjour.....I have an issue...
    My physiotherapist offered me a lumbar roll and I was told to place it in the small of my back in the lumbar region. The problem is that my back is flat, the MRI shows a non-existing lumbar curve.
    Where do I place the roll?When I place the roll in the lumbar region my sciatica and back pain feel worse, but when I move it up higher in the mid thoracic region the pain seems to go away.
    I know it's good to maintain that lumbar curve, but should I even bother? Would putting it in the lumbar region help recreate the curve or should I just move it up higher with less pain even though my back is straight? I'm 23 btw.
    Merci again for your awesome vidéos!

      +physicaltherapyvideo In a free office chair I've been trying to rebuild I'm having severe middle to upper back pain. It's almost between my shoulder blades but a tad lower. It starts out as a burning & then a throbbing soreness. Is this lumbar related or are the arms too low?

  • @dontpokethebear3893

    any advice for if a memory foam lumbar pillow is CAUSING pain? I had little to no back pain until i got a chair that came with a pillow. It now causes intense pain when using it for any more than an hour.

      I saw a meme "I at least thought I knew how to sleep, can't even do that right." It shows where to place pillows for side, stomach and back sleeping. Honestly, for me, I can't sleep on my stomach without a pillow underneath now. I can feel it in my lower back. That meme changed how I sleep!
