in this video we’re going to talk about

how to save your lower back from sitting

too long some of you sit for hours and

hours and hours all day long on the

computer you’re driving your car you’re

sitting down on the couch it creates a

lot of low back pain and sciatica and a

loss of the lower back curve normally

the spine should have a small curve

going forward in the lower back so when

you sit on the couch or a chair you your

pelvis rocks back okay and then you lose

the curve so the curve is going to be

pretty much flattened and over time

that’s going to wear out the discs okay

because you’re bringing your your knee

up and it’s causing the loss of this

curve right here what I’m going to show

you to do is just simply you’re gonna

get a foam roller about this size right

here this is what I do and you’re going

to put it in the very lower part of your

chair or even your car and it’s going to

put pressure on the foundation of the

entire spine the sacrum okay and it’s

going to push it’s going to support the

sacrum to the point where a lot it allow

the lower back curb to come in it’s much

better to put it here than it is in the

lower back okay so let me just show you

something okay so what happens is you

have this lower curve right here this is

called a lumbar spine there’s five

vertebra and then it’s supported by this

something called the sacrum

okay this bone right here and normally

you want this curve going forward right

here so when you’re sitting the sacrum

curls back and you lose the curve

because there’s nothing to support the

foundation you’re going to use this foam

roller and you’re going to put it right

on the sacrum not necessarily just right

here all the time on the lower part and

it’ll actually push the sacrum forward

to allow the kerb to come back so let me

show you how to do it right now okay so

look at the situation we have your whole

pelvis as you’re sitting is rocking

backward that’s gonna cause a lot of

pressure on these nerves back here

because you can alert lose the curve so

sitting all day is a killer with low

back pain and sciatica and degenerative

disc problems etc so this is what you

want to do you want to get a foam roller

this little thing right here okay and

you don’t necessarily want to put it in

your lower back for the arch you want to

stabilize the very foundation the sacrum

which is this bone right down here so

you’re gonna put this right behind the

sacrum and it’s going to naturally tilt

your pelvis forward and allow the kerb

to come back really nicely okay so you

get the curve back this foundation and

that way you have to sit either erect or

slightly forward if your knees kind of

going down right here because with the

chair your your thigh bone is coming up

here and that’s dropping the pelvis back

so if we have a foundational support

that’s right and back of that sacrum it

rocks the whole pelvis forward and so

you can maintain that lumbar curve and

these discs will stay open it’s great to

reduce pain if you’re sitting doing

computer work for eight hours a day and

then sometimes you can switch it you

could put it up here too but the

foundational point right here will be

best and you want to use that just to

you know keep the pelvis rock forward to

keep that curve there at all times okay

so go ahead and get one of these foam

rollers get a skeleton now you’re not

going to need a skeleton get your own

body and but you all you can use a towel

maybe but this really works good because

it’s it’s very firm okay so I hope that

helped you and it’ll save your back
