Quaranturnt Crew, First off quickly, I’m sorry basically every one of you is getting a Gmail warning saying that I am spam… I promise I’m not spam. I hope I’m not spam… Please keep marking me as not spam! Ok back to back pain. So your spine is a chain standing on top of itself with muscle and lungs as rubber bands and balloon holding it together. If that sounds dubiously supported to you, you’re pretty much right, but know that this does actually work pretty well unless we screw it up. How do we screw it up? With persistently holding bad positions. Most people who are standing for a while end up falling into anterior pelvic tilt, aka a forward rotation of the hips. I’ve mentioned this before, but here’s a picture to remind you.  See how the hips are tipped forward? Due to how the spine connect to the hips, this leads to the spine being pulled forward too. But you’re not leaning forward, so your spine then has a harsh bend in it at the lower back...yes, right where it’s hurting these days hasn’t it? This leads to people saying things like -> “today was so bad I couldn't even sit in a chair and spent all day on the floor working in a childs pose 😞”. This hip/spine dysfunction is why you enjoy child’s pose and bending forward a lot to get out of this pain. You’re simply rotating your hips back to correct for the spine smashing you’re typically doing. But it only helps short term because you go right back to that spine-smashing position a minute later. How do you fix this properly? Tune in tomorrow to find out! Here’s the IG post.
