Try our experiment below ⬇️
Low back pain literature is extensive; however one common theme remains - “bad posture” is poorly linked with experiences of low back pain, especially in comparison to “prolonged” postures (sitting or standing in one position for a long period of time). 😩
“Sit up straight, or you’ll have a bad back” is something I think most of us have heard from our teachers, parents, and other adults for our entire lives. But if you ask them, a lot of them them have had back pain for their lives too!
Really quickly, SQUEEZE your fist for us, now picture holding that fist squeezed for the next 4 hours.
You can imagine when you try and unclench that fist 4 hours later that you’d have a really tough time doing it, so why make your back muscles do that when you’re studying or working?
If you clench your fist again and give it a break every 20 minutes for the next 4 hours, we guarantee it’ll be far more achievable than trying to go four 4 hours straight!
So what can you take from this? You would have heard it again and again, but for good reason, MOVEMENT is MEDICINE and your back needs it.
Do you have low back pain that is stopping you from doing what you love? It might be time for a Rebuild 🙌
