At my age I feel like that’s a diagram on how someone can cause back pain to themselves.

There are muscles in your hip and pelvis that also can tighten from sitting in an office chair that I encourage everyone to stretch. I’m in month 8 of pain and 6 of physical therapy trying to un-fuck the nerves that can be compressed by them and I do not recommend it. Those nerve endings are not in fun places.

I fucked this up early this year. This video really helped (stretches)-
i use the technique of laying on back on flat surface, one leg over the other, and pushing them both to the opposite side of me (feels real god afterwords)

That’s exactly where my pain comes from. Stretching will become part of my routine now

Yes… Stretching… You know… That thing you do and realize that you’re old? That thing that requires setting yourself down on the floor, as if everyone had yoga mat flooring instead of hardwood that groans out reminding you that you should probably not be going down on it, since you might not be able to get back up. Stretching, that thing where a tight muscle can turn into five new pulled muscles. Definitely a good idea.

I doubt 80% of this sub could get anywhere near that pose. And hold it long enough to actually get a benefit!! I sure can’t 😅

Getting off your bum is essential.

I fucked my back at my first job I’ve tried stretches but none of it helps. It’s like the lowest possible point and it just constantly feels like my lower spine is being squeezed it really flairs up when I’m standing or walking so work absolutely sucks. Sitting down helps it sometimes but other times it doesn’t make it any better. The only way to relieve the pain is to lay down. I know my comment has nothing to do with the post really but i figured I’d share this to let someone know don’t be like me and lift with your back please use your legs.

Ok no dont, you’ll hurt yourself permanently.
This stuff needs to be taught by a professional supervising your movements, you wont know when you’re doing it correctly by yourself thus you wont achieve the result and you only risk injuring your spine.
Do NOT.

Can assure you most likely that one muscle is not the problem.

Here is the ONLY back pain video you will ever need.
This was amazing for me. Look at the comments. This thing is over a decade old.
stretching AND strengthening. most people just keep stretching the same weak muscles until they feel better. the pain will continue to return unless you address the root problem (the muscle is too weak)

People like having big strong arms but most will underestimate the value of having strong core muscles until they start feeling pain from neglect.
You don’t where to be able to do hanging sit-ups but absolutely try to keep those muscles limber.

How many GB of RAM do I need to effectively be able to do that movement at 120fps?

If I shrimp hard enough it will get stretched and I can maintain peak performance at the same time

If you have lower back pain it can also just be tight hamstrings
A doctor got me to do hamstring stretches and the pain completely went away
It seems counterintuitive since it’s not a back muscle but I think when they are too tight it can pull on your lower back
