Low back pain (LBP) is a reality in most of our lives at one point or another. It can range from being a “nag” to being totally disabling. Let’s look at some exercises for the low back that can be done from a SITTING position so that they can be: 1) Performed in public (without drawing too much attention) and 2) Repeated every one to two hours with the objective to AVOID LBP from gradually getting out of control (STOP the “vicious cycle” so LBP stays “self-managed”).
RULES: 1) DON’T do any exercise that creates SHARP pain; 2) Stay within “reasonable” pain boundaries; 3) DO these multiple times a day WHEN you feel tight, stiff, sore (take 10-30 sec. every hour rather than 15 min. twice a day).
SITTING LOW BACK EXERCISE OPTIONS:
1) SITTING BEND OVERS: 1) Slowly bend forward from a seated position and attempt to reach the floor; 2) Spread the knees as needed to allow for a full range of motion; 3) Hold for 3-10 seconds or until it feels “loose.” 4) Do the opposite – sit and arch your low back as far back as is comfortable. Repeat frequently for short hold-times – make it “fit” your time limitations/schedule!
2) SITTING HIP / BACK STRETCH: 1) Cross your leg; 2) Raise the knee to the opposite shoulder; 3) Arch the lower back until you feel an increase stretch in your buttocks; 4) Twist your trunk to the side the knee is raised; 5) Move your knee up/down and around to “feel” for the tightest “knots” and “work” them loose; 6) Modify by bending forward 7) REPEAT on the opposite side.
3) SITTING TRUNK ROTATIONS: 1) Slowly twist your shoulders and trunk to one side while keeping your knees straight; 2) Reach back and pull for additional stretch if comfortable; 3) Hold for 3-10 seconds or, until it feels “loose;” 4) REPEAT on the opposite side.
Remember, DO these MANY times a day (at least once every hour). We have many others as well (ask us)!

You know this is just the same with everything in life.
You’d think past showes us at least anything, but alas.
Feel free to disagree but the world changes, and none of us have no control whatsoever over it.
E.g., If only Obama had any balls to put Vladimir to his place, but it seems like it’s never happening, welcome WW3.
A truly inspiring post, thanks!
