What i do to relieve pain from sitting too long is eating vitamin B with redoxone, because i think we all get that uncomfortable feeling after sitting for too long is because we just have deficiancy in vitamin thatvare related to muscle and bones.

[@isaacsilberstein2339]

Dear Dr. Jo, The first exercise you recommend for your listeners who sit for most of the day is seated hip flexion, which strengthens the illiopsoas muscle. Can you kindly explain why you would encourage hip flexion strengthening? It would appear that, in fact, those who sit for long periods of time develop hip flexion tightness, and the remedy should be stretching of this muscle group, not strengthening. Thank you, Isaac Silberstein, SPT

[@AskDoctorJo]

Strength and tightness are completely different things. When you strengthen something, it doesn't become tight, it becomes strong. Besides, this is to take pressure off the buttocks area while you are sitting as well.
