Hi Ester, thank you for reaching out to us! Dr. Ryan has put together a helpful video with tips for long drives. I think you might find it beneficial, and I'd like to share it with you here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3_Ko5qXZrSfb6M. I'd also like to share this video where Dr. Ryan discusses the importance of posture when you sit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYXJpWuCdqd4p68. I hope these help make your journey more comfortable! 😊

Thanks doc! I completed the CBT program, and am SO THANKFUL to have more knowledge & ownership of my body & health. Now I can identify the source of SI instability, and know how to stabilize my lower back before it goes out completely. The practices you've shared are such a huge gift to us who have been searching for years. Sending so much appreciation your way! Sending best wishes from Austin to you and yours! Thank you for sharing in such a wide, accessible format!

Great info! I’m dealing with a 2 bulging discs, A Spondy & disc unroofing & Modic type 1 changes to end plate at L4/L5 & L5/S1. It’s not only the lifestyle changes but also the mental health aspect that is daunting at 8 weeks in 😳

[@brendacavanaugh3104]

I pray you feel better soon. I have something similar going on. I am six and a half weeks in pain with L5 old fracture having calcification pressing on the nerve and my SI joint dysfunction with pinched nerve causing my left leg and foot to be numb. I have a tens machine to help ease the pain, SI belt for helping me to do my day to day chores, and I have been taking supplements to help heal the back. I also went to a pelvic floor therapist. She said my muscles were all tense and angry. I saw her on Monday. It helped me tremendously. Also I was told I have a herniated disc.

[@didactica9326]

How are you doing today? Better I hope!

[@tombillard5264]

Any advice for traveling long distances that requires sitting? Ty for al your information and help!

[@AliNadim-d8w]

Here is some advice for you every 1 Hour of sitting get off your car and stand and walk for 15 minutes and try bending your spine backwards to get your muscles to work

[@AliNadim-d8w]

if you have enough space in the back of your car you can lie on your stomach and try back extension and cobra stretch

[@maragarcia798]

Great information, you are the first person to mention to stay away from the couch, but i would also add soft mattresses. Muscles need support from top to bottom.

[@JamesWhite-cr5ys]

Thank you. Great videos.

[@cheesygains260]

Great Advice 😊 I'm currently dealing with mid back pain this injury happened when I was doing muscle ups without rest and pain started in the middle of the spine and the pain has not gone for weeks and the pain is persistent and at one spot, if any one has advice about this I would really appreciate it 😊

[@julianafondo7152]

Thanks so much Dr

+1 on the treadmill desk. Great video!

[@mobilitybandman802]

Another excellent vid. Just ordered a standing desk and treadmill. Standing wither breaks is repetitive and harmful to already-injured-backs.

[@karencoffman2525]

Anything for menaupausal women? It seems that it changes the body a lot and how it reacts to treatment, but very few specialists adresse this.

[@jolong9940]

Great tips! What type of treadmill desk do you recommend?

[@leoguy1030]

What do you think of 5 finger shoes?

[@majahm1373]

Great stuff. What is you opinion in Cobra yoga pose, similar to bridge?

[@didactica9326]

The cobra pose is NOT similar to bridge, totally different form and muscles contracted/expanded

[@dk.8508]

The main problem for me when sitting on the floor is, I get into my head too much when it’s time to get up and I end up, hurting my back straining to get up. and I saw some of the tricks like the bear style stand, but that sometimes hurts, as well. Is there a good technique for getting up off the floor that doesn’t involve that Ben- over, hands-on-the-ground bear style? Thank you!!

[@JOJO-no8rb]

If you have si joint pain should i do deep squats?

[@esterkahingunga5813]

Advice for traveling long distances that require sitting please

[@simonefongkong134]

Deep squat you said in another video is not good when you have sacralliac issues. I would get motion sickness with that thread milk desk. No stretching?

[@CDXLIV444]

I was thinking the same thing but he also said you need to work towards it so I'm guessing that's what he means. I'd still be afraid to do it though if it were me.

[@itamarhindi768]

Hi there, I really appreciate all your advice for back injuries! I’m a 21 year old male with grade 2 spondy at L5S1 and the majority of my pain comes from sciatica pain I feel in my glute and hip. I sustained this injury from running heavy and haven’t been able to return because of other setbacks. Will I be able to return to running or is it too intense for spondy? Thanks!

[@allbird3792]

Bro im 21 male and i got spondylolisthesis too grade 1 at L5S1 from weight lifting

[@allbird3792]

Just diagnosed with it in January

[@allbird3792]

How long have you had that bro?

[@arunraghuk5627]

Dou you have pars defect?​@@allbird3792

[@allbird3792]

@@arunraghuk5627 Not sure but there's no "pars defect" Mentioned in the MRI report

[@roselita99]

This not for me because of old age and arthritis knees

[@kimgriggs9698]

Hi I'm a newbie Congrats on your child. My son is a lawyer & works from home since covid so he's always on the computer & cell with clients. He uses the exercise ball to sit on for years but now got a stand up desk. Uses the treadmill too.

[@cchemmes-seeseeart3948]

But it's not all or nothing. Many things on the list you can do. You could try to do as much as you can. Maybe you can't sit on a chair without support all day, but you could use an exercise ball as your chair for at least a little bit, here & there. He talks about how he does 'as much as he can." You could add even just a tiny bit more standing rather than sitting. Or, as he said, either stand up or lie down more; sit less. When talking on the phone, just try to move a bit, even if you move about in your chair or lying down; keep moving. Even if you only walk for one minute, it's better than not at all. (Knee arthritis may be messed up alignment; sometimes such things are not what they seem as well. I thought I had arthritis & I didn't. I had to strengthen my adductor leg muscle with exercise bands, plus doing 'bicycle' motion at the pool for physical therapy exercise & it worked, to pull my knee cap back in alignment & stop pain. Crawling: if you can't crawl on your hands/ knees, maybe you could try like me: when going up the stairs, go up on your hands & feet, bending over, to relieve back pain. Hanging: even if you can't hang all the way with a push up bar, you could hang part way, such as at a park, just partly stretching with your legs still on the ground. (Or hang a jump rope over the top of a door, and just sort of 'hang' partially from that). And old age doesn't keep you from eating fish or cod liver oil; anti-inflammatory foods. Or walking barefoot around the house. Or using a massager. And you can take breaks from sitting too long. Blessings. Have a great day.
