Good doctors I like but, they do not have the time to teach me this. WOW! I sure have been doing these things wrong. I will watch this over and over. I am glad I found you. I will share.

Hey, make one video how to sit in the floor. And how to read a book ergonomically in the floor or in the desk. Or even standing up. Thanks

At 76 years old I appreciate that many of your videos are geared towards my age group and the various pain we suffer. However I would like you to make it clear in all your videos which exercises NOT to do if you have had knee and hip replacements. This would be of immense help to all of us who have had New joints. Many thanks .

Sent this to my Dad. Not practical to lay or stand when you are older and have vertigo, weaker legs, mobility issues. Any recommendations? During waking hours sitting is a given.

It’s really hard to find out what support I need. I don’t have lower back pain though, but my mid and upper back hurts. When I use the built in lumbar to the max and use an extra pillow it helps a bit but I can’t use the backrest anymore

[@hems_am]

I don’t know if I’ll get an answer but I damaged the hell out of my facet joints from a squat inury that was 8 months ago. I’m a college student and I’m only 18 years old. I’m trying to get better but sitting in classes and at the dorm are preventing me from fully recovering. I’m not sure if I will ever heal and I am losing hope. I’m not sure if I should take a gap semester for a good few months to see if I full recover. I’m not sure if I have the facet joint syndrome or not or really bad sprain.

[@mountainman6405]

I have slept for years in a reclining chair It works.

[@trevorfranks69]

Sitting on the couch definitely the best solution. All those exercise and stretches means nothing if your regular chair just can't cooperate with you.

Hi guys, I'm 6'6" and about 325lbs, and have been experience some lower back pain after sitting in my office chair. It's a very big office chair, designed for folks even bigger than me. My question is, is it better to have the chair reclined, so I'm leaning back, or better that it's locked in the upright position? Thanks very much!

[@Vic72075]

I’ve been home for 1 month with a sciatica flare in back of leg, butt, and numbness in foot that’s starting to fade thank god. The pain is starting to fade, but I only lay down or walk. I haven’t sat down only on the toilet for a short time. But I want to be able to drive my car again.. how long do I have to wait to drive again, with sitting?

[@ronniemillsap]

From watching their videos I can say you're doing the right things. Only laying, walking/standing, not sitting or bending. I hope they respond, but, if they dont, they usually say its dependent on you an your back. I.e some need just a few weeks some months, some even year or more.

[@dianalantz2645]

Hi V - I feel for you, I have an L5-S1 herniated disc with the butt/leg pain and a little foot numbness. You get better, then you have those "flares" as you describe. I've changed my work environment so I mostly stand, but sometimes will close my office door & lay on the floor with a laptop to work. Sitting is so difficult & driving is just the worst. The butt/glute pain is so bad, it brings me to tears at times when I get out of the car. My back doesn't hurt when I sit - it's the glute pain that is just torture. The best thing I've found to help in the car is a Purple seat cushion & a Pandaspillow lumbar support, but sometimes those don't cut it either when I'm flaring. Last night, my husband got home & nonchalantly said "It feels so good to sit down," and it made me so sad, hoping I'll be able to say that again one day. It's really awful to not be able to sit, but my neurosurgeon and rehab doctors tell me it's possible to heal from this without surgery, to be patient, to do my exercises - so I'm keeping the faith and looking for any tips I can find. Bob & Brad's channel has been a big help, and their humor helps me keep my spirits up. Hope you're feeling better soon.

[@Vic72075]

Diana thank you for your reply.. omg you sound just like me. Just the butt area is hurting. I don’t sit either.. I walk or lay down... I can’t even sit in my car yet. I hope I can one day... I need to get my life back, this is getting me more depressed than I am, plus being indoors from the shutdown. I’m alone so it’s difficult. My MRI is next week I hope. I hope you get better soon too.

[@dianalantz2645]

@@Vic72075 Try to keep moving, even if it's just walking. My neurosurgeon wanted me to start swimming, but with everything going on, I didn't get to join the gym to get started. He says it's important to keep moving, so try to get your steps in if nothing else. It really is depressing to not be able to sit - I tell my doctor this gives new meaning to the term "a pain in my ass." There's so many things you avoid doing when you can't sit. Hoping you and I both get some healing & relief soon. Take care.

[@Vic72075]

Diana Thank you for your advice, I’m gonna try. I’m so scared I’m going to get worse cause it’s been a month. I will try to keep moving, and yes I hope we both get better soon. I hate this shutdown here in NY cause it makes things worse. Take care

[@evelynhess7979]

Sounds like your hips are rotated back a bit. You should be on your site-bones (rockers at bottom of pelvis). Without arching your back, you might want to have a cushion or two to keep your back from falling back.

[@annacoribioanna]

Okay you have made a mistake huge mistake I'm sure you are not considering people's height are you because I short chair for somebody else who is 6ft 2 might not be a short chair for somebody who's 5 feet so this chairs fit all what do you mean what is considered short chair? I think it's better to explain where your knees should be or the angle degrees your legs should be angled if that makes sense instead of saying short chairs not good for you what does that actually mean individually for each person since there are people who are 4ft 11in some who are 6-foot I am 5ft and I'm having an extremely hard time finding a good chair there are chairs out there that say this is the best chair there's even a million-dollar chair but the same question remains one-size-fits-all this expensive chairs are made for whom what height is the person because a 6-foot tall man has a longer back longer legs than let's see me who's 5 feet
