NEW ACHES AND PAINS, ESPECIALLY
IN YOUR LOWER BACK FROM SITTING
LONGER THAN USUAL, BUT HEALTH &

HAS EASY EXERCISES TO EASE YOUR
ACHING BACK.
HI, JODY. >> HI!
>> HI!
>> Tati: HOW ARE YOU?
WHAT KIND OF THINGS MAY CAUSE
ACHES AND PAIN.
>> I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT
HAPPENED DURING THE QUARANTINE.
I WAS TAKING AN EXAMINATION AND
SITTING AT ME COMPUTER FOR HOURS
EACH DAY.
I DISCOVERED I HAD A PINCHED
NERVE IN MY LOW BACK. AND IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME,
AND IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME,
ALL OF US NEED TO BE EXTRA AWARE
OF OUR BACK HEALTH AND OUR BACK
SAFETY
SO AFTER SEEING A CHIROPRACTOR
AND LEARNING, I WANTED TO SHARE
SOME OF THIS INFORMATION WITH
EVERYBODY OUT THERE.
THE AMERICAN CHIROPRACTIC
ASSOCIATION SAID BACK PAIN IS
THE LEADING CAUSE OF
DISABILITIES WORLDWIDE.
IT’S A BIG PROBLEM AND ONE OF
THE TOP REASONS PEOPLE SEE THEIR
DOCTORS.
MOST OF YOU AT ONE TIME OR
ANOTHER HAVE HAD BACK ISSUES.
SO LET’S START OUT WITH STRETCHES AND EVEN IF YOU’VE
STRETCHES AND EVEN IF YOU’VE
DONE THEM BEFORE, YOU CAN GET ON
THE GROUND AND DO IT WITH ME.
THIS IS THE SPHINX POSE, AND
COME UP WITH YOUR ELBOWS UP
CHEST IS LIFTED.
IF YOU’RE NOT FEELING A STRETCH,
GO TO THE COBRA, INTO THIS
POSITION AND LIFT.
INSTEAD OF HOLDING THE STRETCH,
DO 20 OF THESE IN A ROW.
LOWER AND PUSH UP, LOWER AND PUSH.
AS YOU’RE DOING THIS, YOU’RE
CREATING FLEXIBILITY THROUGHOUT
THE SPINE TO CREATE SPACE. SO FOR ME, HAVING THE PINCHED
SO FOR ME, HAVING THE PINCHED
NERVE, THIS IS CREATING EXTRA
SPACE IN MY BACK.
COME TO YOUR HANDS AND KNEES AND
YOU’RE NICE AND SQUARE.
IT’S CALLED A CAT-COW.
ARCH, TUCK IN YOUR CHIN ALL THE
WAY INTO THE CHEST, ARCHING THE
BACK UP AND REVERSE, STICK THAT
TAILBONE OUT AND HEAD WILL COME
UP AND YOU BREATHE THROUGH THIS.
UP, UP, UP, UP.
PULLING THE BELLY BUTTON TOWARD
THE CEILING AND RELEASE. AGAIN, YOU’RE PROBABLY GONNA DO
AGAIN, YOU’RE PROBABLY GONNA DO
ABOUT 20 OF THOSE, AND THAT’S
CALLED THE CAT-COW.
ANOTHER MUSCLE GROUP THAT CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO LOW BACK PAIN ARE
YOUR GLUTES AND HIPS.
SO I’M GONNA TURN THIS WAY SO
YOU CAN SEE ME BETTER.
YOU’RE GONNA CROSS ONE LEG OVER
THE TOP AND REACH DOWN TO THE
LEG ON THE FLOOR AND GRAB BEHIND
THAT KNEE AND PELL INTO THE
CHEST. WHICH LEG IS STRETCHING?
WHICH LEG IS STRETCHING?
IT’S ACTUALLY THE BENT LEG.
PULL IN, HOLD HERE AND BREATHE.
AND THE MORE YOU PULL, THE MORE
YOU’RE GONNA FEEL IT.
ALSO, IF YOU TAKE THE OTHER HAND
AND PRESS THE KNEE, YOU’LL FEEL
THAT STRETCH.
OOH, IT FEELS AWESOME!
SO THOSE ARE SOME STRETCHES YOU
CAN DO?
WHAT ABOUT KEEPING IT STRONG AND
AVOIDING BACK PAIN IN THE
FUTURE?
THIS ONE I THOUGHT WAS A JOKE AT
FIRST BECAUSE I’M USED TO
LIFTING MY BOOTY ALL THE WAY UP
AND WORKING THE BUTT.
BUT THIS IS ABDOMINAL BRACING.
LIFT 2 INCHES OFF THE GROUND.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
AND THE OTHER EXERCISES ARE
PLANKS.
AND COMBINE THAT WITH GOOD
POSTURE, KEEPING YOUR CHEST OUT,
USING YOUR LEGS WHEN YOU LIFT
AND HOPEFULLY ALLEVIATE PAIN YOU
CURRENTLY HAVE AND PREVENT PAIN
IN THE FUTURE.
