hey everybody its Doctor Jo. do you get booty pain from sitting for a long time?
if you do, here are five ways to help prevent that. so let's get started.
so the best way to help prevent booty and leg
pain when you're sitting for a long time is to get up and walk around, but if you
can't do that, maybe you don't have time, or maybe you're not supposed to if
you're at work, I'm going to show you just five really easy ways to kind of
help prevent that. so the first one is just a hip flexion while you're sitting
down. so even if you're at a desk typing,. it's really easy, all you have to do is
just kind of marching while you're sitting. and if you haven't already make
sure you click on the subscribe button down there.
so this is pretty easy to d,.o and what it does is it allows you to take some
pressure under and off underneath the legs down there. and the reason for that
is because if you're sitting for a really long time and there's pressure
there, then sometimes numbness and tingling go down. so this is really easy
to do., you might have to slide back a little bit if you're at a desk depending
on how high your desk is, but you can just start off with like 10 on each side,
five on each side, whatever is comfortable for you. but you can do that
several times a day. so then the second one is what we call a long arc quad. and
so basically it's just kicking your legs straight out. so now you're doing
this movement. so again you might have to slide back a little bit if you're
working at a desk if there's not much room underneath your desk, but you don't
have to go super fast or super slow. you're really just trying to get that
movement in your legs. so going back and forth like this that helps work those
quad muscles just to get that blood flowing in your legs so they don't fall
asleep and get tired and things like that. so this one's pretty easy as well.
so again 5-10 on each side, several times throughout the day, and
that's just gonna work really well to keep that blood flow and keep that booty
from not getting so painful while you're sitting. so the third one is using a seat
cushion. and so the folks at cyber Bay sent me their your Yokaro seat cushion. so
these are really great. what I like about seat cushions especially if you are
sitting in a chair that's not super comfortable or
firm, it just helps take pressure off your booty and your legs and so it can
help with a lot of things like sciatic pain.
it also helps get correct posture. so if you're feeling like you're slumping down,
these kind of cushions especially with the opening there just kind of help put
you in a better position. so it's really really great. I like this one, you can see
it's different than some of the other ones you might have seen because there's
a little more contour here, and it even has some in the back, and what I really
like about that is sometimes with other cushions, I've heard people say that they
tend to slide around on that a little bit, and this really just helps you get
your booty right in here and it doesn't slide as much. so that's really nice.
the cover is super soft, so especially if maybe you're wearing shorts or something,
it's really nice and soft on the skin, so I like that as well. as you can see here
the opening is great especially if you have some coccyx pain. if you've had a
fracture of your coccyx or your tailbone, that's what that is you know that it's
really uncomfortable to sit on something if you've had that fracture. if you have
some pain in there. so this opening just helps take the pressure off of that and
it's really great and it's really comfortable. you can also see on the back
here that it has some silicon dots to help prevent the sliding. and you can
see here that there's a strap that actually goes around the chair, so that
helps it hold into place as well. so that's nice and you can also take the
cover off and wash it if it gets dirty. so this is really great and as you can
see when I sit here my legs go in that contour, so it helps prevent all that
pressure on the legs where sometimes you might get that pain going down your legs.
so really comfortable. if you're interested in purchasing it you can

do while you're sitting, it's just kind of a heel toe raise. so going up lifting
up your heels and then coming up lifting up your toes. so just alternating back
and forth. and this one especially since it's so easy to do. I say do it a lot
throughout the day because this helps also prevent blood clots and those DVTs
or blood clots which people call can be very scary. they can be
be deadly if not treated properly and quickly, so this just helps keep that
blood flowing, moving those calf muscles making those calf muscles contract and
relax helps increase that blood flow just to work everything and keep it
flowing so that blood doesn't clot in one area. so those are very very
important to do. so the last one is just a simple sit to stand. so if you really
don't have time or you're not allowed to get up and walk around, it's pretty easy just to
do a couple sit to stands at your desk. so just you know get out a little bit
from your desk or wherever you are, and just do stand and then sitting back down.
really kind of going slow and controlled. so you're not just plopping back down. so
you're getting a little bit of exercise while you're doing it. you can just do
five or ten if you want to, but if you want to do a little bit more it's a
great way just to get that blood flow going. get your heart rate going a little
bit because if you're sitting for a long time, you really kind of need to get
everything moving in there. so that's really a simple great one to do. so there
you have it. those are some simple ways to help with booty and leg pain
when you're sitting for a long time. if you're interested in purchasing the seat
