Not if you're having to tense muscles to stay that way. Tension isn't the same as strength. Start with the pillow and then you'll notice that for short periods you can sit aligned without a pillow...while keeping your spine relaxed.
Great video..... I think this machine or topic or concept is highly under rated..... I mean not documented well. I wonder you could tell us angle....... I think for beginners for may be 4 to 6 weeks maximum 45 degree is good. Later someone could go to the maximum 60 degree..... What do you think? Higher angle (45 degree) and more minutes OR 60 degree angle and less minutes? Again very good video....
Hi, its hard to give general advice but I'd say lesser incline for longer is easier on the body. Even a slight decrease in angle can be a great deal more load so you need to be careful. I hope that's helpful!
@@posturechirothank you! I always have problems because all the “ergonomic” chairs are made for taller people so they don’t really work for me and i get neck pain from sitting in a desk all day!
My left shoulder and sides and rib cage don't seem to want to move to well , so i been doing a little hanging and i thought that was supposed to help, but, feel strain in my chest and ribs, using the stretch bands might help , but, jts shaky i am afraid of throwing my shoulder wrongly and making it worse . Is there a different way i should do this or just gradually a little at a time.?
The easiest way of Sitting on the floor is the way no one sits or talks about that is Putting one leg completely above the other.This is the way I have been sitting from my childhood but I don’t see many people sit like that.But it’s very easy.
Yes but try to look a few feet in front of you to keep your neck in line with your spine. Try this to open your shoulders: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TB0V_RDW4eQ.html
Honestly, it’s been hard trying to convince myself to work out, but just doing a couple minutes of stretching each day has started to become a routine for me
I would wear it for only 15 min morning and afternoon to start. Please ask your doctor if its right for you if you have shoulder pain. This brace is for posture. Good luck!
with rib pumping I have a slight difference in my spine, I dont feel anything too odd in my ribcage. But the most odd thing is that my hips look uneven without pressing down on them, one hips looks fatter and one Lat looks bigger. but when I push my hands down on my hips the difference is miniscule, there might be a slight difference but not really noticable. Raising my arms up I dont see any difference to my left and right fingertops. So to conclude my situation, my hips LOOK uneven but when I investigate and press down on them and do other checks its not as clear. What would your expertise tell me about my sitaution, might it just be muscle imbalance, or one side tighter then the other? Also, might I add that I work out and lift weights, would worse lifting form on the left side compared to my right cause this imbalance?
Hi! Yes, it could be a muscle imbalance but the only way to tell for sure is to get an Xray. That way you could find out if the difference is structural (due to the bones) or functional (due to the muscles). It's much easier to make a change if the issue is muscular of course. I hope that helps!
Oh no! Watch this too...will likely give more detail. Lmk if you have any questions I missed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dSBaXGQoaP0.html

You're correct...my experience with patients is that many can't use it for that long (certainly at the beginning), but others find if they don't have it on too intense and incline and they work up to it slowly it provides relief.
Thank you so much. Any other videos on scoliosis would be greatly appreciated as I am also dealing with spinal stenosis in the lumbar spine which I am reading is directly or indirectly related to my scoliosis. Love your videos.
Sorry, not exactly sure what you mean. Double crossed legs (criss cross) is OK and short term one leg cross over the other is OK, but don't sit on your leg or foot. When you sit on it it causes a lot of pressure and torsion. And...no position for long periods of time, mix it up and get up as much as possible. I hope that helps!
Unfortunately no, that's not recommended. This stretch will add length to the lower back safely: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--u_tn9ebtJA.html or this routine: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vmr4V-aAArU.html I hope that helps!
1 Should one wait a certain time after eating or drinking to do this? 2 This is kinda uncomfortable on the feet, and my feet are always tense, but should we let the feet relax even if there is a bit of pain, or does it matter?
1.Yes, I would wait a bit after eating a meal, it's likely hard to digest upside down. 2. Yes, you may need to allow your feet to relax. Some discomfort may occur but do little bits at a time to ensure you don't overdo it. It often takes time for the feet to relax, just be sure you aren't causing an injury or strain.
When you say severe disc issue a no no, what do u mean by servere? I have ddd of l5-s1 but no bulge or herniation and no sciatica either just the pain from a flattened disc. What do you think? Thanks great video.
It's hard for me to tell you for sure without seeing your Xrays but if you're not in acute pain and don't have radiation down your leg I'd start slowly at a smaller angle for a short period of time and see how you do. It could end up being helpful but if you go too quickly you could end up sore. Less is more. :) As always though, check with a health professional who knows your case well. I hope that helps!
Just got my rib back in by a chiropractor . Pain is less than before and more mobility for sure but what’s the wait time on no pain at all ? I still have a minor pain but not like before .
Hi, hard to know witout knowing more about your case history. It's not unusual for it to take 4 days-1 week for it to resolve. It also deopends how tense you were, how inflammed you are generally and if you tend to re-aggravate it through the day. (likely at your desk). Your chiropractor should be able to answer that question better for you. :)
Very interesting. Should you keep your back as flat as possible? Does this mean straight line horizontal or can it also mean straight but in a say 10 degree angle? Or just as not be in a slumped position?
Thank you, I know this vid is old but I'm just finding it and it's the first one to offer me a standing method of helping that area. I sit too much and it's difficult for me to get down on the floor and back up again often like in other videos. (I'm not overweight or have physical disability but my joints ache a lot because of being lazy.) I simply need to stretch and work out more because I'm so inactive and this was very helpful for getting me started.
I have had mine for several years,, and only recently found out that I had the length set wrong. Sometimes I would have to slide the feet out, and crawl down the padding to get off. Now it is so easy.....
How does this compare to the cervical denneroll? Chiro recommended denneroll but it's so expensive! So wondering if other less expensive options are equally beneficial?
The Denneroll is a good tool but a more intense extension. We prefer this on because it's very effective , easy to use and can be used all levels safely. Some patients do well with the Denneroll but others find it too intense. the video shows you how to increase the intensity of this one safely.
@posturechiro ok thanks for clarifying that. What about pillows? Again chiro recommended one specific one, but it is so expensive, and I feel like I can find my own similar equally effective... Any pillow recommendations for the neck?
@@englishconnections9235 Pillows are so hard to recommend because everyone is a different size/shape and sleeps in a unique position. My husband (who is a chiro as well) sleeps with one from Obus Forme and I ended up with a basic inexpensive memory foam that I find comfortable. Some patients LOVE the expensive pillows but personally they didn't work for me. I recommend people try it without taking the plastic on for a night so you can tell what works best but still return it. Very often the soreness people wake up with is because their already tense neck gets worse when they lie still all night, and the pillow isn't the culprit. (and yet sometimes it is contributing to the issue). Sorry I'm not being more specific but its really trial/error.
12 years ago I was squatting 305 pounds and my shoulder just dropped and I pulled my rib head out apparently .. took 6 weeks of work but it popped in and eventually healed I guess. Fast forward 7 years later about 5 years ago from now I blocked a layup off the backboard and it pulled my arm back and it happened again .. this time no luck with getting the pain to go away. Been living with a wobbly rib and burning pain under my shoulder blade ever since. One day I will be pain free!! Might be when I’m dead but still …
Yes...try these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xJ0m6ZSropI.html and look into one of these:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dzgwUn0x2lQ.html
HI, I would recommend contacting the company for this questions, it isn't listed on the bottle. this is what they call this product now: intelligenceofnature.com/
Thank you! In my experience with patients few people don't need coccyx support but instead need to ensure their pelvis isn't tipped backwards. Flipping it tends to help that. But you're correct...if you turn it the other way it can help a coccygeal issue. Thanks and enjoy your day!
