“Low Back Pain Releases” and *Piriformis Tension Connection*

Contact Dr. Emily Chan ND here: www.moderninteg...
Low back pain is often caused by tension in the gluteus muscles and piriformis. Sitting in an office chair for prolonged times can result in tighter Glut muscles which pull on the low back and sacrum. Below are a few stretches and releases that can stretch the piriformis and gluteal muscles and may take pressure off the low back.
On the psychological note, emotions or the energy of fear, not feeling safe, carrying lots of life's burden, financial stress can affect the 1st and 2nd chakra's contributing to low back pain as well. It is as if the weight of the world is on your back.

Hello Dr Emily thanks for such a clear and understandable video. I've been troubled by sitting for 25 years now, have been told it's l5 s1 facet joints etc etc and surgery, injections etc haven't made a jot of difference. Watching this I realise that I'm as stiff and as inflexible as I could be. Exercise #2 looks way beyond me as does holding the shin on #1. I'm on holiday in AB at the moment and I'll try #1 every day for the next 12 days and let you know. Oh to sit down pain free. ...
