Welcome to the GitFit Guys, quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up.

My name is Ben Greenfield. I'm the Get Fit Guy, and in last week's episode, I shared with you the best exercises, workouts, and treatments that I used to heal, a debilitating injury I had while doing my simple morning workout

of practicing jump rope double unders. Well, in this episode, which is how I healed my low back

pain naturally, part two, I'm going to tell you about the specific gear supplements,

books, and resources that I poured into myself to get me back into shape in

no time flat. Let's start with the best gear for low back pain. In addition to the infrared

sauna, I mentioned in the previous episode, which is episode number 330, and you can just go to

quick and dirty tips.com to get access to that episode and this one. There are a few other key pieces of gear that I used on a daily basis to heal my low back

pain naturally.

First, I use something called the, brace yourself, Dr. Ho's decompression belt.

And sure, this belt may have a cheesy name, but it allowed my spine to decompress

and open up the space between the vertebra, allowing

for faster healing. I wore it several hours per day, particularly when in cars, sitting on airplanes,

and even standing at my desk. Next is the biomat, which is a long, infrared light and heat-producing

mat. You can lay on with your knees, slightly bent, and with a pillow under your knees,

which is exactly what I did each day as my back healed.

Just 15 to 20 minutes a day of this type of heat therapy can be incredibly relaxing for your low back and assist with blood flow and healing.

Now, unlike a regular heating pad, a biomat doesn't produce large amounts of dirty electricity and also has the ability to ground or earth you.

Another healing modality described in great detail in the excellent documentary, grounded.

And I'll put a link to all of this over at quick and dirty tips.com.

Just look for this episode, episode 331.

Next is inversion.
