| 0:00.0 | Today, we're going to talk about how to get rid of low back pain very fast. |
| 0:04.8 | Now, there are several causes of low back pain, but there are two main causes that are the most |
| 0:09.6 | common. And then I'll cover the things that are not as common as well. And the first big cause |
| 0:15.6 | of low back pain is excessive sitting. And you realize that the average person in the US |
| 0:23.1 | sits between 10 and 15 hours a day. That's incredible. They're driving, you go to work, |
| 0:31.5 | they sit there, or they're working from home, they're sitting, they're working on their computer, |
| 0:35.7 | and then they go home and watch TV while they're sitting. And so sitting puts your body into this |
| 0:41.0 | flex state. Okay. Now, the thigh muscles, which are the quadriceps, they're drawn upward in a flex |
| 0:50.3 | and the quadriceps mean function is a flexor. So it extends the lower leg in the foot, |
| 0:56.8 | and it also helps flex the femur upward. The other flexor in the lower back is the soas. |
| 1:03.1 | And so the quadricep and the soas muscle, if you're sitting for a long period of time, |
| 1:07.0 | are going to shorten. So as soon as you stand up, they're going to be tight. And that's going to alter |
| 1:13.2 | the pelvis, which is then going to cause compensation to your lower back muscles and put your lower |
| 1:20.0 | back muscles in a constant state of tightness or contraction. And so when you sit for a long time, |
| 1:25.6 | you get shortened quadricep muscles, you get weak gluteus muscles, that's your butt muscle. |
| 1:31.2 | In fact, your butt actually reshapes, it becomes flatter, becomes flabby, it becomes |
| 1:37.2 | because of our flexors are too tight. And we don't have strong extensors, which are the opposite |
| 1:44.4 | muscles that counter that, which is the glutes, then your low back has to take up the slack. |
| 1:49.6 | And that's really where a lot of low back pain comes from. So the best stretch for this is the |
| 1:54.0 | quadricep stretch, and I recommend doing the standing. Okay. So this is what I want you to do. |
| 2:00.0 | Get a chair, take one hand on the chair, with the other hand on your ankle, |
| 2:05.6 | and bring up your foot into the back part so you're stretching your thigh muscle. Let's start with |
