In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about how to save your lower back from sitting too long. Normally, the spine should have a lower back curve going forward so when sitting, the pelvic rocks back and the lower back would flatten. But sitting too long is a killer with low back pain, sciatica and degenerative disk problem. He also shows the technique on how to lose the curve in the sacrum using a foam roller.

0:49.0	Some of you sit for hours and hours and hours all day long on the computer. You're driving your car, you're sitting
0:55.3	down on the couch, it creates a lot of low back pain in sciatica and a loss of the lower

2:00.6	There's five vertebra, and then it's supported by there's something called the sacrum.
2:04.8	Okay, this bone right here. And normally, you want this curve going forward right here.
2:09.4	So when you're sitting, the sacrum curls back and you lose the curve because there's nothing to support the foundation.
