Back Pain Solution: Ending Bad Sitting Posture

Video Description

What is bad posture? We sit more than ever these days. But most people don’t know how to sit without slouching. And their back and neck get tight, achy, and painful. Poor posture is not attractive. We end up having a rounded, hunched over spine and looking old prematurely. What if there was a simple, effective way to learn to sit that didn’t require postural exercises, or straps, or fancy furniture, or constantly thinking about it? What if in the chair you are currently sitting in you could leave you feeling comfortable, pain-free, and energized? It is possible! Dr. Brant Pedersen, a sports chiropractor in Los Gatos, California shares in this video what he learned from his studies with Noelle Perez in Paris, France. Dr. Pedersen has worked with thousands of elite athletes, but also many Silicon Valley tech team members, and common amongst all of them is inability to sit effortlessly and pain-free. Some people “hold” a good posture, but they fatigue out and end up slouching when they stop concentrating on it. Others have given up on good posture years ago. But no one wants to end up stooped over and hunched as they age. And back pain and neck pain are ubiquitous. In this TED-Style talk, given at Mint Condition Fitness in Los Gatos, Dr. Brant Pedersen shares the 3 Myths that we have been taught about good seated posture and the simple steps to end back pain. Dr. Pedersen doesn’t believe that people need chiropractic adjustments over and over and over to be healthy. He does believe that without learning to sit properly that tension, achiness, and back pain will keep reoccurring.
