Common Posture Mistakes That Lead to Back Problems

Common Posture Mistakes That Lead to Back Problems

Published by on February 1, 2018 | Leave a response

“According to a study published in 2013 by the Mayo Clinic, back pain is the third most common cause of doctor visits in the United States. And according to American Family Physician, only 25 to 30% of people seek treatment for their back pain. So if you’re experiencing back pain, you’re not alone.

Many back pain sufferers struggle with what’s causing their back pain, not realizing the 8 or more hours they spend sitting could be the main culprit.

The most common cause of lower back pain is postural stress. For this reason, lower back pain is frequently brought on by sitting too long, prolonged bending, heavy lifting, or even standing or laying down, all for a long time in a poor, rounded back position. According to Cornell University Department of Ergonomics, up to 90% more pressure is put on your back when you sit vs. when you stand. There are several reasons why, the first being that if you’re like most Americans, you habitually sit in ways that cause tension and imbalance in your back and neck. This applies to sitting at work, in the car, and at home.”

1. You’re looking down at your screen, phone, or desk, and your head tips forward. As your head weighs on average 10 lbs, any slight angle forward puts a strain on the muscles of your neck and upper back. The further forward that you lean your head forward, as well as how long you keep that straining posture, determines how much extra work your neck and upper back need to do.

2. Your shoulders are rolled forward. Some of the most common causes are a lack of lumbar support from a chair that’s too soft or one that doesn’t encourage good posture, a muscular imbalance where your pectoral muscles (chest) are stronger than your back muscles (common in men who like to work out their beach muscles more than their back), or habit. If you’re wondering if you’re guilty of this, stand with your feet shoulder width apart and let your arms hang down at your sides. If your thumb points forward, you’re probably balanced. If your palms are pointing behind you, you probably have an imbalance.


3. You’re leaning forward from your lower back. This posture puts even more pressure on the vertebrae of your lower spine (lumbar area), as it compresses your disks.

4. Your elbows are too far away from your body. The rule in lifting anything is that the more the object weighs, and the further your elbows are away from your torso, the more strain you put on your shoulders and upper back. Reaching your arms forward to type or write might not seem like much, but doing it 8 hours or more per day will take it’s toll.

5. You hold your phone to your ear.  Many people multitask and talk on the phone while their hands are doing other things. Doing this for a few seconds isn’t going to cause an imbalance in your body, but anything more that that will cause tension on one side of your neck and upper back.

6.You sit for too long.  Dr. Joan Vernikos, former director of NASA’s Life Sciences Division and author of the Sitting Kills, Moving Heals, explains “We weren’t designed to sit. The body is a perpetual motion machine.” When you’re sedentary, your muscles get less oxygen and nutrients from your blood.
The rule of thumb is to frequent changing of postural positions and take movement micro-breaks for every 30 minutes of sitting throughout the work day. A helpful strategy is to drink lots of water: it keep you hydrated, which is healthy, and it forces you to get up and move in order to use the bathroom!

Back Pain Relief4Life is the world’s simplest and most effective way to eliminate back pain naturally… without the need for drugs… surgery… or fancy equipment. It is a lower back pain cure that beats out every other back pain remedy and option in the world for getting a healthy and strong back.

“My life before Relief4Life was… every other day my back really bothered me. You know I could still function but it wasn’t comfortable. I have pain in a lower right back, it kinda radiates down a little bit, and it’s just makes…, it hurts and so I wrenched it about 2 weeks ago when in an airplane and then I sat which is the worst thing I can do for. So it was really bothering me and I got to where I was staying and started gently doing the exercises from the DVD and did those everyday with a little progression in terms of how intense it was and within a week it was better.

I was skeptical about Relief4Life, it’s something that appeared to be so simple could work so well. And then I can do I mean I can sit at home and put it the DVD and do this… I don’t need any help of beyond the instruction on the DVD and my back from my lower back clear up to my neck, it feels better.

I would recommend, I have recommended it to other people, I’ve loaned the DVD to other people.
After Relief4Life, in combination of coming to EarthFIT and doing the exercises I would say is that if I do have an incident there’s a quick recovery time and I’ve very rare like have incidence where my back really bothers…almost never!”

3 Components of Back Pain

3 Components of Back Pain

Published by on October 5, 2016 | Leave a response

“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here with MyBackPainCoach.com and I wanted to do a quick video about the 3 components of back pain and there’s actually one that is major but it’s not really spoken about often, and so I want to bring that up here. (If you hear music we have people training in the background so you’ll get that part of the video.)

So the first few things that I wanted to cover are the top 3 that I see consistently and often, which are emotional, physical and nutritional, and they are all intermixed to some degree. So, Emotional aspect would be the mental aspect and being conscious of the tension that you have in your body. So if you have constant tension and stress, you know, low feelings like guilt, shame, anger, jealousy, those feelings will build constant stress and tension. They’re actually shown to be destructive to the body, they contract, they cause contraction of the muscles, of the cells, and this can cause tension in the body which can create back pain.

Alright, so wherever your issue is, which typically people have a lot of stress on the back to begin with because of sitting and standing and then build up of tension, will create stress in the back and cause pain.

The next one would be Physical. Alright, so lack of movement, lack of mobility, lack of proprioception – that’s your awareness of your body’s, your understanding of where you are in space; it allows you to touch your fingers to your nose. If your brain doesn’t have an understanding of where the muscles are in the back because there’s a lot of movement and there’s no map from the brain to those muscles, pain will show up. That is what’s great about the body, the body will bring something to you and say “Hey! pay attention to me” and this is one of the reasons why that happens, lack of spacial awareness too. So, there’s a bunch of things that connected into physical and physical actually could be directly connected with nutrition but I made it a different category altogether because there’s a lot of things to go over there.

So Nutrition, if we have a lack of vitamins and minerals. Our back won’t get the nutrients it needs. So for example osteoporosis. A lot of people have osteoporosis of the spine. If you are lacking the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body will leach it from your bones and then you’ll start to get degeneration of the bone. And that would also happen to the rest of the body, right? Discs as well. And nutrition is also water. We forget that, right? So, vitamins, minerals, water stay hydrated, not eating too much processed food, preferably eliminating processed food all together, alcohol as well. These are inflammatory foods; people who are eating foods that they’re allergic to, many times not knowing that they’re allergic to it. Other inflammatory foods like dairy or processed dairy, gluten and nightshades. If you’re eating those and you have an issue with them they’re causing inflammation. Wherever you have a problem that is in the body will now be exacerbated tremendously. And the last thing that I’ll be speaking about, which is one of the most important things, is toxins. So, before eating foods and consuming foods from cans, fish… we’re building up toxins in the body and we cannot escape it any longer. We’re breathing them in, clothing has toxins, the tags in our clothing have toxins, your seats have toxins, the plastic bottles have toxins, we’re taking on a barrage of toxins constantly, all day everyday, and it’s causing inflammation. It can also cause autoimmune type reactions in the body and if these toxins are not eliminated then they will cause inflammation, systemic inflammation, and again, it can lead to back pain, other joint inflammation, arthritis etc..

So, I also put wifi down there, the electromagnetic frequencies that we’re taking on cause cellular toxicity as well. And so, this is something that you want to keep awareness about. So, how you eat will help eliminate heavy metals as well, and stay away from electrical, you know wifi, toxicity.

So these are a few tips. I’ll do another video on how you can actually eliminate some of these toxins naturally and removing yourself from electronic smog, for lack of a better term. Alright, so this is Ian Hart with My Back Pain Coach. I hope you found this helpful. Look out for another video on how to tackle some of these issues. Have a great day!”

Walking and Back Pain

Published by on March 10, 2016 | Leave a response


“Hey! What’s up? It’s Ian Hart here. I’m here at my fitness studio and I had a quick thought that I think can help you if you’re dealing with back pain. And so that being: how you walk.

Okay, a lot of times the way you walk can either cause back pain or relieve back pain and so there’s one tip that I think a lot of people can use right now. And that is when you walk, you’re suppose to swing your arms, alright. If you notice that your walking without swinging your arms you’re putting a lot of torque and tension in your lower back and it’s causing damage. Now if you swing your arms you’re dissipating the force and letting your body flow freely. And what happens is, when people have back pain they actually tighten up and they let fear get into the mind so they tense up their whole body and they stop moving their arms and their shoulders and they walk, you know, in this position like this (please see the video) and this is actually causing more pain than if they just walk freely. Alright?

So you’ll notice when you swing your arms with your body nice and fluidly, it feels great. Just in general just go nice swing, you’re actually, your whole physiology will change and this goes, you know, you’re changing your nervous system when you let your body flow freely and walk. This is true for posture too, you know we know that if you sit up straight you get your spine in alignment, information sent from the brain down to the spine faster, automatically your whole physiology change. You feel better about yourself and you feel better about the world around you just by increasing your posture, increasing your breathing and all those things because that’s the way the body’s designed. It wasn’t designed to be hunched over alright. So as soon as you’re hunched over or you walk with your arms tightened up and you’re not moving, these little things can transform the body dramatically. Alright, so when you walk, walk with your arms swinging nice and fluidly, it dissipates force so you don’t put torque and more compression in your back leading to more microtrauma which will cause more pain. Alright, I hope this helps. Walk with your arms swinging. Ian Hart with MyBackPainCoach.com, BackPainRelief4Life.com have a great day!”

Degenerative Disc Disease

Published by on January 21, 2016 | Leave a response

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE… If you have been told you have degenerative disc disease, you may want to watch this video and check http://www.backpainrelief4life.com/

“Quick tip for those suffering or been told that they have Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). This is a label and a term and it means nothing; there is no such thing as DDD. If you look it up online and it’ll tell you this is not a disease. Everybody has degenerating discs, it’s part of getting older and I heard Dr. Stuart McGill say when you go to a Doctor’s office (Dr. Stuart McGill is one of the leading spine specialist in the world) and he’d say, when you go to the Doctor’s office and they see wrinkles on your face they don’t tell you, “You have degenerative face disease,” right? Because no one would accept that or buy that. But as soon as somebody accepts that they have DDD they believe that they have a disease when the true cause of all degeneration is typically stress, diet, are you getting the minerals? Are you intaking inflammatory foods? etc., etc., like, are you gluten intolerant, but you eat gluten which has an affinity for collagen so it attacks the collagen that wears down the joints faster, etc.

So, main thing is there is no such thing as Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). Everybody above the age of 50 when they look at a cadaver their disc are degenerated. Now, some are degenerated a little faster, because everybody’s different and some degenerates slower. Now, if you’re someone that the disc degenerates faster, then I would highly recommend:

  1. Looking at your diet
  2. Looking at your stress level
  3. Looking at your exercise/ activity level

How often are you moving? How often are you sitting? If you’re sitting, that is one of the most dangerous things for your back, like if you are sitting all day and you’re in a certain position where you are not activating your abs, you’re putting stress on your lower back, then this can cause your disc to degenerate because it is not getting the oxygen, the blood flow and the nutrients that it needs. And the nutrients is transferred through synovial fluid which is released through compression on the back. So compression is needed to keep your back healthy which means that you need to be lifting or doing things that cause compression on the spine and this is how we get nutrients and blood flow but if you’re sitting all day what happens is you create a lack of blood flow and energy to the certain area. Imagine you sit 8 hours a day, that’s 1/3 of your day, you are sleeping the other 8 hours typically right? So in between that time the time that you’re sitting and sleeping there is not much going on, so activity level is very important. So when you’re in between those two 8 hours of sitting and sleeping, you should be doing some activity right? that’s why we’ve created Back Pain Relief4Life, because it helps people get blood flow, nutrients and oxygen to their back so that they can come back, de-stress the lack of activity, the lack of blood flow, and nutrients to the back. So there’s no such thing as Degenerative Disc Disease; really it comes down to you being your own best doctor with nutrients, stress level, activity level and that’s gonna be the main three things that affect your back. So you make sure you focus on those areas and you should see 90% of all back issues and DDD go away if you’re able to incorporate healthy lifestyle and nutrition, reducing stress and  activity level.”

Relief4Life Ronnie Testimonial

“My name is Ronnie Reiselt. I came in with some lower back pain and some upper glute pain, some sciatic pain, numbness on the side of my leg. In the beginning I was kind  of skeptical of the program, It seemed very awkward in some of the movements but after the third session – it was a Saturday morning I used to have to when I was brushing my teeth I would squat and kind of relieve the pain in my glute and I was brushing my teeth and I was standing there and – I was like “Hey I’m not feeling it right now.” so I felt really really good so I do believe in the program and I have done it some on my own and I think I will continue to do it.

You just gotta get in here and try it. Just so you know anybody is skeptical about anything that is new and when it’s not a medicine and it’s not a quick relief then people you know they don’t tend to wanna try it but if you get in and give it a try you just… feel great!

Several people at the gym, some guys that I’ve told I was skeptical about it like a said in the beginning because… it doesn’t seem like you’re doing very much to achieve where I’m at so you just gotta get in and you gotta give it a try and let your body tell you how you feel.”

Back Pain Relief4Life is the world’s simplest and most effective way to eliminate back pain naturally… without the need for drugs… surgery… or fancy equipment.

How NOT To Walk With Back Pain

Published by on November 28, 2013 | Leave a response

“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here, Co- Creator of Back Pain Relief4Life and Back Pain Relief Expert. Today I’m going to speak to you about walking and back pain.

Many times people are trying to protect their back when they have back pain – which is a normal response. The brain is trying to protect your body. But, when it comes to walking, stiffening up will create twisting torque on the back and will actually create more trauma and more pain. You might feel like you’re protecting it, but you’re not. So what I am going to show you is how to walk when you’re dealing with back pain. This might be something that goes against your intuition, but it’s going to help you in the long-term and I can show you few other things. We have other videos that are going to help for you to find the right place to put your pelvis when you’re walking. But for now I’m just going to show you a quick walking technique. I’m going to show you what NOT to do. The first thing is when we see people walking with back pain, they tend to be tensed up and then move very slowly, they take short choppy steps, they try to protect their back, and actually what’s happening is there’s causing a twist and torque in their back.  This is not good especially if you have pain, it’s just going to exacerbate the problem.

So you want to relax the shoulders and you kind of want to let the arms swing while you’re walking and try to walk a little bit faster. You’ll notice that if you’re in back pain, you’ll actually feel better when you do this. So this is the way NOT to do it… tighten up here, you can see there’s twisting torque. If I just relaxed my arms and I let my arms swing and take a little bit bigger steps, and walk a little bit smoother, my body is going to function naturally, the spine stays straight, there’s no twist and torque going on. Twisting and torquing the spine is one of the worst things you can do. It’s the best way to cause back pain and injury later on and it puts a lot of compression on the disc.

So there you go, that’s one simple technique for walking. Make sure you are conscious of how you are. A lot of the people that we deal with with back pain we find as soon as they get on the bike or start walking, they tense up, they’re holding their body tight and they are actually not strengthening the muscles that need to be strengthened and they’re compensating creating more problems not only in their back but again you’ll see shoulders tense up, so the back muscles and the shoulders get tighter, and it creates more problems throughout the whole body.

Again, this is Ian Hart with backpainrelief4life.com. Go ahead and click the link below if you’re interested in checking out our program to help eliminate back pain as well as prevent future back pain and strengthen the core.”

Is Degenerative Disc Disease Really A Disease

Published by on November 19, 2013 | Leave a response

“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here with backpainrelief4life.com. I’m a Back Pain Relief Expert. And today we are going to be speaking about Degenerative Disc Disease.

We see a lot of people with various issues with their back, a myriad of issues coming in all the time from whatever – spine stenosis, bulging disc, we hear it all. I’d say about 20% of the time people come in and they say “Oh, I have degenerative disc disease” and I explain to people that there’s no such thing as degenerative disc disease – everybody has degenerating discs. We want to limit the speed and the rate at which they generate through moving properly, that’s part of what our back program is about. So moving properly is going to prevent you from causing injury to the discs, to the back and therefore, wearing the disc down. We want longevity in the disc. I was very pleased to see that actually Web MD when I was doing a research and just trying to see what doctors say because doctors tell people they have a disease. How do you feel if you’re told you have a disease but you don’t actually have a disease? All of a sudden that changes everything in your mind and think “Oh I have a disease. Now, poor me…  I have a disease that’s the reason why I have back pain.” That’s not the reason why you have back pain and back pain can actually be eliminated and you don’t have to live with back pain.

Web MD says, what is degenerative disc disease? Degenerative Disc Disease is not really a disease but a term used to describe the normal changes in your spinal disc as you age. So instead of a doctor telling somebody “Oh that’s just an aging disc, you have an aging disc”, they’ve gone “oh ,you have degenerative disc disease”. Instead of saying oh that’s totally normal, people think that they’re doomed for the rest of their lives because they have a disease and that they’re gonna live with this disease (Degenerative Disc Disease).

And this weekend, I got to spend about 16 hours with Dr. Stuart McGill. He’s one of the leading, the world’s best spine specialists. He’s a professor at the University of Waterloo and he said something that I really found funny but I also enjoyed because it helps understand if a doctor said something like this to you how would you react. So Degenerative Disc Disease, the doctor might say to you “but what if you saw wrinkles on your face and he said oh you have degenerative face disease because you have wrinkles on your face.” What would you say about that? What would you feel about that? It seems kind of silly that there’s a term called degenerative disc disease when all it really means is that your disc is aging; just like everybody else in the world, if you cut every person open after the age of 50. You’re gonna see that every disc is degenerative to some degree, that’s a fact we know that.

So remember, Degenerative Disc Disease if you were told you have Degenerative Disc Disease, you do not have a disease. You have a normal aging spine. If you have pain in your back, it is most likely do to improper movement patterns. So, what you can do is go ahead and click the link below and get started on the program that can help reverse the aging process, get more blood flow and nutrients to the discs, take pressure off the disc so they stop degenerating faster and therefore get rid of your pain. We created Back Pain Relief4Life specific for that issue. So go ahead and click the link below, you can see other people who have had the same issues, much worse issues than just Degenerative Disc Disease and in just a few sessions they feel great.

So again, this is Ian Hart with backpainrelief4life.com. I hope this helped you out. If you have been told you have Degenerative Disc Disease, you now know that you do not have a disease. So the first step now is to get better, make sure you get rid of the pain and you can start that now by clicking the link below.”
