Lower Back Pain

[tattuna]

X2 on the inversion table. I have a herniated disc L5/S1. Couldn't walk for 4 months last year. Scary! Don't mess around with back pain. I had pains that weren't really bad and I ignored it. Woke up one morning and I was paralyzed and dealing with an insane amount of pain. Don't tough it out. Get a good seat, use the inversion table, strengthen your core, and stretch. Supporting yourself with your core is key. Use your abs to support yourself while sitting. Yoga has been working wonders for me as well. Good luck!

X2 On the yoga. It's pretty much a necessity after a long outing on the water. Just got back from 2.5 day mothership, sore back like never before. Some yoga stretches last night and my back feels good as new.

This helped me go from a couple of hours on the water = lots of back pain to 9 hours on the water and almost no pain.

Thanks for all of the helpful information. I plan to try a different seat to see if that makes a difference.
