These two videos came from this dump https://imgur.com/gallery/little-bit-of-everything-first-dump-NyGkyBi#/ a few months ago
They have drastically improved my life
Hats off to you, @HappyMirror

#1 My spine hurts just looking at that, but then again it is also a bent spine.
owlowl
thank you... I was searching for this video
KevinStrexcorp
I started doing one of the stretches shown by these folks, and it's really helped!
HappyMirror
Wow, it makes me happy if I could help you with my stupid dump!

Bless you for resharing. I will use this once I stop being sick because these would definitely trigger more coughing fits and my lungs have been battered enough
somnif
Yeah stretching won't really solve my kyphosis as its due to the shape of the vertebrae themselves...
levyathyn
I really need to try this, but I genuinely have problems kneeling or laying. I'll see if I can work something out... if I remember.

I always get my medical advice from 60s video clips on the internet
LoneOrtolan
I do understand that, but these are the exact stretches my physiotherapist gave me for my thoracic radiculopathy and shoulder/upper back issues.
That said, I wouldn't recommend taking the advice of a random person on the internet too, but for those of you in the US who can't afford to go to a physiotherapist...
...remember the breathe through the stretch, use a cushion/yoga mat, and if it hurts at all - STOP.
To the rest of the world with actual health care, go see a professional.

It's the extra 45 seconds that lets you know it is based on science!
WooNeat
Here I was thinking where did you find medical videos online from the 1960s...
xerolf
ill also definitely do these exercises some day.
Commander5AM
I wanna try these but I don't have that much floor space
vindik8or
Do it in public and make society suffer your back pain.
Commander5AM
Gods I wish my anxiety would let me do that
jargonmon
What's the little clock mean? Because I doubt I can hold those poses for 8 hours.
TK421isAFK
It's telling you to do these exercises for 30 seconds each, every 8 hours: morning, mid-afternoon, and right before bed.

https://www.fivebelow.com/products/foam-roller-12in-x-6in this thing is a life saver for me and my fellow computer jockeys that sit in chairs all damn day
Magnebro
I have a favorite towel for rolling up, those rollers are all much too thick for me
WebDragonG3
well basically you're supposed to reverse-plank with your shoulders on the roller, and work back to your lower back and then back up -- if you're too low to the ground it doesn't work as well because you can't arch backwards enough over it or when you get to the lower back.
DontKnowTheSource
So. I done just did all of these. Thank you. Thank you so much. My back is feeling so much better. I'm doing this daily
Magnebro
Yeah #1 is my nightly before bed now!

It's amazing how many exercises you can't do with a busted ecu (wrist tendon that let's you bend your hand back, for shit like push ups)
vissago
these work. i have issues at C4-C7 and that translates to T1-T3 being pissed off all the time. SUPER FUCKING HARD to stretch or move t1-t3. do these. they help.
InfantofPrague
I sadly understand this all too well. And yes. They do help big time. EDS keeps me doing this stuff all the time.
Callipygius
Good to know. I think strengthening exercises like I t y helps a lot too
vissago
i bought a 'comfortrac' unit and i have to use it every day

That's what I do with these. Never to return.
UltraHellboy
Hey! I returned! It took several months of having a daily reminder that I ignored, but I'm finally here to do these exercises.
UserNamesArentEasy
I have a Inforgraph/Tutorial favorites folder for these types of things. I check it out when I finally get motivated to better myself.

Just stalked your profile…. NICE!

Yeh no. I damaged my tailbone and crushed cartilage by falling and landing similar to how he's hitting with that hammer. Periodically I have to go have my legs tugged on to realign it with the rest of me because I can't afford the fucking surgery.

I like the reveal at the end that we can go up to an 8 lb sledgehammer if "medically necessary".

Yes, this is malletpractice. But lucky it's been proven that you can eliminate hip pain by not feeling bellow the waist.

That is how you break your cocyx, which is part of your spine, incredibly painful and a reasonable chance of nerve damage to your leg and groin regions into the mix. Never, ever do this.
Ryebread91
Wait.... I fell on my tailbone in 9th grade in gym class. Then in my 20s often when running or lifting something heavy or certain sex positions my upper hamstring just below by butt cheek will cramp. Could that be related?
SilverHornet
It's possible, the relevant nerves run all through there.
Ryebread91
Hm... Right where the "o" is just below the cheek. That's pretty much it.
SilverHornet
you could talk to a physiotherapist potentially, medically speaking any nerve damage is 99.9999% lifelong by now, but might be possible to mitigate the effects
