Get To Your Core

  • Get To Your Core: Dr Steve Hoffman is one of the top core exercise guys out there if you want to improve posture. Sometimes he gets in too deep but if you watch all the way through and pay attention it is worth the time spent.

Strength Camp

  • Stengthcamp:  Elliot Hulse owns a strength training YouTube Channel. He’s truthful, knowledgeable, coarse and vulgar. His earthen common guy appeal is what I love about his site. Not for those who are easily offended but if you want great insight into posture, strength training, holistic health & mind-body stuff, then Elliot is the man for you.

Fitness Blender

The posture video I have linked to is safe for the beginner to do, but too easy for the intermediate. If you need to improve your posture workout and don’t know where to start. Start at Fitness Blender.

  • Thank you for this excellent blog and for the links on this page Dr Ken. I have a slight issue with the Cobra exercise. I did it once and developed severe sciatica which went away after a while. I can do the Sphinx without problems. I am a website developer which means hours of sitting at the computer which I know is bad. I try to keep an arch in my back but my muscles get very tired after a while. I’m going to try your exercises on the other page. thanks again for all you do.

      Thanks for your question Wendy. Sound like you either have stenosis or a disc herniation that is quite large or an anterior disc herniation.

      You can buy yourself a lumbar support roll which will help you keep the arch in your lower back. A rolled up towel that is secured on either end with tape or elastic bands will do as a temporary fix.

      Hope that helps your lower back pain.
