Lower back pain, buttock pain and legs pain: exercises, posture correction and ergonomic advice to relieve muscle pain
23 videos • 2,834 views • by Olivier Girard - the Posture Guy In this series, we will discuss why office workers and others have lower back pain, buttock pain, legs pain, groin pain, sciatica, etc. Particular areas of concern are the piriformis muscle and the iliopsoas muscle. Some of it is related to your environment and the organization of your time (that's what ergonomics is concerned with), and some of it is related to your posture (that's what you do with your muscles and joints). If we want you to feel better, we need to work on both. Let me show you some posture exercises, how to stretch, give you advice on how to sit, how to improve ergonomics at work, etc. One more important rule: these exercises shouldn't cause pain. Don't do anything that you don't feel comfortable with, and only practice within your pain-free range of motion. If your physical therapist or GP advised against some of these exercises, please follow their advice: I have done my best to suggest only safe exercises, but I do not know your medical file and I do not see how you practice. However, feel free to contact me if you want a private consultation.
