Top Comments of this video!! :3
before the start of the vid, i just wanna say, going to the gym regularly was the best thing i did for myself as an artist who is sitting at home 24/7 . not only my body started to look better, my mind has improved exponentially. Deadlifting and squats helped me with my back pains, and doing bicep reps helps me manage my wrist pains too

Absolutely based. Your older video on this topic (when you were talking about your old career and how you sat all the time and had lower back issues) was what led me to work out. I also had lower back problems from sitting a lot. Now I'm in much better shape and use my own body for muscle reference. Thanks Adam! A lot more artists need to take care of themselves.

Just heard the news that my favourite cartoonist, the incredible Jeff Smith is recovering after a cardiac arrest. He's 60 but has obviously spent a lifetime behind the drawing desk. Really gave me pause for thought today as I sat hunched over the Wacom full of coffee and cake.

I used to have a lot of back pain when drawing to the point I was wondering if I was gonna have to give up art and fix my spine with surgery....until I started positioning my display tablet a little higher and a little further away from my body..and I never feel pain anymore. It also helped me to practice drawing with my shoulders instead of my wrist. It was such a simple change and it had a huge impact.
I still have a weak ass tho haha

I'm so glad an a artist finally did this. I've been dealing with back, neck and shoulder pain since forever. Eventually the back pain got so bad that i started looking into flexibility and exercise and I've been working out for over 7 years years now. Best decision ever. Never gonna stop taking care of my body. I had neglected it for so long before that. Had a bout of sciatic pain too. And when you said that its a pain in the ass i laughed so hard because thats exactly what it felt like. And it got even worse with lying down and even just laying my legs flat caused shooting pain up and down my legs. I almost gave up but decided to look it and started very slowly doing exercise to heal it and when it started to feel better it made me think " well I'm never doing that again. That pain was horrible". Used to drink a shit tonne of coffee too. Getting everything balanced out has changed my quality of life so much that even words can't explain.

Adam, I'm starting to believe you have mindreading abilities. Your videos always seem to come at the best time possible.
Thanks for raising awareness on this topic that can be easily ignored until the worst happens. Great video!
Much love from Brazil

As a lifelong member of the Artist Shrimp Posture Society, I'm starting to feel the effects of sitting crossed-legged on the chair all day and slouching. My bed isn't that good either but can't do much about it until I move out. The Voice in my head keeps telling me to go to the gym and at least do treadmill. I cannot deny the need to get off my ass. Adam hath spoken!! 🏃♀️

I am a pretty active person. I work out, and often do physical labor. However, a year of sedentary stressful night shift work was all it took for my health to crumble and my back to hurt like hell. Quitting that job and going back to being active was the best decision I could have made in that situation. Never again

Thank you for the video. I used to think I have disc problems turned out I have a kind of spine arthritis, then came CFS and fibromyalgia. I draw in bed but get up every 30 mins.

As a musician, singer and artists there are a few things that SAVED me: Jaw alignment technically known as : occlusal rehabilitation. The Jaw can impact all these bones muscles and tendons. Even the Tongue. Then Alexander technique followed by Pilates. And lastly but never least:I will never wear crappy shoes again and have cheap mattresses again. The pain it causes is NOT worth it. My health is worth it. Never under estimate the damage or improvement good supporting shoes (mostly walking sneakers running shoes have no walk support fyi) and what a good supporting mattress can do (never again will I get a foam mattress).

A lot of my immediate family have lower back issues. In my 20's I started experiencing it. I would go to bed feeling normal but I would wake up with my back being tight and the feeling like I had twisted it or had gotten a cramp sometime during sleep. A co-worker suggested that while I was sleeping on my sides my lower back was at a twist from my legs resting on the mattress. They suggested trying to sleep with a body pillow to elevate my legs to prevent the twisting. I thought it was a ridiculous suggestion until I tried it. Within days my back pain went away. Since then, I sleep with 2 body pillows (one for each side). I am now 50 and I haven't lower back issues since then. Anytime I sleep at a hotel or somewhere other than home, I always wake up with lower back pain.

Adam this is so hugely important, i so glad you are taking a moment to highlight this. Its such a neglected topic in the art community

As someone currently who does not have access to health care this is a God sent information and warning. Thank you need to rewatch over again
|
By far the most informative video on the subject I've ever come across, and in a way that's serious but not overly harsh or judgmental. Wonderful.

I just want to say thank you for all your efforts and for this video. It means a lot to me and a lot of people. I wish you health and strength, and again, thank you very much.

I'm a freelance animator at 31 old and have been on and off dealing with lower back pain for the last few years. Only recently have I been learning about what best to do for my conditions and overall well being. Recognizing a good few things that have helped me so far in this video. Cheers for bringing this sort of stuff up! I especially want the youngsters to pay close attention. People think being an artist can be mentally taxing? Let's hope they can avoid being an artist in pain because of art ❤❤❤

Great content, Adam.
If you ever want to revisit other parts of the body, talking about arms, fingers, tendons etc would be incredibly useful!
As a violinist, carpal tunnel is something that affected me pretty young. And its crazy how the type of pain differs from people who get carpal tunnel syndrome from computer use.

Certified Massage Therapist here. I just wanted to say everything you're saying is spot on, especially with impinged nerves and weak glutes, Arthritis in joints that deteriorate the muscle, back pain and herniated disk in the lumbar sacral region. I am also an artist at heart, and artist are always at risk of being injured through repetitive movement and terrible back posture. When I do deep tissue on my clients that sit at a desk all day their glutes are on FIRE. Their hamstrings are tight, their calves are tight, their tibialis anterior (front of lef muscles) are rock solid and its just really sad. There are several nerve that get impinge when you're drawing, the median nerves (responsible for carpal tunnel syndrome) the radial and ulnar nerve. These run up your arm flexor and some artist put pressure on these nerves when they draw. I highly believe artist need a capable massage therapist they can go to in order to sustain their life. NOT a spa. They don't care of fixing problems, but a sports massage therapist that understands the body. Artist life is lonely and sedentary, but your body will not last if you don't maintain it. I call it getting maintenance work. If anything, weekly stretching and movement will be beneficial for artist if they can't afford a massage therapist. Investing in a professional MT gun will do wonders, getting a tennis ball and lying on it for trigger points in the back will be effective, and getting glute work done. I can't tell you how many clients are shocked when their lower back pain is fixed just by glute work! Releasing the hip flexor and pelvic muscles (psoas) will do WONDERS! Artist have to strengthen the muscles they take for granted because the body will take advantage of the lack of blood flow and circulation by keeping you stuck in bad posture. Anyways, just my two cents since everything you mentioned I've helped people alleviate and work on. Hope artist actually consider massage therapy treatment. No, not those Chinese parlos (they're not actually licensed) a real MT with training. Find one you like and stick with them. It did wonders for me as artist who became a massage therapist. Fantastic video Adam!!! 👏
