Reduce low back pain by standing over your legs.

Avoid Leaning Against Your Lower Back

It is common for people to stand by leaning against the lower back while pushing the pelvis forward. Your back doesn’t end in the lumbar region, it continues to the bottom of your pelvis. Standing over your legs takes pressure off your lumbar region, as well as allowing you to stand taller and move more easily. Watch the video at Tip 77.
