How To Sit With Lower Back Pain

If you’ve ever struggled to sit comfortably for even a few minutes without your lower back tightening, aching, or flaring up, this episode will change how you think about sitting forever. In this conversation, we break down the science behind sitting and spinal pressure, including why sitting actually places more stress on your discs than standing and how certain positions can increase that pressure even further.

This episode goes beyond posture advice, because the real solution isn’t finding the “perfect chair” or the “correct position.” It’s understanding how your body works and why variety, movement, and balance matter more than any ergonomic setup.

This episode covers:

Why sitting is inherently stressful for your spine (even with good posture)

What research reveals about disc pressure in different positions

The biggest mistake people make when trying to “fix” their sitting

Why no chair, cushion, or setup works long-term

The simple strategy that actually reduces pain throughout the day

How muscle imbalances change the way your body handles sitting
