Lower back pain

If you are experiencing lower back pain from standing up too long, you can gently squeeze the muscles in your butt to relieve the pain. By squeezing (like you're squeezing your cheeks together.) your butt, you rotate your hips forward out of a position that might have too much anterior pelvic tilt. This will flatten your back, and relieve the uneven pressure on your lumbar vertebrae that is likely causing the pain. This can also help if your experience non-specific knee pain when sitting down, or climbing up stairs. Squeeze your butt before beginning to climb, or sit, and concentrate on maintaining the squeeze throughout.
