Re: Some advice from people who work on their feet!

Comfy comfy COMFY shoes. Whether that means lots of padding or no padding, laces up your ankles, low cuts, whatever, give your feet and ankles the support that works best for them.

Lift and bend your knees whenever humanly possible. Get your hips involved, too, and twist your lower and mid back areas.

Lift with your legs NOT YOUR BACK!

While I was seeing a physio about my arm problems, I mentioned I was having lower back trouble from half-bending over most of the day in my new job. She said there's a layer of muscle running between the hip bones. If you flex it, it takes the strain off the lower back. It's not something you can do all day, or even for an hour, even ten minutes! But if you flex them several times every now and again, you're relieving the pressure on the back muscles. Anyway, it helped me.

The tough part is figuring out if you're doing it right! If you're female, think kegels. There's even less obvious movement, though. And it's right above the pubic bone instead of inside. Regardless of gender, you won't see any movement in the flesh (unless you're really skinny or already ripped). For me, it's more a sensation of tension, hardening the organs inside, since that's really all I thought about down there in the first place.

Start out by trying to locate and manipulate the area when you're lying down. When you have your legs straight out, it's the muscle that helps keep your hips on the ground rather than bending your back when you lift one knee toward your chest.

I think I've talked enough, at this point (I know I tend to carry on). Good luck in the new job, and hope you feel better!

Yoga uses that muscle layer a lot to support various poses and transition movements. My beginning teacher said that when it's engaged in the right way, you should still be able to breathe without impediment. I found that a useful tip for isolating it -- if I start to feel restriction in my breath, I know it's not quite right and I relax and try again. (Still learning!)

When I do get it right, it definitely helps support a large number of movements!

I completely forgot about the breathing part, thanks!
