Banish Lower Back Pain

Banish Back Pain
How I Ended Back Pain by Changing 3 Behaviors

I've suffered crushing lower back pain for years. Three motions or behaviors hurt my back:

1. Standing

2. Sitting

3. Walking

So I changed my behavior for all 3:

When standing, I wear zero-drop shoes, such as the Merrell Barefoot Tough Glove in the office. {More formal minimalist shoes reviewed}

While walking, I wear zero-drop shoes, such as Vibram FiveFingers, and carry less weight, which was pulling on my shoulders and torquing my back. I'm a student, and the majority of weight owed to my 7 lb MacBook Pro, which I replaced with the 2.3 lb MacBook Air.

I minimize sitting, but when I must sit, I sit with good posture, fidget, and take frequent breaks.

These simple changes have allowed me to banish back pain.

Whenever I sit too long, sit with poor posture, or wear shoes with anything but zero-drop heels, I hurt, and the pain reminds me to modify my behavior.
