Wow! It's a bunch of good tips that I brought here. I identified myself behind my bad back, and I'm even here agonizing right now, wondering if what I'm feeling is a hernia or something less serious. But I have been suffering from kyphosis and other things since forever. Recently I have been trading my car for a bike and it has generated good experiences, not only for health but also for mind (fresh air, real life, landscapes, listening to podcasts or music on the way, etc).
And as for the rest of the tips, I have to agree, but in a way the big problem is that in general this sort of thing is much easier "said than done". But we're in the fight, aren't we?
I liked the way you write! I will be following you!

Oh, welcome to the world of eternal back problems! A hernia honestly preferable if that's the case, not to say its necessarily more pleasant, but it's curable with a surgery. A slipped disc is something that can 'heal' on its own, but that leaves permanent scarring, that area of which will be weaker and more prone to happening again in the future, as I have already discovered... I feel like I am now unable to live an active lifestyle. I probably can, but perpetually carefully.
Kyphosis sounds awful though. I think a couple of my students have something similar... Sucks.
Yeah 'easier said than done' I agree with but these things can always be done in incremental steps. Peterson talked about this too, how some of his clients were in total mess. He tried to get him to vacuum his room, as a 35 year old living with his mum.
He came back after a week saying that he took the vacuum out, left it in front of his door and then walked over it for the next week without moving or using it, was just too much to bother with. So they set even smaller goals to accomplish in his case. Pick up the vacuum as a week assignment. That's it.
Some people are just like that. Others are more able to look at themselves and make huge changes they need, we all have different limits. First step I guess is finding out what those limits are for each individual and progressing from there.
Thanks for the read and the follow! I don't post much these days but I'm trying to.
