Husband who likes to drive and back pain
My husband loves to drive the car, but for several months now, he's been "driving the car."My back hurts.and often speaks of it as "the best thing that ever happened to me. Apparently, the five-year-old(18kg)She had injured her back when she went upstairs to carry her oldest daughter, who was a little girl, and her back pain seemed to worsen from there. However, thisStretch poles make it much easier.So, it does not seem to be a serious illness.
Also, since that time, my husband has been "aI go to an osteopath for my back.I started saying, "I've been trying to consciously relax the muscles in my lower back and buttocks. Then I asked the osteopath there, "I sit most of the time at work and travel stupid long distances in the car, could that be the cause?" I asked him.
"Definitely due to being in the same position for a long time. Driving is pretty bad, especially since you have to accelerate and brake, and you're sitting without your feet on the ground."
He was told.
Nevertheless.I don't feel that much back pain while driving the car.Yes, it is. You must really enjoy driving, huh?
Fortunately, I don't have back pain.But maybe that's just a lack of exercise. They drive cars all the time and don't exercise or walk, so they don't have muscle strength.(I'm putting myself on the shelf.)My husband said, "I'm not a
Well, that's just the way it is.
and recently started muscle training at home.
In addition, I often sit in front of a computer all the time at work.I bought a balance ball and sit on it all day to work.Yes.
Sitting on a balance ball all day is said to be very tiring, perhaps because it strengthens the core.This is pretty good!He says. The only problem is that sitting on the balance ball all day makes him want to go to the bathroom so badly. w
And so, my husband went to an osteopath, did stretch poles, and sometimes resorted to medication.
So we've been trying to combat this, and finally, the other day, we even got our hands on some Pip-Elkivan!
In my opinion.Pip-Elkivan is for people who are in a lot of pain.Since the image of "I'm not sure what to do", well, I'm starting to think a little more seriously that my husband's back pain could somehow be cured.
Back Pain Countermeasure
."I like driving but suffer from back pain.I wonder if there are a lot of car and driving enthusiasts who suffer from back pain, because I sometimes see blogs on the Internet by people who say, "I have a lot of back pain.
."AT cars are more prone to back pain because the lower back and legs are fixedor, conversely, "Stress on the lower back from operating the clutch in an unreasonable position in a manual transmission vehicleThere is so much information out there," or so much information in the world, that it is honestly difficult to determine which information is correct and what is best to take in.
Also, there are many seat cushions for people with back pain, but I don't want to put a cushion on it when the Porsche is equipped with good seats....
I remember a mother who used to be with me at my daughter's kindergarten and came to pick her up and drop her off every day in her MT car. I couldn't help but think, "That's awesome that you can drive a MT car!I say."
You get used to it. I've crashed my car 360 times, but I got used to it when I drove every day (laughs). But when I was operating the clutch in a manual transmission car, I hurt my back... I went to an osteopathic clinic, and he said, "You've got to get used to it.Bones are out of alignment.I was told, "I'm sorry. It seems I've been driving in an impossible position for a long time. So I'm going to an osteopathic clinic for a while.
He said. At that time I said, "I want to be able to drive a MT car, but the price is too high (-_-)...I honestly thought, "What the hell is this?
Is back pain a common thing for people who drive cars a lot? If any of you readers suffer from back pain or know of any recommended back pain remedies, I would be glad to hear your comments.

I have no back pain and no good measures.
I think the article suggests that "unreasonable body posture" is responsible for a large percentage of the problem, although Mina's husband seems to be different.
> Driving in particular is not quite as good because you have to accelerate and brake, so you sit without putting your foot down.
It seems strange that the left foot should be firmly on the footrest while driving (although it is hard to do so in a car without one). In the case of a manual transmission, if the seat is adjusted to a position where the clutch can be depressed firmly, the driver's hips should be pressed against the seat (not in the same position) every time he/she steps on the clutch. In the case of a manual transmission, if the seat is adjusted to a position where you can depress the clutch firmly, it would be better if your waist is pressed against the seat (not in the same position) every time you step on it. However, in the case of my 718 Cayman, compared to other cars I have driven, I feel that my left foot is almost extended when I depress the clutch. Otherwise, the brake pedal is too close.
When driving on the highway for a long time, in order to avoid "staying in the same position for a long time," I sometimes consciously move my upper body (the position of my waist) to the right or left or even back and forth slightly to change the position of my weight to avoid pain in my buttocks because I am a skinny person.
I wonder what you all are doing.

It's been a while!
>In the case of MT, if the seat is adjusted to a position where the clutch can be depressed firmly, it would be better if your waist is pressed against the seat every time you step on the clutch (so that you are not in the same position).
Indeed, yes, a MT car seems to be better for my back, on the contrary, it is less stressful for my back. My husband said the other day, "My back seems to have gotten worse since the air-cooled car came and I started driving an air-cooled car.
If I had chosen MT air-cooled, my back pain would have been better (lol).
>I feel like my left foot is almost extended when I step on the clutch. Otherwise the brake pedal is too close.
It surely is! Otherwise, the brake pedal would be too close and it would be like a standing knee (to put it mildly).
I'm sure you all have your own ideas about seat position and other things to do when driving long distances, so I'd like to share them with you again!
By the way, my husband has made it so that the new comments, which were previously suggested by PorscheDreamer, are now displayed on the top page.
Thank you for the great idea!
Thank you for your continued support.
Dear Mina
It is just as it should be.
From my experience so far, I can say that the Recaro seats that were standard equipment in the Integra Type R (DB8) are now in use.
I feel that I had the least back pain.
This one is manually adjusted, and of course there is no such thing as lumbar support, but it has been trouble-free even after 170,000 kilometers of driving.
In fact, I have been feeling pain in my lower back more and more lately, and this article has made me wonder if there is anything I can do to prevent lower back pain.
I remembered that the Integra Type R was the most comfortable machine I had ever used in my life with my beloved machine.
Therefore, I am attaching a URL of RECARO that you may have already seen but may be helpful.
It would be our great pleasure if we could be of any help to you.

I'll get right on it and start practicing some of my own back pain remedies!!!

I've often heard that Recaro seats are very good.
I am thinking that the seats must be great because of the good price.
Thank you for sending the URL so quickly!
Such a back pain x RECARO site...!
Does this mean that many drivers are still suffering from back pain?
I will take a good look at it.
Thank you for everything!
I'll leave the therapeutic comments to the experts.
A year and a half ago, I had back pain because the chair I had to sit in at work didn't fit.
Back pain is painful.
It's a rather expensive looking chair made in Germany.
I have difficulty sitting and staying in the same position for long periods of time.
So, I had no choice.
I purchased two low rebound cushions from Amazon, one for work and one for home.
The low rebound cushions are quite thick.
When I sat down, my buttocks felt stable and supported around my tailbone.
The cause of my back pain was obvious, and after using it for a while, my back pain went away, but
The chair does not change so I continue to use this low rebound cushion at work.
It's starting to sag a bit, though.
Also, my back was hurting at times.
I even put it on my Porsche.
It's definitely not cool.
Even more so because it had beige seats with black cushions.
You get back into your car, say at a service area, and you open the door.
I was both embarrassed and genuinely disappointed.
But you can't turn your back on them.
It is stable to sit on while driving and has a bit of a hold.
Above all, it was comfortable to sit on, so I think it was effective.
I thought it might be a good idea for you to consider this as an option, since you will not have to use it once your back pain is healed.
In addition, the cushion is thick enough for sitting.
When used in a car, the seat must also be lowered accordingly.
Then, when driving, be sure to take breaks at intervals of no more than two hours, and
I do light stretching, etc.
Tetsu.
Thank you for your comment!
>A year and a half ago, I had back pain because the chair I was forced to sit in at work didn't fit.
Oh...you're right...yes, you certainly don't get to choose the chair you sit in at work.
(But I'm jealous of the chairs that look expensive lol)
Moreover, many chairs are not designed for sitting for long periods of time.
>I purchased two low rebound cushions from Amazon, one for work and one for home.
Oh yes!!! Those low rebound cushions look good!
>Even more so because it had beige seats with black cushions.
>When you get back to your car, say at a service area, and open the door.
>I was both embarrassed and genuinely disappointed.
>But you can't turn your back on it.
Sure...even if you don't agree with the design, the first step is to relieve your back pain and correct your back pain, right?
My husband says that his back feels like it's been hurting since he started on air-cooled, and the air-cooled seats are black.
These low rebound cushions look good!
I'll tell my husband about it!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your continued support!
Back pain is very painful, isn't it? It is scary to be told that your bones are out of alignment.
Having said that, I'm sure many osteopaths will point out to you that your bones are out of alignment!
In my profession, I often look at CT and MRI images, and I see many cases of bone misalignment even in images of people who do not have back pain symptoms.
We believe that these people are prone to back pain due to load imbalance.
So it is not that MT driving causes extreme bone misalignment, but that people whose bones are originally misaligned are more likely to have symptoms with MT driving!
Of course, I don't know what would happen if you rode every day for extremely long periods of time.
If the symptoms aren't too strong at the moment, then I guess you can safely ride MT! (lol)
Muscle mass and flexibility are important, and I feel that sitting posture is equally important.
We believe that the angle of the thighs and the bend of the hips are important to relieve back pain in the riding posture.
Every day I go to different workplaces and sit in different chairs, and the ones that don't fit me cause back pain (tears).
In the case of such a chair, the legs may be raised by placing a thin cushion or a stack of towels under the thighs or by placing a stand at the foot of the chair.
At the same time, I was conscious of strengthening the physiological kyphosis of the lumbar vertebrae and inserting a cushion in the lower back, which was effective in alleviating the symptoms.
The posture may be hard at first because the back muscles are straightened, but I think it is a posture that is less stressful on the lower back.
The boarding attitude also seems to be common.
The thighs should be slightly raised when viewed from the side, and with the back and buttocks firmly in contact with the back, the lower back should be pushed forward by about one fist using a lumbar support.
If the seat surface is too low or the distance to the foot pedals is too great, the thighs may drop and cause back pain.
I used to put the support on my buttocks by mistake, but when I shifted it up and put it on my waist, it became very comfortable (lol).
It is important to note that even if lumbar support is used, if the position is too low, the lumbar vertebrae will not be properly anteverted.
I have written at length, but I hope this will be of some help to you (^^)
Mr. Tommy.
Thank you for your comment!
Back pain seems to be really painful when you get it... (I'm saying this like I'm someone else, shelving the fact that I don't have back pain, but there's a good chance I do).
>I don't know, of course, if you ride extremely long hours every day.
>If the symptoms aren't too strong at the moment, I think you can safely ride MT! (lol)
My husband said, "My back is better if I haven't ridden air cooled much lately. I wondered if it might have been the air-cooled seats" (no way lol).
It doesn't seem to be as bad these days as it used to be, so I was riding my Boxster to work the other day.
>I go to different workplaces and sit in different chairs every day, and the ones that don't fit cause me back pain.
Wow, that's tough... you don't get to choose the chair at work, and if it's designed to be bad for your back if you sit in it for long periods of time, you're going to have a hard time.
It's pretty painful...
Since we often sit in the same position for long periods of time at work, I realized that it is also important to review the chairs at work.
As Tommy said, again, flexibility, muscle mass, and seat position are all important.
And it seems to be affecting my back pain quite a bit.
I will pass your comments on to my husband.
Thank you so much!
Dear Mina
I'm sorry your husband has a bad back. (It's an expression I miss.)
As Tommy said, the cause of 80% of the back pain in the world is unknown.
I don't mean to denigrate the osteopaths at the clinic, but since my back has been in use for an estimated 40 years, there is more or less some misalignment and deformation.
I think everyone has it. If it's just a touch off, then maybe it's a really great off.
If the symptoms are very severe (numbness, feeling like you have difficulty with strength), I would recommend seeing an orthopedic surgeon, but your husband's symptoms
If this is the case, I would guess that the symptomatic treatment you are currently doing is generally good. It would be good to restore muscle strength and flexibility. I think it is a good idea to restore muscle strength and flexibility.
Therefore, stretch poles and balance balls seem to be effective for your husband's back pain.
Since back pain can occur outside of the musculoskeletal system, this may be a good time to check the internal system.
It is almost the same as my back pain that the pain is caused by the blood circulation being compromised by the same posture for a long time.
I don't feel pain first when I drive like an adrenaline rush (laughs).
Bantelin, Ammeltz, etc. are effective for so-called acute inflammatory pain (bruises, sprains, etc.), but not for my back pain, and
Perhaps hardening in your husband's back pain? I think so. I think it might work, although I have an illusion that it is working because of the feeling of heat when I put it on (laugh).
I know this is a long post, but in general, I'm pretty sure that's the way your husband is doing it right now!
Please tell them to take care of themselves... ♪
nave acid
Yes...he has been having back pain, just a little better lately.
>If this is the case, I would guess that the symptomatic treatment you are currently doing is generally fine. I think it would be better to return to the direction of muscle strength and flexibility. I think it would be good to restore the muscle strength and flexibility.
Oooh, spot on advice!
Certainly, it seems that returning to muscle strength and flexibility is still okay for once, as it works quickly and is not as bad as it could be.
Also, checking the internal organ system, yes, I'm sure that's true... and it seems to have something to do with blood circulation.
If this happens, a full body check might help you find something better (laughs).
Ammeltz and others certainly seem to think it feels good and sounds good at the time, but
That doesn't seem to help the pain...
Thank you very much for all the valuable information.
I will be sure to pass this on to my husband!
Nice to meet you.
I recently found your blog and have been reading it.
You may have already tried it.
We too have back pain (+ neck pain + left knee pain).
This is my own way of improving.
In my work, we sometimes talk about posture.
I was looking at my posture in the mirror and thought to myself.
He said that when viewed from the side, the pelvis (buttocks) tends to appear lower than one thinks (Japanese people).
Isn't the pelvic angle the key?
In.
Can you adjust to your own posture?

The angular relationship between the seat and the back remains the same.
Try to get the seat a little closer to horizontal.
Hunchbackedness is reduced.

Nice to meet you, my name is Mina.
Thank you for finding this blog out of all the blogs out there!
>We also have back pain (+ neck pain + left knee pain).

Oh... that's hard...
>Isn't the pelvic angle the key?
>.
>Can you adjust to your own posture?
Okay, the pelvic angle is important...
Also, I hadn't thought about the angle of the seat, but sure enough, depending on whether it's angled up or down, it's going to be a lot more comfortable.
That changes a lot of the strain on my back and other postures!
I see...
>As the people above have written.
>I also started stretching, working out, and
>Better than ever.
I think it is important to review from the fundamental point of view, such as strengthening the muscles and correcting distortions by working out properly.
I was reminded that it is very important.
The GT3 will be delivered at the end of April at the earliest, and at the end of May at the latest (although there is a big difference ^^;).
I'll be back with more articles on this!
Thank you for your continued support.
Nice to meet you.
I came here looking for an article on the Boxster Spyder and have enjoyed reading it from the beginning. Sorry for commenting on an old article.
I myself sit in front of a PC almost all the time at work. In addition, I have been driving about 60,000 km a year for about 6 years.
At one point, I had a back injury and had to sleep with a compress every day.
I had been going to a sports club for about 20 years, but I started to have a lot of cramps. I heard that the balance between abdominal and back muscles is important, so I started to train on a backstrap stand (a 45-degree slanted stand) every time since then, and the back pain stopped.
This may be due to the fact that I trained only the abdominal muscles and did not do back muscles, but I am keenly aware that muscle strength around the waist decreases with age, so it is important to train with awareness.
Sakonin.
You came to this blog looking for an article about the Boxster Spyder.
Thank you so much...!
And thank you for reading our past articles.
>Since then, I have been working out on a backstroke table (about 45° diagonal) every time, and the back pain has stopped.
Oh, I see... I am aware of my abdominal muscles, but not my back muscles. I see...we are conscious of our abdominal muscles, but we are not so conscious of our back muscles.
When I was young, I had muscle strength, but as I get older, I realize that if I don't consciously strengthen my muscles, I will have trouble in many areas of my daily life...I am keenly aware of this.
I would be happy if you feel free to comment on my blog again in the future.
Thank you for your continued support!
