Tara's top six ways to avoid chronic low pain:

• Good ergonomics and lumbar support wherever you spend a lot of time sitting!
• Men, do not have a wallet in your back pocket that you are sitting on! This is low back suicide!
• Keep your hamstrings loose! (have a professional show you how).
• Keep your piriformis muscle loose! This is the muscle that traverses your butt. (have a professional show you how).
• Keep your abdominals firm. Many ways to do this. Work with someone who can show you how to target your abs without hurting your neck or back!
• Keep your psoas loose. This is the muscle that goes from your lower back to your inner thigh. If you sit a lot this could be the ONLY problem with your back!

There a few more tricks that a pro will need to show you in person, but this is an excellent start!
