Thank you for the suggestions about the rolled towel and only doing a third of my 2 Acres. Every time I mow my lawn I get this awful pain right up my neck to the point I was crying cuz I had to get it done. I have no one else to do my lawn

Thank you for this very insightful video. I forwarded it to my father-in-law. I am happy to do his lawn, which I do everytime I do mine. I hope this video will convince him to just let me do this work.

How about how to do planting and gardening with back pain.

I just bought my first zero turn mower And was super excited to use it. The first time I used it I ended up with a back pain for over a week. My back was already injured but never thought the mower was going to hurt me that bad.

Navel in and up! That's how I maintain the proper posture, still it's definitely a concern, avoiding future surgery. I love my outdoor work. I don't have any one else. I've had 2 surgeries. Spinal stenosis... and Spondylolisthesis. Recently I've begun to feel the actual movement in my back as I ride my 2 acres. ... I ride slow so I'm not bouncing as much but the variations in the terrain causes the mower to lean slightly side to side and just enough to really create problems. I am a fitness trainer and I began wearing my weight belt to hold the back more securely. Not sure if that's helping for the long run or not. I'm definitely not wanting a third surgery. Impact is not a good idea for me let alone the more immediate pinched nerve pains. It's very sad, I've had to give up my dance fitness teaching ... I push mow a lot of my lawn ... which is all rolling and steep hills. I planted lots flower beds because I love them and ... so I wouldn't need to mow as much... that's another back issue as well, still more manageable. Push mowing can be an issue for me because of my neck... I have to monitor my posture ... there is lots of vibrations there as well that can cause pain and future problems. thanks for this. Im not giving up!

Has ur back pain improved?

@kevincolliss2877 3 жыл бұрын

I used to be able to,do my yard in 6 hours without stopping . Now I'm in pain for 3 weeks after a couple hours , "someone else" in the house was supposed to take over for me ,but it's so hard to look out the window and watch it grow. It used to look like a golf course ....sigh. your vidio has confirmed for me that I can't do this anymore. I guess I'm going to have to take a lesson from my grandparents who used to just do a little strip around the house and let the rest return to fields. Sucks getting old!

I try to do my 4 acres in 3 mowings, but of course that has you on the mower every single day until August when it grows slower. Been planting more trees for years and it's still not woods. Geez....

Hi Bob and Brad, love your channel! I need your help. Last week the next day after running my lower back has been killing me. I don’t recall a specific time during my run it was hurting. It’s located at my lower back off to the ride side and hurts extremely bad waking with pressing off my right leg and going down stairs on my right leg. Doesn’t hurt to bend over or do other things. Any idea what this could be and what I can do to treat it? Thanks!!

Another thing that sometimes helps my patients is to use that same towel roll, or a second one, under the ischial tuberosities. This facilitates a little hip extension. The body balances that to get the COG back over the BOS by automatically moving the upper body posteriorly, leading to a bit more lumbar extension once again. It often works!

loved ur video-but where do I purchase those back braces for inbetween ur back and the seat which you show in ur video

After just like 10 minutes of using a self propelled push mower still kills my lower back and hips - will an inversion table help, I feel like I don't stretch enough and I do a lot of work on a computer. Is it safe to just go into a inversion table? My bed is pretty high off the ground, should I stretch some by going upside down off the side of it? chest on the bed - and chest outwards? It's not just mowing but when I run now as well. I never had a problem ruck marching or running in the US Army Infantry. I'm just having a heck of a time - I am fine until I run or push something like a mower. my lower back isn't an exaggerated arch forward or backward - spine is straight - my feet are fine. I tried a brace like the Velcro strap around your waist - and then the two other straps to make it tighter and support the lower back - I that that just makes it worse. I have a very strong core - defined abs 6ft 1in tall slim build and 190lbs give or take a few lbs. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Would a back brace be beneficial or hurtful in this situation? I dont often have time to go out and cut my while yard. I keep around my house cut nice and neat but the rest of the 5+ acres i cut 2-3 time a year. And when i do that i usually put my headphones on and losten to an audio book and get lost for several hours as i cut my yard. If i cut it all at once it is about 6 hours of cutting just with the tractor. I get alittle stiff while on the tractor but dont really feel it until i get off and then cant bend over, can hardly walk, hard to even breath. It almost feels like i did leg day twice in a row but used my back muscles instead of my leg muscles.

😆 I came here for answers for my husband who has back pain mowing for a living and the advice I get right in the beginning is hire someone else

I use zero turn, pulling back on the levers makes me keep some of the curve in my back, better posture. Suspension still stinks 😉

@linxj6 3 жыл бұрын

Especially Kubota ZD21 which will kill your back. Got the air suspension retrofit and it doesn't work at all, just bottoms out on bumps. Turns you into a jack in the box and hurts more.

@@linxj6 most people love them zero turn mowers because they go fast but. They will shake you like a salt shaker end up sore after words. Me I like to go a little slow and easy that’s the difference me mowing for me I’m on my own timing that’s why I like tractor mowers they don’t bounce around a whole lot. No point in having a cup holder once you’re done mowing, if your cup don’t have a lid you won’t have nothing too drink lol
