Have you ever stood up after sitting for a while and thought, “Why does my back feel worse now?”

You didn’t move wrong. You didn’t lift anything heavy. But that discomfort? It has a cause.

In this video, I break down what’s really happening to your spine when you sit—especially if you’ve got a bulging disc or herniation. You’ll see exactly how certain positions crank up the pressure on your spine and what to avoid if you don’t want to make things worse.

I’ll show you what your spinal discs go through when you slump, lean, recline, or just sit in what seems like a “normal” position. You’ll learn why that jelly donut analogy is more accurate than most people think (trust me, it’s not just for laughs).

You’ll also get a clear visual of how disc pressure changes depending on posture—and which position adds the most strain (hint: it’s something many of us do daily without thinking twice). If your goal is to feel better, move better, and avoid further damage, this insight is key.

I’ll also share some simple adjustments you can make right now. Whether you’re on the couch, at a desk, or behind the wheel—small changes add up when it comes to protecting your spine.

If you deal with lower back pain, disc bulges, or just want to stop feeling stiff after sitting, this video is for you. And if you’ve ever wondered why your pain seems worse after doing “nothing,” you’re going to want to hear this.

Watch through to the end for one of my favorite exercises to support your spine. It targets a key muscle group that often goes overlooked—but can make a big difference in how your back feels.

Comment “SPINE” and I’ll send you my Strong Spine Quick Start Guide.

Take a seat—but make it the right way.
