Yes I do hang on my own these days.
Other things that helped us foam rolling. And actually working out my back. Stretching and foam rolling the hip is also important.
Plus avoid sitting in a office lol.

Stretching is a big part of avoiding back pain for me. Just when I don’t, then I need some help from Dr. Chen. The hip flexors and neck muscles are key for me. Sitting at a desk with my bad posture over a laptop is why I have pain. Dr, Chen does deep tissue massage which can be very uncomfortable when you are already in pain. Basically, it involves a Dusty Rhodes bionic elbow to my hips and scary neck stretches and then time to adjust the bones. It usually takes one or two treatments and then I’m good for a few years until my bad habits catch up with me. I need his help every few years and then always wonder why I wait until I’m in terrible pain to make the appointment. If he can’t help you, he will tell you that too.
Dr. Chen is a physical therapist with a pilates studio and promotes that we need to keep moving to avoid pain.
