When I first started noticing this strange, dull ache in my lower back, I brushed it off as the usual desk-job fatigue. But the discomfort kept nagging me—persistent, weirdly deep, and not quite like the muscle soreness from a bad night’s sleep. Then came the frequent bathroom trips, the pressure, and a confusing sense of…
Back when I was dealing with recurring upper back tension from working long hours at my desk, I stumbled across two methods that completely flipped the script for me—Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method. At first, they seemed like variations of the same thing: both promise better posture, less pain, and more body awareness. But after…
