Today's question comes to us from Jason via email and he says:
Hi Melissa, I'm after some advice. I work as a barber and with standing all day i need to relax my lower back. What are the best moves? Is there a video on your tube I could do? Cheers, Jason
This is a great question Jason. A lot of people work standing all day from people working retail to hair stylists. One of the best things you can do after standing all day is legs up the wall or as it is called in yoga, Viparita Karani. This will help to relieve tired legs and feet, it will gently stretch the backs of your legs and relieve mild backache and it will calm your mind. Some other poses to help relax your low back after a long day on your feet include knee to chest pose (apanasana) and figure four stretch.
Namaste Yoga Episode 21 is a great episode for low back pain:
• Yoga with Melissa Epis...
I highly recommend some of the more therapeutic videos available on our membership site and in our shop as well that are great for low back pain including happy hips, feet first, the foot training for connective tissue, yoga for herniated discs, and yoga for sciatica.

I'm a hotel hostess, long day with HIGH HEELS 👠 😢 and I have to put a smile on my face all day (I love my job though )
I do hope this video is helpful for you Sisonke :) :)
I feel you girl! I'm a Hostess too, that's why I'm here :)
Shame here 😢😢
I’m a breakfast waitress. My hips and feet are killing me after standing and walking all day long (and smiling)
How you all manage muscle and knee bone pains
God bless you. I cried in pain coming home from work yesterday. I’m a cashier. I was about to put my resignation in. I just did the stretches & my back feels sooo much better, so much lighter. Thank you so so much.💞
Siani M. so pleased you enjoyed the video :)
I did the stretches for the duration of the video and I already feel better. I worked a 12 hour kitchen shift today and I thought I'd be going to bed in pain - but no more!
Wonderful!
I work in a hospital 8hr shifts...and after work...it really catches up with me.
THANKUUUU so much for this video...much LUV🙏
So glad it was supportive. 💗🙏🪽 thank you for all you do
i work as a concessionist at the movies and it’s KILLING me having to stand for 8 hours :( this is my first job so i’m not really used to it
Maya, sorry to hear...that suxs
How is life for you now?
@@frozenrats im used to the pain 🧎🏽♀️
@@YogaLifestylewithMelissa I love u good posture
that's the EXACT reason I'm here right now on this video 😭
working at the movies is something else
I work as a delivery driver, so all day I’m going up and down stairs while also running around for 10 hours a day. doing these stretches for just as long as the video was is already making me feel better. Thank you
I'm a teacher ,have been standing long hours for the last 16 years ,now sometimes I feel my are no more going to stand with me ,my veins especially below knees, hurt a lot , do keep on sharing more videos and tips for people like me ,
And one thing more
You got a really sweet voice and kindness pouring out of your expression, good wishes and prayers
thank you :)
work as a bus boy/waiter i get about 20,000 steps a day and work 64 hour weeks I was feeling highly stressed and helpless. Figured some stretches might help, but I was still highly skeptical. I am writing to you a day after watching this video. I just wanted to come back and say I got the best sleep of my life after putting my legs up a wall for about 10 minutes highly recommended this!!!
Thanks for sharing!
I walk to work, I stand in work all day, I walk from work. On my feet all day long. We discussed this already together, and I'm happy it's out there for everybody now:) But anyways, this is an amazing question, and Yoga works magic for me. Namaste Melissa _/\_ :)
It’s funny how these are poses that I did naturally as a child. Doing it now my parents will think it’s me acting childish. 😆 The legs up the wall is a common pose for rebellious teens in their bedrooms in some movies actually…hahaha! Will try these stretches out. Thanks!
Im an art student... Gotta stand for 10 hours on for life drawing or clay sculpting
I’m a hairstylist in professional salon most of the time I have to stand up to my work and I’m getting unbearable pain in my legs I didn’t know what to do to relief, finally I got your video today now I’m doing your yoga I really great full to you thousands times thank you Dr.melissa😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

I needed this video years ago, and it was here all along 😅
I'm a nurse...nuff said LOL...👌👌💯💯💯
+Renee I. Petranovich 👍
Not as bad, as long as you are walking and moving one is ok. Standing in one position all the time is different
Iam a teacher and this video help me a lot .. thank you .. lover from saudi arabia ❤️
Straight to the point
Thanks
Most of my jobs since 14 have required lots of standing. 18 now and at a retail store as a cashier, on concrete all day. About to do these stretches on my lunch break and hope it helps!
@marshallturner6085 so pleased you enjoyed the video :) hope it helps ;)
I clicked on the video where the thumbnail wasn’t someone standing because my feet hurt.

I stand around 12hours to 14 hours per day , no days of thanks for you info madam
I'm a dialysis technician so my whole body needs stretching 😩. Thank you for sharing 🙏
so pleased it helped Ms Bee :)
thanks homie ill give it a go
used to do color guard with the marching band in highschool about 3 yrs ago and we would stand and practice and stretch for like 10+ hours on some competition days and especially championship comps- basically i used my legs alot alot all throughout my highschool days.
i worked an easy part time job for 2 yrs and but now stated a 35 hr a week job where i'm on my feet moving and its way worse than doing actual exercise lmao
i need to get back in shape and get those buff ass thunder thighs back💀
this video gave some good more simple stretches than the dance ones i used to do.
quick and easy stretch video! thanks
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!
I am working as a hotelier how to relax my feet?
Thank you soo much.
you're welcome
Thanks for your help ☺️🙏
May I know why you’ve print that word on your feet of trouser?
It not looking appropriate there it’s not supposed to be in like that place
I stand all day from 4:00am to 4:30pm with 70mins worth of break (smoko) time through out the day. Yes feel sorry for me :(
+TheRealKillzah :(
Bro, you think you got it rough try 8:00AM-4:30PM (job 1) and then 5:30-10:30PM (job 2). I am DYING and I am almost even afraid to try stretching at this point - something might break!!
What jobs are y'all doing?! 😮
I work at donut king and work from 6:00AM-5:45
I work 830 am to 6pm with only a 30 minute break
i think the best thing to do is get a bar stool, and mix standing and sitting through out the day. i think standing all day is as bad as sitting all day, but strain is on your feet not your bottux.
but mixing standing and sitting thoughout the day i think is the best way to keep pressure off one area and to be more healthy.
so right, movement (as natural as you can) helps so much :)
I work 10 hrs on my feet hate it but as long as I move I don’t feel the stiffness 😊
Thks, for de tips....
Thank you for the vedio.gobless😊
My pleasure 😊

Hi, I found all these stretches great! I love the legs up against the wall, but my back starts to hurt when I do that and if I breathe a certain way, my back hurts when I do it

This exercise we have to do in the morning or anytime?
typically after your shift on your feet :) but anytime could be helpful :)
is any engineer watching this video❤😂
Hello. I just got a job in retail, and my back, calves and feet hurt terribly. I tried the exercises on this video, and they are easy to do. The one where I'm to put my legs in the air against the wall felt really good. But I noticed that my feet felt cool and tingly. Is that supposed to happen, or did I hyper extend my legs?
You might want to talk with your doctor about the tingly legs when you have your legs up the wall just to make sure to be safe
D Lovely it might be nerve related pain. u need to get it checked.
I am a nurse/mom of 4 who works 12 hours shift. I wear compression Stocking. the moment i come home I take of my compression Stocking I found great pain in my legs that last 4 hours post shift. thanks for the tips. it occurred to me not to remove my compression stock to prevent huge fluctuation of pressure change on my vains. I incorporating yiur exercises while keeping my stockings longer post rest. what do you think?
sounds like you've worked it out...plus do elevate your feet and see if that helps...tougher with 4 children :)
As I'm a Hotelier, I am standing nearly 12-13 Hours per day and it's just like sucking my energy.. Please help me out of this problem with your good suggestion mam..

See a doctor for supplements like fish oil, & MSM... These should help with your knees... Good Luck!
only thing that hurts for me is feet and back
+Slain:(
