arrangements. So, when they go to sleep, they

roll to one side and put a pillow in between

their legs. This way, they create space in the

sacrum area and restore over the night.

I tried this method when I injured my sacrum.

Sometimes I’d use two pillows between my

legs and one under the lower leg. It all

depends on the body. You have to experiment

to find your optimal position. But this thing

definitely works.

The second tip comes from a Japanese

physician Mr. Toshiba Fukutsudzi who

suggests lying down on your back with a rolled

towel right underneath the belly button. He

claims that this simple exercise not only helps

to cure your back pain but also helps you lose

weight.

The extra layer of fat around the belly tends to

accumulate because of the displacement of the

pelvis. The exercise corrects the pelvis

placement, strengthens the abdomen, and is

believed to result in a smaller waistline.

Whether it works for fat reduction or not, I

can’t tell from personal experience. But one

thing I know is that doing it for just 10

minutes, I feel a great relief on my lower back.
