Sitting a lot. Chairs with backrest tend to cause people to relax their lower back, which results in the lower back getting pulled tight by all the other muscles. Then when you get up to go do stuff, you lower back is sort of stuck being stretched by everything else so it can't properly stabilize your lower spine.

I recently learned about all this because I started relearning piano and my lower back was fucked up because it wasn't able to stabilize for long periods of time while playing. After a few weeks of practicing a lot and a trip to the chiropracter and doing some excercises, I feel great and can play for hours without any discomfort.

Vid very much related.

Really the root cause is that science™ identified stuff that puts a lot of stress on certain parts of the body. Then science™ then created gadgets and techniques that mitigated the stress on that part of the body, which resulted in weakening it and resulting in injury when you're doing something.

That channel I posted "Kneesovertoesguy" is because it's common in sports and stuff to be told to not let your knees go over your toes because it puts a lot of stress on your knees. This wound up resulting in people getting more knee injuries because this practice ultimately weakened their knees, which happened to that guy.

Another classic example is shoes with "arch support" which again just weakens your feet and increases the likelihood of getting injured.

The science™ is slow to admit it was wrong because there's tons of peer reviewed papers saying that knees over toes is bad and puts stress on your knee and lots of medical textbooks say it as well.
