The Canali Postural Method (CPM) sounds promising. The study shows the control group also did the stretching and exercises, but did not get the extra advice. In the end, the Canali approach was more than twice the benefit as the stretching and back exercises.

Too bad they don’t describe what The Canali Postural Method is.

[Larry Lucido]

Leave the gun.

Take the Canali.

I like the cannoli repose method.

Eat comfort food then lie down and don’t move.

In watching Italian videos on it, it seems to be very heavy on progressive stomach / core exercises.

Like crunches?

Looks like you need a coach and must use various equipment to gain some relief. Quite a vigorous approach to postural realignment.

An Italian video shows the System mainly aimed at athletes(soccer)--also the price of the system remains hidden in the background: but the cost of the coaching and equipment may be a bit daunting.

Canali? As in, “Leave the gun; take the Canalis?”

[rarestia]

Agreed. I looked for some instructions, but they’re behind paywalls. As someone with chronic lower back issues, I could use some relief, and yes, I fully accept that my lower back issues are due to piss poor abdominal strength. I have a very hard time doing core exercises, and they tend to cause irritation of my lower back conditions when attempted.

I read the report looking for some possible help but noticed I was in the exclusionary category which apparently have reasons for low back pain so there went any hope.

I get realigned by a chiropractor about once a month. Not the bend twist and snap chiropractor but a real one using measured procedures while laying face down on a drop table. Yoga stretches daily also help and a lot of walking.

[maddog55]

Based on the report the excluded list are those with real lower back problems if you can’t do gymnastics. If you can do gymnastics you don’t have lower back problems in my opinion.

It was a bit tricky, but I managed to find a copy of the procedure here: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/13/8/869

I already do some stuff like this on my Total Gym.
