Lost Art of Bending Over: How Other Cultures Spare Their Spines

I have come to the point with my back and hip pain where sweatpants is about all I can wear. I can't even wear most underwear. Any constraint at all around my hip flexors, hamstrings, lower back just yields excruciating pain after just a few minutes. Jeans are completely out. Most days I can't wait to get home so I can switch into my pajama bottoms.

Physiotherapist, doctor, chiropractor, all shrug and look confused when I describe this.

Luckily my employer doesn't care what I wear to work.

Dress sweatpants could be a lifesaver for me.

I'm glad that odd recollection can find a use :)

In my case it's just discomfort but I'm curious as to why constraints around the waist don't get discussed more in articles about posture. For me it's one of those things that annoy all day long, hovering slightly below awareness level.
