If you can pull out your headrest and flip it backward it will be more flat. If the angle is still bad then you can add a cushion. Hope they helps. But you're right

if you look closely at this video his car seat its horizontial flat and his hips are slightly higher than as his knees,However most car seats(the seat itself) are at a decline and situated very low to the floor therefore your knees are usually higher than your hips and glutes when your sitting so the back support of the car seat doesnt fit with your spine so playing with different cushon heights first just might be the answer.

As a 5'3" woman I can say I have never found an American made vehicle with a seat that is comfortable. My Ford has stupid immoveable head rests that push your head forward. To avoid neck pain I have to drop the seat back a bit and stick a cushion behind me and since the lumber support is too high I have to sit on a slim cushion. The only cars that ever had seats that fit were the Japanese models as their threshold for adjustability conformed to smaller people.

Absolutely perfect. If you are a man 5 foot 9 or taller. I am 5 foot 2 and getting into the seating positions you suggest are impossible. Currently have lumbar, mid headrest support as well as 3 pillows on the seat to try and get my hips higher. I was told by the VW dealer I purchased my vehicle from that the seats are actually designed now knowing that drivers sit with the head forward hunched position. So you can't physically get your seat into 100 degree angle because it is curved with the headrest protruding forward!

In the past I've resorted to shoving packages of tennis balls down the back of my shirt.

It would help if car manufacturers developed cars based on women’s height as well as men’s. I am tall for a woman and the headrest sits much to high for me not to have my neck leaning forward. Shorter women or men must really have trouble. Same goes for the height of the seat and ability to see out the windshield. Annoying!

I'm curious, you couldn't tilt your head down only bc of the pain, or also u were so stiff that the muscle just would not give and u physically couldn't move ur head down? Try sleeping on ur back but with a pillow that's not too high. U can even put a rolled towel under ur skull for support. But if ure not used to it then it could hurt bc it muscles and spine would have to readjust. Play around with what feels right.

i guess i’ve hit rock bottom. done, at 27 yrs old searching for this kind of stuff
Thanks guys. Would you suggest difference between city vs highway driving position... starting at lights sometimes with window position makes you to push neck forward...or is it poor seat position
Nice video. Somehow little bit older, but problem ist still the same today. What do you think guys about a Thoracic Lumbar Back Support cushion? I found it while an internet recherche and it seems interesting to me. Would you recommend a Thoracic support in a vehicle?
I use a small bean bag pillow in small of back with good results
Great guys
Been waiting for a video like this I drive a lot. Some things you guys didn't cover. What height/orientation should the seat/steering wheel be? Thanks for the video

Great questions, we are thinking of doing a video on this! Thanks for the input!
What to do for diaphragm tiredness after driving, which muscles to strengthen.
I'm driving a Amazon Dodge, the tall sprinter style. The seats are pretty high and don't adjust up and down. My neck bone towards the end of the day hurts really bad. So I was wondering if one of those head rests pillow things would help with that along with lumbar pillow? There's just not much for adjusting the seat and steering wheel. I'm definitely gonna pay more attention to my posture. Appreciate any advice. Thanks guys 🙏
This video help me drive today
Thank you!!!💃🏻💞
Can you do a video on how to ease upper back pain, neck and shoulder pain at school? I’ve been have terrible back and neck issues because of how the chairs are and they make my posture very bad. The back of the chairs basically a convex curve right on the middle of your back and it hurtssss.
Thank-you

What if you have a headrest that is tilted forward so it pushes your head forward, and it can't be adjusted?
Quite useful if your OTR Driver.
Thanks so much!
My hips hurt so badly when I drive a far amount of distance over 20 minutes

Do you still have the pain? I've recently been feeling it.
Thnxs
You guys crack me up! 😂
What to do if my.knees hurts? The internal side of the left knee
If I put my head back to the headrest, I don't feel as "tuned" into my driving and awareness. I am sure it is just something you have to get used to after years of driving in a different posture.

My gosh, that intro is such a BANGA!!!
Do you guys know what can be done for somebody who has severe pain under the right shoulder blade while driving? Even when I'm in the passenger seat leaning back and using a neck pillow (like the ones for flying) The pain is just sickening. I'm going to try the chin tucks and retractions. In the past I've resorted to shoving packages of tennis balls down the back of my shirt.
They make car seats in the shape of a "C" so it makes your thoracic spine go back in a hump shape like Igor from Frankenstein, and pushes your neck uncomfortably forward! So frustrating! Why Bob and Brad, WHY?!?

My secret to pain free driving: Drive an old Mercedes. I've driven it across the country more than once with no comfort issues. Then this weekend I had to drive a Nissan Sentra a thousand miles in two days. Big difference. Removing the head rest from the driver seat helped, but it still wasn't a Benz.

Lol bob looks really cool with his seat back
my problem is a new subaru with bucket seats.These elevate my knees above the hips unlike the bench seats you have. I am seeking a video on this condition as it stresses the knees and I am just crippled on a long haul.
Where can you buy the neck roll thing with beads in it?
The right side of my lower back hurts when I drive. The movement of right hand triggers it. Will these solutions still work ?
Awesome video💯the nyc joke made my day😂
What if the seat pillow and the lumbar support doesn’t help that much? Only time it hurts is when I’m driving.
have posture & breathe stickers in the car, on the PC etc
I have a chevy spark and I hate that it kills my back and i feel like Im laying down when I drive. It kills my back. I cant evne sit up because my butt is in a hole .

agree, I had a seat replaced in my truck last year because of my pinched nerve.
Educative
Hi Bob and Brad, I purchased the pelvic core rocker and expecting to receive it tomorrow.
Can i make one more point there bob...oh yahh absoooluutely
Shouldnt he raise the kebado lumbar support pillow higher?
It would help if car manufacturers developed cars based on women’s height as well as men’s. I am tall for a woman and the headrest sits much to high for me not to have my neck leaning forward. Shorter women or men must really have trouble. Same goes for the height of the seat and ability to see out the windshield. Annoying!

I turn the headrest backwards. It looks funny at first, but since I am tall, it's always pushed my head forward.
Can we drive using cervical collar?
Hi is that donut 🍩 firm? I don't want soft. Too friken soft seat.. anyone recommend a firm donut?
The newer cars have headrests that jut too far forward. I always have neck and shoulder pain from them.

Totally agree! It's like the exact opposite of ergonomic! I get that they have to protect the neck in a car accident, but geez, what about the rest of the time?!?
I get alot of pains in my hip joints and in my right knee
height of seat matters and the length of the bottom of seat. I have Subaru WRX and my piriformis barely kicks in but I get in my wifes Lexus rx 350 I get so much rear-end pain. I am going to measure my angles because so weird why one seat is better than the other. You would think a luxury suv would be better especially since it has all the lumbar etc options but no its terrible.
What about in low cars ?
i sleep in my car seat going on 4 years ...I'm starting to get back problems never had it before
What’s the best way to sleep when you have neck stiffness? My C6 & C7 are mildly herniated and a few times a year I have a stiff neck (now it’s likely due to sleep and my pillows). I couldn’t tilt my chin down this morning without pain. I try to stand at work because the chairs are horrible & just makes things worse.

I'm curious, you couldn't tilt your head down only bc of the pain, or also u were so stiff that the muscle just would not give and u physically couldn't move ur head down? Try sleeping on ur back but with a pillow that's not too high. U can even put a rolled towel under ur skull for support. But if ure not used to it then it could hurt bc it muscles and spine would have to readjust. Play around with what feels right.
