Exercises for Back Pain

December 8, 2009


The back is a very important part of the body. It is susceptible to be damaged when you lift weights the wrong way, or have a working or living lifestyle that is full of bad body postures, and techniques. Some people are biologically predisposed to having a weak back, but this is no reason to sit back and groan away.

There are plenty of people in the world suffering from back pain. Back pain will come for people who have sedentary lifestyle. Stretching exercises are a good way to ward away back pain hassles. Pills and medication do provide instant relief, but you also need to look at other ways to keep your body medication-free.

Medication will only provide temporary gratification. It will most often than not fail to provide permanent cure. Most people are unwilling to permanently solve their back pain problems, because it takes time. But if you believe in the results of a long-term program, then no-back-pain days are sure to come.

Before stating off with exercises, you have to remember some points:

- Don’t start of like there is no tomorrow on back pain exercises. Go slow and steady

- Take rest if you have back pain. Don’t do exercises when you are already having the pain. This will further aggravate the issue. Rather, take rest, calm the pain down, and then start of with an exercise program.

Back strengthening and stretching exercises provide a good combination of strength and flexibility that eventually give you a painless back. Here are some exercises that can be effective as effective can be…

Lunges

- Lunge forward with your right leg. Lunge till your thigh is parallel to the ground. Come back to the your original position. Repeat with the left leg.

- You can do a variation of this exercise with some barbell weights placed on the back of your neck.

Falling stretches

- Get your exercise-companion to hold you as you fall down face first.

- Ask your companion to pull you, as you try to stay rooted at one place, with your feet.

- This creates a stretching of the back, initiated by your companion pulling you, and you trying to hold back with your feet.
