Exercise Lower Back Pain

If you are suffering from pain in your lower back, I am going to show you a simple way to exercise lower back pain away for ever. This condition can be extremely excruciating to the point where you just simply cannot move. There are many causes that can trigger lower back pain to occur. The most common reasons are incorrect sitting postures, carrying heavy objects, receiving a blow to the lower back, and in some cases, even a cold draft can be the culprit. The first approach would be to get some paracetamol in order to help alleviate the pain. If this does not reduce the pain, you can switch to ibuprofen.

If you received a blow to your lower back, there may be some inflammation. You can help treat this by applying cold compressed wraps and resting for a short time. Once the pain and inflammation has reduced, you should try to make yourself active. You can provide yourself with further relief after I teach you how to exercise lower back pain away for good. After you have warmed yourself up for about five minutes, you can then look to perform what is known as a pelvic tilt. This is a stretching exercise, which will help your back.

To get into this position, simply lie on your back and then bend your knees so that they are pointing skywards, while at the same time keeping your feet flat on the floor. Then once you are ready, take in a deep breath, and then exhale while at the same time trying to flatten the small of your back against the floor. It is important that you do not push your feet into the floor while doing this, but use your abdominal muscles to help. You should then hold this position for five seconds. You can repeat this exercise 5 to 15 times.

Lower back pain exercises such as the basic twist will help you to stretch the lower back. To do this, lie on your back and have your arms stretched out at your sides. Bend your knees so that they are pointing upwards. Then raise your knees slowly and bring them close towards your chest. Once they are at your chest, take a deep breath and then exhale as you lower your knees back to the starting position. After a brief pause, take in a deep breath once again and raise your knees towards your chest. Then exhale and lower your knees once again, but this time towards the left side. Repeat the process of alternating between lowering your knees to the left and right sides. You can repeat this exercise about five times.

If at any time while performing these back pain exercises you feel that it is causing you more pain than normal, you should stop immediately. Try to find a different exercise that will not cause you any extra pain. Also, please make sure to speak to your doctor before performing any type of exercise. This will ensure that you do not cause further injury.
