Welcome to Baba-Mail .4 exercises to ease back pain. |
Here are four simple yet effective exercises you can perform a few times a week to protect your back in the present and in the future...
1. Lay on your back, feet on the floor, knees bent, legs slightly apart, at the width of your hip.
2. Clench your buttocks and lift it upwards, slowly, vertebra by vertebra, until you get to about shoulder height.
3. Count slowly to three and slowly lower yourself, vertebra by vertebra, while keeping your stomach muscles clenched.
Sets: Do this 10-12 times for a complete session.
What it does: This exercise neutralizes the daily stress the spine deals with. It stretches the muscles that bend the thigh and strengthens the back stabilizers and the lower back muscles. Also, it works your stomach muscles to keep your balance and keep more pressure off your back.
Note: Remember to be patient and go slow.
Side Plank
1. Stand up straight and put your hands on your waist.
2. Lunge forward, while bending the knee on the forward leg to 90 degrees and bending the knee on the back leg until it comes close to the floor.
3. Again, do NOT hurry. Do this slowly, and remember it's important to keep stability, no wobbling. Keep your stomach tight.
Sets: Do this 8-10 times for each leg.
What it's good for: The exercise improves the body's posture and strengthens your control of your core muscles. This is key to protecting the spine while walking, running or climbing stairs. The exercise uses all the important stabilizing muscles.
Tip: Try to get to a stage where you can actually touch the floor with the knee of your back leg.
