Minimize Back Pain by Stretching

Stretch exercises is a great way to avoid back pain, since it stretches the muscles, joints, bones, etc, thus promoting fluid and blood flow. Stretch workouts include shoulder shrug, triceps, arm, leg, trunk, torso, and other stretches. To help you avoid back pain we can perform a few workouts to help you stretch those muscles.

Starting with the shoulders, stand erect.

Rotate the shoulders in slow motion and to the back up to ten counts. Working the triceps: Triceps is the extensor muscles, which require stretching to avoid tension. Stand erect and lift your arm (Right) and rest the tips of your fingers on the shoulder.

Next, stretch them arms. 

Stand erect while keeping your feet at shoulder length. Level the arms and stretch them outward in sync with the shoulders.

Tip! Do you have back pain? Take care not to twist excessively during daily activities. Whether you are hauling heavy objects or tidying up the house, you are at risk of twisting your back, which may cause horrible pain and injury.

Now work that torso.

Stand erect, keep your feet at in alignment with the shoulders and gradually rotate (Starting at the waist), and then stretching to one side. Stretch ahead and move your body in rotation to the opposite side. Extend back and around again to the opposite side. Continue on each side.

Tip! You always hear about women getting breast implants, but you hear less often about them getting breast reductions. However, this is sometimes an option to think about depending on your needs.

Work that trunk:

Stand erect, keep the feet the length of your shoulders and slightly apart. Bend the knees slightly. Lock the fingers behind the head, and bend starting at the waistline, touching your right knee, joining it with the elbow on the right side. Next, rotate the torso, or trunk, rotating it to the left and then touch your left knee. Extend backwards to you are standing erect again.

Tip! During bouts of back pain, it's essential to relax the muscles that are in spasm. The fastest way to relieve the discomfort is lie down and put heat on the painful muscles.

Once you are standing erect, slightly move your feet apart and bend the knees somewhat. Lift your arms to the height of your shoulders and grip the hands while turning to the side, starting at the waistline. Stand erect, while extending the hands down at the sides.

Bend the knees somewhat and gradually lift the arm as far as you can reach over the head. Slowly, glide the free arm, sliding it down to the leg, and pull the arm so that it is over the head as high as you can reach. Push down and onto the thigh, returning to standing position. 

Tip! Many times when people have back pain, it is in their lower back. This is also the 2nd most popular reason that many people have to visit the doctor.

Continue on the opposite side and do three reps.

Stand erect, keeping the feet at length with your shoulders. Bend the elbows at the height of your shoulders. Join your fingertips and gently fling the arms toward the back, staying consistent with the height of the shoulders. Continue the action on each side, counting to ten as you move along.

Tip! If you have back pain, talk to your doctor so you can get a diagnosis. Your general practitioner may want to run diagnostic work and look through your medical history before making a diagnosis and prescribing formal treatment.
