If you feel pain down low on your back on a regular basis, you should take it as a symptom that something is wrong with your body or your use of your body. One of the most common things people neglect is do exercises for preventing or alleviating lower back pain.
While everyone who receives doctor approval should do these exercises, the exercises for low back pain are typically recommended by doctors on a case by case basis. Certainly, doing the exercises that will relieve pain in the back under the guidance of your doctor is preferable to slouching in an office desk all day and then coming home with incredible pain that all you could do is slouch on the sofa and wait for the pain to go away.
There's a wide variety of known causes for lower back pain. However, it is not always possible to diagnose the causes of such pain. In most cases, doing exercises designed for back pain can either prevent the pain from recurring or make the pain more bearable the next time it comes on.
You may think that exercise is something grueling or that the more grueling the exercise, the better the results. When it comes to your back, the opposite is typically true. You need fluid, natural, smooth back movements to be a part of your back exercise program. The focus is on flexibility and range of motion. In fact, two of the most common causes of back pain are overexertion of back muscles and repetitive improper movements or postures of the back muscles.
So when you exercise for low back pain, you want to avoid pushing, pulling, or lifting too much weight. You also want to avoid stretching too far in any direction to the extent that it feels unnatural. You should initially be guided by a trained physical therapist or trainer to ensure you learn the proper movements and postures to build strong, flexible muscles and develop good, healthy posture.
