Don't let your back pain spoil your day! There are plenty of ways for you to get instant relief from the pain, even without taking any painkillers. All you have to do is make a little bit of space and start doing some simple exercises to loosen up your muscles. And that should be enough to stop your lower back from hurting and get you started to enjoy the rest of your day!
These exercises below work well to get the blood moving in your body, release the endorphins, and throw the pain in your back away, at least for the time being:
1. Knee Bends
Use a chair, desk, or table for support. Place your hands on the support, then slowly bend your knees to lower yourself as much as you can comfortably go. Remember to exhale while doing so. Then slowly bring yourself to stand back upright while inhaling. Do this motion for 10 times.
2. Waist Twist
Stand with your legs slightly apart. Let your arms fall loose to your sides. Then, gently swing your arms left and right, letting your hands pat the lower part of your back each time they reach around. This will gently massage your kidneys. Do this motion for about 10 times also.
3. Hip Roll
Remain standing with your legs shoulder-width apart. Tighten up your stomach muscles and place your hands on your hips. Imagine you are playing the hula and just start rotating your hips 5 times clockwise and 5 times anti-clockwise.
How do you feel now? You should no longer feel the pain in your lower back after doing these exercises properly, and be able to get on with your daily activities as usual now!
But don't get me wrong here...
These exercises are not meant to PERMANENTLY stop your lower back from hurting. Once you have regained mobility and flexibility after doing the exercises, you should definitely look into finding what is the root cause of your back pain, and how to get rid of it altogether in order to enjoy life to the fullest, for good!
