Dealing with Low Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints I get from people, often caused by poor posture, lack of mobility, and weak supporting muscles. One of the most effective ways to address lower back pain is through targeted mobility drills that loosen up the lumbar spine and surrounding muscles. Try incorporating these: 1.couch stretch 2.pigeon pose variations 3.deep split squat Into your daily routine to open your hips and stretch your glutes. These help the tension pulling on your lower back from sitting or improper movement. Beyond mobility, corrective exercises play a crucial role in addressing the root cause of lower back pain. Strengthening your core muscles is vital because a weak core places undue stress on the lower back. Try incorporating exercises: 1.bird dogs 2.dead bugs or 3.McGillโs Big 3 These will improve core stability and take the strain off your back. Consistency with these movements will prevent flare-ups and improve posture over time. To manage back pain in the long term, look at your daily habits. Sitting for extended periods, lifting with poor technique, or even sleeping in an awkward position can contribute to your discomfort. Be mindful of your posture throughout the day. A balanced approach combining mobility, strength, and better habits will set you on the path to a pain-free lower back. Do you have any questions about these stretches and exercises?
