Always talk to your doctor prior to making any changes to a workout or starting a new workout. This is especially important if you're recovering from an injury or have had a history of a back injury. Always get clearance from your doctor before starting to work your back. Ask her when you can start exercise, what type of exercise, what resistance weight and if there are any other restrictions. Also ask her what types of pain are to be expected. Some generalized muscle soreness is typical and usually doesn't signify you've injured your back. However, more acute pain or pain similar to a past injury should signify you need to stop exercising and call your doctor immediately. Follow correct form. Poor form during exercise is one of the most common reasons for injuries. Since back injuries can be severe and debilitating, it's very important to ensure you always use correct form. Consider talking with a personal trainer, exercise specialist or a staff member from your local gym. They'll be able to tell you how to do exercises, use the machines and have correct form throughout your exercise workout. Try doing some of your exercises in front of a mirror. Watch yourself as you perform the move. Make sure you're using correct form and make any changes to your form as necessary. Do more than back strengthening exercises. Whether you're recovering from an injury or are just trying to prevent one, it's recommended by fitness professionals to tone and strengthen more muscles groups besides your back. More than one muscle group assists or aids your back muscles in a variety of activities. Since your back muscles are smaller compared to others (like legs), it's the union of two muscle groups that helps make you stronger. Focus on also strengthening your core, pelvis and hips. Many movements require the use of all of these muscles groups. Also work your legs. Whenever you're lifting (either at the gym or at work), you need to use mostly your legs with the addition of some back muscles to effectively and safely lift objects. Stretching is an important way to maintain your health and fitness, especially if you haven't exercised in awhile. It's important to stretch warm muscles. Do a light warm up and then do your pre-workout stretch. Also stretch your entire body, not just your back. Do a 90/90 neutral back stretch. This will help open up the muscles in your back, readying them for your workout. The stretch will also help your chest muscles open up and reduce tension in muscles and ligaments overall. You might also like to consider a thoracic stretch. Place the back of a chair facing you to serve as a stable support. Stand behind this, placing your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees slightly. Push back through your backside; you should feel a stretch along your upper back. Hold for a count of 10, then move back up gently. Another thoracic stretch: Sit on a chair and place your feet flat on the ground. Roll your upper body slowly forward from the waist. Place your hands beneath your legs and grip the chair legs. Then curl back up slowly.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Yoga Terms And Meanings]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/YogaTermsAndMeanings/pictures-of-back-exercises</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/YogaTermsAndMeanings/pictures-of-back-exercises</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 01 Jan 2025 01:07:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>2 Best Lower back Strengthening Exercises</title> <description>Lying Scorpion.

With this workout, your posterior chain will be worked well, twice a week (it will also be worked on Monday), with sufficient rest between the 2 sessions, allowing for plenty of rest and time for growth. 2 Lower Body: Deadlift OR Squat or a variation of either (i.e. Squat - Box Squats, Front Squat, Wide Stance, Deadlift - Trap Bar Deadlift, Snatch Grip Deadlift, Sumo Deadlift, Platform Deadlift) - work to 3-5RM Bulgarian Split Squat. Hip Extension Movement (i.e. Stiff/Bent-Legged Good Mornings, Hyper-extensions, Pull Throughs, Romanian Deadlift, Reverse Hyper Extensions) - 3 x 6-12 Weighted Abdominal Movement (i.e. Cable Crunches, Side Bends, Weighted Crunches) - 3 x 8-15 Suggested Schedules: Mon: Upper Tue: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Wed: Rest Thu: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Fri: Lower Sat: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Sun: REST/Recovery (i.e. deep tissue massage) Or: Mon: Upper Tue: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Wed: Lower Thu: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Fri: Upper Sat: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Sun: Lower Comments: This is my personal favorite and in my opinion most productive workout for the posterior chain. It is easily adjustable for those who like less/more frequent training splits as it can be done 2 or 4 days per week. It covers all areas of the posterior chain development well in one session, and is quick while still being an incredibly intense workout. 3 Full Body: Deadlift OR Squat or a variation of either (i.e. Squat - Box Squats, Front Squat, Wide Stance, Deadlift - Trap Bar Deadlift, Snatch Grip Deadlift, Sumo Deadlift, Platform Deadlift) - 5 x 5 Upper Body Push (Flat/Incline/Decline Bench Press, Weighted Dips) - 5 x 5 Upper Body Pull (i.e. Bent Over Rows, Seated Rows, Cable Rows, Weighted Pullups) Weighted Abdominal Movement (i.e. Standing Cable Crunches, Woodchops, Side Bends, Weighted Crunches) - 3 x 8-15 Mon: Full Body Tue: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Wed: Rest Thu: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Fri: Full Body Sat: GPP/HIIT Cardio/Off Sun: Rest/Recovery (i.e. deep tissue massage) I understand a lot of people like to work the whole body in their sessions in the gym, which I don't have a problem with, as it can be beneficial for many as a change or a staple form of training.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Exercises]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Exercises/2-best-lower-back-strengthening-exercises</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Exercises/2-best-lower-back-strengthening-exercises</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 22 Dec 2024 01:03:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Good Spine Stretch</title> <description>Core exercises like the bridge can help you strengthen abs and back muscles.

See: Abdominal Exercises and Back Exercises - Getting Started 5 simple tips to help keep your spine as healthy as possible: 1. Let your spine really rest while sleeping. While you're lying down, all the structures in your spine that have worked hard all day finally have an opportunity to relax and be rejuvenated. To make the most of this time, you need a mattress and pillows that allow your spine to rest in a supported and comfortable way. See Mattresses and Sleep Positions for Each Back Pain Diagnosis and Best Pillows for Different Sleeping Positions Your choice of mattress and pillow is largely based on personal preference, your preferred sleep positions, and your specific back or neck problem. As long as you're choosing a mattress to ensure the best support and sleeping position for your condition, there are many available types of mattress can be helpful. 2. Exercise your core to strengthen abs and back muscles. Your core muscles—your lower back and abdominal muscles—need to be strong and supple in order to support your spine and take pressure off your lower back. Unfortunately, for most of us our core muscles are rarely used during everyday activities; they need to be toned through specific, targeted exercises. These exercises are simple and can be performed in 20 to 30 minutes as part of a daily routine. Article continues below 3. Your shoes need to support your spine. Whether you're walking for exercise or just to get where you're going, the shoes you wear play an important role in supporting your lower back. Good shoes provide a supportive base that helps the spine and body remain in alignment. For example, make sure the area of the shoe that fits the back of your heels is snug, but not overly tight, as a good fit in the heel prevents over pronation or supination—or too much rolling of the foot to the outside or inside. Massage has many therapeutic benefits. See: Can Massage Help Your Back Problem? 4. Enjoy the benefits of massage. Did you know that massage has a number of therapeutic benefits in addition to general stress relief? A good massage will help increase endorphins—the body's natural painkiller—in your bloodstream, which in turn may allow you cut back on pain medications. Massage can also encourage blood flow, which in turn brings healing nutrients to the affected area and can speed healing. While it's not the same as going to a massage therapist, having a massage chair in your home can be a practical and easy way to get some of the benefits of a shiatsu or Swedish massage. 5. Practice good ergonomics while sitting—and limit total sitting time. The discs in your lower spine are loaded 3 times more while sitting than standing, so long periods of sitting can create or aggravate a painful back condition. Moreover, when sitting at a desk and/or looking at a computer screen, our natural tendency is to slouch and lean forward, stressing our lumbar discs even more. Choosing the right office chair and practicing good posture while seated play an important role in promoting good posture and supporting the natural curves of your back. It's also important to do whatever you can to avoid sitting for long periods. Get up to stretch and walk around every 20 to 30 minutes, try working at a standup desk for at least part of the day, or get up and pace around when talking on the phone. The spine is meant to move to stay healthy, and movement fuels the spine with healthy nutrients. The topics covered here are simple ways to help support your spine and overall back health. Even when you are in serious pain and are undergoing extensive medical treatments, we encourage you try to remember the simple things you can do for your back—even small changes can help with the healing process over time.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Stretches]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/good-spine-stretch</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/good-spine-stretch</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Dec 2024 17:16:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to Reduce back pain by Exercise?</title> <description>While it can be hard to exercise through pain, lack of exercise can make your pain worse.

See: How Exercise Helps the Back Movement nourishes and repairs the discs, muscles, ligaments, and joints in your spine. Active exercise also helps incorporate the needed nutrients into and around the disc spaces throughout your spine. Too much rest will make your pain worse While pain makes it hard to exercise enough, lack of exercise can worsen the pain by leading to stiffness, weakness, and de-conditioning. In the case of disc-related pain, lack of exercise will deprive the injured disc of the nutrition it needs and this can lead to further degeneration and pain. Additionally, exercise and activity is needed to help reduce inflammation that naturally occurs in the tissues surrounding an injured disc. This swelling can further irritate nerves that are already affected by the highly inflammatory herniated disc material. Article continues below Regular hamstring stretching are essential for low back pain and sciatica therapy. Watch: Supine Hamstring Stretch (Towel Hamstring Stretch) for Sciatica Relief Video Stretching, strengthening, and aerobic conditioning exercises are all important It may take weeks or months of stretching, but you will find that the increase in your range of motion can lead to sustained pain relief. Stretching your hamstrings regularly is essential therapy for lower back pain and sciatica. If an episode of low back pain has lasted two weeks or more, a strengthening program helps with long-term recovery. Typical programs may include McKenzie exercises, lumbar stabilization training, and/or other prescribed exercises. See also Exercise and Back Pain and Click here Most doctors and physical therapists will tell you that their patients who are aerobically conditioned tend to have less back pain and sciatica. Low impact aerobic exercise brings nutrients to injured structures in the back and helps them heal. Walking or biking can be effective forms of low impact exercise, as can working out on an elliptical machine. If you are in severe pain, water therapy is an option that can provide multiple therapeutic and conditioning benefits with less stress.

For others, running itself is fine but the pain appears afterwards. The solution is the same in either case, and believe it or not it doesn’t involve stretching. The solution is also the same if you have back pain and aren’t even a runner! This is because, unlike many common running injuries that are produced by the distinctive way we move when we run, lower back pain is a more general problem that can be triggered or aggravated by running but doesn’t really come from running.

That’s why it’s important to give those muscles an assist by making them stronger. According to a review published in February 2016 in JAMA Internal Medicine , exercise can reduce a person’s risk of developing lower back pain, as well as someone’s need to take sick days related to lower back pain. In addition, a regular regimen of back exercises can help build muscles, making them better able to support your spine. Experts recommend back exercise sessions of 15 to 30 minutes, two to three times each week. Start Back Exercises With a Good Stretch Stretching improves flexibility in the muscles that support your back. That flexibility can be very important in preventing lower back pain when the spine is subjected to extreme stress. Before you start any sort of back exercise program, be sure to consult your family doctor — especially if you already have trouble with lower back pain. Remember to stretch slowly, breathe deeply, and pay attention to your muscles — a stretch should feel good, not painful. Consider giving these stretches a try: Pelvic tilt. Lie on your back with your knees bent, your feet flat on the floor, and your arms at your sides. Press the base of your spine into the floor for a few seconds, tilting your hips up, then relax. Repeat 5 to 10 times. Double knee to chest. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Cup your hands just under your knees and gently pull your knees toward your chest. Hold for 5 seconds, then lower your legs to the starting position. Repeat 5 to 10 times. Side stretch. From a standing position, stretch one arm over your head while bending your body to the opposite side. Keep your other hand on your waist. Perform this stretch in a flowing motion, without jerking or twisting your body. Hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 5 to 10 times on each side. Back arch. Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your palms on your lower back. Bend backward, exhaling and supporting your back with your hands. Keep your knees straight. Hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 5 to 10 times. Routine Exercises to Strengthen Support for the Lower Back One of the best exercises for reducing the risk of back pain focuses not on your back but on your front, says Nick Shamie, MD, an associate professor of spine surgery at UCLA School of Medicine, and director of spinal deformity surgery at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital, and a spokesman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. "Abdominal crunches are very good for the lower back, " Dr. Shamie says. "The abs provide invaluable support for your spine."</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Back Pain]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/strengthen-lower-back-muscle</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/strengthen-lower-back-muscle</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:33:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Gentle Stretch for Lower back pain</title> <description>Eighty percent of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives.

Most low back pain is of a soft tissue nature and does not require surgery. Unlike breaking your arm or leg, back pain is debilitating with all movements. If you are experiencing back pain and then move your arm or leg, you will experience further pain in your back. Back pain can either be localized or referred. If you have localized back pain, a particular section of your back is bothering you. If you have referred back pain, the tension starts in your back and works its way down your leg, affecting your hip, knee and/or ankle. Do apply heat or ice Heat or ice should be applied to your lower back when you experience pain. Heat relaxes the muscle and feels good, and ice numbs the area. Apply heat or ice for 20-30 minutes, three times per day. You can apply heat for a longer period of time as long as you are able to move with the heating pad. If you can only use the heating pad while sitting or lying down, the 20-30 minutes, three times per day rule must be followed. Do gentle backbends Bend your back gently while standing or lying face down. This helps reduce pressure that may be caused by a disc on the nerve and helps reduce mechanical dysfunction. Do this ten times in a given period as needed. If the pain stays the same or decreases, do another ten gentle bends. If pain increases after ten bends, discontinue the exercise. Do use a pillow or towel behind lower back Use a pillow or towel behind your lower back while sitting in a chair or car for longer than fifteen minutes. This helps to comfortably support the alignment of the spine. Do walk Get up every hour or two, and walk around for five or ten minutes. When you experience back pain, you want to gently move the area. The area, already tight from spasms in the muscle, will slowly ease up from walking. If you do not move, the area will continue to tighten and pain will potentially increase. Do gentle stretching Gentle stretching will prevent further tightness and maintain the flexibility of the area. This form of stretching includes single knee to chest, double knee to chest, bending forward in a sitting position and dropping your knees from side to side while lying on your back. Perform these stretches three to five times each, three to five times per day. Hold each stretch for thirty seconds or as long as can be tolerated each time. Do not lift heavy weights Do not bend, twist or lift any type of heavy weight. Lifting a heavy object puts extra stress on joints, ligaments and muscles. This could lead to disc herniation, joint dysfunction and increased pain. Do not stay in bed Do not stay in bed for long periods of time when you are not sleeping. A lack of movement will cause your back to tense up, increasing muscle trigger points or back spasms. Do not sit for too long Do not sit for longer than thirty minutes to one hour at a time. Sitting in one position for longer than an hour will result in tightness and possibly an increase in pain. Do not over exercise Lifting heavy weights, running or performing aerobic activity will result in fatigue, leading to further instability of the back and potential injury. Do not wait to seek help Within a few days, if acute low back pain persists, see a physical therapist for an evaluation and treatment. Usually, waiting longer than a few days will not spontaneously fix the problem. Summary When you experience low back pain, gentle movements are the key, and gentle stretches are the best exercise. If pain does not reduce significantly within a few days, seek treatment from a physical therapist. It is more difficult to treat pain that has persisted for a longer period of time. If pain is addressed quickly, the recovery process is usually shorter.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Stretches]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/gentle-stretch-for-lower-back-pain</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/gentle-stretch-for-lower-back-pain</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 22 Oct 2024 15:09:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Yoga and back pain Relief</title> <description>MIAMI (CBSMiami) – New research finds yoga can be the best prescription for millions of Americans suffering from chronic lower back pain.

Judith Zaborowski attends yoga class at Samamkaya Yoga in New York City. “I apparently have a spine that is covered with arthritis, ” said Zaborowski. The 74-year-old says the practice helps ease her back pain. “I’m much more comfortable with movement, ” said Zaborowski. Now a new study from Boston Medical Center backs that up. Researchers looked at more than 300 low-income patients with chronic lower back pain. Some took yoga classes designed for back pain once a week while others did physical therapy. “We found the yoga was as effective as physical therapy for reducing pain intensity, improving people’s physical function, and perhaps most importantly reducing pain medication use, ” said study author Dr. Rob Saper. Instructor Debby Green said yoga cultivates balance in the body, which can relieve back pain. “We have the equipment and we use it and it’s really helpful, but you could do it without equipment and yes everybody can do it, ” said Debby Green with the Samamkaya Yoga Back Care & Scoliosis Collective. Carol Shapiro has scoliosis and has suffered with back pain for much of her life. “When you’re in severe pain – I’m really not one for medication, it is truly debilitating, ” said Shapiro. She said yoga has allowed her to be much more mobile.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Relief]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Relief/yoga-and-back-pain-relief</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Relief/yoga-and-back-pain-relief</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 12 Oct 2024 15:07:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Back pain and Exercise</title> <description>The consensus is overwhelming: we've got a back pain problem in the US.

Millions of adults suffer from chronic pain that can seem incurable. We dove into that world today on our air: from treatment to surgery and more. We were joined by Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, author of a new book on the topic, and Dr. Carol Hartigan, medical director of the Spine Center and the Spine Rehabilitation Program at New England Baptist Hospital. Many of our listeners chimed in, too — both on air and online — with stories and struggles of back pain. Through a combination of personal experience and medical research, our guests arrived at simple conclusion: avoid surgery, and exercise more. Jakobson Ramin implored patients to trust surgeons who tell them surgery's not the right move, even if it seems like the silver bullet. In other words, don't go looking for the answer you want to hear. "You will find one who will say to you, I can help you, I can have you back running marathons in six weeks, " she said. "And that is where people get into terrible trouble." Dr. Hartigan especially warned against surgery for patients who have back pain, but not leg pain. "That's definitely not expected to respond well to surgery, " she said. So what should you do? "Keep as active as possible as tolerated. Try to keep as strong as possible, " Dr. Hartigan said. "Receive messages and surround yourself with clinicians who support you and give you permission to move and be active." But keep in mind, Dr. Hartigan said, that you may be out of shape and hyper-sensitive, so it's best to take it slow at first. "It's counter-intuitive to say, let's move the body part that hurts, but once we can confirm that it's benign, " Dr. Hartigan said, "then we can all agree there's nothing unsafe, then we can do the counter-intuitive thing and get that body part moving." What about the cracking and crunching of the chiropractor's office? Jakobson Ramin said patients should seek out chiropractors who've moved away from traditional practice and moved into intensive rehabilitative exercise. "I don't recommend, endorse or prescribe chiropracty, " Dr. Hartigan said, "however, a chiropractor who's recommending intensive exercise I think is a different story." Each patient's condition and experience is unique, of course. But consider giving our guests a listen and taking a new tack on back pain.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Yoga Terms And Meanings]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/YogaTermsAndMeanings/back-pain-and-exercise</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/YogaTermsAndMeanings/back-pain-and-exercise</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Oct 2024 15:03:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
