Back pain relief with exercise and stretches probably sounds like an oxymoron to you.
Raise your hand if your lower back hurts. A large percentage of adults have the same problem. We can say either bad posture or trauma are to blame. Some people have to spend all day sitting at work. Some others have to make the same movements at work, or some others got into some accident like me.
How to find back pain relief
These three things help reduce and prevent future lower back pain. Exercising helps you correct your posture, and over time, your pain will go away.
- SMR (Self-myofascial relief)
- stretching (Active stretches or static stretches)
- exercises (cardiovascular and weight lifting/resistance)
What’s stopping you now?
Since you have pain in your back, this prevents you from working out. The trick is finding workouts that won't add to your pain and that will give you relief after your first sessions.
That's where I come in!
