Have you ever had trouble bending over, playing with
children, or dancing? Maybe you’ve been wanting to play golf and you
can’t because of the stiffness and the pain. Are you uncomfortable
driving in the car and even while you’re doing light house work? You
might even mind that you sit at your desk feeling the pain rather than
getting anything productive, putting your business or your job in
jeopardy. This sort of back pain problem is common and I think you
should do something about it. The cost to you of putting up with this
pain is way to high.
Before we get into my personal recommendations for you, I want to
make clear that you should be evaluated by a health professional first. I
don’t know everyone out there and I don’t want anyone to get hurt, so
you need to get checked out as a priority. You need to know what the
source of your pain is.
Once you’ve got that done, you should work towards eliminating
anything that is contributing to your pain. This could be your bed, poor
posture, a bad office chair, or even poor form with the exercises you
routinely perform. You need to be careful as you address the pain
problem because you can easily aggravate the problem, but you can also
easily make it better.
When you work out, you should always keep the back’s alignment
straight without trying to round-it-out. Rows are another move that you
should avoid.
The way you hold your back when picking up weights or other objects
is also important. You need to hold yourself to good posture at all time
before you make things even worse. You should also be mindful of the
way you are doing a row, dead lift, and other movements. For any drills
that you’ve never been shown how to do, you might want to skip them
until you research more on the proper form to perform the routines you
have chosen.
Picking things up is the source of more injuries than you might be
aware of. It’s surprising how reaching for something on the floor has
devastated so many lives.
Many folks don’t pay attention to simple lifting because they don’t consider it as part of their routine.
