Back pain is a pathology suffered by millions of people around the world, of which 2 million on a chronic basis. This annoying disorder is related, in most cases, to muscle issues, of ligaments or vertebral discs.
The cause and before the pain is, as you can imagine, bad posture: The 56% of these disorders concerns the lumbosacral tract, presumably because between home and office, you spend sitting around 12-14 hours a day. Impressive right? Back pain becomes chronic only in 10% cases for a malfunction of a part of the back (disc herniations, neuralgia, arthritis artrosi, but also overweight and therefore excessive load on the spine): for these diseases medical care is essential and indispensable to recover well-being and mobility.
If the causes are temporary, perhaps triggered by bad postures during the day or sleep, we see that the remedies can be simple and affordable for everyone. Here we go then:
A bit’ healthy exercise…
Gymnastics is one of the best allies against back pain. Here are some exercises that you can do safely (from the book: “Wellness If I can”, Paul Manneschi.)
- Back exercises: gymnastics in the office The “unlaced shoes”: always sit with our feet firmly on the ground and legs, Stretch forward as precisely to tie your shoes, first one way and then the other, and finally in front of the legs (still well 5 seconds). This exercise “stira” gently lumbar vertebrae. When you go up the back ristendete; this in two ways (…) with arms down and shoulders back “nicely straight”. Returning upwards with arms raised and hands clasped, that continue to push back. Again, simply repeat 2 Or 3 times. This exercise allows the back to extend and promotes both circulation and extension of the back muscles.
Other useful tips:
If you suffer from back pain, you need to hire a few tips! Here is a little here “to do list” never to be forgotten:
- always Bend knees while lifting a weight and avoid the combined movements of rotation and flexion-extension-rotation while objects and weights moved or is placed, mostly.
- Do not ever stay too long in the same position: getting up and taking a walk won't be a solution, but it certainly helps the back not to assume a sedentary position for too long which causes an accumulation of weight on the lumbosacral area.
- If you just can not move, then tilt the torso forward at the hips, resting his elbows on the countertop: You will thus shift the weight from your back to your upper limbs.
