Back pain is a common experience, but it doesn't have to be a constant companion. In this video, we debunk common myths surrounding back pain and offer practical advice on how to prevent and manage it.
Firstly, it's important to understand that back pain is a normal part of life and not something to panic about. It should be viewed like a headache or common cold, not as a sign of irreversible damage.
To prevent back pain, incorporate daily stretching and strengthening exercises into your routine. Move your spine in all directions, add basic core exercises, and gradually increase intensity. If that's not possible, at least go for brisk walks and take posture breaks. Avoid slouching for long periods and follow correct lifting techniques when lifting heavy objects. Quit smoking and maintain a healthy diet to support your spine health.
Contrary to popular belief, limiting mobility when experiencing back pain is not the solution. Safely exercising between pain episodes can alleviate discomfort and make you less fragile.
For those who spend long hours in the car, make it a habit to break up long road trips by stopping and walking around. Changing positions can provide relief and prevent stiffness.
Incorporating specific exercises like back extensions in lying and standing positions, as well as mid-back extensions, can help relieve back pain. Additionally, standing desks can be effective in engaging your core and improving posture, but they are not a sole solution. Proper ergonomics and regular movement are key to preventing back problems related to workplace settings.
