Lower Back Pain

http://TheBestWayToExercise.com
The biggest rack can be a pain in the back. Protect yourself by lifting weights off (and lowering weights onto) a dumbbell rack one at a time. Use your other arm for support when necessary. ALWAYS use proper form during your workout, even in between exercises.

Best Exercise to Reduce Low Back Pain: The Squat (and variations)

http://devchengkalath.com

The Squat and Variations Described By Toronto Physiotherapist Dev Chengkalath.

Sit to stand:

This simple variation of the squat is an extremely functional low back pain rehabilitation exercise that will help you retrain one of your most common movement patterns.

When executed properly, this exercise will dramatically improve your hip mobility and increase your lumbar spine stability.

In order to complete this movement correctly, make sure you are a pushing your hips backwards into the seat while keeping your low back immobile. There should be little to no movement that takes place around your lumbar spine.

This movement should be done under control and you shouldn’t allow yourself to “plop” into the seat.

To stand back up, squeeze your buttocks to extend your hips and push yourself up off the seat. Make sure that there is no movement though the lower back.

Squat:

Use the same movements as the sit to stand, however, in this case, there is no chair used.

Squat down as low as you can while still keeping your torso in the neutral position, with no excessive rounding or arching.

With both variations, imagine spreading the floor apart with your feet, as though you are pulling taffy apart. This will activate your hip stabilizers and improve activation of the glutes.

Key Points:

-keep your head and chest up
-when sitting, push the hips back
-keep the spine in neutral, no excess rounding or arching
-movement should come through your hips, not your back
-spreading the floor apart to activate your hip stabilizers

How I Ended My Lower Back Pain – Part 7: Ab Coaster

I love this machine! In refining my streching & exercise program, I bought a few pieces of equipment, although this one cost me $400, it was the most expensive one I bought. It’s not about how much you spend, it’s about how much you use it, and whether it does what it’s supposed to do. This one is a winner.

In this video I demonstrate how I use the Ab Coaster. Of all the abdominal exercises I do, this one is the most effective. The most important thing you have to do in eliminating low back pain is to strengthen your abdominal muscles. Your lower back needs their support. If you’re overweight, get rid of those extra pounds – they are killing your back!

After 8 years of intense low back pain, I had to do something, and this exercise & stretching program did it in 6 months. Now all I have to do is maintain it for the rest of my life. I have no doubt that I will continue to sustain this program. I guess I needed 8 years of lower back pain as my wake-up call. But I’m awake now, and I realize that I caused I caused the problem by ignoring my body’s need for strong back support muscles. I needed this program at age 45, but I didn’t get it going until age 56. If I needed it at age 45, how much more will I need it at age 65, or age 75?

The best time to start anything is now. Actually you can only start or do anything NOW. You can say you’ll do it in the future, but if you ever do it, when you do it – it will be NOW. Some people continually put important things off until some future time that never comes. If you have back pain, the time to start your daily stretching & exercise program is NOW.
