Stretching Exercises for Back Pain-Do They Work?

Although we all want to be more fit and healthy, sometimes pain can derail our best efforts to exercise. Back pain is one of the worst culprits, as it can leave Image by JD'na via Flickr us out of commission for weeks or even months. (I'm still recovering from my last bout, which started 4 weeks ago, and I'm just now able to resume my regular yoga workouts.)

There are a number of different exercises that can be very helpful, both to alleviate back pain and prevent future episodes. We have some recommendations on our website at http://www.newholisticliving.com/painrelief.html, but it really depends on your specific condition, as to which stretches and exercises will actually work for you.

Doing the wrong ones won't do much good, or can actually hurt more than they help, and make the problem worse. The article below offers some guidance, and also a great free resource to help those suffering with back pain.

How do you know which exercises are the right ones for your specific condition?
If it was so simple why would so many people still be in pain? The truth is, in many cases it is that simple. Unfortunately, neither your doctor, or chiropractor ever took the time to teach you how to identify the true cause of your pain. Instead, they would rather treat the symptoms.

Exercises for Relieving Back Pain

Although today’s topic doesn’t really address the fun side of exercise, it’s one that has been on my mind a lot this week, with my most recent episode of debilitating back pain.

Image via WikipediaThese come upon me from time to time — used to be a lot more frequent a few years ago, but regular chiropractic care and a good exercise regimen has narrowed down my major incidences of pain to about once a year.

This most recent one was probably the worst in several years (which you can see as either good or bad, I suppose).

The worst part of back pain, for me, is how much it affects my everyday life. Little things we take for granted (going to the bathroom, getting into – or out of – the car, putting on pants…) become incredible challenges that sometimes appear insurmountable. After every episode, I approach my back exercises (which sometimes start to seem tedious) with a new determination and appreciation. My favorite and most effective ones can be found in the recommendations on our main website: http://www.newholisticliving.com/painrelief.html (they are inexpensive, and easy to find), or get a good free video and book on reducing back pain quickly and naturally.

But I thought I’d throw a good video out there for you all today (click the link below if the video doesn’t appear). Hopefully this helps some reduce or avoid the kind of back  pain I’ve had to deal with for the past week (thankfully after a few chiropractic visits, and some very limited stretching, it seems to be resolving at last): **
