Back pain physio tips and exercises to treat my back pain myself

• Stay active to help with back pain

If you have back pain, don’t shy away from physical activity! It is very human to think: I have back pain I shouldn’t move or I will increase the pain. This is wrong, this is false logic. To have a healthy back you need strong muscles and flexibility.

Movement is the key !

Engaging in regular exercise is actually beneficial, as it helps to stretch and strengthen your back muscles, as well as improve your overall flexibility and strength.

However, high-impact sports such as tennis, football, and horse riding should be avoided, as should running. Instead, try low-impact activities such as brisk walking, yoga, Pilates, tai-chi, or even swimming. These activities can help you strengthen your back muscles and reduce your risk of experiencing back pain in the future.

• Stretches for back pain

Incorporating some easy stretching exercises into your daily routine is a great way to prevent and alleviate back pain.

• The right posture for your back pain

What is the solution? Work on the strength and mobility of your back muscle that will automatically improve your posture and so relieve back pain.

Also, make sure to maintain a proper posture when sleeping. Whether you sleep on your back or side, ensure that your back isn’t excessively bent. If needed, consider using a pillow to help.

• Can my back pain be due to stress?

Various surveys and research suggest that there is a strong link between stress and back pain. When you experience high levels of stress, you tend to develop back pain because stress causes muscles tension to increase, leading to blockages in certain parts of the spine, particularly in the lumbar region and trapezes muscle (upper back and shoulder) . Chronic stress also decreases the body’s sensitivity to cortisol, a hormone that has anti-inflammatory effects. This can result in increased inflammation in the body, which can exacerbate conditions such as osteoarthritis or spondylitis and cause more frequent painful episodes.

• Is my weight causing back pain?

Regardless of your age, carrying excess weight can have a significant impact on your back health. When you gain weight,your centre of gravity can shift, which can affect the natural curvature of your spine. But mainly, remember that your lower spine hold all the weight of your upper body, so if your increase the weight your increase the strain that you put on your lower back which become sore. This increased stress on your muscles and ligaments of you back need to be limited as much as possible.

Which Exercises can I do at Home to relieve my Back Pain ? Back pain exercises tips by our specialized physiotherapist.

• The Cat Stretch

In back pain, the lower back is often the primary area of discomfort. The popular round back or cat pose exercise can provide relief for lower back pain.

• Start in an all-fours position
• Arch your back upwards while looking forward
• Round your back by tucking in your head and buttocks
• Return to the starting position with a flat back while still on all fours.
• Repeat this exercise around 20 times to experience the benefits.

• Diaphragm Breathing

Breathing plays an important role in alleviating back pain. Deep breathing, specifically using your diaphragm, engage the transverse muscle, which is essential for maintaining a healthy back:

• Lie on your back with your legs bent at a 90° angle.
• Take a deep breath, expanding your stomach.
• Exhale while tightening your stomach muscles, ensuring your back remains on the ground.
• Repeat the inhalation and exhalation process 15-20 times, taking your time.

 

• Low Back Rotation

This exercise is another effective way to combat lower back pain. You can perform it on a mat or on the floor:

• Start by lying on your back with the right leg bent at a 90° angle while the left leg lays down on the ground.
• Move your right knee to the left side, and place your right arm in the opposite direction.
• Repeat the same motion, switching sides.
• To feel the benefits of this exercise, perform the movement 10-15 times on each side.

• Shoulder Squeeze

One of the simplest yet effective exercises to alleviate back pain is to stretch your back while standing or sitting:

• Begin by standing up straight, making sure not to arch your lower back.
• Stretch your upper back, squeezing your shoulder blades for 5-10 seconds.
• Return to the starting position before stretching again.
• Repeat this movement 10-20 times, taking breaks if needed.

• Back Extension

This exercise is great for targeting your lower back muscles, which can help relieve back pain and improve your posture.

• Lie on your stomach with your hands behind your head
• Keep your feet on the ground and your elbows pointing outwards
• Slowly lift your chest off the ground, while keeping your neck in a neutral position
• Hold the position for 5-10 seconds
• Lower yourself back down to the starting position
• Repeat the exercise 10-15 times

It’s important to avoid arching your back too much during this exercise, as this can put extra strain on your spine. Instead, focus on engaging your lower back muscles to lift your chest off the ground.

• Knees To Chest

Here’s another simple and effective set of exercises to help alleviate low back pain:

• Lay flat on your back with your legs flat on the floor
• Use both hands to pull up one knee and press it towards your chest
• As you do this, engage your abdominal muscles and press your spine to the floor
• Hold this position for 5 seconds and then release
