By Luisa Sharpe


Lower back pain is a prevalent problem and especially in adults because of the nature of their jobs. People who spend the day lifting heavy loads and those who spend it bent over a computer can experience severe lower back pain and these needs to be stopped. There are several ways that you can get rid of this pain but physical therapy for lower back pain are the most effective.

It is important for everyone to know how to protect their backbone, even as they carry on their daily chores. For the ones who must lift heavy weights, they are advised to squat first before rising with the load. Bending the waist is a very delicate act, use the legs instead because they are stronger than your waist bone.

You can also use pain killers to get rid of the pain, but it is never permanent. This is why you should not use them in the first place because your body develops resistance to them. Also in some cases you may be hooked to the drug and so you will keep taking it to make the pain go away. This is an addiction, and it is not healthy at all.

The physical therapist begins by showing you how to do the lumbar extension stretches. They advise that you start from here because, this exercise aligns the rear part bones and makes the muscles so at ease. However, they will want to know if you have been examined by a doctor. This is important because you will know if you have a fracture in your spinal column and get the right treatment at the right time.

After going through the lumbar surgery, you will need the service of the therapist to remove any mark tissue adhesions which are found in the muscle tissue or the nerves. Using the stretches to cure your pains will help a lot because it will mean that the aches will not move to other parts of your body. You should use this method if you want total recovery.

In the sciatic nerve stretch, one lies on a flat surface and lifts their leg up. They keep stretching it out and drawing it back in for some time and after some time they exchange this leg for the other one. This will be especially helpful for people who have overexerted the lower rear part and also for pregnant women. It may help relieve pains caused by muscle pulls.

The prayer stretch and the angry cat stretch are lumbar flexion exercises that are most commonly used by golf and tennis players. They are essential in relieving pain caused by overexertion of the back. The prone press up exercises and the single knee to chest stretches are also important, and they can be done at home without any stress.

Make a point of seeing the physical therapist who will inform you which exercises you can do, and the ones to avoid doing. Enjoy doing the simple exercises at your home. Most of them are not stressful at all but rather fun and helpful to your body. You can be sure that your pains will be totally dealt with by these exercises.
