Cure Serious Back Pain NATURALLY

Are you feeling stiff at the back when you wake up? Feel a muscle pulling when you bend to pick a paper and your day is spoilt because of a leg ache? What do you think is causing all this trouble? Probably the hamstring muscles at the back of your thighs are tight or the “Piriformis” muscle in your buttocks (this muscle helps the outward movement of your leg) is taut. They need to be relaxed and strong if they are not to trouble you. So, what do we do to solve this problem? The best method is to do exercises which will strengthen these muscles and help you to stay fit, healthy and flexible.

Let me explain two simple exercises:

1. Sit on an exercising mat or on a folded blanket on the floor. This exercise is very helpful since back pain exercises and stretches are very close related to each other. Keep you left leg extended and fold you right knee towards the floor with the right foot resting near your left thigh. Your folded knee may not touch the floor in the initial stages. You can rest your bent knee on a pillow. Sit with your back straight and inhale deeply. Raise your arms as you inhale and count a slow five. (Remember to inhale deeply and slowly and then count five. This is to retain the inhaled air in you body for that long) Now exhale slowly as you bend over the extended left leg with a flat back and touch your toes with your fingers.

Relax and count to 5 from 0 slowly. To treating back pain faster, come slowly back to original position and repeat with the other leg. Exercising identical slow since it acquires time to stretch your muscles. Over a period of time you will be able to bend and stretch more and as you keep training, the muscles will start becoming more flexible. Do the exercises five times with each leg to start with and increase the number slowly.

2. Extend both your legs and then cross your right leg over the left with your knee bent so that the heel of your right foot is touching the outside of your left thigh. Keep your hands at the back (Not resting on the floor). Keep your back totally erect and inhale deeply and slowly and count a slow five. Then exhale slowly as you bend your body over your legs. Count a slow five again. Then slowly come back to original posture. Repeat the same with the other leg. The idea is to finally touch your bent knee with your forehead. It will take some times to get some benefits from it.

3. Keep focus and take very deep breath. As a race we seem to be taking shallow breaths from our chest. It is important that we breathe from our diaphragm so that our entire body gets a supply of fresh oxygen. Exercise well, breathe deeply and keep fit whether you are forty or fifty.
