How You Can Prevent Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is created by your normal day to day activity.
You bend and lift, you twist and turn and then you wake up or stand up and can't move.
You now are a victim of lower back pain.
Your lower back pain can stop you from enjoying your leisure times and family times.
You aren't able to get into your garden or do your household chores easily.
So you need to learn ways to help prevent this occurring.
Lower back pain is commonly caused by your normal daily activity, if you look at what you do the solution are very simple.
Each activity you do, whether it is bending or lifting or twisting, is working your lower back and other areas of your body.
It is just like going to a gym for a work-out.
The big difference is this...
Most gym work-outs last about an hour - yet you will spend three hours gardening.
You may take two hours to vacuum your floor and do the housework.
When you go to the gym you are told before you do any exercise you should warm up and when you are completed you need to warm down.
What would your gym instructor say if you decided to just get into your weights routine without a warm up? Would they sit back and say - "go for it, warm ups are over rated".
Or are they more likely to encourage you to warm up, to prepare your self for the activity you are about to perform.
The same for warm downs, they are wanting you to ease the muscles you have used to help them recover and to become stronger with time.
All designed to limit injuries and aches and pains, including lower back pain.
My question is this - if you spend more time doing work around your house, if it involves lifting, bending and twisting, why do you not warm up or down? As these activities are the most common cause of lower back pain, surely it is wise to prepare for them.
Warming up for household activity is easy.
All you need to do is go for a five minute walk, simulate the task you are about to do - just without resistance.
If you are going to garden then bend and twist like you intend to do, if you are going to vacuum, then lean over and simulate vacuuming just without the machine.
A few minutes doing this before the activity and a few after the activity will prevent a lot of lower back pain.
A few minutes spent warming up and down can save you weeks of lower back pain.
A simple task to do that can help to easily prevent lower back pain.
All you need to do now is implement it into your daily routines.
Lower back pain does not need to be a common household problem.
Remember, 80% of the adult population suffers from lower back pain, a simple warm up and warm down can reduce the lower back pain percentages dramatically.
