4 Posture Exercises to Get Rid Of Back Pain

Society is based in a forward rounded position. We sit at a desk or in front of a computer all day then when we need a break we check out phones and if we go to a gym, the majority of our exercises encourage us to become forward rounded. Is there any surprise that we have low back pain?

It’s not good enough to only perform back exercises when you have pain, you have to add them into your weekly plan to prevent that back pain.

Okay, it’s not an exercise but it works. Simply getting off the computer, out of your chair and moving around plays a big role in your low back health. There is a term known as “tissue creep” which states that the longer you stay in a specific position, rounded in front of the computer, your ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues adapt to that posture. When you have to then move suddenly or exercise, those tissues lose that extensibility.

Simply walking and moving around goes a long way.

More so a shoulder rehab exercise, the wall angel can be modified to be a low back exercise as well. By improving your scapular health you improve your low back health. As you perform any overhead movement, with impaired shoulder health, you end up extending at your low back. Optimizing your scalper health is a key tool for back health.

One sided carries is an excellent strength building low back pain exercise. Start with a light load and hold a kettlebell in one hand then walk a short distance. This off set load will activate your core muscles and help you strengthen at a neutral spine range. It also improves your grip strength as well.
