Lower Back Pain Exercises

[BP4MS]

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons offers a series of exercises, with accompanying diagrams. They start with 6 initial exercises, then have 6 intermediate exercises, some including a large ball, and finish with 3 advanced exercises.

The suggestion is that a orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist may recommend exercises for 10 to 30 minutes, 1 to 3 times a day.

The initial exercises include heel slides, wall squats and heel raises.
Intermediate exercises include single knee to chest stretch, hamstring stretch and lumbar stabilization with a ball.

Many studies have very conclusively proved that yogasanas are very effective for back pain. These asanas are so versatile that whatever the cause of back pain, it is addressed. And if a person practices regularly, not only his back pain is resolved, he enjoys a very good health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
