We can categorize this to - two different sections. Because everything is about balance in our life. If we are conduct intensive way of life - where we are mainly spend time in the standing positions. We have to treat our body accordingly to this states. To provide beneficial diet, proper rest and proper exercises for balance of the muscles. Because everything is about to maintain natural curves of the vertebral column. Which are affected by this how we are living and strength of the muscles.
So if you have problem with lower back pain try this:
1. Standing lifestyle:
- problem in that area affected by increase of lordosis L1-L5. So our natural curve is out of range.
- the best way is to start sleep on your back! On hard surface even without pillow! Use pillow only when you sleep on your left or right side. I know that is hard to accomplish this during the sleep. But I know it's possible.
- lie down on the floor and bend your knees so that your lower level of your back become closer to the surface.
- use exercises in which you are going to strengthen only specific muscles: abdominal muscles and gluteus maximus.
Operation it is the last resort and no one can tell you that everything will be normal! Second thing it's expensive. Do everything that you think is necessary.
2. Sedentary lifestyle:
- you have weak gluteus maximus and very strong iliopsoas muscle
- mainly it's about set in motion hips and your lower limbs so practice exercises, sporst all kind such as: dance, swimming, bike, walks, yoga, martial arts and so on. This helps sustain natural anatomical curves. Because it's not natural to seat all day long in the same position. We are people so we need to move it's in our genes. Movement means life! Not only movement in our heads.
But good to remember! This can lead to increase of lordosis (L1-L5) or increase of kyphosis (Th1-Th12). So everything depend of your symptoms.
Upper back pain
This problem can affect people who lead standing and sedentary lifestyle. The causes of strong muscles like pectoralis major and anterior deltoideus because we are mainly using repetitive movements in physical work (example on the line) or mentaly work (example seating in front of the computer). Weak muscles like: rhomboideus, middle and inferior of trapezius, latissimus dorsi.
Of course this lead to poor body posture.
The best way is to strengthen weak muscles. Without this can lead to increase of kyphosis (Th1-Th12) and problems on that level. Structure of the vertebral column looks like letter "C".
So remember treat this muscles. Use your imagination. If you have personal trainer or therapist tell him and ask for specific exercises.
