The Back PAIN Solution

Back Pain Relief

Any sufferer of back pain will tell you that their immediate objective is to reduce pain and restore mobility. While the natural tendency may be to rest, exercise may be the most effective way to speed recovery from low back pain. A Finnish study found that persons who continued their activities without bed rest following the onset of low back pain appeared to have better back flexibility than those who rested in bed for a week.

Exercise, including stretching and strengthening of the muscles along the posterior chain (calves, glutes, hamstrings and lower back) has been shown to benefit many lower back pain sufferers by restoring muscle balance, strength and flexibility.

4 Ways To Keep Your Back Healthy

  • 1) Strengthen Your Core. Not surprisingly, a person in good physical condition will generally reduce their risk of back injuries while the risk for those with weak core fitness is nearly doubled.

  • 2) Increase Flexibility. By stretching the muscles in the posterior chain and anterior chain, you can maximize your flexibility and drastically reduce your risk of muscle imbalance injury.

  • 3) Work On Coordination And Balance. Just walking regularly for exercise can help you maintain your coordination and balance. Performing balance exercises can also help to keep you steady on your feet and reduce the risk of micro injuries.

  • 4) Check The Foundation. Be sure that your feet are healthy, that your arches are properly supported and your shoes are providing maximum shock absorption.

Medically Proven Solutions

CoreStretch®

Originally developed for use by physical therapists for clinical use.

The CoreStretch was developed to provide the deepest, most effective way to stretch your lower back, hamstrings, and posterior chain while restoring muscle flexibility and interaction, thereby, increasing range of motion, reducing pain, preventing further injury, and speeding up recovery. Unlike conventional stretching methods that force the back to curve, the unique design of the CoreStretch decompresses the back, enabling a deeper, more effective stretch of the posterior muscle chain supporting your back, spine, and legs. The CoreStretch provides a stretch that both allows the tissues to relax and elongate developing the major muscle groups of the core.

ProStretch has been proven to provide a deep stretch that increases flexibility along the entire interconnective chain, delivering the long-term flexibility needed for a lasting heel pain solution.

NOTE: Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. It's important to resume your usual activities gradually. If your body isn't completely healed, returning to your usual activities too quickly may only cause continued pain.

Traction and Inversion Tables

Well-designed studies evaluating traction have found the technique ineffective for long-term relief. While some people find traction temporarily helpful as part of a more comprehensive treatment program there are ways to achieve the same result without hanging upside down.

BReak TheRepetition

On average, your body can tolerate being in one position for about 20 minutes before you feel the need to adjust.

So, if you must sit or stand for a prolonged period, change your position often.

Take a 30 - 60 second timeout every 15 minutes or so to stretch or move around.
