BEAUFORT PERSONAL TRAINER: TO CURE ACHING BACK, GET UP AND KEEP MOVING…NO BED REST
(BEAUFORT, SC October 19, 2011) – What do you do when a backache sidelines you? Chances are you are going to rest and relax until the pain subsides.
However, a new study from University of Gothenburg in Sweden suggests that exercise, not inactivity, will help us recover from the back pain quicker. The last thing we want is bed rest or inactivity.
This is an important finding for millions of people because back pain – whether caused by muscle strain or injury – affects about 80 percent of adult Americans at some time in their lives. As a matter of fact, it is the second leading cause for missed workdays after the common cold.
The researchers found that inactivity can actually undermine the healing process because it ‘locks up’ the body’s movement, which can worsen back pain and slow down recovery. It prevents vital nutrients from reaching the injured area and reinforced the pattern that created the pain in the first place.
While our first reaction to the backache may be to sit or lie down and avoid all movement, remaining immobile for an extended period of time will weaken our muscles. And weak muscles, will not protect the spine from further injuries.
That’s why well-chosen exercises are crucial, not only for recovery from backache, but also for protection against future pain.
For best and quickest relief from an aching back, I suggests gentle stretching and strengthening exercises – without straining or jolting the impacted areas.
There are several types of exercises that can help alleviate the pain while restoring mobility and flexibility to your back better than bed rest, a trainer well versed in bio-mechanics and the spine will show you the best moves.
The program we created, Back Pain Relief4Life, has had international success and was featured in SELF magazine. Because of the success of the program it was syndicated to SELF’s sister blogs fitsugar. and wellandgoodnyc; these blogs will give you a taste of our program.
Another benefit of working with a fitness professional is that he or she can make sure you work out safely in a controlled and gradual manner.
There are certain exercises that a person suffering from back pain should avoid. If you go it alone, without proper guidance, you might inadvertently do something that will exacerbate your condition instead of improving it. The back is a very sensitive area so you should not take any risks.
Once the acute pain phase is gone, a more advanced program of strengthening and stretching exercises that will make your core muscles and other supporting tissues more resistant.
As always, prevention is the best policy. In other words, strengthen your back muscles so they are less prone to aches, pains and injuries in the future.
