Back Pain Exercises and Muscle Balance Therapy For Pain Relief

Muscle balance therapy and back pain exercises are a great way to avoid back pain, since they stretch the muscles, joints and bones and return the body to a natural position. Stretch workouts include shoulder shrug, triceps, arm, leg, trunk, torso and other stretches. The following exercises will show you a few workouts to enable you to strectch your body and muscles.

Back Pain Stretching Exercises

Start your muscle balance therapy standing erect and resting your hands on your hips, shrug your shoulders. Rotate your shoulders in a slow motion and for ten counts. Next, perform the same action while rotating the shoulders in slow motion toward the front. Triceps are the extensor muscles, which require stretching to avoid tension. Lift your right arm, while standing erect and place your fingertips on your right shoulder. Use your left hand and push it against the opposite elbow. Lower the fingers on your right hand down the length of your back as far as possible, while pushing on your elbow. Perform the same exercise with your left arm to the count of eight.

Now stretch your arms. Stand erect, keeping your feet together and raise your arms level with your shoulders and stretch them outward. Circle your arms in a clockwise direction to the count of ten and then perform the same actions anticlockwise. Make the circles with your arms as wide as is comfortable.

Stretching For Back Pain

The next step of your back pain workout is to stretch your back and body. Stand erect, keep your feet in alignment with your shoulders and gradually rotate your body from the waist and then stretch to one side. Stretch ahead and move your body in rotation to the opposite side. Continue to rotate in a circle from the waist, first one side then the other.

Another exercise is keep your feet in line with your shoulders, slightly apart and standing erect stretch upward. Bend your knees slightly and lock your fingers behind your head and bend starting at the waistline, touching your right knee with your right elbow. Next, rotate your torso, rotating it to the left and then touch your left knee. Extend backwards until you are standing erect again and repeat three times.

In an upright position, move your feet apart and bend your knees. Put your hands together and raise them above your shoulders and twist to one side from the waist. Do this exercise on the opposite side to the count of five. Turn the upper section of your body only, keeping your hips and legs still.

Stand erect, while extending your hands down at your sides. Gradually lift your arm over your head as far as you can reach and bend your knees slightly. With your free arm, slide it down your leg and with your opposite arm reach as high over your head as possible. Stretch downwards on your thigh and then return to the upright position. Do three repetitions on each side for this exercise.

Bend your elbows at the height of your shoulders, while standing upright and feet in line with your shoulders. Keeping your arms at shoulder height, join your fingertips and swing your arms backward. Counting to ten, do this exercise from side to side.

To lose the back pain effectively, you must continue to exercise and stretch your muscles and body. It is important to keep your back muscles as strong as possible and these exercises can help provide back pain relief.
