Start by getting the hang of the movement by arching your back off the surface a little. Lie on your back with your knees bent up and your feet flat on the surface. Do one side at a time initially but as you get more confident you can go from one side to the other. Relax into the movement and allow the range of stretch to increase as you do it. Keeping your knees together, roll them to one side and back to the middle. Hold the position at the top of the movement for a second or two each time. When you pull one leg up, try and keep your other leg flat on the ground. Do five times on one send, have a short rest, do the same with the other. Lying on your back with your legs straight out, take one leg and bend it up to your chest, pulling your knee up to your chest with your hands. Three times a day, three sets of ten movements would be a good aim with time. As you become more confident and don’t react, increase the numbers of sets, the numbers of movements and the times you do them every day. Start low by doing one set of five movements and do them slowly and in a relaxed and easy fashion. If you have chronic (long-term) back pain you may find that the exercises can maintain your movement and use but don’t change your pain much if at all. The exercises are very simple and not targeted at any specific problem. These exercises shown here do not constitute medical advice and, in some cases, exercise can make your pain worse rather than better.

Putting your back through its full range of movement several times every day can help reduce pain, improve range, increase strength and restore some of your normal movement. Keep going until you begin to see changes as it will take some time. The daily practice often refers to meditation, exercise, good eating, and good work methods but regularly doing the exercises is the thing here. Practising relaxation techniques can work well but keeping it up over time is vital so you can apply it in normal day to day life. This can be quite difficult to spot and you may need a physiotherapist to check your movement techniques to see if you are doing this. This tension may amplify our pain mechanisms and give us more pain. So, tensing up and preparing ourselves consciously for doing what we see as a stressful action may be counterproductive. However, research has indicated that people with back pain may have an overactive core rather than an underactive one. Just the word core conjures up ideas of strength and power. We are continually bombarded with messages that we need a strong core. Relaxation has been around for ages, but despite modern pain research, we are finding it more and more useful in helping people manage back pain. Sometimes that goal seems rather far away and doing some exercises for our backs can be useful. The back likes to be moved, it likes to have stress put through it, it likes to do work.ĭoing normal things with our backs and not thinking about it is the holy grail of back pain treatments.
