Back pain is something that anyone at any age can experience. There are multiple causes for this type of pain, such as a herniated disk from playing sports, a car accident, or simply from aging. No matter what’s causing the pain, it can impact your everyday life and make it uncomfortable to get through the day.
There are many ways to help alleviate your pain, depending on the type of treatment that is best for you. Along with some simple stretches, there are also natural treatment options that can help you get out of pain.
Knee to Chest Stretch
Start with lying on the ground with legs outstretched. Bend the right knee and slowly pull your leg toward your chest. Hold your knee to your chest for 10-30 seconds and slowly release your right leg back onto the ground. Follow this same movement with the left leg.
Lying Knee Twist
Lie on your back with legs extended out. Bend your left knee up and cross it over to the right side of the body. Hold this position for 10-30 seconds and repeat this with the opposite side with the right knee twisting to the left side.
Prone Press
Lie on your stomach with elbows bent underneath you and palms pressed flat to the ground. Lift the upper part of the body off the surface with your arms, all while keeping the back muscles relaxed and the lower part of the body flat on the ground. Do a few repetitions of this.
