Posture Information | Exercise For Back Pain

Are you exercising your way into back pain? Do you regularly exercise but still experience the symptoms that you wish would just go away already? Maybe it's time for you to take steps to do exercise for back pain.

That is, choosing exercises that will help you get rid of your back pain altogether, once and for all. For many back conditions, exercise can be just the thing to not just help to alleviate your symptoms, but to keep the pain from coming back.

(I must tell you to consult with your healthcare professional before starting any exercise program.) If the source of back pain ultimately is coming from the spine, much of the cause is associated with the discs and the nerves in that area. If you spinal joints have to bear the brunt of all of your activities, they can and will eventually wear down.

If you build up muscles to support your spine, then exercise for back pain will help you get the results you're after. So, the big question; which exercise shuould I be doing? Is it just about losing weight?

Let's start with losing weight. In my experience being overweight tends to exaggerate back problems more than causing it all by itself. Patients of all ages and of all shapes and sizes have come through my door, many complaining of the same types of symptoms and most without a "traumatic event" that they know is responsible for their problem. So, while exercising will help with any weight issue, it won't necessarily be the weight loss that leads to the improvement in symptoms.

Determining the right back exercise for you will depend on your current status. Most importantly, you want to make things as balanced and even as possible. If you have strong abs and are dealing with back pain, than your right exercise for back pain will be to stop doing abs for a bit and improve the strength of your back postural muscles.

If you haven't developed any supporting muscles, than your exercise program should include equal part of abdominal exercises (lower, upper, and your obliques -- the side muscles) and back exercises. Your goal will be to create your own muscular back support to take the pressure off of your spine and discs, alleviating your back pain and improving your posture.

"Everything You Need To Change Your Posture For Good."

"Got Great Results In Just 2 Weeks!"

Having great success using the lower back exercises from Dr. Cordova's Posture Confidence DVD, I didn't hesitate to try her exercises for the neck.

I wasn't disappointed! After 2 weeks, my neck and shoulders began to feel and look better. I also found the ebook very informative and easy to read. It's a good reference to have!

Thank you!

Pain Relief From Neck And Back Problems "With Little Effort"!

"Dr. Cordova, I have just read your book and find it to be very 'eye opening'.

My job typically has long hours and requires international air travel. Both require that I sit in the same position for long periods of time. Without even knowing what happened, I found that my shoulders were rounding, my neck would ache, my head would ache, and my back felt like it was “going out”. On the airplane, I struggle for comfort and work myself into remarkable positions.

After reading your book, I find that -- with very little effort -- I can perform your recommended exercises and relieve this pain. I thought that the pain resulting from these activities was something I had to live with. Your book has taught me that this is not true.

Thank you very much for revealing this wisdom. I feel better already."
