Banish back pain

Is your current posture really the ideal one for supporting your back muscles that carry you through so many different life situations, or can it be you have neglected the proper posture for an easier, more comfortable position and then blaming a lumpy mattress, poor quality chair or even your shoes for the problem.

If you answer yes to any of the doubts above, you do have a good chance of doing away with them altogether and actually banishing back pain woes to the past with understanding what good posture and back alignment is all about.

It is important to keep your head neutral, ensure your chin is neither jutting up nor pointing down (chin pointed straight ahead is best) and your shoulders are down with abs tight (but not sucked in) for the ideal seated posture.

For a standing posture, the same rules apply with care taken that your shoulders don’t slouch and are positioned away from the ears, with your thumbs pointing forward or sticking out naturally to the side.

Also, pay close attention to the direction in which your rear is pointing as an anterior pelvic tilt may cause your lower back to arch out more and give the impression of sagging abs. Keeping these pointers in mind will help reduce instances of back pain considerably, which sometimes also leads to neck and shoulder pain.

Consult with your family doctor for the suitability of doing back strengthening exercises and work to improve your abdominal strength besides following the above given good posture tips to banish back pain forever.

Some of the most effective back strengthening exercises include working on isolating the T.A. muscle groups (transverse abdominus) that serve as a girdle for the internal organs and support your back, doing the pelvic tilt (also called cat-cow posture) which requires you to loosen hips, get down on hands and knees, lifting head while making back concave for the cow pose; then arching the back, tightening abs and tucking hips underneath for cat posture.
