Do you know that four out of five adults have at least one bout of back pain sometime during life?
There are many things that might cause back pain. It most often occurs from tense back muscles and ligaments, from improper or heavy lifting, or after a sudden awkward movement.
It can be prevented by building your muscle strength and flexibility. Also watch your move and be smart while lifting heavy stuff.
But, what if you’ve got it? Is there anything you can do?
Other than some prescribed medications from your doctor, why don’t you try yoga? Yes, yoga.
Yoga can help ease lower back pain by gently stretching and strengthening the muscles of the lower back and legs.
Check out these poses of yoga that can help you get rid of back pain:
• Bow or Dhanurasana
This pose is effective in straightening upper spine hunches. Yet, this pose is meant only for those having light back pain and it is better for anyone with a history of chronic back pain or acute back pain to avoid it.
• Cobra Bhujangasana
This pose is a healing posture for the low back but this posture may have a negative effect if done incorrectly or too deep. This posture decreases stiffness in the lower back, enlarges the chest, and strengthens the arms and shoulders.
• Corpse or Savasana
The Corpse Yoga Pose is considered as classic relaxation yoga pose. It helps lower of your respiration and heart beat. It will also reduce your body's energy loss, remove your stress and rest your whole system.
• Plough Halasana
If practiced slowly and smoothly, the entire spine becomes flexible and the spinal nerves, muscles and ligaments are toned up and fed with extra supply of arterial blood..
Those are only some of the poses that can help you get rid of back pain. Take a yoga class to know more poses. However, it is best to check out with your doctor as well before trying any yoga poses and consult with your yoga trainer.
