So often your lower back starts to ache whenever you are just about to start doing something you enjoy. Don't let your body dictate what you can or cannot do in life - there is a simple way for you to conquer your lower back pain and regain the active lifestyle you so very deserve!
The problem with most of us is we are not really well-learned about what causes the pain in our back. We only rely on our doctors to tell us to simply swallow a few painkillers or anti-inflammatory pills to temporarily ease the pain.
But that is just what they do - to temporarily patch the actual problem within which is causing your lower back pain.
In most cases, the real reason why your back hurts is because one or two sets of your muscles are not working in a balanced manner. Let me explain to you more about this...
See, in our body, our muscles work in pairs. For example in our arms, we have both the biceps and the triceps. Both of these muscles have to work in a balanced way in order for your arms to operate efficiently.
What about your back then?
Let's go a little lower and look at your thighs. You have both your upper thigh muscle and the lower thigh muscle which is SUPPOSED to be even in strength. But when they are not, that is where your back is affected... and you start feeling all irritated in the lower back!
Because when your upper thigh is far much stiffer than your lower thigh muscle, it tends to pull your pelvis and tilt it forward unlike normal condition. This affects your lower spine and causes excessive curvature on it, resulting in the pain which you so often feel whenever you "slip up" in your movements.
So how do you correct this?
Exercise!
After doing an assessment of your body to identify which muscles in your body are imbalanced, you can simply target that area with the right set of stretching exercises to "even out" the strength in the 2 culprit muscles.
Best of all, you don't need any specialized trainer or medical professional to help you with these.
By learning the right techniques, you can easily perform a self-assessment and the correction exercises from home, and end up not having to worry about that pain in your lower back, any more!
