8-Minute Home Exercise Routine For Back Pain – FOLLOW ALONG!

lifestyle No Comments »

Physical therapy stretching and strengthening routine you can do at home for your lower back pain. Quick, 8-minute routine stretches tight muscles in the hips and strengthens key core muscles to help your back to feel better fast. Keep reading for more!

Lower back pain is easily the most-common complaint that I treat in my physical therapy clinic. In fact it’s estimated that 4 out of 5 of us will experience some major episode of low back pain in our lives. Luckily there’s a lot that the right stretches and exercises can do to eliminate this pain and help you to feel better.

The key to helping your back lies in one very important principle – your hips need to be very mobile and your back needs to be very stable.

You see – your hips are designed to be very mobile. In fact they’re the 2nd-most-mobile joint in the body. Your spine, on the other hand, is designed to be very stable with relatively little motion available.

However if your hips aren’t mobile enough they start to call on your lower back for more motion during movement. If your core isn’t strong enough (i.e. your lower back isn’t stable enough) you’ll start to experience pain in your lower back.

So for most people the recommended treatment is to spend some time stretching your hips and strengthening the muscles that stabilize your core.

That’s exactly what you’re going to get in this video!

In fact, these are the same home exercises I give to my patients on a daily basis. I know they’re incredibly effective and I hope they help you out, as well.

PLEASE NOTE – if you happen to try any of these and if they cause increased pain in your lower back I would advise you to stop that activity immediately. For best results you’re encouraged to go consult with a local medical professional for individualized care unique to your situation.

This routine consists of 8 of my favorite exercises for your lower back. We’ll run through each exercise for approximately 40-60 seconds for a total of 8 minutes. I’ll lead you through the whole things so you can ensure your form is correct so please feel free to follow along!

For best results I recommend you actually run through this routine twice. Now I know that takes a little longer, but the results that will come to your lower back will certainly be well worth it.

Nutrition for Inflammation and Arthritis

Joint pain and stiffness are common complaints doctors hear from patients. Personal health advocate Carrie Bloemers says, arthritis is a common problem that can lead to joint swelling and pain. “It’s really uncomfortable and it’s something that people experience and live with daily.”

There are natural things patients can do to minimize the pain without taking medication. “The foods we eat can increase the inflammation levels in our body so therefore, if we are able to follow an anti-inflammatory diet with antioxidants we can help control some of the symptoms of arthritis and inflammation,” said Bloemers.

Antioxidants lower levels of inflammation throughout the body. “The goal is to minimize the overall symptoms so the aches and the pains from arthritis so they may have a lower dependency on some of the medications they are taking,” said Bloemers.

Foods high in antioxidants like blueberries, grapes, and greens, can help with joint inflammation. But processed foods and foods in high fat and sugar can keep your joints inflamed. “Not only do we need our blues and our purples, we need red, yellow, orange, and green nutrients so plant based materials every day too,” said Bloemers.

A regular healthy diet can help with day to day pain and swelling. “Eating blueberries one time isn’t going to make your knee feel better. It’s your habits of including a healthy diet high in antioxidants, low in inflammatory foods, like high fatty processed meats or high sugar foods that over time are going to help lower the inflammation in your body,” said Bloemers.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, health experts also recommend patients maintain an active lifestyle to prevent joint stiffness.
