Question: What are some good exercises that will strengthen your back and help with back injuries.?
Answers:
For the lower back, lay in your bed on your back, legs straight. Now lift the legs and feet, still straight, up off the mattress, to a height of about 8 inches, higher if you can. Now hold them there until your legs begin to quiver, then let them back down slowly, wait a minute and try it again. And then do this everyday and so on and so on, until the quivering lets up. Just don't over do it for the first couple of days. You also need to stretch those back muscles. This can be accomplished by laying on your back in bed, legs straight. Now start bending the knees as you move your legs forward, far enough for you to grab your knees with your hands. Now pull them as far forward as you can toward the stomach/chest area and hold. Let back down slowly until the legs are straight again. You are stretching the legs muscles all the way up to about the middle of the back. Do this every day. Back injuries are best treated with moist heat. You'll need someone to help you though. You lay on your stomach, have someone take a towel, soak it with hot water, ring it out, then lay it across where your back hurts. Do this several times with the towels until the skin begins to turn slightly red. Then have the person massage your back muscles along both sides of the spine, while applying some Aspercreme. Wishing you the very best young lady and some needed relief from the pain. Good luck.Health Question & Answer
