Exercises for Lower Back Pain Relief
  • Lower back is a sensitive spot for many people.
    While there can be a ton of causes of Lower back
    pain or Lumbar Spine Pain, a weak core and poor
    posture from sitting all day (and consequently
    shortening the hip muscles that then pull on the
    lower back) are two really common contributing
    factors to lower back aches and discomfort. Its
    always important to figure out whats causing
    pain so you can address it and prevent it from
    happening again. But in most situations, doing
    some gentle yoga exercises for lower back pain
    can help relieve tightness and give your lower
    back some relief.
  • Yoga is great for working on flexibility and
    core stability, correcting posture, and
    breathingall of which are necessary for a
    healthy back, says Dr. Sachin Zadbuke of Achinta
    Ayurved who is an expert in providing Ayurvedic
    Treatment for Lower Back Pain
  • If you have any history of lower back injuries,
    problems with your discs, or experience pain that
    lasts more than 72 hours without improving, you
    should see an ayurvedic doctor or your local
    physical therapist before doing any exercises. If
    you have an issue that requires medical
    attention, its best to address it before it
    becomes worse.
  • If your lower back pain is more of a general
    achiness or discomfort, its worth trying some
    yoga exercises for lower back pain to address any
    tightness and alignment issues. Dr. Sachin
    Zadbuke recommends doing the lower back exercises
    mentioned below and holding each pose for
    anywhere from one to three minutes.

3) Child Pose- Balasana
  • Childs Pose helps to stretch the hips, thighs,
    and ankles while reducing stress and fatigue. It
    gently relaxes the muscles on the front of the
    body while softly and passively stretching the
    muscles of the back torso.

    brain, making it a therapeutic posture for
    relieving stress. When performed with the head
    and torso supported, it can also help relieve

    extend in either direction, the more youll feel
    relief.

4) Supine Hamstring Stretch - Supta
Padangusthasana
  • Stretching the hamstring muscles, located at the
    back of your thigh, can improve the ease by which
    you perform daily activities, such as bending
    over to pick up a fallen object or tying your
    shoes.
  • Improving the flexibility of the hamstrings has
    many other benefits including reduced lower back
    pain.
  • Back pain can be a symptom of ailments including
    muscle tightness and strains, fatigue and muscle
    weakness. Stretching the hamstrings helps to
    reduce back pain by lengthening the thigh
    muscles. Longer muscles relieve pressure on the
    lower back and ease aching.

    Padangusthasana
  • Lift your leg and pull on the strap until you
    feel a stretch throughout the back of your leg.
  • Hold and breathe deeply, feeling the breath
    reach all the way into your hips. The more you
    extend in either direction, the more youll feel
    relief.

    coming up off the mat. Stretch both legs twice
    for 30 seconds.
