10 essential exercises to avoid back pain

 




4. Knee-to-chest stretching

Did you Know that exercise can be something more than something that makes you sweat and feel bad? When it comes to relieving back pain, you can rely on activities like knee-to-chest stretching to help you.

This exercise involves lying on your back (therefore it is not difficult), with knees bent and feet resting on the ground. Take a knee to your chest with your back pressed against the ground, then hold that position. Repeat with the other leg.

5. Bridges

Bridges help develop a variety of muscles that benefit more than just your back. It’s Also an exercise that can be fun while you build muscles that you thought were no longer serving you!

Lie on the floor with your knees bent and your heels resting on the floor, pushing the floor with your palms backwards. Squeeze your buttocks, lifting your hips up until, along with your knees, shoulders and hips, you have a «bridge» shape. Keep the pose for about five seconds before resting and repeating.
