Do you suffer from Back Pain? Would you like to move around free and easily, being able to do sport or just play with your children… without the fear of your lower back pain getting worse?

Well, you are in good company. Over 80% of adults experience back pain at some stage. Most leave it for months or years before they do anything about it. Yet there are some simple steps to follow that can eliminate your back pain – completely and permanently.

Back Pain Relief Tip 1: Muscle Stretches Yes I know you know about stretches. There are countless ones about and all say they are the miracle cure to your lower back pain… only if you do them this way or that.

But there are no miracle stretches. Sure there are better ways to stretch, but the most important aspect is not how to stretch. The most important aspect of stretching is stretching the right muscles at the right time. There are certain muscles that cause lower back pain. Stretch these and back pain will ease, stretch them at the right time and you will not only remove back pain you will improve your flexibility in half the time or quicker.

Back Pain Relief Tip 2: Muscle Strength So which gym am I promoting or which type of exercise is best. In fact – if you don’t improve the nerve supply or the blood supply to your muscles, no exercise will create the benefits you need. If a muscle has its’ nerve or blood supply compromised, then no matter which exercise you do, the muscle will not gain strength.

Without muscle strength, you fail to have your joints supported. Also if one muscle is too weak it can allow another to tighten. So you need to know the best stretches and strengthening techniques or your muscular system will not heal 100%.

Back Pain Relief Tip 3: Joint Mobility Your joints need to move freely and easily. If the joint gets “sticky” then the muscles around it will tire out or tighten up. If a joint moves well the muscles are able to function correctly and stay in their ideal state of tension.

But… surely moving joints is in the domain of Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physio’s. Actually there are many techniques that you can use at home to get your joints moving freely and easily. Add in the muscle techniques and the major causes of back pain are eliminated, simply and easily.

Back Pain Relief Tip 4: Inflammation Inflammation can be removed through medication, supplements, Homeopathics and other natural products. You can also use Acupressure or Acupuncture (although Acupuncture is hard to use at home – who wants to stick needles in themselves anyway) which are both highly effective at removing inflammation.

If your joints are tender to touch, if your muscles are sensitive also, then inflammation is likely there. Removing it helps the area heal faster. Left there too long and the area will stiffen and become slower to heal, and even scar tissue can form as a protection.

Back Pain Relief Tip 5: Posture Is you posture correct, do you stand up straight? Well don’t be alarmed, neither of these is important. Posture is a function of back pain, energy levels and general health. If you are suffering back pain, then your posture changes to accommodate it. If you are tired then you will slouch and have a less ideal posture. Posture is important to help the long term removal of back pain and the next step is vital in all postural issues.

Back Pain Relief Tip 6: Rest Rest means rest. Yes you should relax and rest, stop using your spine each day for at least an hour. Take time here and there to lie down and stop fighting gravity. Gravity is the biggest cause of stress on your spine and muscles.

Lying down is the only way you can rest against gravity. If you lie down a few times a day then your muscles will not tire as easily, joints will have less pressure on them, your disc in your spine will not be squeezed as often and your energy levels in general will be better.

All you need to do is every few hours, take a 5-10 minute break and lie on the floor. When you get home and watch TV, lie on the floor or sofa to rest while you watch the TV. All these help to ease tension off your spine and will also benefit your posture – as if you are less tired, if your muscles have more energy – your posture will improve.

Back Pain Relief Tip 7: Seek Help If in doubt seek help, if lower back pain persists see your doctor. Back pain will usually ease itself within a few weeks. If you use the steps above then you can shorten this time considerably. However if back pain persists… seek help.

If you use these 7 tips to ease your back pain, you will find pain disappears quickly and easily. If you fail to complete any of these steps, or worse if your practitioner does, then back pain will return at some stage.
