Back Strengthening Exercises

I've been struggling with back issues ever since we moved in Feb. I got too much into being able to lift heavy things (She-Ra!!) and tweaked my back.

I had some back strengthening exercises from last summer when I did PT, but I can't find any of the papers.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a book or website that has some illustrations for back strengthening exercises.

Thanks,

Nancy

I love yoga, and have noticed a marked improvment in my back scince I started. I did a quick and dirty search for you and founf this page:

and

I do the second sequence daily when I get up in the morning to loosen and streach.

oh, you can use a rolled up towel instead of a "yoga block" and you can use a belt or something else instead of a "Yoga Strap"

oh also, do these on the floor... resist the urge to do in bed... not good for back... i learned from experince!

Pain Free, by Pete Egoscue.

The exercises are not strenuous, are mostly holding a position for a number of minutes. They realign the structure, relaxing tense muscles. There are maintenance exercises to keep good muscle tone.

I have a pinched nerve in my lower back and was about to have surgery the pain was so bad. A massage therapist recommended this book to me and I immediately went to the library and checked it out. The first time I tried the exercises for the lower back the pain subsided right away. That was several years ago. I've not even thought about surgery again. (The exercises did not cure the pinched nerve from a swollen disk, but did relieve a lot of the pressure - I still have to be careful not to lift heavy objects, but I can live with the restrictions as long as I'm no longer in pain.)

I have eliminated problems with carpal tunnel, tight shoulder muscles, poor gait and many other things that I used to go to a chiropractor for (notice the words "used to").

I strongly recommend the book and you can probably find it in your library. I have a friend who had a severe case of "tennis elbow" whose arm was in a splint and who could hardly bring a spoon to her mouth to eat. She tried the exercises recommended in the book for her problem and within a day or two was out of the splint and a week later the pain was gone (this was after months of following the doctor's recommendations which didn't really help at all.)

A pilates workout will do wonders for your back. It's all about building your core strength and flexibility, which is important for proper alignment and supporting your whole skeletal system.

Given that you did specific PT for your back, I would recommend calling the PT place up, and asking if they can send you another copy of the exercises. They'll have a copy in your file, and there shouldn't be a problem sending you one. (There might be a small fee for photocopies, but that'd be about it.)

I second this one! The foot exercises in there were what finally fixed my plantar fasciitis.

I actually just ordered this. My husband has foot problems, so I was thinking it would be good for both of us. It's good to hear that it helped.

Nancy- if your back is bothering you and you have had a back injury in the past, I would recommend working with someone who can watch your movements. You can incorporate at home practice as well, but I would advise doing pilates, yoga, PT... something where an experienced person can watch, and correct, your movements.

Pilates is EXCELLENT for strengthening the back and other synergistic muscles. Check out my profile for more!

Hopefully you are pain free soon!

Whoops... meant to reply this way, but I copy and pasted instead! Let's try this one more time!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
