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!

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
