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!

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
