As most of us are now having to stay indoors and our activity levels have dropped. I’m not just talking in terms of our physical training. Our daily lives are now so different in comparison to a month ago. You are likely to have increased time sitting in front of the tv or computer. Also the type of training some of us are doing has now changed, possibly more intense body weight activities.
So what's happening? These causative factors could be making some mechanical changes to our body. For example, we could be getting some overactive muscles or some shift in alignment of our pelvis. At this time, it will be difficult to diagnose without an assessment. However, tomorrow I shall be posting some stretches and exercises to help release lower back tension and hopefully get you feeling better:)
Exercise and stretches for lower back discomfort:
Knee rolls mobility
Do this exercise first. Lie down, shoulders, head to the floor, bend legs then rotate both knees together to the left then right, repeat this for 15 repetitions.
Stretches
Progressive stretches, hold stretch at point of tension (should feel comfortable you shouldn’t be shaking) hold for 10 seconds, back off take a deep breath and take the stretch further while breathing out, once new point is reached hold for 10 seconds, do this 2 more times, on the last stretch hold for 30 seconds.
If you have any questions please drop me a message.
