Quick fixes for a sore back

10/11/2014

0 Comments

 
If you sit a lot, get a sore back, do a lot of typing, have a sore neck or knees then this article will give you some simple tips to alleviate it.

Sometimes an muscle strain is just waiting to happen!  For example I do a lot of massage which leaves me with some muscles built up and others weak in my back through the constant leaning forward motion.  Last year I went for a bike ride and rode a bike which was a bit too big for me.   I was leaning forward more than I was used to and the muscles were straining.   I did have a bath that night to relax them, and in the morning they felt okay.... UNTIL I went make my bed!   I stretched forward and suddenly the tight muscles went "ping" and I had a muscle strain.  Think of it like a rubber band.. it gets tight with our posture and daily use of the muscle - we get used to this and don't notice the pain/tension.   Then we do something different and it gets tighter still and then one day we just stretch it too far and the rubber band/muscle gives out "ping".      So one thing to be aware of with back injuries is that they can be an indication of something that has been developing for a very long time.   For proper healing to take place we need to look at the whole body structure.

So a stitch in time saves nine.   You can do a lot to prevent muscle pain..


1.  If you feel yourself tightening up have a massage
2.  Gently stretch your muscles

3.  Put a hot water bottle/wheatbag on a tight area
4.  Exercise
5.  Check your work station to ensure you are sitting correctly
6.  Take regular breaks
7.  Keep on top of stress - it tightens up your muscles
