Very little is known on what triggers lower back pains. But that does not stop eighty percent of adults from suffering it at some point of their lives. Are we missing something really obvious here?
Have you ever gotten a medical examination for your lower back pain only to find that they are unable to find any specific cause? The doctor might then tell you that it’s “all in your mind” or you could be suspected of faking a pain to get some time off work. Thing is, if their examination cannot find a probable cause, then supposedly nothing is wrong with you. Now this alone isn’t going to help your pain is it?
Medical science does not yet recognize what could be a major cause of back pain. And this factor, in my opinion, is the lost art of ‘Natural Movement’. Most adults have lost this due to the stress and pressures of living in a modern society.
How often do we find ourselves behind a desk, behind the wheel of a car or stuck in our sofas in front of the TV? What does this do to our backs? Those of us who are more active would find that we’re not able to move as freely and efficiently than we did back when we were young.
Were you ever prescribed exercise to treat your back? While it is true that getting up and working your bum is better than resting at home, how do you know if you are working out the right way? If you have a posture problem and the way you move is what’s causing your lower back pain, isn’t exercising going to make things worst?
Before you decide to pickup a new activity, or even start a new exercise program, consider first to look at your most basic of movements – the way you walk, run, sit or even stand. Learn to be aware of the unnecessary stress you could be placing on your back just as how most of us do. This will help you to start treating or preventing pain at the root of the problem.
A way to reduce the stress and strains unknowingly places on your body is via muscle re-education. This is simply learning to use your body as nature intended and it will drastically reduce your lower back pain. I am a teacher of movement and posture re-education. I’ve seen countless after countless of people see how much unnecessary effort they have been using for the easiest of task everyday once they are shown a few simple ‘tricks’. Most claim after removing these unnecessary stress, they feel significant reduction of pain at the same time a sense of new found freedom in their movements.
