Do You Want to Eliminate Back Pain?

Hi,

Almost every human being has back pain at one time or another in their lifetime.  If you haven't then consider yourself very lucky. 

Sometimes the pain is so bad that you can't do anything. 

I can remember that pain several times in my life, but the last time was the worst.  I was just reaching down to pick up a ladder and I didn't think I was going to get back up. 

This was two days before Christmas several years ago, and try to find a Chiropractor then.  Well, I finally did find one and that took away the immediate pain.

But, I was still uncomfortable.  I couldn't sit, stand or lie down without extreme discomfort.  It wasn't painful, it was just uncomfortable as h....

Eventually, I had to get back surgery and I swore I was never going to go through that again.  The surgery was successful, but I still have residual damage to my sciatic nerve in my left calf. 

Since that surgery I have looked far and wide for back and hip exercises so that I don't have to worry about surgery ever again.   Why the hips you might be wondering. 

For one, the hips and back are attached.  And all your movement for you lower body comes from your hips and lower back.  If you have a bad back, the odds are you have overcompensated somewhere to protect your back. 

If you are anything like me, you have locked up your hips or at least one side to protect your back. 

I am working on a program that I will be offering in awhile.  In the meantime, I would like to give you an exercise you can do if you do have back pain. 

You might think it is a hip exercise, but it does help your lower back also. 

Here is how it goes.  Stand straight and take a long step forward - sort of like a runner's stance only keeping your upper body standing straight.  Make sure your stance is wide enough so that you don't have to worry about your balance. 

Now, put your hands on your buttocks and push forward into your front leg.  You are not trying to go down like you would if you were doing a lunge.  Rather you are trying to push forward.   Hold the position for 10 seconds and then reverse legs. 

That is all there is too it.  Do this a few times a day.  Try to do it when you get up in the morning and after sitting for any length of time. 

You can see some pictures of how this is down at: Stop back pain exercises

In the meantime I will keep you posted when the back pain ebook or CD is ready.

Thanks,
