Is Your Job The Cause Of Your Back Pain? by Jevaughn Brown
Do you endure back pain day after day? Did you once suffer from one kind of back pain or another? Would you be surprised to learn that the back pain probably wasn't a problem in your back itself?
The reality is that modern life causes us to perpetually fold our bodies into biologically abnormal positions and stay there for long periods at a time. I'm referring in this instance to the position you're in when you're stuck working at your desk for 8, 9, 10 hours per day; when driving or being driven to work; or relaxing to some favorite TV show; etc - You're sitting. The human body isn't supposed to be in the sitting position for long. Just watch any documentary on the National Geographic Channel or Discovery Channel on still-"primitive" tribal peoples: You'll see that they almost never sit in one place anywhere near as long as we do in the modern world.
Personally, I consider myself a modern man; I'm not that old-school. So while I love exercising, outside that, when I'm doing my job, or driving, or out with friends, or enjoying entertainment: I'm normally sitting. Truth is, I basically spend the majority of most days more or less parked on my derriere. And I'm willing to bet that's true even for you too. The trap is even if we're aware of this issue and try to do better in our personal time, many of us still can't get away from the long hours of chair-riding at our job.
What's the end result? Our bodies become misaligned... especially the hips. After a prolonged time like this, your hips start to pull excessively on the tendons and ligaments that connect it to your back. This constant pulling is the most common cause of the back pain most people suffer from at some time in their life.
If you went to your average doctor, you would probably be instructed to do certain stretches to "fix" your back.
But there's a problem with this "solution"...
Most of these stretches are designed to loosen your joints. And the key factor most doctors unfortunately don't know is that you don't want loose joints. Because tight joints mean stable, strong joints that help prevent injury in the first place.
Unlike such well-intentioned but misguided exercises, the following stretch you're about to get the instructions for works to keep your joints nice and tight to resist injury. It helps to reduce excessive muscle tightness and realigns your hips to relieve stress on your back. Do this great, easy stretch regularly and you'll almost certainly feel your back pain fade dramatically, and stop it from coming back...
The Hip Flexor Stretch: This stretch is a necessity if your job requires you to be seated throughout the day. Sitting for prolonged periods pressures your hip flexor muscles, creating a muscle imbalance that leads to a large proportion of back pain cases. This suffering is needless - Stretching those hip flexor muscles properly multiple times a week will eliminate this type of back pain.
How To: Stand in a modified runner's stance, with right foot forward and left foot back, leg straight, forward foot flat on floor. Put your hands on your hips and keep your back and hips in straight alignment. Push forward with your hips, while maintaining your erect posture. Slowly, push your hips forward only until you feel a comfortable level of tension. Hold for a count of 10. Switch sides by reversing your leg stance and repeat. Continue alternating as you do multiple reps.
Give this a try. It works like a charm for me. If you're already following an exercise program that's even better; you can fit these into your warm-up session, for example. Start off every other day and go from there as results and feedback from your body direct you. Remember, consistency is vital - It'll work if you work it.
