By Luisa Sharpe


Nowadays most people are complaining about the back pains. This can be attributed to the nature of jobs that are available in the market today. Some people spend their whole day in loading and off loading heavy weights. This generation also has a number of people whom seat working on their computers all day long. During these pains, the physical therapy for lower back pain is what one needs.

Some people experience this pain because they do not know how to protect their rear body part bones and muscles when they are working. For example, it is recommended that when you are lifting heavy loads you squat and then rise with the load as compared to bending at the waist since when you do this you shift the entire load to the back instead of the legs that are stronger.

For the minor pains, you can use pain killers to relieve the aching. However, when the condition persists, it is wise to visit a specialist who will give you a permanent solution to your problem. Do not get so used to the over the counter drugs because your body may stop responding to them soon.

Before seeking the services of the therapist, you should see a doctor who will examine you and see if there is no fracture in your spine. If there is none, then it is right to see a therapist who will stretch your body and relax your painful muscles. This is the best remedy for anyone with a disc dislocation since they will help you to bring it back to the normal place.

Never stretches are also crucial in making lower rear part pain go away. This pain may not be apparent as it may radiate to the lower limbs and the buttocks. Stretching the nerves, and especially the sciatica will help in making this pain go away. They are also recommended after lumbar surgery, so as to ensure that one is not suffering from any scar tissue adhesion in the nerves and muscle tissue.

In the sciatic nerve stretch, one lies on a flat surface and lifts their leg up. They keep stretching it out and drawing it back in for some time and after some time they exchange this leg for the other one. This will be especially helpful for people who have overexerted the lower rear part and also for pregnant women. It may help relieve pains caused by muscle pulls.

There are also other types of stretches such as an angry cat and prayer stretches which are used the golfers and the tennis players. One can also use another method as doing the press up, and anyone can use this at anywhere. All these types of stretches are very effective and will give you maxim comfort and will also relieve any ache that you may be having.

Some of these exercises can be done freely at home and so you do not need to worry about what to do. This is why you will need to be examined by a physical therapist first to know which exercises will work for you and which you should not do. This will prevent you from injuring yourself further.
