Bad posture, stress and repetitive movement are causing tension to build up in your muscles. Most people complain about tension in the upper back, shoulders and the space between shoulder blades; this is very common, and also easy to reduce with the correct exercises. I don’t mean forcing you to go to the gym and stretch for an hour because all it takes is 4 minutes!
You can do it by your desk at any time! Lower back tension or tension around the hips can be reduced with different sets of very simple exercises. More about which exercises you should do later. [/text_block]
Correcting your posture throughout the day will help you maintain healthy, strong back muscles. Pay attention to what your body is telling you. Does one side hurt more than the other? Maybe your upper back is fine, but your lower back hurts every day.
All this information is very important. Once you identify and analyse your symptoms, you’ll be able to create the best strategy to overcome your back problems.[/text_block]
I know many people have seen their GP and returned home with paracetamol, or at the bottom of a long waiting list to see an NHS physio. However, the next time you go to see your GP, ask him/her for an assessment and advice on which treatment is the best option for you. Then, go private and avoid waiting in pain for your appointment with the NHS physio.
There are some very good local therapists, and you can be free of pain very quickly if you follow these 3 steps.[/text_block]
