EXERCISES FOR BACK RELIEF
Many people believe that rest is best for a painful back, but actually, what
your back really needs when it’s hurt is exercise. Regular exercise relieves
back pain by strengthening and stretching the muscles that support the spine
and helps to prevent future injury. This is a use it or lose it situation: the
more you rest, the weaker your back gets, even if it is hurt. Studies have actually
shown that you can heal your back pain faster and get back to your regular activities
with just two days of rest. |

like neurological problems, immune system dysfunction, anxiety,
and depression, and I thought, "Anyone can treat pain.

elbow acting up". This frustrates me because these people
are misled and are often suffering unnecessarily. |
