Yoga heal my backache

Most of people are suffering from backache. Other then injury, the main key is: weak muscle, not strong enough to support our daily activities. We can't stand too long, can't walk too long, can't sit too long.

However I am lucky enough to have yoga to help me to strengthen my back muscles/and core muscle. (for people that have slip disc, please seek for medical advise).

Yoga is not only the matter of flexibility, but also strength, the strength is not built in one day, patient needed.

Some poses that help me to built the strength of the back muscle:

1. Half Bridge


2. Cobra


3. Camel


4. Locust


You will notice most of the poses that help to strengthen the back muscles involve back bend. And most of the people that have back pain can't do much back bend, so just start slowly, we know our body better, and we know our limit. Yoga is helping us to understand our body.

Also not to forget to have some counter pose, to release the stress of the muscle after doing back bend.

1. The most direct one: forward bend


2. Some twisting also help in releasing the muschle tension:


3. Another twisting


4. And lastly, my favorite: Child pose


All the best, happy trying.

Namaste.
