Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi, Tony; With 30 years of low back pain, I think I can something to the discussion. For pain, while my back was in spasm, I just used moist heat, with a hydroculator, but I bet an fir sauna would help a lot, too. As soon as I began to get some mobility, I began twisting (sitting in an armchair, and slowly pulling with your arms around the back) and stretching the hamstring (trying to touch my toes). These 2 movements, and an exercise called dead bugs, that I found about 10 years ago, will prevent further injury if I do them regularly. The dead bug: lie on your back, pressing your spine to the mat, lift your left arm (above your head) and leg (bent at the knee) at the same time, then alternate with the right side. Repeat as many times as comfortable in 3 sets. This really strengthens the abs with NO strain on the low back. Good luck, Ted oleander soup , " Tony " wrote: > > > Since pain has been quite a steady companion during my back ordeal, I > have done a bit of looking at natural alternatives.
