Lumbago exercises
Supportive for prevention and pain relief
With these exercises for lumbago, you’ll actively ease the pain yourself.
Lumbago often comes on unexpectedly, bringing severe back pain. Are you barely able to move because of the pain and reliant on help from other people? When the pain is acute, there’s not much you can do. Rest is the order of the day. As soon as you’re relatively free from pain when you move, it’s important to start moving and begin with the lumbago exercises. Stimulating the tense areas can help you heal faster. You’ll prevent tightness and ideally stop lumbago coming back in the future.
Your lumbago exercise program:
- Myofascial self-massage
- Triggering deep stress points
- Mobilization and stretching exercises
- Exercises for activation and strengthening
2-3 times a week
Perform the exercise protocol two to three times a week.
Get well soon!
By doing the following lumbago exercises, you can fight the potential causes of this excessive tightness and make sure it doesn’t come back, keeping you free from back pain in the long term.
Myofascial self-massagefor lumbago
Using even pressure with self-massage techniques helps bring more nourishment to the surrounding fascia. The aim is to reduce muscle tension, restoring balance in the lumbar spine and hips and thereby alleviating pain.
Massage for lumbago: relaxes your hip flexor
Lie down on your stomach. Your arms should be positioned in front of your body with your palms facing down; rest your head loosely on the backs of your hands. Place BALL 12 above your groin, between the top of your hip bone and your straight abdominal muscles.
Massage for lumbago: relaxes your glutes
Place the BALL 12 on the floor and sit one side of your buttocks (glutes) on it. Lay the leg from the side you’re working on down onto the thigh of your other leg.
Releasing deep muscle tension associated with lumbago
After your myofascial self-massage, use the BLACKROLL® TRIGGER BOX to activate your deep fascial adhesions. The targeted pressure helps release tension deep in your lumbar spine region.
Lumbago trigger exercise: releases a tense lumbar spine
Start by lying down on your back, positioning the TRIGGER against the painful spot on your lumbar spine. Stretch out your legs. Important to know: place the TRIGGER on your muscles, not on the bones of your lumbar spine.
Mobilization and stretching exercises for lumbago
Myofascial techniques can help you reduce muscle tension. To lengthen your fascia tissue, you should stretch the affected structures.
Lumbago exercise: eases pressure on your spine
Start on all fours. Lower your upper body forward until your forehead touches the floor. Push your buttocks back and sit it down onto your heels.
