Hi ,

HealthyComputing - The Premier Source For Computer and Office Ergonomics may help you to correct postures.

 

Streching excercises for the back, neck and shoulders will help.

1. Have your husband lie down on the floor on his tummy. Arms should be at the side. Then raise left arm and right leg up in the air and bring down. Repeat with right arm and left leg. Do this 10 times.

2. The snake posture from yoga. Lieing on tummy lift upper torso suppoted by hands. Hold 1 minute. Repeat 5 times.

3. Lie on back. Bring knees up to tummy and wrap arms around knees. Then roll back and forth as if your lower back was a fulcrum. Like a see-saw.

Hi Lakshmi,

I just saw your post.. I am going thro' a severe pain in the back both lower and upper.. I have been managing with this for the past 3 months and now it has become unbearable..so I went to doctor, who checked my back and suggested me physical therapy immediately.

I went to Physical Therapist for evaluation to check if anything is broken or any major issues.. but none. All I was suggested is PT for 4 weeks , 2 seesions per week.

Now, to confirm some of the things other ladies have mentioned, yoga does help, provided you do it the right way. I have been doing yoga for the last 3 years.. I was also told that its due to muscular stiffness and the PT is the best to get rid of the stiff back and then based on the Physical therapist's suggestion, you can learn all the right postures to avoid the same pain in future. The most important one being contract the stomach muscles all the time to have a healthy back.

I do work in IT and I do a 3 mile walk everyday along with yoga and some pilate', but nothing helps to get rid of the pain.

I am told to take tylenol if pain is unbearable along with PT.

Thats how I am managing nowadays.

Also, one interesting news about back pain is that if you have low level of B12 in your blood, that causes muscular spasm.. so do some blood work and check it out for yourself.

Come to think of it, my mom, grandma every one in the family struggled with back pain but managed with amrutanjan rub and occasional intake of ibuprofin tablets..no one has gone thro' sophistacated treatments like me. Also, in my case, it is the menopausal harmone that causes this back pain more than anythingelse.
