Exercises for Back Pain

The imbalances in your core muscles can cause back pain. Core muscles include all the muscles from shoulders to hips. These exercises will help you increase the flexibility of your core muscles and diminish the imbalance between them so that they support your spine better.

Superman

Lie down with your face facing down. Extend your arms before you and raise your shoulders up. Hold this position for abut 30 seconds and then lower yourself. Repeat the exercise for 10 times.

Extending backwards

Stand upright and curl backwards as far as you can until you feel strain. Hold your position for 3 seconds and return to your initial position. Repeat the activity 5 times.

Pulling knee to chest

Lie on your back and pull your one knee towards your chest with your hands. Hold for 30 seconds and bring back it to initial position. Now pull your other knee. Repeat it one by one with both knees for several times.

Body flexion
