Lower Back Stretches - Can They Really Help?

Do You Know How, What or When to Stretch?

Lower Back Stretches are the most common method used to remove lower back pain - fact! Yet they are the most miss used technique, which is why so many people just like you are looking for help.

Are you looking for the ideal stretches, the best ways to remove your lower back pain? Well this is what we are here for. On this page you will find the best stretches to use. You will also discover the ideal techniques, the perfect time to stretch and the essential ingredient of what to stretch... after all you want to remove your lower back pain - permanently!

Back stretches should be only a part of your regimen to remove lower back pain or back pain in general. If you use stretches only – pain will not disappear permanently.

Your lower back pain may ease and seem to recover, but it will return at some stage. You may be asking what you need to do then for a permanent cure.

The answer lies in the actual causes of lower back pain . Pain occurs for three main reasons – muscle imbalance, joint disruption and inflammation.

Lower Back stretches only cover part of the cause; they only cover part of the muscle imbalance. Muscles can be tight; others can also be weak – this creates the muscle and joint imbalance. You need to use lower back exercises in conjunction with your lower back stretches to address the imbalance.

How Can You Do Lower Back Stretches in Less Than a Minute...

and still gain all the benefits

Is it possible to stretch for less than a minute and still gain all the benefits of stretching? Do you really have to spend half an hour stretching to see changes in your flexibility or lower back pain levels?

Actually knowing what to stretch is easy. Knowing how to stretch is important… and understanding when to stretch is essential.

You will have heard of numerous ‘miracle’ lower back stretches, but don’t buy into this. Muscles work along definite lines and it is these lines of action you need to stretch. Below you find some simple and highly effective ways of stretching the muscles that are the common cause of lower back pain.

Muscle flexibility is the key to removing back pain. To improve muscle flexibility the timing of your stretch is essential. Just as important is how to stretch. You need to relax and lengthen the muscle as quick as possible (the normal stretch for 30 seconds or more will just not achieve this). There are certain stretches that quickly relax the muscle, help to lengthen the fibers and combined with perfect timing, this will save you months of stretching time.

The perfect stretch routine combines the best muscles to stretch, the most effective ways how to stretch and the ideal time to stretch.

The muscles that support the lower back need to be targeted. These include:

• Lower back muscles (Erector Spinae) – these muscles support the lower back.

  
  

• The Hip Flexors – if these are tight the low back curve increases, the most common cause of lower back pain.

  
  

• The Piriformis and Gluteus medius - these muscles are common in sciatica and also lower back pain.

  
  

• The Calf muscle - is involved with lower back pain, due to the muscle creating postural change.
