How can flexibility training reduce the risk of back pain?
Answers
Explanation:
A stretching and strengthening regimen should target the back, abdominal, and buttock muscles. Strong abdominal or flexor muscles help maintain an upright posture, as do strong extensor muscles, which run the full length of the back. Strengthening the buttock muscles, which help support the back during walking, standing, and sitting, and the two iliopsoas muscles, which run from the lower spine to the hips, is good for the back. The muscles of the upper legs also need to be strong and flexible because, when they are weak and tight, they can strain the supporting structures of the back.
Stretching is a valuable component of a treatment plan for anyone plagued by back problems. Supple, well-stretched muscles are less prone to injury, while less flexible muscles and connective tissues restrict joint mobility, which increases the likelihood of sprains and strains.
Stretch regularly but gently, without bouncing, as that can cause tissue injury. If you aren't used to stretching, start by holding a stretch for a short time and gradually build up to roughly 30-second stretches over time.
