Back pain is one of the most common problems people have. There are all kinds of causes. Sometimes it's an old sports injury. It is also due to a sedentary lifestyle, such as sitting at a desk for long periods of the day. A few minutes a day doing Yoga poses that strengthen your back muscles can improve back pain. Whether the origins are some acute injury or long-term stress, there are a few simple poses that can help (for acute injuries in particular, it's good to check with your doctor for more detailed instruction). Throughout all your yoga breathe deeply, and match your moving with your breathing. When handling injuries, this is especially important. The muscles around an injury, and even radiating throughout your body, will tighten to defend and compensate. This may protect against further injury, but can prolong or even prevent complete healing. It takes time and patience to let these muscles release. In the case of back pain, giving time for your muscles to release can allow your vertebrae and discs to align properly, and healing to proceed more easily. If something hurts, back off. Just breathe, move slowly, and pay attention.Use the poses listed below everyday to reduce back pain.
