Keeping your muscles toned and exercised is the key to good body mechanics. Doing too much activity, or doing too little, are both harmful to your back. If you exceed your limits, injury can result. On the other hand, a person who is out of shape will be unable to maintain good posture. This may result in undue stress to the spine.
Emotional stress can make a back problem worse, contributing to muscle strains and muscle spasms.
Learn how to use your back smartly and it will last you a lifetime. If your back pain is not relieved, or continues after using exercises, or if it gets worse, see your healthcare provider. All Rights Reserved.
