5 Exercises To Treat Lower Back Pain

The lower back is one of the most sensitive parts of our body which directly gets affected by a sedentary lifestyle (9-5 desk work) and by both mental and physical stress and tension. Here are 5 very simple exercises to not only tackle lower back pain but also prevent any similar issues in the future.

* Sphinx Pose

- Lie down on your stomach with feet hip-width apart.

- Elevate your upper body slightly and rest your elbows and forearms, aligning with your raised shoulders. Your palms must be flat face-down on the ground. Look straight ahead, or close your eyes. But do not raise your head beyond that.

- Hold this pose for a couple of minutes and breathe calmly.

- If you feel too much of pressure on your back, move your elbows a little forward and rest on your hips, thighs, elbows, and forearms.

* Cat Pose

- Be on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Make sure your thighs are at right angle to your hips, and your wrists, elbows, and shoulders are in a line and perpendicular to the floor. Place your hands flat on the floor.

- As you exhale, arch your back upward. Do not move your limbs. Simultaneously, drop your chin to your chest. Do not force this action.

- Pair this with Cow Pose – while you exhale, arch your back down and lift your chin upward. Try to look at the ceiling but do not strain your neck.
