Stretching

When was the last time you bought a new bed? Maybe you considered putting a sheet of fly wood under your mattress to support your back. Many activities in a typical day may put stress on your back that result in minor aches and pain in the long term they can cause chronic back problems.

Believe it or not many back problems can start while you’re asleep. I observe many people like lying on a carpeted floor because it is firm but its may not help. One of the best things you can do to reduce the risk of the back pain is to stretch before you get out of bed. Stretching will start to warm and lubricate your back, try lying on your back in a relaxed position with your legs extended. Slowly raise your arm over your head and lay them on the bed. Gently reach with both arms as far over you head as you comfortably can. Then add your legs and toes to the exercise, pointing your toes towards the foot of the bed. Remember to stretch only to the point of mild tension, hold the stretch for ten seconds and then allow your whole body to relax. Repeat this stretch a few times. You might also want to try it with one arm at time. Keep your back straight and your head up as you rise.
