3. Improving Flexibility of the Lower Extremities – Stretching exercises
designed to stretch and elongate the muscles of the legs and lower back will
help to prevent injuries by keeping the muscles supple and flexible. Focus on
stretching the hamstrings, quadriceps, and the muscles surrounding the hips.
4. Improve Posture – Your posture while sitting and standing has a huge effect
on the pain and stiffness you are feeling in your back and even shoulders and
neck area. By strengthening your core musculature along with the muscles of the
middle back region you will notice your posture improving as well. Pilates
exercises again have been proven to improve posture through strengthening the
deeper abdominal muscles.
5. Using Proper Body Mechanics – When bending over or lifting objects from the
floor it is important to keep your spine in a safe neutral position with the
abdominal muscles contracted. Pilates exercises focus on strengthening the
spine while standing, sitting, kneeling, or lying in this neutral position.
This is the safest and healthiest way to work, exercise, and play without the
risk of injury.
6. Avoid Sitting for Long Periods – Work that involves sitting for long periods
of time or driving equipment that vibrates can aggravate the muscles of your
back. Make sure you have an ergonomically correct chair and desk space and are
sitting upright with your bottom up against the back of the chair and your
shoulders stacked up over your hips.
7. Long –Term Exercise Program – Adhering to a regular long term exercise
program that involves the aspects mentioned above such as: core strengthening,
flexibility, postural exercises, and 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise most
days of the week will contribute to a healthier spine and a happier you!
