Yoga: Yoga for Computer Users - Releases of pain in lower back

Twenty percent of all persons who have undergone surgery for pain in lower back do not receive any help. The remaining 80 percent will have problems ranging from mild to severe. All will have trouble with spinal flexion.

Yoga is healing rather than supply. It simply promises that if you faithfully practice these asanas every day, there will be no pain and you'll build a spine strong and flexible, restructuring posture and body image. Once you have back problems you must remain aware all day of how you stand, sit and lie. Here are some guidelines:

Always sleep on a firm (not necessarily hard) bed with a pillow under your head and a thick plate under your knees. This will help the spine to move and adjust themselves.

Do not wear high heels as this promotes lumbar lordosis and throws the spine out of balance.

Do not break-dancing, strenuous aerobics, jogging, running or something you need to shake or bounce. The monitored activity is the key here.

For back pain, sitting is the most painful. Sit on a sturdy chair, not fluffy pillows, and sit on your buttock bones. Not loll back on the tailbone or spine. Wedge a rolled towel or pillow behind your back to you straight. About as often as possible in the pose of diamond (Figure 1) to take advantage of the sciatic nerve and healing of a sphere or a lateral curvature of the spine.

If the pain is acute and you can not sit or stand in comfort, bed rest, take the necessary anti-inflammatory or anti-pain medications prescribed by your doctor, and wait until the pain is milder in these positions before.

All these asanas have healing and curative properties. It will act as a mild form of traction gently stretches the muscles of the spine extension postures safely. Force will be gradually introduced in the paravertebral muscles and buttocks, abdominal organs will be toned and strengthened, and pressure points along the spine will be encouraged. Practice each asana to the point where mild pain is felt.
