An often overlooked way of looking at back pain relief is to spend more time doing the opposite of what causes pain or what position you find yourself in more often.
An example of this would be sitting or flexing the spine.
If sitting or bending over hurts or tends to be a pain trigger for you, a great plan is to do less of the painful activity and do the opposite.
So, in this case, it would be extension in the lower back.
If you sit a lot and have pain with bending, why not try and spend time in a position that is opposite to what you normally do?
After doing this, you may experience some tension and achiness in the lower back, which is normal. Now it’s time to follow it up with a fast-paced walk to calm the central nervous system down.
