How to prevent back pain in daily life?

The strong back muscles can increase the stability, balance and coordination of the lumbar spine, and the muscles are less prone to strain and the symptoms of back pain are less likely to occur.
Exercise method: Lie on your back, go to the pillow to bend your knees, stick your elbows to the bed, flex your elbows 60 degrees to lift your back and hips for 3-5 seconds.
can be done 5-8 times each time. Exercise 2-3 times a day. The frequency and intensity of exercises vary from person to person, so it should be done step by step, and the amount of exercise can be gradually increased every day.
If you feel waist pain, discomfort, stiffness, etc. the next day after exercising, you should appropriately reduce the intensity and frequency of the exercise, or stop exercising to avoid aggravating the symptoms.
02, change life habits
Sitting for a long time will cause the muscles of the lower back and back to relax, thereby affecting the stability of the intervertebral disc, and sitting for a long time will also accumulate fat and increase the burden on the intervertebral disc, which will induce low back pain.
It is recommended to get up for activities every 40-60 minutes. You can get up and exercise at any time after work. The action "飞燕展翼":
Feiyan spreads its wings
Standing position, cross your hands behind your back, stretch your waist back, and chest forward, feel the tension of chest expansion and back contraction, hold for 10 seconds, slowly return to the initial position, and repeat 10-15 times in sequence after a short stay. I feel comfortable in the waist.
And the wrong posture will increase the pressure on the lumbar spine, and the lumbar muscle strain will be more serious.
