I joined an after work yoga class a few years back cause why not, maybe it would help me de-stress and man, was way harder than expected but I always left feeling like I just had a massage session.
I don’t do yoga classes anymore but I remember enough that when I’m feeling the start of pains here or there, I can usually do stretching that will make it better
Popping my spine is one of the few pleasures I still experience. Twist and crunch crunch crunch crunch. Twist the other way and crunch crunch crunch crunch. I like to imagine this is how good having skin to skin contact with another human might feel.
Our posture can get absolutely wrecked from the way we sit or stand for extended periods of time, and for anyone fed up with it I highly recommend looking up corrective exercises. Those forward rolled shoulders, protruding “tech neck,” posterior or anterior pelvic tilt, all often result from our bodies getting used to being in “improper” positions, causing constant strain and pain as our muscles struggle to compensate.
By strengthening those rarely worked muscles, whether it’s coming from the neck down, the middle of the back, or up from weak glutes, all help correct our posture and eliminate the strain, thereby eliminating the pain. Also great for overall fitness and anyone looking to round out their physique. Take care of yourselves, friends!
Can confirm. I had back problems for a long, long time and doing these exercises even every couple days has prevented it from happening again.
Though we're getting six inches of snow tomorrow so maybe not. I'll be sure to update everyone.
Edit: So we got about six inches of snow, plus rain on top, which made shoveling a pain. Plus I didn't get it done before the plow came, so I had that to deal with.
However, I managed to get it all cleared without my back complaining more than two ibuprofen and a good night's sleep could handle.
