3 Most Important Steps to Relieve Low Back Pain-Get Fit
You’ve taken the first two steps.
You’re educated about your problem. You’re well versed in the causes of your low back pain. You have the knowledge bombs needed to make the right choices and decisions.
Cognitively, you are ready to go.
You’re also aware of the control issues at stake. You know you have to get your motor control back under your control. You know you have to assess and fix your posture, you know you have to balance your muscle imbalances, you know you have to optimize your mobility and you know you have to improve your movement patterns and break those bad habits.
So what’s left?
Getting fit.
The many benefits of getting in shape.
This really means undoing all those years of de-conditioning that you may have heaped onto your body.
De-conditioned simply means you’re out of shape.
Being in a state of de-conditioning makes it harder for your body to deal with the daily stresses that it must face. This can include simple activities such as climbing the stairs, changing positions, lifting things, walking and yes, even sitting.
If you’re not in the kind of shape you should be in, chances are, you’re using poor posture, your muscular system is not working on all cylinders, you’re not as mobile as you should be, and most certainly you’re using faulty movement patterns through compensation or bad habit.
In order to help you fix your de-conditioning and all the other causes of low back pain, I’m going to re-introduce you to GOYA therapy.
I discussed GOYA therapy a while back, but I think it is fundamentally important, not only for relieving low back pain, but for any physical therapy intervention for almost every single type of injury or corrective exercise program.
Apply the principles of GOYA therapy wisely and consistently and you’ll soon see fitness levels that will astound even yourself .
Yours in fitness.
