Relieve Low Back Pain | Reduce Low Back Pain | Canada's Leading Authority in Human Movement | Dev Chengkalath

In dealing with exercise errors and low back pain, poor warm-ups rank right up there as major contributors to either keeping you in pain, or getting you there. 

What do I mean by poor warm-ups?

Take a quick look around any of your neighbourhood gyms or fitness studios and you’ll see that most people walk out of the change rooms and straight to their favourite piece of equipment. They will then proceed to get on with their lifts or exercises without a care in the world. 

In many cases, poor warm-up actually means NO warm-up!

Sure, you may see a few obligatory static stretches thrown in after a few minutes on the treadmill, but you’ll seldom see a well designed or consistently applied dynamic warm-up which follows the principles I discussed in my free report (if you haven’t already done so, sign up for the free report at the end of this post. It’s FREE!). 

Why is that a problem?

Well, how many of those people have spent their day sitting at a desk? Or sitting in a car? Or slouched on the couch?

The point of the warm-up is to PRIME your body for optimal health and performance.

After a day of poor postures and bad habits, shouldn’t you get your body ready to face the rigours of your exercise program? And wouldn’t this seem even more important if you were trying to relieve your low back pain?

Basically, if your body isn’t warmed up properly, all the systems that come into play may not be functioning at the level they need to be working at to keep you healthy and pain free.

This takes us back to the risk/benefit ratio. 

By not warming up appropriately, your level of risk goes up, while your level of benefit goes down.

And for relieving low back pain, this is not the position you want to be in.

So reduce your risk. Use trojan.

And after that, reduce your risk some more by warming up properly.

Yours in movement.
