LOWER BACK EXERCISES
INTRODUCTION
(Keywords: LOWER BACK EXERCISES, chiropractic help, lumbar facet syndrome, lower back and leg pain, sacroiliac syndrome)
We are into a whole new phase at Chiropractic Help - adding videos, in this instance of exercises for your lower back pain, to the site.
This is a significant, and frankly technically difficult development. The making of high quality videos is not easy, and the technical side of adding it to the site is tricky too.
Our first baby steps... this Introduction: the exercises themselves will will be added progressively.
Enjoy the ride with us. It's exciting doing what you love, keeping up with new technologies, and most of all promoting the power of Chiropractic to improve your health.
PS: If your video keep stopping, press on the double II button in the bottom left corner. Wait for the little grey line to reach the end before again starting the video.

LUMBAR DISC SYNDROME EXERCISES
A hot lumbar disk can be a very frightening experience. I know, I've treated thousands, and have the T-shirt myself. It took me ten minutes to pluck up the courage to LIE DOWN! That was even worse than getting up.
Please be sensible and talk to your chiropractor, and ask whether these exercises are pertinent to your case... and ask him/her to check that you are doing them correctly. The wrong exercises, or done badly, can aggravate your condition.
Please note, very important, there is no perfect exercise routine for all conditions. The right way really is to see a professional, get a diagnosis and advice on which exercises are pertinent to your condition. Have him/ her teach you to do them correctly.
Having said that, I'm pestered constantly at Chiropractic Help for lower back exercises. Do them at your own risk! They are very basic and not likely to hurt, but they certainly can, especially if you do them incorrectly.
Far better to have the locked facet adjusted by your chiropractor, and then keep it in motion with these daily exercises. Preferably before it starts radiating down the leg:
LOWER BACK AND LEG PAIN ...
PELVIC TILT with a difference
Anyone suffering from chronic lower back pain must give attention to the core muscles. These LOWER BACK EXERCISES incorporate all three parts of the pelvic corset of muscles:
Abdominal flexors
Small spinal extensors
Deep pelvic muscles
Done lying on your bed, ten reps of this exercise will take less than one minute. I do them myself every morning BEFORE getting out of bed.
KASCH PULSE RECOVERY TEST
This is a neat little test that you can do at home, testing your general level of fitness. Stepping up and down for a few minutes, and monitoring how quickly your pulse returns to normal.
Personally I'm back in Holland for a few months, and surprised how much fitter I feel, riding twenty minutes each way to the clinic. Silly, I should have done the Kasch pulse test first, and seen what effect it had after a month. But I know I feel stronger and fitter after only a month of 40 minutes a day on the cycle. Except today, a typical Dutch day! Het regent de hele dag in het Kikkerlandje! It's rained all day, dampening any thought of going to church. Dordrecht has a marvellous Grote Kerk but not much fun in the rain on a Dutch bicycle.
I may have missed church, but I never my chiropractic lower back exercises. And my Bible reading... fundamentals of good health. Jup, I'm a fundy, and proud of it! Or least was until I read about that Norwegian Anders Behring.
KASCH PULSE RECOVERY TEST ...
CORE MUSCLES
This one minute exercise, also done in bed before arising, is a little more challenging. Using the Quadratus Lumborum muscles and the Ilio-psoas simultaneously is more like what your back will be required to do when gardening or playing squash.
BED EXERCISES
Exercises done lying down have their limitations, but they have one great advantage: they get done. Our whole bed exercise program takes less than two minutes and, done first thing in the morning, before arising, THEY GET DONE. More interesting, and perhaps better exercises more related to real life, but left to "sometime later when you have time" just never get done.
Spend two minutes in the morning, two minutes last thing at night and you'll be astonished how much stronger your back will be in a month.
