BACK PAIN

(OF COURSE, BE CAUTIOUS . . . GO SLOWLY AT FIRST - JUST DO YOUR BEST)
Note: If any of these positions seem too difficult, please don't do them.
But, every day you get better in taking care of Back Pain.
Most People's back pain is usually because your thigh/femur muscles are too tight.
The following Positions "Reverse" The Pressure on the Lower Back.

I would recommend a count of 32 for each position.  10 to 15 Minutes Total Excercise/Stretch.
It is like "re-setting" the whole back.
Do this exercise/stretch every morning; Every Day, except for one day of rest.

This is why an adjustable bed is so good.
   
   

We recommend our Talalay Latex
Adjustable Bed Mattresses
If You have an Adjustable Bed
Everytime You Elevate Your Legs,
Your Lower Back Flattens against the Back Section.

VERY IMPORTANT:
MAKE SURE YOUR
WHOLE BACK IS COMPLETELY FLAT
AGAINST THE BACK PORTION OF THE BED.


If you are too far forward, this is like slouching in a chair.
(an adjustable bed is a little like a "chair":
there is a section for the legs, seat and back.
Make sure your whole back is against the whole back section.

You cannot flatten your back unless you bend your legs.

But, if you are not in the right position,
your whole back is not going to rest flat against the back section.

I emphasize this point because 3 out of 4 people
who are on an adjustable bed or hospital bed
are too far forward, . . .move back into the right position.

AS LONG AS YOUR WHOLE BACK
IS FLAT AGAINST THE BACK SECTION,
THIS IS LIKE THERAPY FOR YOUR BACK.
