Doing yoga is good for health, far better than taking medicine or physical therapy. Stretching is as effective as yoga in treating back pain, but the main exercise parts are trunk and legs.
2. Massage the back to relieve pain. Each acupoint can be massaged for 10 minute each time, and the specific number of times a day can be determined according to the relief situation. If the back pain is serious, it will be 3 or 4 times a day, and if it is relieved, it will be twice a day.
Massage at Xinshu, Dushu and Shu Ge points on the upper back is helpful to stimulate the lungs and heart, regulate blood and soothe the stomach. Massage points such as Ganshu, Danshu and Pishu on the lower back can stimulate the liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach and dampness.
3. Stand against the wall to increase the muscle strength of the back to relieve back pain. Stand straight against the wall with the shoulder blades on both sides as close as possible to the wall for about 3 minutes at a time. This will help to increase muscle strength and help to prevent and relieve back pain.
4. Relaxing body and mind, reducing stress and maintaining mental health are also related to avoiding back pain. When people are in a state of anxiety, the human body will make a "fight or flight" reaction, which will lead to tight muscles and make preparations for action. Therefore, people who are nervous and stressed are more likely to have symptoms of back pain.
