Improving Lower Core Muscles For Fast Back Pain Relief
This exercise is a great exercise not only to loosen up the lower back a little bit but also to loosen the deep psoas, and the hamstrings
. This is not so much for loosening the lower back, as it is for loosening the psoas muscle, and the hamstrings, but also to contributing to stability in the lower back, and opening up, believe it or not, the upper back. By the way Im using a simple yoga strap for this. You can use a belt, a towel, a sash, anything you like, or you can buy a yoga strap from my website, or get it in your local store. But, more or less, youll need the yoga strap. I recommend a strap; I think its worth the normal cost. It doesnt really cost very much, and youll find many uses throughout my other videos. So, to get started, lie down on your back, knees bent, and feet facing the same way as the body, parallel to the body. Put your hands under your buttocks, and move your buttocks down towards your feet. Once you got your back nice and flat on the floor, then you going to extend your legs, toes facing the ceiling. Now, Im going to engage my quadriceps. I will push out to my feet as if Im pushing against a wall. And, thats the kind of action I want to maintain throughout the course of this particular movement. Then Im going to take my strap, and bend my right leg in this case, place the strap under the ball of the foot. So you see its not particularly on the ball of the foot, its not on the arch, but its just behind the ball of the foot, in between the ball of the foot and the arch, on this comfortable spot. Im going to grab with two hands, and raise and straighten my leg upward to about ninety degrees from my body, not past it. Im not trying to impress people with how flexible my hamstrings are here. Were just doing the first one; we will do just a ninety degree. Now, if you cant go to ninety, youre going to go to wherever you can go where you straighten your leg. It really wont benefit you at all if your knees bent, since exercising does not benefit you with your knee bent, because youre not stretching the hamstring. So youve got to straighten your leg. Then, while I do that, theres a tendency for the stomach to tighten up, Im going to let my stomach fall back and relax. Im going to keep working this leg hard, like its pushing into a wall, and then Im going to take this leg to ninety, if I can. If I cant, Im going to go a little less than ninety, shoulders just flat into the ground, not crouching forward. So I wont compromise my spine or posture. I dont want to do that. So, my shoulders are flat into the ground, and pulled down, elbows are heavy; arms arent pulling harder, just really holding this in place, and Im pushing out through both of my feet, as I pull the strap down. So, Im going to hold this leg into a ninety degree position. This is a great exercise for sciatica; really good. It starts to open up the areas of the sacraliatic joint, and the surrounding deep rotating muscles really good. And then I just release the strap, lower down my leg, straighten my leg, and do the other one.
