The Secret to Easing Back Pain: 3 Simple Exercises That Will Work Wonders for You
Acupressure is an alternative technique that involves applying pressure on different points of the body (called meridians) to cleanse and release blockages. If you're struggling with back pain, here are four exercises recommended by acupressure that promise significant relief.
Since our legs bear the full weight of our body, they often 'get tired' of carrying the burden and require daily exercise to prevent pain directly associated with them like the knees, thighs, and back.
Acupressure is an alternative therapy technique that offers a set of 'pressures' on various body points (known as meridians), with the central idea behind them being the cleansing and releasing of blockages. At the core of this approach lies the belief that unresolved emotional trauma inevitably leads to blockage of the natural flow of energy needed for the body's complete health and functioning.
So if you're suffering from back problems and pain, here are four exercises recommended by acupressure - with a promise of significant relief:
1. Walking on Tiptoes – Simple Yet Effective
Walking on tiptoes slowly around the house for 20 seconds will greatly improve your back condition, provided you do it frequently. The correct way: 20 seconds of tiptoe walking, 15 seconds rest, and repeat the action at least five times.
2. Picking Up a Pencil with Your Toes
Place a pencil on the floor and pick it up using your toes. Hold the pencil for 10 seconds, then release. It’s beneficial to perform this exercise with both feet.
3. Exercise Band, Bed, and a Bit of Endurance
This exercise will help strengthen the small muscles of the foot, which are responsible for creating balance in the body. To perform it, tie an exercise band to the leg of a bed or sofa at one end, and attach the other end to your foot (at the top part of the foot).
Pull your foot back and hold it with the band for five seconds, then rest for 15 seconds and repeat the action 10-15 times.
