Male Pill – Impotence Information

The lumbar region or the lower part of the spine is where most people experience back pain. This part of the back carries the weight of the body, which makes the muscles prone to strain. Look at the the diagram of the spine and notice the shape of the spine- an 'S' shape.

The muscles connected to the lower torso act upon your lower back. Your the abdominal muscles help to keep the lower spine straight. That's why any back exercise programme must strengthen your abdominal muscles. Another set of muscles which act on the back are are the hamstrings of the legs. That's why stretching the hamstring muscles helps prevent or help treat lower back pain.

The hamstring muscle is attached to thighbone at the bottom and the pelvis at the top.Tight or inflexible hamstrings,will tend to pull on the pelvis. This pulling action of the hamstrings causes a rounding of the lower back. Over a period of time, this poor spinal shape or posture will lead to back pain.

Look at the diagram. Normally you would see the man with an S shape in his back. In the image,the pelvis has been pulled backwards by the hamstring. The normal S curve in his back is not there. Over time, he is likely to suffer from back pain.

Sit on the ground with your right leg straight out in front of you. Bend your left leg, so that your left foot is close to your right leg. Bend forward at the hips and reach for your right shin or ankle. Pull gently. Hold the position for 30 seconds. If this is painful to your lower back, then rather stand on your left leg and rest your right foot on a chair or table, then bend forward and hold your right foot or ankle.

Stretching guidelines A.Don't hold your breath. Holding your breath will makes you more tense. By breathing deeply, you will be more relaxed and able to stretch deeper and longer. B.Never force yourself beyond mild discomfort. Stretching tight muscles will be mildly painful or uncomfortable. However, you should never feel any sudden or sharp pain. If you do, stop immediately and choose a gentler stretch eg in this exercise, don't lean forward as much. C.Stretch every day for a few minutes. This will gradually build flexibility and range of motion. This is much better than stretching only once a week for a longer time. D.Dress in loose, comfortable clothing. If your clothes are tight and restrict movement, you can't stretch effectively. E.Increase your time each week. You need to time yourself and aim to increase the time by a few seconds per week. Start with 10-15 seconds, increasing this by a few seconds each week until are able to stretch for at least 30 seconds.
