Question

I have got a terrible back ache because i have scholleosis and i would like to know several postures and exercises or anything to relieve this.

Answer 1

Stretch and exercise regularly.
While exercise is important, be sure to avoid sports that involve lifting, twisting, jumping, sudden starts and stops, or arching of the spine.

Instead walk regularly or practice hatha yoga, which involves deep breathing, stretching and strengthening exercises, and meditation. Not only does yoga ease tight back muscles and strengthen weak ones, it also relieves stress, promotes circulation, and stimulates the release of pain-relieving hormones known as endorphins.

To strengthen abdominal muscles, adopt a regimen of partial sit-ups, or crunches, done by lifting the torso halfway up while the knees are bent at a 90° angle. (Full sit-ups can injure your back.)

You might also try some exercises using a Swiss ball, a large inflatable rubber ball that is also known as a therapy ball, physio ball, or gym ball. There are a number of good books and tapes available that show Swiss ball exercises for strengthening the abdominal and back muscles.

Wear comfortable footwear. Buy well-cushioned, low-heeled shoes. Avoid high-heeled shoes.

Sleep on your side. To relieve pressure on the disks in your back, sleep on your side with your knees bent, and perhaps with a pillow between your legs. Try to avoid sleeping on your stomach, which places your spine in a curvature that can aggravate back pain.

Avoid tight-fitting pants and girdles. These can weaken abdominal muscles and lead to back trouble.

Bend at the knees when lifting heavy objects. This allows your arm and leg muscles to bear the brunt of the effort. Avoid bending at the waist when lifting.

Get the right chair for desk work. If your job requires that you sit for many hours.

Supplements -
1.Boswellia is another anti-inflammatory worth considering. This herb, a standby for arthritic pain, has also long been used to reduce aching and stiffness in the back.

2.Bromelain provides some relief for acute strain. Derived from pineapples, this enzyme helps reduce the inflammation and pain caused by trauma, surgery, sports injuries, and arthritis.

3.Glucosamine can be beneficial for chronic pain. This supplement appears to strengthen the tissue supporting the spinal disks that line your back and can be added to your daily supplement program. It's also safe to combine with conventional painkillers such as aspirin.

4.Calcium and magnesium are the backbones of any prevention program because these minerals fortify the bones and cartilage. Everyone loses bone as they age, so if you've developed back pain in your middle years, now is a good time to start an osteoporosis prevention program (both women and men!).

Answer 2

Learn how to keep the muscles from getting tight (getting knots in them called trigger points) or at least how to get rid of them yourself. For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. All natural 75% success rate. A massage therapist is one way to help get it under control (they will apply more pressure than you might because of the desire built into us not to hurt ourselves). I also use a chiropractor (who is a muscle specialist) that uses an activator instead of a bone cruncher.
