The lower back pain quiz
Are you damaging your back?
Ok folks here we go. I am sure many of you reading this have a good idea of your lower back and what you should be doing for it and what you should be avoiding.
Right? Hmm, let’s see shall we.
After all, the majority of people I see in the clinic are damaging their backs on a daily basis. A large part of my job is to remove the causes of their back pain by educating them to stop wrecking their backs every day in the little things that they do. So commonly I hear my clients say ‘ I had no idea that was bad for my back!?’ as you can imagine, you can have massages, chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture etc but if you have not removed the causes of your back pain you will be back in pain before too long.
So, every week I will have a question to test your lower back knowledge-good luck!
- when you do sit-ups you should have your knees bent to protect your back rather than having them straight
I have started your quiz with an easy one this week.
Of course the answer is false. It matters not whether your legs or knees are bent, straight or tucked behind your ears when you do sit-ups. The bottom line is that you should not be doing sit-ups!!
If you are wondering why then have a look at my previous post on boquetehealth.ning.com and you will see exactly what damage you are doing with every sit-up.
But for now,
Rest assured I am watching your back
