Exercise has been <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/pain\/Fulltext\/2004\/01000\/Exercise_and_chronic_low_back_pain__what_works_.24.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">well-researched<\/a> as a means to both prevent back pain and support its rehabilitation, but sometimes the very activities one does to strengthen and soothe their back can have the opposite effect if done incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience back pain after working out (or at all), it could be the result of a workout mistake\u2014and could have detrimental effects on your long-term health. The good news is that it\u2019s easily correctable. Here\u2019s what to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake #1: Insufficient Warmup or Stretching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who among us has <em>never<\/em> skipped a warmup? We all know we should do it, but lack of time, space, or patience can make it all too easy to skip. If you have back pain, though, a proper warmup should be a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/nsca-scj\/Citation\/1992\/10000\/EXERCISE_PHYSIOLOGY__Physiological_Responses_to.7.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">During a warmup<\/a>, tissue temperature rises, oxygen supply increases, and tissue becomes gradually more extensible, allowing muscles and joints to absorb greater impact before hitting the injury threshold. Stretching supports this by gently taking the joints through a greater range of motion before the more demanding work of exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are the components of a proper <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s40279-015-0376-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">active warm-up<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>5\u201315 minutes of light to moderate aerobic activity, such as treadmill walking on an incline or low-resistance stationary cycling<\/li><li>Movement-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/dynamic-stretching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dynamic stretches<\/a>, such as leg swings and trunk rotations<\/li><li>2\u20133 warm-up sets of your first resistance exercise<\/li><li>After your workout, an ideal <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/manage\/videos\/510800783\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stretch session<\/a> includes three sets of 10-second stretches of each major muscle group<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"greenHighlight\"><strong>PRO TIP:<\/strong> Skipped a stretch? Work it out with a massage. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/massage-on-demand\/services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book an in-home treatment.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake #2: Neglecting the Core<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re not saying you\u2019re vain, but it\u2019s a fact that people tend to focus their training on the muscles they can see. Unfortunately, the muscles that strengthen and protect the spine aren\u2019t necessarily the ones that make us look good on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These muscles\u2014the all-important, stabilizing core\u2014form a box around the lumbar spine and abdominal contents. And while it\u2019s tempting to zero in on your six pack, some of the most important core muscles are deeply hidden, such as the spine-supporting transverse abdominis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning to isolate and engage the complete core is critical for <a href=\"https:\/\/content.iospress.com\/articles\/journal-of-back-and-musculoskeletal-rehabilitation\/bmr572\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stabilizing the spine<\/a> during activity and preventing injury and pain. A progressive <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-csmr\/fulltext\/2008\/01000\/core_stability_exercise_principles.14.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">core strengthening program<\/a> can help even advanced exercisers weave essential principles of abdominal support into their routines. Ready to go steady? This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/better\/lifestyle\/one-month-workout-routine-strengthen-your-core-relieve-back-pain-ncna1126856\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30-day program<\/a> is designed specifically to relieve back pain through a full core circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when in doubt, <a href=\"https:\/\/gymnation.com\/blogs\/7-benefits-of-plank-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plank!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake #3: Failing to Mind Your Technique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly every form of exercise is a dynamic, movement-based activity. And, just like a dancer, every exerciser needs to <a href=\"https:\/\/exerciseismedicine.org\/assets\/page_documents\/EIM%20Rx%20series_Exercising%20with%20Lower%20Back%20Pain.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perform these movements<\/a> with proper technique, or the consequences could be devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common pain-inducing errors include:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lifting too much weight<\/li><li>Holding your breath during a lift<\/li><li>Curling forward from your back instead of bending your knees<\/li><li>Not stabilizing your trunk during standing reps with a wide squat stance<\/li><li>Arching the back during standing movements, rather than tucking in the tailbone<\/li><li>Focusing excessively on any one muscle group<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure you exercise with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/fitness\/in-depth\/weight-training\/art-20045842\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proper technique<\/a>, it helps to work with a certified personal trainer, exercise physiologist, or physical therapist. Even if it\u2019s only once in a blue moon, an expert can assess your technique for safety and pain prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake #4: Over-training \/ Under-recovering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most back pain can be classified as <a href=\"https:\/\/exerciseismedicine.org\/assets\/page_documents\/EIM%20Rx%20series_Exercising%20with%20Lower%20Back%20Pain.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mechanical failure<\/a>, commonly the result of excessive strain or overuse. The easiest way to avoid that? <strong>Don\u2019t overdo it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While post-workout muscle tenderness is natural, <strong>spinal pain is not<\/strong>. If you experience back pain during or after a workout, you may just need to dial back the intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as bad as overdoing your workouts: Not recovering sufficiently from them. Exercise stresses muscles and joints, and a recovery period\u2014generally <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/nsca-jscr\/Fulltext\/2008\/05000\/Recovery_From_Training__A_Brief_Review__Brief.49.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">48-72 hours<\/a>\u2014lets the body regenerate <em>stronger<\/em>. Resuming stress on those muscles too soon hinders their recovery, making them more prone to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, there\u2019s more than one way to recover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Passive Recovery:<\/strong> A complete cessation of exercise&#8230;because sometimes you really do just need to lay in bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Active Recovery:<\/strong> Light exercise that promotes blood flow and tissue repair without further stressing the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cross-training: <\/strong>When you can\u2019t stand to skip a day, just change up your workouts to alternate focused muscle groups, letting certain muscle groups repair while others are at work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soft Tissue Manipulation (AKA <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/massage-on-demand\/services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Massage<\/strong><\/a><strong>):<\/strong> We may be biased on this one. By promoting circulation, reducing lactic acid, and calming inflammation, massage works wonders to speed up muscle recovery. Even better, it can be incorporated into your passive and active recovery days <em>and<\/em> cross-training schedules!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nutrition &amp; Sleep:<\/strong> While not a recovery method per se, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/blog\/health-wellness\/muscle-recovery-6-science-backed-nutrients-your-body-needs-to-fight-pain-and-stay-strong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quality of your diet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/blog\/massage\/sleep-science-massage-for-insomnia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sleep<\/a> has a massive impact on your body\u2019s ability to ward off pain. With a diet rich in whole foods and 7 hours of sleep, your body will be better equipped to heal and protect itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We All Make Mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We all cut a corner or overlook a detail here and there, even when it comes to our health. But with back pain being one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-healthfitness\/fulltext\/2013\/03000\/low_back_pain.4.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most common reasons<\/a> for a visit to a medical provider, these workout mistakes should be easy to avoid, given the potential consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So don\u2019t forget to do a stretch, plank it out, tuck your tailbone, and, of course, recover with a revitalizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/massage-on-demand\/services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>in-home massage<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back pain will rear its head on nearly all of us at some point in life. 70-85% of us, to be exact.
