Back pain

Hi all,

 

I've been experiencing some lower back pain recently after the end of my yoga

exercises. It makes it very difficult for me to lay down

into corpse pose. It's quite odd because I've been practising for several

months and this was never a problem until recently. The pain

is entirely concentrated on the left side of my lower back and is only there

when I try to lay into corpse pose. I don't feel it at all

during my yoga, or after.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Tammy Schilling

Hi Tammy

my advice comes from 'conventional' hatha yoga.--

After back bends, going in to corpse pose might give a problem, as the lower

back arches in this pose for many people.

so - directly after back bends, you could try holding kness to chest,

feeling the length of the spine along the floor

 

Best wishes- Mike

Tammy :

I had lower back problems for years.

What helped me most, were exercises to strengthen the

lower back.

 

What I´m doing now to keep my lower back in good shape

is the following.

 

- I warm up on a climber before my set of KY, this

exercise has strengthened my lower back.

One similar you can do, is : put a chair against the

wall, and climb it, doing sets of ten or whatever with

each leg, do the same leg up and down to complete a

set.

 

This exercise was gave it to me after a period of

rehabilitation to start building a stronger lower

back, and it really worked. Also helped me for

cardiovascular health.

Now I'm doing it on a climber.

 

About the corpse pose, before doing it , I do an asana

from Hata called crocodile. Lay down on the floor,

face upside down, looking at front and putting the

chin on the floor, hands unfront of the head with

fingers interweaved.

Legs open comfortable, and feet pointing outside.

 

This exercise helps me to relax the lower back before

the corpse pose.

Also helps me very much to concentrate on the pain and

feel it, until I'm able to relax the muscule.

 

Hope this can help you.

 

Carlos

Carlos,

 

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I will definetely try them. The chair

climbing exercise sounds like it would also help build

strength in my legs (since I probably have a little more weight to lift up than

I should), that's too cool.

 

I will definetely try the crocodile pose. Sounds like it might help to rest

that side of my back.

Tammy:

 

Just a note on crocodile pose, since I used to have to use this alot, in lieu

of lying flat on my stomach (in preparation for many Hatha back bends) which

used to hurt my lower back too much:

 

Carlos' explanation of the pose is a bit different than the one I know, which

you might also like. All the rest is the same, but try crossing your arms in

front of you, holding on to each elbow/forearm with opposite hands, then

resting your forehead on the arms.

 

Also, if you do try one of the other suggestions that I saw you got, to hug

your knees in to your chest before Savasana, you might find that it feels

nice to rock from side to side in this position, massaging the lower back.

 

And, as long as people are sharing their forms of lower back strengthening

rehab, here's mine. Lie on your back; pushing lower back/sacrum into the

floor, raise opposite arm and leg straight up, then lower slowly. Switch

sides. Try working up to 15 sets.

 

I had horrible lower back problems/pain and did 15 in the morning and another

15 before going to bed, every day for over a year. It really helped! Remember

to push your back into the floor though and not arch it.

 

Good luck.

 

Susan
