10 MIN HOME WORKOUT TO EASE BACK TENSION


A 10 minutes back workout to breath some life into your back -- a combination of stretching and strengthening which should sooth and oxygenate your back muscles and allow you to ease back tension.

If your back is currently sore from inactivity, I recommend doing this routine 2 to 3 times every day, either spread out throughout the day or all in one go in one half hour workout. The power of it being so short is that you can already look after yourself if you only have 10 minutes. The routine explores every movements available in the mid and lower back for best mobility, as well as strengthening the main muscles stabilising it. It is therefore a brilliant preventative workout, too.

If your back is generally comfortable but you are looking for ways to keep it that way, then using the routine a few times a week should keep it moving pretty well. However, the best way to stick to a form of exercise is to make it fun -- is there anything you've always wanted to get into? Are you concerned about being in pain if you start doing this? If that's the case, you know where this is going: book an appointment, and we'll work towards allowing you to start doing the activities that you love, without fear of injuring yourself.

(At the end of this routine, spend a few moments stretching your pecs with the final two stretches described: you'll do them standing. I am not standing up in the video in order to stay in the frame.)
