Do you suffer from chronic back pain? If so, chances are you have a long list of cookie-cutter exercises that are supposed to provide you with pain relief - but are they really working? If you're not getting results from your back exercise routine, there's a good explanation and there are excellent ways for massive improvement!

Here's the deal, cookie-cutter back pain exercises fall short because they aren't geared to your specific issue. In order to get rid of your chronic back problem, you need to focus on back pain exercises that target your unique circumstance. For example, If you're suffering from sciatica, and you have pain shooting down your legs, a back pain exercise that is targeted toward the upper back may be futile for you.

You may find it difficult to pinpoint your specific back pain exercise needs. Your best bet is to first examine the balance of your body.

Believe it or not, most back pain and tension is caused by living with a body that is 'out of balance'.

If the foundation of your body is out of balance, it only makes sense that the load bearing integrity of your body will be compromised.

Consisting of a series of consecutive discs, your spine has a natural curve. If the natural curve of your spine extends beyond a certain point, or just one of those discs slips out of alignment, the strength of your spine becomes significantly weaker. Metaphorically speaking, envision your spine as a spring. As long as the coils are perfectly aligned, the spring will flex and bend with ease. But, if just one coil is kinked or pulled, suddenly the spring becomes useless. The same goes for your skeletal structure.

Your skeletal structure isdesigned to work smoothly in a specific manner.

Typically, when we're born our spine is flawlessly curved, our joints work smoothly, and the balance of our skeletal structure is perfect. Surely, as time goes by, we tend to spend more time sitting, develop poor postural habits, suffer traumas, deal with stress, and the list continues.

As a result of these developments, our once balanced physique becomes contorted, and when the pain starts, as it inevitably will, we neglect to take steps toward correcting our balance issues, and instead we be begin doing cookie-cutter back pain exercises. For this reason alone, it is imperative that you practice back pain exercises that are designed to eliminate your specific issue. In many cases, this will mean addressing your posture, your alignment, and your overall physical stature.

So, where do you begin?

Examing your current needs. Where is your pain, do you slouch when you stand, what about when you sit, is one shoulder higher than the other, are your legs at even length, etc.?

Once you've assessed your specific problems, be they upper back pain, middle back tension, or sciatica associated with the lower back, with the right instruction (guided by a uniquely qualified practitioner or therapist) you CAN pinpoint the exact exercise and pain relief techniques that will eliminate your pain and heal your back.

If your current list of back pain exercises are not meeting your expectations, consider exploring some other, more beneficial options. You have nothing to lose but pain, and there's no time like the present.
