Tips to help women from back pain

Women are more prone to back pain than men because of their body shape. The female pelvis is narrower and the spine curves in a different way, which can cause discomfort when sitting for long periods of time or bending over. Luckily, there are plenty of ways that women can take care of their backs by making some changes to their lifestyle.

 Identify the cause of your back pain

1. Stretch and strengthen your core muscles to reduce tightness in the lower back.

Back pain can be caused by any number of reasons, but it is often related to tight muscles in the core. Stretching and strengthening your stomach muscles will help keep them strong which can alleviate back pain while also reducing the chances that you’ll reinjure yourself later on.

Additionally, you can try some of these exercises to target your back muscles specifically:

  • Side plank
  • Back extension
  • Deadlift

2. Take a hot shower before bedtime, which will help relax tense muscles and ease back pain.

One of the best things you can do to relax at night takes a hot shower before bed. Hot water has an immediate calming effect, which helps your muscles loosen up.  It also helps improve blood circulation, which can reduce your risk for heart disease. I think that hot water is one of the best ways to relax after a long day at work. It also helps improve blood circulation, which can reduce your risk for heart disease.

3. Sleep on an ergonomic pillow that supports your neck and head.

If you are experiencing back pain, sleeping with an ergonomic pillow can have a great impact on your condition. This type of pillow will help keep the shape of your spine in place while you sleep so that it isn't contorted into awkward positions all night long. These types of pillows also work to support the neck and head properly so that they don't cause any strain or tension during slumber time either.

4. Try yoga or Pilates for stretching exercises; both are low-impact workouts that can be done at home with minimal equipment 

One of the best ways to stretch is through yoga or Pilates. Yoga includes the use of poses, breathing techniques, and meditation while you're stretched, and Pilates focuses more on working out your core muscles to build flexibility. These exercises can help reduce tension and stress while improving flexibility.

5. If you're pregnant, make sure to take extra care of your spine by lifting properly and avoiding high-impact activities like running or jumping rope.

During your pregnancy, you should be taking extra care of your spine. It's common for pregnant women to experience back pains and having a healthy spine is the best way to prevent such pain from happening.

It's important to lift with the back straight. If you bend over while lifting, your back won't be able to support the weight and it could easily break or get injured.

Running and jumping rope are high-impact activities, so they may be too much stress on your uterus and can cause cramps and other issues that might harm the fetus.

Conclusion

It is important to identify the cause of your pain, in order to determine what course of treatment would be best for you. For instance, if you're pregnant and experience back pains during pregnancy it's crucial that you take extra care when lifting or engaging in high-impact activities like running or jumping. Other causes may be a result of sitting too long at work or not stretching enough before bedtime. The tips we've given should help ease some tension out of tight lower backs and improve your overall health with good sleep habits and exercise routines aimed specifically towards strengthening core muscles around the spine.
