Cure your back problems without drugs or surgery with this phenomenal, yet easy to perform stretch routine. Then, when the back gets better, try the 10-minute STRAP CIRCUIT, and see how easy home exercise can be.
Whether you have chronic back pain, tight hamstrings or strength deficits in you hips and back, stretching the hip girdle is imperative…so why is this important?
Muscles have elastic properties…some rely on this elasticity more than others. The hamstrings, for example, are very tendonous, and have heavy, thick elastic components… the opposing (antagonistic) muscle, the quadriceps, are more fleshy, and much less elastic, generally speaking.
This disparity in elasticity between these two, very integrally-related, muscle groups, often results in what some people slangly-term, 'tight hamstrings'. Over time, this situation applies undue and non-uniform (compressive) stress to the lumbar vertebral bodies, and can result in symptoms…spasmodic or discogenic (muscle spasms and/or disc sxs).
The remedy…NO, it is not in a pill-bottle…NOT in a scalpel, NOR a syringe filled with steroidals, but it is in OVER-RIDING the tightness in the very tense, very powerful hamstrings.
