2. Correct lumbar spine exercise

1. First of all, try not to exercise when you have lower back pain. Secondly, the intensity of exercise should be increased gradually from low to high. Exercises that require sudden force or explosive power are not good for the lumbar spine and should be avoided as much as possible. Third, exercise should be regular, generally three times or more a week, 20 minutes each time. In terms of choosing exercise programs, aerobic exercise can reduce the burden on the lumbar spine, enhance lumbar flexibility and muscle strength, and can effectively relieve and prevent low back pain. The preferred exercises are brisk walking and jogging. When doing these two exercises, you should wear elastic sports shoes, keep your head up and chest out, and exercise for about 30 minutes every day or every other day. It is recommended that patients after lumbar surgery walk briskly. Patients with degenerative lumbar diseases such as lumbar muscle strain should limit their activity time and stop activities immediately if low back pain symptoms occur.

2. The second is riding a bicycle. When riding a bike, keep the seat as low as possible and the handlebars higher. Cycling is most beneficial for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. It can increase the width of the lumbar spinal canal and the flexibility of the lumbar spine. It is advisable to persist in doing it for about 30 minutes a day.

3. It is mountaineering. Mountain climbing can exercise the thigh muscles and psoas muscles, but excessive fatigue will increase the burden on the lumbar spine. When climbing, you should try to avoid mountain roads with steep slopes and should not climb with heavy objects on your back. When climbing, intentionally engage your abdominal muscles and keep your knees slightly bent.

In addition, swimming is also a safe and effective exercise that is beneficial to the lumbar spine. People who cannot swim can walk and run in the water.
