Are you dealing with lower back discomfort? You're not the only one! As per latest statistics, approximately 619 million individuals suffer from lower back pain, making it the primary cause of global disability. This condition represents a significant public health concern. The question is why is it happening?
The leading cause of this problem is sedentary lifestyle. These days we spend too much time in front of the screens in a seated position without taking mindful breaks. Prolonged periods of sitting or inactivity can weaken the muscles supporting the spine.
Poor Posture is another very common cause of lower back pain. Most of the people don't even realize how crucial it is to maintain a good posture and they spend their days hunching over computers, or craning the neck forward while using electronic devices, seating crossed legs for long hours. Slouching or hunching over disrupts the natural alignment of the spine, causing excessive pressure on the lower back muscles and discs. Over time, this can lead to muscle imbalances, spinal misalignment, and chronic lower back pain.
Muscle Imbalances comes as the third common reason, it is often caused by above two factors. Generally speaking. muscle imbalances occur when certain muscles in the body become stronger or tighter than others, leading to an uneven distribution of force and tension. In the context of lower back pain, muscle imbalances can result from above two factors such as poor posture, sedentary lifestyle. For example, tight hip flexors and weak core muscles are common imbalances that can place excessive strain on the lower back. Over time, this imbalance can lead to discomfort, inflammation, and eventually chronic pain in the lower back region.
The best solution to lower back pain is yoga therapy. Yoga therapy offers a specialised and tailored approach to addressing lower back pain that goes beyond the general practice of traditional yoga.
Yoga therapy often incorporates the use of props such as yoga blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets to support and modify yoga poses as needed. Not only does it make it more accessible to individuals of all levels and abilities, but it also brings the desired result much faster.
