Are you frustrated because you’re unable to walk as far as you’d like anymore? Struggling to get up and down from a chair? Stairs seem overwhelming? It may be hard to believe right now, but there are simple things you can do to start feeling better RIGHT away. Small changes can make a big difference.
Our expert physical therapists have some tips for you to activate the muscles that support your lower back and hips.
We’ve found that 90% of people with hip pain or back pain are weak in these muscles. Working to activate these muscles greatly reduces back and hip pain.
- Keep your spine as neutral as you can comfortably manage- avoid arching the spine or forcing your back to flatten out.
- Use the abdominal muscles to push your breath out- focus on making that connection.
- Try to keep the belly stable- not rocking or shifting from side to side or rolling to the left or right.
- Work up to 10 repetitions
- Make small adjustments as you get stronger- it’s an easy way to stay challenged and engaged, and will certainly help to gain strength in the gluteal muscles.
