Three Miracle Exercises For Middle Upper Back Pain

You are stressed overworked and have constant middle or upper back pain. Your doctor has recommended exercise, but when do you get the time to do it?

If this is you then these three quick, simple and effective exercises are perfect for relieving your middle upper back pain. What's more they can be done anywhere in a matter of minutes.

Back pain is something that affects virtually everyone. Constant bending and twisting can really hurt your back. That is why it is imperative to make sure you are bending and twisting properly. It is also imperative that you are aware of the many different kinds of exercises out there that can help relieve middle upper back pain. By doing these exercises your back should be feeling better in no time. I do advise that you see a doctor for severe pain, and do not do any exercises unless you have an OK from a doctor.

The first exercise that can help relieve middle upper back pain are hamstring stretches. It may be hard to believe, but stretching your hamstrings can help make your back feel better. The reason for this is because everyone is pretty much connected to something else in the body. A tight hamstring can result in a tight back, and a tight back could lead to back pain. A simple way to stretch your hamstrings is to stand up, bend your knees slightly, and bend over to try and touch your toes. You will more than likely not be able to touch your toes, but try to reach farther each time you do it.

The next exercise I recommend for middle upper back pain relief is what is called the cat stretch. This stretch actually stretches your back. Start by getting on the floor on all fours. Then, keeping your hands and knees in place, lean back. It should look similar to a cat or dog when it stretches. This stretch will help stretch your back muscles. This will result in a looser back.

Other than stretching, there are strength exercises that can help strengthen your back. Often times back problems are either because of a tight back or a weak back. The lower back is usually where people have the most back problems. Try what is called a superman. You start by lying flat on the floor with your face down. Then, simultaneously lift your back legs and arms up while keeping them straight. Hold the position for a second, then slowly lower your legs and arms back down. This, and many other exercises, can help middle upper back pain go away.

If you follow these simple but highly effective exercises there is no reason why you should not begin to feel the benefits right away. In time that horrible nagging middle upper back pain could be a thing of the past, and you could be enjoying that quality of life that you crave.
