Exercises for the lumbar and sacral back

You can perform these back exercises at home, on the floor. Equipment wise, you’ll need a mat or a towel, some space and you can go.

Important: When performing each exercise, maintain a neutral spine and always keep the abs tight (squeeze the muscles in the abdomen.)

EXERCISE 1 Cat & Camel

Note: In this exercise, the breathing pattern is opposite to the natural one and has been changed for the purpose of the exercise.

The starting position is on “all fours”, forearms and lower legs are on the floor. The back is straight in the starting position. With a deep and slow breath, we bend our back to the maximum, (camel). With a long exhale, we bend our back down (like a cat). Repeat the exercise 10 times.

EXERCISE 2 Bird Dog

The starting position is on “all fours”, forearms and lower legs are on the floor. The back is straight during the exercise and we must not bend it. The torso is active all the time, we squeeze the muscles of the torso. The hips face the floor, being careful not to turn them (rotate) outwards when performing the exercise. On the inhale, we extend the left arm and the right leg at the same time. On the exhale, we return both extremities to the starting position. Let’s repeat the same with the other arm and leg. Repeat this exercise 10 times on each side.

Note: if you are bothered by coordination and strength and you cannot stretch your arm and leg at the same time, divide the exercise into segments. First extend your hand and return it to the starting position. Then stretch your leg and return it to the starting position.

EXERCISE 3 Dead bug

Let’s place the body in a lying position. The lower back must be “glued” to the floor when performing the exercise. Squeeze the abdominal muscles. Raise your arms and legs in the air, and bend your arms and legs at the joints so that your forearms and lower legs are parallel to your body and floor. On the inhale extend the opposite arm (left) and the opposite leg (right). On the exhale, we return them to the starting position. Repeat the same on the other side (right arm and left leg). Repeat this exercise 10 times on each side.

Note: if you are bothered by coordination and strength and you cannot stretch your arm and leg at the same time, divide the exercise into segments. First extend your hand and return it to the starting position. Then stretch your leg and return it to the starting position.

EXERCISE 4 Knee to chest

You are still lying down. The lower back when performing the exercise is “glued” to the floor all the time. The head is also on the floor all the time. Squeeze the abdominal muscles. One leg is on the floor and the other leg is bent at the knee. Hold the bent leg with your hands, on the inhale, draw it as much as possible towards the chest. Hold for 3-5 seconds and on the exhale, release and return the leg to the starting position. Repeat the same with the other leg. Repeat this exercise 10 times on each side

EXERCISE 5 Pelvis clock with legs slightly lifted in the air

The position of the body, head and torso is the same as in the previous exercise. Lift both legs slightly off the floor, stretch your feet. Imagine that you want to describe a circle (clock) with the lower back, more precisely with the pelvis, and touch all the points (hours) on the floor with the pelvis. Repeat the same movement on both sides 10 times.

Note: If it is too much of a challenge for you to perform the exercise with your legs raised, you can leave your feet on the floor.

You can also perform some exercises in the text in the office when you need a break from work (stretching exercises for the upper back). They are fast, simple and practical.

In the long run, if you are persistent, your back will be grateful. To achieve any results, it is important to be consistent. Try to find time to do this back routine at least 3 times a week.

Even if you don’t suffer from back pain, prevention is the key to health and longevity; therefore it is necessary to start on time.
