What technique can relieve low back pain?

Physical therapists Bob Schrupp and Brad Heineck, known as Bob and Brad, explain a 90-second technique called “strain, counterstrain, or positional release” that can relieve low back pain and upper body tension. The technique has been around since the 1950s and has received positive feedback from viewers, garnering over half a million views on Bob and Brad’s video. To perform the move for low back pain relief, lay prone (on your stomach) on a bed or carpeted floor and consider using a pillow or cushion to elevate your abdominal or hip area if necessary. The exercise involves thinking about your pain on a scale of 1-10 and holding the position for at least 30 seconds. The duo’s YouTube channel offers further tips and advice for pain relief and improving functional fitness.

Should people stretch before exercising?

According to David Behm, who researches human kinetics at Memorial University of Newfoundland, it is generally better to warm up first before stretching. He recommends engaging in a light aerobic activity such as jogging, walking, or cycling for five or 10 minutes before following it with static stretching, where a position is reached and held. Activity-specific dynamic stretching, which involves warming up the muscles with repetitive movements, can be done after static stretching. Behm suggests that one minute is the ideal duration for static stretching per muscle group without causing fatigue. It is important to remember that stretching can improve flexibility, range of motion, and overall well-being, but warming up before stretching is essential for safety.
