Back pain can sometimes occur from one minute to the next. Now quick help is needed - for example with these simple tips!
Sometimes all it takes is one wrong movement - and immediately the pain shoots up our backs. We now know that light exercise is actually one of the best remedies for acute back pain - even a short walk can help. But unfortunately, the pain is often so severe that we can hardly move, let alone go for a walk. So what to do? We reveal three simple tips that can help with acute back pain.
Step storage
The so-called step position relaxes the spine and relieves the intervertebral discs. To do this, lie on the floor, bend your knees at a 90-degree angle and rest your calves horizontally on a chair or sofa. Make sure that your lower back is really firm on the floor and that there is no hollow back. Stay like this for two to five minutes, breathing deeply in and out. Then gently roll onto your side to stand up.
Cat hump
To relax your muscles, it helps to simply let yourself hang limply. The best way to do this is with the cat hump: place a cushion on a seat (e.g. on a chair), sit with your stomach over it and let your head, arms and legs simply hang down on both sides. This loosens the muscles after just a few minutes.
Heat
Heat treatments are recommended for any type of muscle tension, including acute back pain. There are many variations here: A heat patch on the painful areas can help as well as a hot water bottle. Insider tip: One can accomplish a Hot stone Massage also at home easily. To do this, you collect a few oval, flat, large stones in advance in nature and clean them properly. If pain occurs, the stones are heated in warm water (about 55 degrees) for 15 minutes, rubbed with a little massage oil and then placed on the painful parts of the back. To do this, it is best to lie on your stomach and relax until the stones have cooled down.
