Satisfying your needs for useful information about healthy lifestyle, we invited a sports expert. Meet Ruslana Gaidai, rehabilitation coach, personal trainer, owner of UniFit (functional training outdoors). On the pages of the FoodEx blog, Ruslan will share practical knowledge, help to throw out all restrictive beliefs and groundless myths regarding sports.
Training for back problems:
Many people believe that having problems with the back (hernia or protrusion of the intervertebral disc), there can be no question of any training! But if you understand how our musculoskeletal system works, all fears will go away. You can enjoy sports life and improve your condition
Protrusion (less often – a hernia) and other problems of the spine has 80% of adults. And how do they live with that?
If you lead a sedentary lifestyle and have a “sedentary” job (and such among the townspeople – almost 80%), then your muscles do not have sufficient tone. They can not normally perform their function, namely, to prevent the vertebrae from pressing on each other.
And you need to train correctly:
Start by consulting your doctor. pass the necessary examinations. Find a qualified coach (in this area they are not enough) and start training.
The first weeks or months (depending on the physical condition of the person) the muscles do not have a normal tone, so there are certain restrictions.
It is necessary to exclude: flexion of the spine, twisting, rotation and shock load (jumping). When the muscles “understand” their role, it will be possible to move on to a greater variety of exercises.
An excellent alternative to active training and prevention of exacerbations is the “Evminov Prophylaxis.” With him in the kit there is a detailed instruction on what exercises to perform and in what quantity. But keep in mind that you will have to train often (up to 5 times a day).
Remember, only a qualified trainer will take into account all the features, will prevent injuries and deterioration from erroneous exercise techniques, accelerate rehabilitation.
