Upper Back Pain Exercises
Many of the back pain exercises suggested by people are lower back
pain exercises.
That is they work on relieving pain in the lower back,
as this is where many people have a back pain problem. However, pain
can also occur in the upper back, particularly through bad posture,
sitting in front of a keyboard or associated neck problems. Some good
upper back exercises include:
Exercises your neck by rolling it forward and from side to
side.
Move your shoulder back as far as they can go.
Stretch out your arms to the side and tilt your hand backwards.
This will help if your upper back pain is related to neck pain.
When doing upper back exercises, posture is very important. It
is pointless doing exercises if you are slouching at the same time,
causing more problems for your back
Low Impact Aerobics
Aerobic exercises are very important as they improve the cardiovascular
system and contribute to overall general health. People should participate
in some form of aerobic activity at least three times a week.
