What if I told you that you could experience back pain relief by using therapeutic yoga for back pain? Would you be interested? I thought so.
What is causing your back pain?
Your back hurts because the muscles of your core are extremely tight, and are pulling the bones of your spine out of their natural, comfortable alignment.
When the bones of your spine are out of alignment, they are compressed and they lean on one another in painful ways. The compression can cause the discs between your bones to bulge or leak.
Or it can cause the bones to lean on your sciatic nerve.
Or it can destabilize your sacro-illiac joint.
To feel back pain relief you must realign the bones of your spine – so that they return to their natural, comfortable alignment with space between them for the discs to cushion the bones.
To re-align the bones of your spine you have to release the muscle tension that creates the misalignment.
Bones align according to the way your muscles pull on them.
Right now your muscles have muscle memory of strong tension that pulls your bones into painful positions.
You can create new muscle memory -- teach your muscles how to work without causing your bones to be pulled into painful positions.
When you release the tension in your core, where your back pain starts, then your bones return to their natural position of pain-free alignment.
When you learn how to keep that core tension from coming back, you avoid future back pain. This is the equation:
Core muscle tension release = bones in alignment = back pain relief.
How do you release your core tension and give your muscles new muscle memory so that your bones align and keep you out of pain?
