Treatment & Stretching For Back PainHAM IT UP FOR BACK PAINIt has long been shown that much of the back pain that we suffer is related to traction originating from hamstring shortening that accumulates over time. The actual physics is not too complicated. Persistent hamstring shortening causes a corresponding shortening of the muscles of the low back. To the muscles of the low back then, exercise will vary the degree of compression of the vertebrae and disks in the low back. Over time, arthritis, disk herniation and spinal stenosis can occur. Most people can avoid chronic pain by remaining flexible throughout their whole body. Stretching the back of the calves and hamstrings will stretch the muscles of the low back and hamstrings. This reduces the compression in the low back, hips and knees. Low back pain is potentially preventable and reversible with a proper stretching program such as the Lamb Program™.
