The 5 Best Exercises to Relieve a Stiff or Painful Mid Back

  • Mid-back soreness and stiffness is one of the easiest spinal problems to improve yourself. The majority of problems in this area come from sitting with poor, slumped posture and this causes the vertebrae to become restricted (which then causes muscle tightness). So, these 5 exercises focus mainly on mobilising the spine… but they also relax the muscles.
    BUT always remember to work on the cause! Sit in supportive chairs and always move your pelvis back as far as you can when you sit to avoid to the flexed position that causes these problems.

    Thanks! I have a hypermobility disorder and this causes whatever muscle is working to compensate and associated joints to over spread or lock. The Body Fix has become my bible for daily and hourly resetting. It has undisabled me by probably 50% or more. And I've been sending your channel and specific videos to all my friends (we're all in our mid 50s) who are feeling aches and pains - including one who just returned from hiking Mt. Killimanjaro!
    Would love to see more videos about stability in spine and ankles. Also, for my hubby, exercises to manage a family essential tremor and possible advancement towards Parkinsonism.
    Thanks thanks thanks!

    I'm a 52 year old male. I have mild Scheuermanns and osteoporosis. I have an area in my back that gets very stiff and painful and seems to be a weak point. I do these exercises and more daily and I just can't get it under control. The only time I have felt relatively normal was when I was taking cymbalta medication. The constant pain is making me very unhappy.

      I did a bunch of exercises for 3 days after not working out for years....I have copd. My middle back where I can touch with my thumbs is really hurting! sharp pain and it hurts when I breathe. I am wondering if i strained my back? also i was woken up out of my sleep with a neighbors loud music and it jerked me awake I made a really abrupt move that maybe strained my back.i have been taking regular strength tylenol starting yesterday. I double over in pain if i sit up for too long.even just doing nothing it really hurts this has been going on now for 3 days and nights. Feels like a knife in the meat of my middle back left and right side.... If you have any advice I would really appreciate it sir.I put a heated massage wand on it low speed and it seemed to help.@@BodyFixExercises

      @@imranimme Yes ImRanN, this is exactly the kind of thing that tends to cause more back problems: Anything that rounds the back and brings the head forward. Try putting a pillow behind your back to straighten it when you're on the sofa. Lift your mobile when looking at it, to avoid having your head forward and down for long periods of time. These exercises should help, but a check out my videos on improving forward head posture and the 4 causes of pain at the base of the neck as they would help too. Good luck and thanks for commenting!

    I sit on an exercise ball for my computer work and find that it helps with posture, partially because I have to engage and reposition my glutes frequently to remain on the ball any period of time . This motion tends to push my pelvis forward and my head back and helps with posture. I started this , because 20 years go, I broke my collar bone in a mountain bike accident and had to wear a brace for several months, refraining from bending my torso.

    I have a back sprain ( I think). My problem is I could not get out of bed this morning. I had to roll out of bed and crawl along the floor until I could find a chair to pull myself up with. Are there any exercises that I can use when I wake up that I could use when I wake up to make it easier to get myself out of bed without the painful muscle spasms?

    • @BodyFixExercises
      @BodyFixExercises  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't know enough details to answer, sorry. I don't know where exactly it is or what the cause is in your case without examining you. There can be various causes and offering advice without knowing all the details would be doing you a disservice.

    @maryannepereira6549 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The other reason how this could happen is if you hurt your knee, and you're limping for so long. And the physical therapy it has you do exercises for the run muscle. That could cause mid back pain from limping and hunched over

    • @BodyFixExercises
      @BodyFixExercises  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you have pain with standing, get an x-ray of your mid back to check that you have no compression fractures in your vertebrae. This can happen with osteoporosis.
      If the x-ray is ok, try cupping. It can be helpful for chronically tight mid-back muscles.
