How To Prevent Back and Neck Pain

Since your back and neck are supported by the muscles in your body, it only makes sense that the stronger those muscles are, the more likely they will support your body and prevent back and neck pain.

To support your lower back, you will want to focus on abdominal training. A simple abdominal workout should include exercises for each of the major muscle groups:

Upper ABs – Basic Crunches

• Lay on your back with your hands crossed on your chest.
• Place your feet flat on the floor with your knees bent.
• Slowly lift your chest up toward the ceiling, keeping your chin pointed to the ceiling.
• Lift a few inches from the ground, hold for a second and then lower slowly to the ground.

Lower ABs – Reverse Crunches

• Lay on your back your arms at your sides
• Lift your legs up with your knees bent and feet off the floor
• Focusing on your lower abs, lift your buttocks off the floor slowly, keeping the rest of your body
in place
• Slowly lower down

Oblique Muscles – Side Crunches

• Lay on your right side with your knees bent
• Support your head with your right arm and bring the left hand to your head
• Crunch toward your legs with the left leg, using the left elbow to guide the movement, lower
down.
• Switch sides

You can repeat these exercises daily or every other day to help increase your abdominal strength and thus reduce your back pain.
