Over the course of many years I have spoken to and treated literally thousands of back pain sufferers. Countless numbers of them have been saying to me that they have been doing back pain stretches but with no noticeable positive effects. However it is important to note that the old rule remains true even in this circumstances - when something is done correctly positive results can be expected and visa versa.
There are three basic spinal movements that we should be aware of: Rotation, Flexion (side bending), Extension (forward/backward movement).
Only once all 3 movements have been restored can one expect to see success. There are important techniques to learn that will enable you to re-establish those movements successfully.
Positive results can never be expected from partially correcting the functions. The biggest issue with most of the current remedies are that they do not deal with the 3 necessary elements; Symmetry, Elasticity and Strength.
Doing back pain stretches correctly will address all three of those vital elements. None of those can be achieved without stretching but at the same time it has to be said just as a lack of exercise reduces muscle strength will a lack of stretching reduce Symmetry and Elasticity.
It is a pity then that back pain victims do not get the desired results because they do not understand the difference between stretches and exercises and only concentrate their efforts on one of them instead on both.
Basically stretching lengthens the muscle tissue while exercises shorten it. So it must be commonsense to conclude that doing only one of them (stretches or exercises) to the exclusion of the other will result in disappointment.
Positive results will ONLY be forthcoming when the correct exercises and stretches are done in the correct manner and order and regularity.
