Lumbago is acute pain in the lumbar region, in the lower
back. It can appear after an intense effort (work, move, intensive sport) or
following a bad movement. People who are sedentary, overweight or have a
physical job are more likely to trigger lumbago. Pregnancy is also a period
that promotes this type of back pain.
To relieve lumbago, you first need rest. Anyway, in the
acute phase, the pain is such that you will not be able to make any effort. To
alleviate the pain, you can also use inflammatory creams and have someone
massage you with it. Essential oils are very effective against low back pain,

does not go away after 4 days or if the blockage is too great, consult your
doctor, a physiotherapist or an osteopath.
3 exercises to relieve lower back pain
Although they can not treat lumbago, some exercises are very
effective in relieving and alleviating lumbago pain. Make very gentle gestures,
breathe deeply, and especially stop the exercise if the pain is too strong.
1. Lie down on your back, gently bend your knees against
your chest while exhaling. Do this slow-motion fifteen to twenty times in a
row, two to three times a day. This exercise stretches your lower back, and
exhaling your knees helps control movement.
2. Kneeling on the floor, your buttocks rest on your heels
and your legs are slightly apart. Then extend the bust between your knees, and
slide your hands as far as possible, while exhaling, and without taking off the
buttocks of the heels. Stay in this position for about a minute, then try again
if you feel the need.
