Back Ache and Sex

Back Ache and Sex by Dr. Kareem

Did this get your attention? It should have... back pain can be debilitating for you in more ways than just time off of work. Increased levels of pain correspond with decreased libido, impotence, decreased patience/tolerance for others, and decreased strength. Life without these things can be depressing. Depression leads to inactivity. Inactivity leads to further breakdown.

It really is a vicious cycle. Did you know that 80% of Americans suffer from a serious enough episode of back pain in their lives that they go to the doctor for treatment?

The numbers are astounding. Unfortunately, the percentages are against you, unless of course you take precaution. Cardiovascular fitness is thought by some doctors to be the number one factor in herniated disc rehabilitation. Postural strengthening is an integral process of any rehabilitation plan. Improved posture invariably leads to decreased stress to painful areas in the back. Flexibility, when done properly, can be terrific as well. Unfortunately, without proper guidance, it is difficult to know whether your flexibility exercises may be helping or hurting your back condition. Improper flexibility exercises lead to muscle length imbalances, irritation of painful injuries, and increases in rehabilitative time. Improper strengthening programs can do the same.

Back pain can also be prevented altogether. If you have never suffered from back pain, but you want to tweak your exercise program to improve core strength, become flexible in advance, and improve fitness levels there is good news in store. All of this can be done easily and effectively through the guidance of a qualified fitness professional.
