Gardening season 👩‍🌾doesn’t need to mean a visit to The Back Practice 😶

Gardening is a great way to get some exercise and fresh air, but it can also be tough on your back. Here are five tips to help prevent back pain while you're gardening:

1. **Warm up your body before you start.** Just like any other physical activity, it's important to warm up your muscles before you start gardening. A brisk walk, some light stretches will help to get your blood flowing and your muscles ready for physical activity.

2. **Bend at your knees, not your back.** When you need to lift something heavy, bend at your knees and squat down rather than rounding your back. This will take the stress off of your spine and help to protect your back from injury.

3. **Use the right tools for the job.** There are a variety of gardening tools available that can help you to avoid back pain. For example, use a long-handled shovel to avoid bending over when digging, and use a kneeler or stool to avoid kneeling on the ground.

4. **Take breaks and listen to your body.** It's important to take breaks every 30 minutes or so to rest your back and stretch your muscles. Don't try to do too much at once, and listen to your body. If you start to feel pain, stop what you're doing and take a break. 🤔 All jobs don’t need to be done in one day 😉

5. **Strengthen your core muscles.** Strong core muscles can help to support your back and prevent pain. There are a variety of exercises that you can do to strengthen your core, such as planks, crunches, and side bridges.

By following these tips, you can help to prevent back pain and keep enjoying your gardening hobby.

What is ESWT?
ESWT is a technology that uses shock waves to treat chronic painful
conditions of the musculoskeletal system. Extracorporeal means outside the
body. Areas most frequently treated with ESWT are the foot/ankle, Shoulder, Lower Back, Knee, Hip, and Achilles. A shockwave is an intense but short energy wave travelling faster than the speed of sound which is passed through the skin at the injured area and works by stimulating certain components within the body which accelerates the healing process.
In addition to stimulating the healing process, the ESWT has a direct effect on the nerves and reduces pain. The shock waves are mechanical, not electric and are generated outside of the body. It is a very
low-risk, procedure.

Back pain is a common problem, but there are things you can do to help relieve it.

Some generic advice.

Stay active. Exercise helps to strengthen the muscles in your back and improve flexibility.

Here are 10 exercises that can help to strengthen the muscles in your back and improve flexibility:

Knee to chest stretch: Lie on your back with your knees bent. Bring one knee towards your chest and hold it there for 30 seconds. Repeat with the other leg.

Cat-cow pose: Start on your hands and knees. As you inhale, arch your back like a cat. As you exhale, round your back like a cow. Repeat 10 times.

Child's pose: Kneel on the floor with your knees hip-width apart. Sit back on your heels and fold your torso over your thighs. Rest your forehead on the ground and relax your arms by your sides. Hold for 30 seconds.

Bridge pose: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Raise your hips off the ground until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Hold for 5 seconds and then lower your hips back down. Repeat 10 times.

Superman pose: Lie on your stomach with your arms extended in front of you. Raise your arms and legs off the ground at the same time, keeping your core engaged. Hold for 5 seconds and then lower your arms and legs back down. Repeat 10 times.

Bird dog pose: Start on your hands and knees. Extend your right arm and left leg out straight, keeping your core engaged. Hold for 5 seconds and then return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. Repeat 10 times on each side.

Plank pose: Start in a push-up position with your forearms on the ground. Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. Hold for 30 seconds.

Deadlift: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend at the hips, keeping your back straight. Bend your knees as needed to reach the weight with your hands. Keep your back straight and lift the weight up to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

Lat pulldown: Attach a lat pulldown bar to a high pulley. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the bar with an overhand grip. Pull the bar down to your chest and then slowly release it back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

Seated row: Attach a rope attachment to a low pulley. Sit on a weight bench with your feet flat on the floor and grasp the rope with an overhand grip. Pull the rope towards your chest and then slowly release it back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

These exercises can be done 2-3 times per week. It is important to listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain.

These exercise are generic so please consult you medical professional if you are experiencing any back pain.
