Back pain is a fairly common problem in modern man, and for many, pain and discomfort become a real source of torment, making normal life impossible. This is especially felt when the pain passes to other organs and areas - the neck or lower back. Trainers for the back, spine and special exercises can help with this.
Back pain
The problems of pain in the back, spine and neck in our century have become characteristic of people of all ages, this also applies to fairly young people. And this, in turn, affects the performance and self-confidence.
Of course, if such pain occurred, then self-medication should not be done, it is necessary to consult a doctor without delay. The specialist will clearly determine the cause of the pain and prescribe treatment with appropriate drugs or exercise. Often, simulators for the back and spine are combined with drug therapy.
Although doctors prescribe visits to physiotherapy rooms, for exercise during treatment, and to maintain shape after it, you can make your own exercise machines for the back.
What simulators are needed
Often, with pathologies of the spine, experts recommend stretching and relaxing it. Following this technique, exercises are performed on stretching the spinal column, as well as on its immobilization. As a rule, such procedures are performed under physiological conditions with the help of special medical devices, but sometimes for such purposes you can use home exercise machines for the back and spine.
One of these devices is the crossbar, which can be easily made with your own hands.
It is also possible to make special inclined boards with your own hands for performing exercises and stretching according to the type of a board of Dr. Evminov (prophylactic). This simulator for the back and spine is intended for those who, for various reasons, find it difficult to work in an upright position.
Materials and special instructions
The simulator for the back (spine) with your own hands should be made of natural materials, if we are talking about a device made of wood. This is due to the fact that for safety reasons such a simulator must support the weight of the person who will be engaged in it. That is, it must be durable, and the best material for the manufacture of, for example, a portable inclined device will be a solid wooden board.
If the inclined simulators for the back and spine are made stationary, then it is worth taking care of a strong metal frame, on the basis of which a wooden base will be fixed.
Also, a strong metal pipe and its fasteners should be selected for the manufacture of the crossbar. The pipe is suitable from strong alloys, which will easily allow it to support the weight of the hanging.
The crossbar is a necessary assistant
The crossbar is the simplest device that helps to extend the spinal column in all its segments. In order to make such a simulator for the back (spine), the photo of which is presented below, you will not need special skills and tools, it can easily be mounted at home.
A crossbar is installed, as a rule, in the doorway, unfastening itself on the opposite walls. Depending on the fixtures, it can be stationary or removable.
Classes of people on the crossbar who have problems with the back (spine) usually consist of simple exercises in the hanging position for thirty seconds three to five times a day. You can also perform circular rotations with your feet, or simply rotate them alternately to the right and left. Such movements can not only stretch the entire spinal column, but also strengthen the lumbar.
However, it should be remembered that if pain occurs, you must immediately stop the session and visit your doctor.
Inclined board manufacturing
In order to make such a simulator for the back (spine), you need to take a board and polish its surface well. The upper edge is firmly fixed at a height of about one meter thirty centimeters from the floor and at an angle of forty-five degrees to its surface. For more comfortable activities, you can arrange a soft base on the board, wrapping it with several layers of fabric and covering it with something durable, for example, leather substitute.
To the upper edge of the simulator-board you need to firmly fasten several straps, it is better if they are 40 cm long and wide enough. The main condition is the convenience of their use, so that the exercises can be done independently, without the help of outsiders. For those who are able to hold hands, the straps can not be done, but build handrails, processing them so that they do not slip.
Therapeutic exercises on an inclined simulator are performed lying on your back or stomach. They consist in the fact that the patient, having previously inserted into the straps of the hands, relaxes the muscles of the body as much as possible, which leads to sagging. For a comfortable position, a small cushion or pillow is placed under the knees in the supine position or under the lower legs in the abdomen position.
After consulting a specialist, you can add to the sagging turns of the legs bent at the knees to the sides.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can say that some back problems can be successfully solved by a simulator for the spine. Healthy back is a guarantee of good health, so you should not delay with the manufacture of the device and the implementation of exercises.
But you also need to remember that independent exercises can only be started after consultation with the attending physician in order to avoid complications from improper exercises and loads. It is also necessary to go to an appointment with a specialist, which may be a vertebrologist or orthopedic traumatologist. If you use the wrong tactics of exercise, you can not only not help a sore back, but also cause irreparable harm to it. In addition, a painful back can indicate diseases of other organs.
