How to soothe lower back pain?

I ruined my back lifting heavy gym weights with bad form last month. What actually helped me recover was stopping all heavy lifting and doing gentle core-strengthening movements daily. Don't sit in one place for more than an hour, keep moving around.

Complete bed rest actually makes back stiffness worse in the long run. If your doctor has cleared you, try going for short, gentle walks on a flat surface to keep the spine mobile. Doing basic glute bridges and hamstring stretches can also help relieve the lower back pull.

I know lower back pain can make even standing up feel like a massive task, but don't worry, it usually gets better. Apply a soothing ointment and rest on a firm mattress rather than a very soft sofa. If the pain shoots down your leg or you feel numbness, please see a doctor immediately.

I totally agree with improving posture; using an ergonomic lumbar support cushion on my office chair cured my chronic lower back ache.

Suno, din bhar bed par aade-tede hokar phone chalana band karo, aadha back pain toh posture ki wajah se hi hai. Seedhe baithne ki aadat dalo aur thoda garm paani ki thaili se sek karo. Agar do din mein aaram nahi aata, toh orthopedic doctor ko dikhao.
