The telework has not been compulsory since February 1, we are more and more numerous.Its to make our comeback to the office!It was time !As proof, the resurgence of traffic jams on road axes, in major cities ... Indeed, when workers used to stay at home, they are again forced (despite the sharp increase in the price of fuel fuel) to use their vehicle to get to business.
Sometimes long journeys to make and which often generate back pain.French leader in yoga, the Oly Be brand offers you 5 postures intended to relieve these pains here, postures to do quietly from home when I got back from the office and for some that do not require yoga carpet, even to do during the daysince his chair, as soon as the tensions are felt.
1.Stretch the psoas and flex the hips to release tensions
The prolonged sitting posture is conducive to the creation of tensions in hip flexors (including psoas).If these muscles are not regularly stretched, they prevent the basin from positioning itself properly and can cause poor posture and low back pain.How to stretch them: at home, lie on the ground, bent knees (the feet remain on the ground) then press the feet to lift the pelvis and slide a cushion under the basin.Rest your pelvis flat on the cushion.Stretch the two legs then bring a folded knee to the chest.The more the knee is in a hurry against you, the more the hunched leg flexors that have been stretched will stretch.Repeat the exercise on the other side.
2.Relieve with the cobra extension posture
At home, lie on your stomach.Place your hands on the ground, on each side of the chest.Press the hands loudly in the ground and imagine that the hands want to get closer to his hips.Maintain this engagement in the arms and start up the top of the bust.He takes off from the ground.Try to take your chest far forward, between the two arms.This extension of the column will be most beneficial in order to counter the flexion postures that we tend to take for long trips by car (like the vaulted back for example).
3.Make the column moving with the Side Bend position
In order to avoid back pain that often accompanies long car journeys, it is important to move the column in all possible directions.Lateral flexions will do a crazy good, in addition to restoring energy.It is possible, depending on the interior of his vehicle to do them by car, at the end of course!Take both arms as high as possible.Catch the right wrist with the left hand and lean to the left.It is important to keep weight in the right buttock and in the right hip.Repeat the exercise on the other side.
4.Relax your shoulders
During long journeys by car, or when you have meetings that last for hours and you are not lucky to have an ergonomic chair, tensions can appear in the shoulders, especially if you are tense onThe steering wheel or too vaulted on his table.It is therefore important to mobilize your shoulders in other directions and bring mobility back into the joint.The vehicle stopped (or on its office chair), put the right arm upward then fold the right elbow and go down the right hand as low as possible on your back.Bring the left arm behind you then fold the left elbow.Try to grab both hands.If it is not possible, grab your garment and walk your hands to each other.
5.Torse
Once at home, lie on the left side in a fetal position on the ground, knees folded.Keep your legs on the ground then open your right arm completely so as to have the chest and both shoulders facing the ceiling.Continue to keep your right hand away from you.Stay for a few moments and take great inspirations and long expirations in order to better feel the twist.This torsion of the column will be most beneficial in order to counter the flexion postures that we tend to take for long trips by car.Do not forget to achieve the same twist on the other side!A light dinner, a small relaxing herbal tea and you will be top the next day!
