Back pains

  After a month of being home and my body healing from postpartum  my back was still weak. Let me give you a little background on me. I am very active person who doesn't sit still for too long. I love pushing myself to the limit and that is how I get in trouble with my body. I can't help it . 

   Well, you know where this is going. As soon as my back would start to feel better there I go doing what I shouldn't be doing because I think I'm super women and I got this.. yeah no .reality would strike me the next day pushing me back to days of pain.. wait to go superwomen.
O.k, I get it rest is what I have to do and omg it was the hardest few months of taking it easy.

   My back pain was from the top of my shoulder plaids to the lower middle of my back. My rib cage would hurt when I would stretch my arms up or lay on them. When I would lay on my back in between my shoulder plaids it would feel as though there was a ball of air, if that makes sense. Like you needed to pop it to release that tension. The worse pain was when I would ride in a car and we would hit a bump or something that would cause the vehicle to  jump up sending sharp pains down my spine. Painful it was.

  I had to do something to help my healing. I began to stretch every chance I got.
My favorite and effective stretch was doing a slight squad, dropping my upper body down forward and let it hang. You can touch the floor or wrap your arms on your elbows and drop your head. Release the muscles and let it hang. Sometimes my back will pop and it's scary at first. Hang as long as you can and when your done slowly roll you body up one vertebrae at a time. KEY thing to remember,  listen to your body and take it slowly. It's gonna take time but you will get stronger and flexible. I figured it out the more I sit still and do nothing the more my body aches and breaks down.  So my remedy is stay active even if it's just stretching it is still moving your body and rebuilding your strength.

  The hardest stretch was with the yoga ball where I would roll it on my back and hang there. It was always hard to get out of that stretch. Recommend you to do soft yoga and see where your body is at. It took me a month to be able to do yoga even the regular plank position was hard so you can see how bad I was. Child's pose was the only thing I was good at...
One day at a time don't get to bend out shape when you can do a certain stretch. You will eventually get there slowly but surely.  Your body is your temple so take it easy and help it heal.

1) soft yoga.
