Rajinold wants me to update......this one's for you, Raj!
Personal Trainer Case 24:
Identify the factors that effect low-back function. Recommend
activities and preventive measures to maintain a healthy back and
design a preventive and rehab program for low-back pain.
Answer:
Major factors that effect low back function include; posture, muscle
imbalances, poor flexibility, weak muscles, poor gait, incorrect
lifting technique, stress, sustained improper position, improper spine
alignment etc. Special concerns lie with abdominal and strength,
low back and hamstring flexibility, and posture. Prevention
requires education, strengthening and stretching, muscle balance,
proper movement and lifting technique, increased function and
ROM. Numerous stretches and strengthening exercises can help
attain a strong injury free low back. They should be included in
every training program.
Weekly goals to focus on:
- Supplements/Vitamins
- Triceps and Shoulders
- Hamstring
- Abs
- GLUTES!
