Fast back pain relief can be accomplished by using deep breathing on a daily basis. It is well known that we do not breathe deeply enough. We tend to breathe only in the upper part of our lungs. Upper respiratory breathing does not oxygenate our blood well enough to remove toxins. By removing toxins from the body with deep breathing, you will reduce pain. In addition, deep breathing not only helps to remove toxins but it also helps to relax your tense muscles. Below you will find 11 steps for deep breathing. You should start to notice a difference in your pain level right away by following these steps carefully. 1. Get a tape measure or a string that will go around your waist. 2. Lie down on your back. Try not to use pillows under your head. Pillows can obstruct your air passages. If you need to relieve stress on your back, you can put a pillow under your knees. 3. Be aware of your breathing. Do not try to breath in any special way. Ask yourself. - How much air am I inhaling? - Am I breathing only in the upper part of my chest? - Am I taking in a breath that fills my abdomen? - Is my breathing consistent? - Do I forget to take a breath? 4. Now, put the tape measure or string under your back and bring it around to the front of your belly button. Hold it loosely with one hand. 5. Take a deep, deep breath. - What is happening to the tape measure? - Is it expanding from where you are holding it? 6. Lie down on your back. Try not to use pillows under your head. Pillows can obstruct your air passages. Your waist and abdomen should be expanding. If this is not the case, inhale a little more air. Even if you think you have taken in all the air you can, take in a little more air. You can do it. When you take your first deep breath doing this exercise, you will probably have room to take in more air. As you continue this deep, deep breathing, you will become more accustomed to inhaling and filling your lungs to capacity. It will become a habit, and you will feel better. Another tip regarding really filling your lungs with a deep breath is to expand the rib cage. Watch a new born baby breathe. It fills its abdomen and expands its rib cage when inhaling. 7. Now there is another aspect to this deep breathing. After you have inhaled deeply, you need to exhale completely. When you think you have exhaled all the air in your lungs, push out a little more air. 8. Start the exercise lying on your back as indicated previously. Inhale deeply and exhale deeply. Feel your body relax. Do this deep breathing at least 7 times. 9. After taking 7 deep breaths while lying on your back, turn over on your left side and take 10 more deep breaths. You should notice when you exhale that different parts of your body will relax more than when you were lying on your back. You may want to place a small pillow under your head so that it aligns your head with the vertebrae in your neck. 10. After doing the exercise on your left side, do it while lying on your right side. 11. Use a journal to record how you felt after doing this exercise. Make notes on how you have felt during the day after the deep breathing exercise. Ask yourself these questions: - Do I have more energy? - Am I more relaxed? - Has my pain eased? - Do I still need to take a nap? - Do I need to lie down to rest as I usually do? Take note of any changes you are experiencing in your daily life. You should experience fast back pain relief and arthritis pain relief as soon as you start the breathing exercises. Don't wait another minute to stop your pain. The Best of Health
