Posture and Back Pain Part #2

One of the things to know about back pain is that the body will do whatever it has to do to keep you moving. This may result in you not actually moving as you were intended to move which results in pain.

Another form of exercise which is often helpful in back pain is tai chi. This is sometimes described as meditation in motion. The gentle movements work on balance and include deep breathing. These movements help balance the body and free up movement.

You can start by taking a few lessons from a tai chi master and then you can work at home with a DVD once you know the basic movements.
