Exercises for the back
Just like the cervical spine, or rather the neck, the rest of the spine has to withstand enormous strain every day. In combination with an unhealthy posture and untrained trunk muscles, this often leads to muscle tension and back pain. First and foremost, this should be counteracted by appropriate training of the trunk muscles.
However, fascial rolls can also be of great benefit and provide relief by loosening and relaxing both the muscles and the fascia. In principle, every section of the spine can be treated with one and the same technique. To do this, it is best to start by standing with your back against an empty wall surface and bending your legs.
The Blackroll is then clamped horizontally between the back and the wall exactly above the spine. By repeatedly bending and stretching the legs, the roll is then moved up and down. The intensity of this exercise can easily be varied by the distance between the feet and the wall.
However, the highest intensity is achieved by doing the same exercise lying down. Furthermore, the lateral back can also be trained from the lower rib base to the armpits. The exercise follows the same principle described above.
Please note that especially the exercises for the back are often painful at the beginning, depending on the degree of tension. However, regular use of the Blackroll will make the tissue increasingly supple and the various exercises more comfortable.
