Straighten Your Back:

Postural gymnastics is crucial for improving back health and preventing chronic posture-related problems. Regularly performing specific exercises at home can significantly enhance overall well-being. Here are some effective exercises to straighten your back:

1. Plank

The plank strengthens the entire body, engaging the abdominals and back muscles. Hold the position with your body in a straight line from head to toes for one minute or longer.

2. Leg Lifts

Lie on your back, slowly lift your legs off the floor, and lower them without touching the ground. This exercise strengthens the abdominal and lower back muscles.

3. Back Stretch

Kneel with your buttocks on your heels and extend your arms forward. This helps stretch the back and reduce muscle tension.

4. Torso Rotation

Sit with your feet on the ground, rotate your torso from side to side while keeping your spine straight and your abs contracted.

5. Breathing Exercises

Proper diaphragmatic breathing can improve posture and relax back muscles. Practice deep breathing daily, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.

6. Cervical Exercises

Tilt your neck from side to side and perform rotations clockwise and counterclockwise to improve upper back posture.

7. Dorsal Exercises

Bring your hands behind your back and clasp them together, pushing your chest forward to improve dorsal posture.

8. Lumbar Exercises

Lie on your back, hug your legs with your arms keeping your knees bent, and rock on your spine. This exercise effectively strengthens the lower back.
