"Studies show that, when it comes to back pain, moving can be a vital part of the healing process. Usually this can be achieved with exercises, stretches and manual therapy. But most stretches recommended for back pain don't exercise the bottom part of the back.
That's where seated salsa comes in. To perform the exercise, sit up straight with your feet firmly planted on the floor. Bring your legs together so that your thighs are running parallel with each other. Then, while keeping your shoulders absolutely still, push your right knee forwards while pulling your left knee back. Then switch so that your left knee goes forward and your right knee goes back. Your pelvis should roll forwards on one side and back on the other side, just like in a traditional salsa dance. Repeat this movement for one minute."
Lower back pain is a chronic condition that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. A simple exercise could be a big help.
