Discover Why You Have To Do Spinal Decompressions
Your spinal column is possibly the most vital structure in your body, therefore it is important to look after it. Your backbone gets voluminous compression from day-to-day activities, gravity and general life. In addition, the supplementary compression you give it with strength training and you better start decompressing it.
Backbone health is really important, and I'm willing to bet that nearly everyone of you have back trouble presently. I myself hurt my lower back more or less a year ago, and this is one of the methods I utilized to regain it to 99% (yet occasionally gets tight or sore). I'll do a comprehensive post on why you have back trouble and how to correct it soon. Meanwhile, read this without further ado.
What you want to do is follow an easy decompression process that helps to keep your spinal column well and mobile by helping it decompress to its original length.
Here's all you need to know...
How To Execute Spine Decompressions
You'll need a pull-up bar to do your decompressions. After you have that piece of equipment, there's two ways to go about this:
1. Get Gravity Boots: This is the method that I use. These are boots that you strap onto your ankles and have hooks on them so you can hang upside down from your pullup bar safely and allow your spine to decompress. I use Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots. An added bonus is that with these boots I can do inverted sit ups for my abs and other cool "upside down" exercises.
2. Hang With Your Hands: This is simple. Basically hang from your pull-up bar and loosen all your muscles-hold it for as long as possible. The longer you hang the better shoot for no less than 5 minutes and build up from there. You most likely can't hang that long, so here's
How To Hang On Longer With Your Hands
The longer you hang the better, though your grip will most likely give out. While I would never suggest making use of lifting straps for your usual lifting, I recommend them for decompressions since it will allow you to grip longer. Prefer nylon-type lifting straps or lifting hook straps since they're extra strong.
How To Ease Your Muscles So Your Backbone Decompresses
Your muscles need to be calm in order for your spinal column to decompress (staying tight won't help). Here's what to do whether you're making use of the gravity boots method or the hanging from your hands method:
* Get down the pull-up bar
* Take a deep breath and sustain it
* Tighten up your whole body (focus on abs, glutes and make fists)
* Hold your whole body tense for 5 seconds
* Give it all off, your breath and the whole stiffness. Take it easy
When you do this you'll feel your whole body relaxing and you'll probably "drop" down a little bit. You'll probably feel your back decompressing, especially the first few times.
How Frequent You Must Decompress
Every day is great. Though I have to admit that I don't do it day by day always. But you certainly should aim to do it as much as possible. If you get tired hanging upside down you can read a book or something. It's great to do these right after your strength training sessions, right after your settle down-think of it as a part of your cooldown. - 17274
