Back pain relief


Things that helped me besides stretching are:
       
  • 10 mins of prayer and spiritual reading every other day. No I do not go
        to any Guru. Just at home/ on the road , gym or where ever I get the
        time.
     
  •   
  • worry less. Planning and time management help. and accepting that not
        everything is in our control and that not everyone is going to like
        us. A good attitude.

          
  • Including 15 minutes of humor everyday { comics, friends with a nice sense of
        hunor (thank-you folks.) Include 10 mins of fun in your life. 

          
  • Exercise every day 15 minutes of stretching + 40 minutes of either swimming,
        walking, aerobics or slow jogging. (Plan for change time. Wear good
        shoes.) OR at least 5 days a week. If you skip one day do the next for sure.
     

  • Sleeping well, on a flat bed. No mattress. I removed the mattress and put a
        "chattai" and a thick sheet on my bed flat wooden bed. Switch off WIFI and mobile on silent and aeroplane mode is good.
       
  • For upto 15 days, had raw til oil (sesame / gingerly oil, get the good quality one). (Directions: put a table spoon, raw, on your rice,
        toast or roti and eat with your vegetables/ gravy). Don’t have more for days without a break of 2-3 months.
          
  • Ayurvedic massage for 10 days and following the diet and medicine
        plan they gave for 50 days. It helped a lot. With a combination of
        the exercise, stretches, physiotherapy for 2 weeks, sesame oil  time
        management and fun elements.
