Modern Common Disease: Causes and symptoms of back pain

One of the most widespread conditions in modern times is back pain. In a survey, more than 60 percent of people said they had suffered from back pain in the past twelve months. Lower back pain is twice as common as upper back pain.¹

Typical symptoms of back pain include:

• Muscle Pain
• Bone Pain
• Power Reduction
• Tingling in the Hands
• The pain that moves into the leg
• Tension
• Signs of paralysis (in this case, a visit to the doctor is essential!)

Doctors also classify back pain as specific or non-specific:

• Specific back pain: This is the term used by doctors to describe complaints in which a cause can be found that is most likely responsible for the pain (e.g. herniated disc, fractured vertebra, vertebral joint arthrosis).
• Non-specific back pain: In this case, no clear triggers are found that could cause the pain. Most of the time, these complaints are only temporary.

Targeted Training Against the Pain: That's What Makes the EMS Workout Simply Better

A EMS workout is very well suited for targeted training against back pain and, according to studies, it is comparably effective as conventional back training.². The special advantages of EMS in this case are:

• The simultaneous training of large muscle groups enables the balancing of muscular imbalances.
• Deep muscle training of the back is possible.
• Also, muscle areas that are otherwise difficult to train are reached with EMS.
• Refraining from using additional weights protects the joints.

Simple movements with great effect: EMS exercises for your Back

With EMS you can train all muscle groups of your body effectively. Especially for a targeted back training, this innovative method is perfect. Find out in the next sections which exercises are particularly effective in this regard.

Which exercises help with upper and lower back problems?

Whether weight training or Superman - in the classic back school there are many good exercises that can help to prevent back pain. But let's be honest: Most of the time, you don't take the time... and if there are already complaints, exercising is twice as hard.

This is exactly where EMS training offers a real alternative: In the myostyle Smart App you will find a professionally developed training program for the back. Simply select and follow the video!

With EMS training, you strengthen not only the back, but also the entire core muscles, i.e. the back muscles and their counterparts, the abdominal muscles. After all, weak abdominal muscles can also lead to back problems.

Most important: strengthening your core muscles, the deep muscles around the spine and pelvis that stabilize and support your body during all movements in everyday life.

Thanks to myostyle's innovative mid-frequency technology, the training impulses penetrate particularly deep into the tissue and reach - highly efficiently and without additional stress on the joints - even the core muscles, which are otherwise hardly trained by those who do not exercise.

The strengthening of the lumbar spine as a training goal

Lumbar spine refers to the lower part of the spine, more precisely the 5 vertebrae above the sacrum and coccyx. It is one of the regions that particularly often cause discomfort - this is often referred to as lumbar spine syndrome or lumbar syndrome.

Due to the upright gait of humans, the lumbar spine is exposed to high stress: After all, it has to support the entire torso when standing and walking. Targeted training of the trunk muscles can help prevent pain or reduce existing pain.

And yet the same dilemma can be seen here: classic back training recommendations such as the standing scale or exercises with the ergoball often have a discouraging or unmotivating effect on many people.

That's where the myostyle Smart App comes in, guiding you through a quick, healthy exercise program for your back - just 2 x 20 minutes a week is all it takes!

Strengthen your back with EMS and prevent back pain

The EMS is an ideal training method, especially for the back, to strengthen the muscles in a targeted manner and, ideally, to prevent back pain from occurring in the first place. To strengthen the back, an EMS suit gives you the opportunity to train anywhere, regardless of location, and above all to address the most important muscle groups that matter.

Clinic studies describe EMS as a very time-efficient and effective measure against back pain.³.

Now your back training is always everywhere you want

What's great about the EMS suits is that they give you the possibility to train totally independent of place and time. myostyle offers you top-modern suits for use at home. Turn your living room into a workout room, because with myostyle your back training is always where you want it.
