NZ Manufacturing, Inc., a leader in high-quality resistance training and physical rehabilitation tools, promotes resistance exercise as a low-impact method of strengthening back muscles. Through flexibility and strengthening exercises, a strong, well-conditioned back can withstand stress, protect the spine, avoid injury and relieve the pain of many back conditions.
Studies show that 80% of Americans are affected by back pain at some point during their lives. In fact, back pain is the second most common neurological ailment, the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor of missed employment in the United States. Generally occurring between the ages of 30 and 50, back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp spasm.
While back pain is often caused by muscle strain or injury, it also can be a result of disc degeneration, disease, infection and/or an inherited condition. Whatever the case, weak muscles are often at the root of the problem, since they – along with the abdomen and buttocks – support the spine and keep it in proper alignment.
Regular resistance exercises – like those performed with theMediCordz® Bungie Upper Body and Back Kit from NZ Manufacturing-canhelp prevent back pain by strengthening the spinal column. Used with rowing and other back-muscle exercises, the MediCordz Bungie Upper Body and Back Kitstrengthens the upper body to help prevent injuries, improve strength and flexibility, and even rehabilitate back muscles. These low-impact, uncomplicated resistance exercises encourage controlled and progressive strengthening motions, and can be performed easily at home. However, NZ Manufacturing recommends always talking to a doctor before initiating any exercise program.
