Yoga For Back Pain In Modern Man

Why is Back pain becoming more and more common in modern man?

There are four major factors that go with the modern life style that are responsible for this increasing problem of back pain.

1. Muscles are weaker than our ancestors.

Modern technological advances has made life easy with tools, aids, gadgets and ever renewed transport facilities (cars and aeroplanes) that have drastically reduced the need for physical activity. Today's life style can be managed most efficiently without using our muscles. Every thing can happen by pressing a button on a P.C. or a Palm top. This is responsible for lesser stamina in the muscles all over the body in general and the strong thick postural muscles of the spine in particular.

We know that it is regular activity that keeps any skeletal muscle strong and sturdy. The muscle power and stamina goes on increasing with increasing movement done in a systematically graded manner with enough rest in between. This is the principle used in any body building programme. Once the physical activity level reduces the muscles start becoming weaker and weaker.
