Nine Exercises to Build and Maintain a Healthy Spine

PLANO, Texas, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to educate people about spine health, Texas Back Institute shares "Nine for Your Spine." The release of these nine easy exercises coincides with National Spine Health Day, October 16, 2008.

National Spine Health Day was established to bring attention to and understanding about exercise as the most effective means of reducing the prevalence and severity of back pain.

strengthening the lumbar stabilizer muscles. Can be performed in any

neutral spine position (sitting, standing, walking, while working

out, etc.).

2. Press-up

Lie on the floor on your stomach, and place your hands in a push-up

position. Slowly push up with arms and allow the back to naturally

bend as if doing a standing back bend. Try to relax the lower back

as much as possible, and k
