I have problems with my lower back. If I don´t take care of myself my lower back starts to ache. In dance class I have to be super aware of how I align myself. Cause otherwise I feel it in my lower back the day after. Many of us have lower back issues and no wonder, It has to work hard for us keeping us straight. Strengthening your abdominal and the lower back muscles is a good start. And if makes us become aware of that specific area.

What can we do to help ourselves.. and what might be some of the reasons for lower back aches and pains..

The long winter is over, spring has come and gone and now summer is here in the East. I cannot be happier about it. Still the winter has taken its toll on the body. Cold temperatures can make us tight in our chest and between the shoulder blades. This can make it a little tighter for our lungs to breath deep. And who does not want to be able to breath in as much of these lovely summer fragrances of flowers and blossoms all around us. Then again, the garbage and other more nasty smells of NY is a different area of smells.
