2 Reasons why you should still walk with low back pain...

​
​In this episode Tony is answering a question that was submitted.  The question was should you walk if you have low back pain?!  He is going to discuss 2 reasons why you should still walk with low back pain:

1.  Walking will stretch the muscles that are going to support your spine.  It is going to increase your stability and the movement of your spine so that you have a healthy spine. It will also increase the blood flow which will increase the oxygen that goes to your muscles around your spine!  Walking will increase the nutrients that are going to go to your spine to keep it healthy.  Increasing the blood flow from walking you are going to flush out any toxins that are going to be building up in the muscles surrounding your spine.  
2. Walking is going to increase the flexibility in your low back.  If you don’t walk you will become more stiff.  You will have increased pressure on your spine because your spine and muscles won't move as much.  The pressure will be very constant; it won't disperse the forces in your back at all.  Walking is good to reduce or maintain any kind of weight that you have.  It is good to keep your blood pressure under control, helps monitor or keep your cholesterol levels in check.
