Postpartum back pain can be very severe for new mothers, becoming a major obstacle in their lives, especially when the newborn needs it the most. Gynecologist Dr Amrita Saha of Government Medical College, Kannauj, UP, says that during pregnancy the lower part of the spine is pulled forward, putting pressure on the entire back and causing back pain. Even incorrect posture when sitting or standing during pregnancy can be a cause of back pain, as well as hormonal changes. Therefore, according to the doctor, a little yoga during pregnancy can be beneficial. However, if it persists, she tries these five yoga asanas for relief:
Bhujangasana:
Shashank Gupta, a yoga trainer from Delhi, advises that this yoga pose can relieve back pain. You have to make a posture similar to that of a snake rising up. Lie on your stomach, bring your feet together in a straight line, and lift yourself back up.
Hanumanasana:
This yoga asana can also help straighten the spine. To do this, kneel on the yoga mat and keep a distance between your knees. Place your right leg forward and your left leg back, keeping your heel flat on the ground. Then try leaning your torso forward and touching your fingers to the floor.
Hip Opening:
This asana is good for improving blood circulation. Opening the hip helps loosen the hip bones. If your hip bones are weak or you find it difficult to sit or stand up, try this exercise.
Falkasana:
This exercise also strengthens the muscles of the shoulders, back and waist. To perform the asana, lie face down and maintain some distance between your legs. Then, on your hands, try to rise slowly as you exhale and keep your feet on the ground and your soles up.
