1. Spinal decompression how it helps – spinal decompression should be the very first thing you do to treat a herniated or bulging disc because it essentially creates space between your vertebrae, and thus takes pressure off the discs. How to do it – use a bar or the top of a door (or anything you can hang from) and allow your body to “just hang”. – hang for 30 seconds and do 3 sets. – release very slowly from this so as not to cause any spasms. ** this should not cause any pain. If you feel pain during it is not a good one for you. In that case, stop and try some of the other exercises below instead. 2. Standing extension how it helps – this standing extension helps reverse what you do on a daily basis (hunching)… since most bulging discs and herniated discs are caused by poor posture and repeated flexion of the spine (esp bending fwd in bad posture), this stretch helps push the disc back to neutral position. How to do it – begin this exercise by standing up with good posture. Now take both hands and place them on both sides of your lower back. Now with the help of your hands push your pelvis forward and extend your spine back. Follow the extension with your neck so that you end up facing the ceiling. – start with 10 repetitions and do 2-3 sets. – this one is particularly great to do when you need a break from sitting at your desk. ** this should not cause any pain. If you feel pain during it is not a good one for you. In that case, stop and try some of the other exercises below instead. 3. Half cobra pose (prone lumbar extension) how it helps – the half cobra stretch helps to push the disc material back towards the center of the inter-vertebral disc to allow for improved healing. The goal of repeated lower back extension is the “centralization of symptoms”, which basically means pain that travels down the affected leg to the foot should come back up closer to the low back – which will in turn alleviate the pain. How to do it – begin this exercise by lying on your stomach (prone position) and slowly prop yourself up on your elbows while keeping your hips in contact with the floor. – hold the prop-up position for 10-15 seconds before returning to the prone position (lying face down). – gradually increase to holding the end position for 30 seconds. Aim for 10 repetitions of this stretch. ** initially, you may not be able to tolerate this position very well, so make sure you start slowly and carefully. If there’s any pain, try a different exercise instead. 4. Full cobra pose (advanced extension) how it helps – this stretch is based on the same principle as the half cobra pose above. This advanced extension helps to push disc material back towards the center of the intervertebral disc, with the goal of alleviating pain symptoms. How to do it – once you’ve mastered the half cobra pose, you can increase the difficulty by moving to the advanced version of this stretch. Begin this exercise by lying on your stomach in the prone position (lying facing down) and slowly press up on your hands while keeping your pelvis in contact with the floor and lower back relaxed. – hold the prop-up position for 10 seconds. Aim for 10 repetitions of this stretch. – eventually try to hold this pose for longer if it feels good (20-30 seconds). ** if you feel pain during this exercise, it is not a good one for you. In that case, stop and try some of the other exercises instead. 5. Cat-cow how it helps – this is one of the most popular herniated disc exercises. By combining two yoga poses, the cat-cow stretch can help to relieve pressure on the herniated disc by opening the intervertebral disc space. It also improves mobility of the spine, which may help to relieve disc herniation pain and speed recovery. How to do it – begin this stretch on your hands and knees. Inhale and let your stomach “drop” towards the floor as you look up towards the ceiling. – follow this by exhaling and slowly rounding your spine while pressing into the floor with your hands and slightly curving your neck to look at your feet. – aim for 10 repetitions of this stretch and do 2-3 sets. How it helps – this exercise will help strengthen and stabilize your lower back and deep spine muscles. This will help you to maintain a good posture and avoid future episodes of herniated discs. How to do it: – begin on your hands and knees with your hands positioned under your shoulders and knees positioned under your hips. – raise your left arm and reach it forwards until it is aligned with your torso; at the same time, kick your right leg backwards until is it aligned with your torso. – hold this position for 2-3 seconds before slowly returning to the starting position. – repeat with your right arm and left leg. – alternate sides for 10 repetitions and do 2-3 sets. ** ensure that your head, neck, and back maintain a neutral alignment to minimize stress on your neck. Plank: how it helps – just like the bird dog, this “core” exercise will help bring your pelvis into right position by strengthening the deep spinal muscles and glutes (butt muscles). How to do it – begin lying on your stomach with your forearms against the mat. – engage your core and lift your body so that you are resting on your forearms and toes. – start with 10 second holds and work up to 30 second holds, do 2-3 sets. ** ensure to keep your back straight throughout the entire exercise – spine in neutral position. Thoracic expansion if you’re using a chair, sit facing forward and allow your upper body to fall over the back of the chair. Extend your arms above your head for a deeper stretch. Hold either position for 10 seconds and release. Repeat 3 times. .sitting spinal stretch sciatica pain is triggered when vertebrae in the spine compress. This stretch helps create space in the spine to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. 1.sit on the ground with your legs extended straight out with your feet flexed upward. 2.bend your right knee and place your foot flat on the floor on the outside of your opposite knee. 3.place your left elbow on the outside of your right knee to help you gently turn your body toward the right. 4.hold for 30 seconds and repeat three times, then switch sides. 6. Standing hamstring stretch this stretch can help ease pain and tightness in the hamstring caused by sciatica. 1.place your right foot on an elevated surface at or below your hip level. This could be a chair, ottoman, or step on a staircase. Flex your foot so your toes and leg are straight. If your knee tends to hyperextend, keep a slight bend in it. 2.bend your body forward slightly toward your foot. The further you go, the deeper the stretch. Do not push so far that you feel pain. 3.release the hip of your raised leg downward as opposed to lifting it up. If you need help easing your hip down, loop a yoga strap or long exercise band over your right thigh and under your left foot. 4.hold for at least 30 seconds, and then repeat on the other sideif you have low back pain and sciatica you can undergo intermittent pelvic traction where in your half of your body weight will be added in the electronic traction so that that would help you to reduce the pain, along with interferential therapy stimulations which would help you to get relieved from the radiating pain. Apply ice for the pain to get subsided immediately. If you cannot go immediately for the physiotherapy treatment. Ice can be kept in the low back where you have back pain. It is suggestible to wear lumbo sacral belt which would help you to build the abdominal muscle tone which itself would make you feel better. You can also wear mcr chappals which would help you to have less weight falling in the painful back. U have to take vitamin d rich foods. Likemilk, cheese, yogurt, brocoli, spinach. U need calcium consumption for increase the bone density. Lackof bone and bones crush inside the body vitamin d intake via supplements or exposure to low levels of sunlight. Vitamin d is used to absorb calcium in the bone and regulate calcium in the blood.this might be due to low calcium or vitamin d which has more impact on the bone density and also it makes one to feel that there is lack of bone strength or in a way the bones are brittle and almost breaking and they feel it is crushed in a way there are many bones breaking at the same time. You have to take vitamin d rich foods. Likemilk, cheese, yogurt, brocoli, spinach. U need calcium consumption for increase the bone density. The best core exercises kindly consult doctor regarding your pain if there is less pain kindly do these exercises to get rid of your pain–bridgethis pose activates your glutes to lift your hips. This trains your core while toning your butt and thighs. Start on your back. Bend your knees and plant your feet on the floor at hip width. Place your hands at your sides, palms down. Tighten your core and glutes. Raise your hips until your knees are in line with your shoulders. Hold for 10–30 seconds. Crunch crunches are a classic core-strengthening move. The act of lifting your upper body works your abdominal muscles. If you have low back pain, do crunches with care. Move slowly and start with just a few reps. Start on your back. Bend your knees and plant your feet on the floor at hip width. Line up your head and spine. Cross your arms across your chest. Tighten your core and relax your neck and shoulders. Tuck in your chin and lift your upper back, keeping your lower back, pelvis, and feet on the floor. Pause. Slowly lower your upper back to return to the starting position. Start with 1 set of 8–12 reps. Plank the plank is a full-body exercise that targets your core. It also strengthens your arms, shoulders, back, glutes, and legs. Start on all fours, with your hands below your shoulders and your knees below your hips. Straighten your legs behind you, keeping your feet hip-width apart. Tighten your core. Hold for 10–30 seconds. To make this exercise easier, place your knees on the floor. Supine toe tap the supine toe tap is a basic pilates exercise. It engages your core muscles while working your glutes, hips, and legs. Toe taps also place minimal pressure on your spine. If you have back pain, toe taps may be an ideal alternative to crunches. Start on your back. Lift your legs, knees bent to 90 degrees. Place your hands at your sides, palms down. Tighten your core. Lower your right foot and gently tap the floor, keeping your left leg still and your back flat. Raise your right leg to return to the starting position. Repeat with your left leg.

Physiotherapy and exercise - psoriatic arthritis therapeutic exercises therapeutic exercises are activities based on your exact needs. They are designed to reach a certain goal, eg to increase muscle strength. There are two types used for arthritis: range of motion and strengthening. Range of motion exercises help to maintain joint movement, relieve stiffness and restore flexibility. To increase or maintain range and flexibility you need to take your joints and muscles to their limits. Range of movement exercises should be carried out daily. Strengthening exercises help maintain or increase muscle strength. To strengthen a muscle you need to apply resistance to the movement. This can be done using your own body weight, weights or resistance bands. Strengthening exercises should be performed on alternate days and not when a joint is hot (feels warm when touched) and painful unless you are supervised by a physiotherapist. The following exercises are just some examples to get you started. A health professional can design a programme for your specific needs. Fingers and hands 1. Forearm supported on a table, hand relaxed over the edge. Extend the wrist and clench your fist - relax and let your hand relax. Repeat ten times. 2. Clasp your hands together and support your forearms on a table with your hands over the edge. Bend your wrist up and down. Repeat five times. 3. Forearm on a table, elbow tucked in to your side and palm turned down. Alternately, turn your palm to face up, then down, keeping elbow still. Repeat ten times. 4. Elbow on table with hand up. Straighten your fingers out then bend them to touch your fingertips to the base of your fingers. Repeat ten times. 5. Palm on table. Lift each finger individually off the table. Repeat five times. 6. Elbow on table with hand up. Bring the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, repeat to other fingers in sequence. Repeat five times. Neck and back for the first three exercises sit up straight in a supportive chair, ie one with back support. 1. Tilt your head towards one shoulder until you feel the stretch on the opposite side. Hold for approximately five seconds. Repeat to the other side. 2. Turn your head to one side until you feel the stretch. Hold for approximately five seconds. Repeat to the other side. Repeat five times to each side. 3. Pull your chin in, keeping your neck and back straight (not tipping your head forwards). Hold at the end position and feel the stretch in your neck. Repeat five times. 4. Lie on your back with your hands on your stomach, legs bent at the knee, feet flat on the bed or floor. Tighten your stomach muscles to flatten your lower back against the bed. Hold for five seconds, repeat ten times. 5. Lie on your back as with the previous exercise. Keeping your shoulders down flat, slowly roll your knees from side to side. Hold for five seconds, repeat ten times. 6. Lie on your back as before. Push down through your heels to lift your bottom and lower back off the bed. Hold for five seconds, repeat ten times. Feet and toes 1. Press your toes down and shorten your foot by pulling up the arch on the inside of the foot. Repeat on the other foot. 2. Lie with your legs out straight and pull your feet up, then push your feet down. Repeat ten times. 3. Wiggle your toes. Repeat ten times. 4. Circle your feet around one way, then the other way. Repeat ten times. Hips and knees 1. Lie face down with both legs outstretched for five minutes. Then gently bend each knee to its limit, then relax with your legs straight. Repeat five times with a 30-second break. 2. Sit with your legs outstretched on a firm bed. Press each knee down onto the bed to straighten it. Hold for five seconds. Relax. Repeat five times. 3. Lie on your back with your knees bent up and feet flat on bed. Bend each knee in turn up to meet your stomach, straighten and lower to the bed. Repeat five times. Jaw gently open the mouth to its full width. Stretch a little and hold for five seconds. Then close your mouth completely. Repeat five times. Recreational exercise this type of exercise includes any form of movement or relaxation that refreshes the body and mind. Recreational exercises or activities improve your fitness and help maintain or improve joint range of motion and muscle strength. They add to a therapeutic programme but do not replace it. •swimming is a good all-round exercise that does not stress your joints. Psoriasis is not generally affected by the chlorine in swimming pool water, but if you find it becomes itchy when dry, apply some barrier cream before you swim and after your shower at the end. •walking is another good way of exercising. If your arthritis affects your feet make sure you wear a wellfitting pair of shoes, and insoles if they have been prescribed for you. •cycling can be an alternative to walking and is often more comfortable on the feet. •activities such as yoga, pilates and other complementary therapies may be beneficial for people with arthritis. Contact your local council offices or community centres for further information and details of classes or events.

This should relieve your leg or back pain. When you can lie on your stomach for 5 minutes without a pillow, then you can continue with the rest of this exercise.
