If your posture begins to fail–if you start to collapse forward with your heavy head leading the way–you will begin to have muscle pain in your lower, mid and upper back and also in your neck and head. Maybe even in your arms and hands.
That is not a good thing.
But, if you strengthen your back muscles, they will keep you from collapsing forward. How cool is that!
You can strengthen your back muscles by doing resistance exercises.
If you are a big strong man you might prefer to go to the gym or lift weights. That is absolutely fine if you are careful to lift perfectly. If you are lifting more weight than you can while moving perfectly, you are lifting too much and you aren’t using your muscles properly. That means the potential for injury or strain and pain.
I used to work with a competitive body builder and she said if you can only do one repetition perfectly, then only do one. You can add more when you can do them perfectly.
If you are NOT a big strong man, you may prefer to use the methods to get a strong back that I prefer. I have written lots of articles about getting strong simply while you are on your back in bed at
I designed the movements that I talk about in most of the articles so that anyone can do them. Even you and me. 🙂
You do have a smart body and it wants to be well. It just needs a little help from you.
I’ll bet I told you before: You can’t hire someone to do your push-ups for you. But I do try to make it easy for you to have natural muscle pain relief.
