Rocking knees to the chest

(60 seconds)

Rest, legs crooked, knees propped

together (30 seconds)

Reverse curl ups

(five times)

Rest

REPEAT BOTH EXERCISES 3 TIMES, TAKING CARE WHEN

RETURNING EACH LEG TO THE BED AFTERWARDS

Medication: intramuscular pethidine followed by muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) tablets administered only by your doctor. Rest in bed. Repeat treatment regimen every 2 to 3 hours through the day or less often if you are sleepy from the drugs. When commencing the rocking exercise, always lift one leg to your chest at a time, drawing in your tummy and pelvic floor. The legs are very heavy and if you try hauling both up together you will jerk your back and set off another seizure of pain. See Chapter 7 for description of all exercises and the correct way to do them.

For how long? If you can begin the medication soon enough while doing the exercises for acute locked back, you may be able to start the sub-acute treatment by the next morning.

A typical self-treatment for sub-acute locked back Purpose:

Ease muscle spasm to relieve compression on the disc, disperse joint inflammation and swelling, strengthen tummy and switch off overactive erector spinae muscles, gap open the back of the spine to decompress the facet joints and introduce pressure changes to the disc, and strengthen transversus abdominus to provide core stability.
