Back Extensions Exercise

by: John Gibb

If you’re looking for a way to strengthen your lower back, back extensions may be the exercise for you. If you’ve recently injured your back you’ll want to consult your physician before attempting such an exercise. If you find this exercise is a bit too challenging for you at first, you can start out in an incline positioned until you are more comfortable with the exercise. Or, if you find this exercise too easy for you, you can do it in a declined position or use platted weights in front of the chest or behind the neck.

For this exercise you will either need a back extension machine, or a bench that allows you to securely position your feet so that the rest of your body won’t move during the exercise. You will be lying on your front side and everything about an inch below your hips should be on the bench or back extension machine.

From this position fold your arms across your chest. Now, begin the movement by bending at the waist. You should continue this movement until you feel you’ve reached the full motion of your range. This will be different for everyone, so it’s up to you to determine. From here, raise your body back up slowly and hold your body at this position for a second. Repeat this movement to meet your specifications.

Massage Los Angeles

by: Caroline Colby

Massage therapy has been used in many cultures for thousands of years. Massage is the systemized manipulation of soft tissues to relieve pain, instill a feeling of well being and normalize tissue position. Los Angeles, always a hotbed of exciting ideas, has been an area with a thriving massage therapy industry for years.

Searching the Los Angeles yellow pages under for massage therapists can yield an interesting selection of businesses. Chiropractors, often the most conventional massage providers, abound in the metropolitan area. Many provide traditional chiropractic manipulation and massage therapies in combined treatment plans.

Prenatal and baby massage is becoming more and more popular and chic in the Los Angeles area. Prenatal massage therapy relieves the discomfort and stress that a pregnancy can cause. Celebrity moms-to-be are fueling the trend, but the positive benefits of this type of massage make it a popular choice for many expectant mothers. Baby massage is another area of rising popularity, with many new moms using the massage sessions as yet another way to bond with their child. Not only does the massage strengthen the bond between mother and child, it helps the baby eliminate toxins and aids in the development of joints and muscles.

Day spas are also more popular than ever, and a relaxing massage is usually a focal point of the experience. Day spas abound in Los Angeles with many specializing in various holistic treatments including several types of massage. A day of beauty treatments may include a seaweed wrap, steam shower and a Swedish massage. As more and more busy women try to find ways to relax and pamper themselves, this trend will continue to grow.

With the ever-growing emphasis on wellness and natural treatments, the popularity of massage therapies in Los Angeles continues to grow. This trend shows no sign of slowing down, and as competition increases, Los Angeles folks can look forward to more innovative, relaxing experiences.
