Because your muscles are always in contact with the central nervous system, emotions such as anxiety and anger will often make your muscles tense. As time goes by, these tense muscles will move less easily and lose their full range of motion. As they lose their range of motion they will be less able to keep your back stable and lower back pain will result.

Postural Muscles And Back Pain

Andrew de Bruyn — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 18:38:23 +0000

Poor posture is a leading cause of back pain. Postural muscles, also called tonic muscles, maintain the body's posture and support the body against gravity. Other muscles, called phasic or movement muscles move the body. Examples of phasic muscles are the abdominals and gluteals. Postural muscles include the hamstrings at the back of the legs, erector spinae muscles that run down the spine and the pectorals or chest muscles. Postural muscles have a high level of endurance and can support the body for long periods. However, if they tighten up, posture is likely to be distorted over time. Muscles also depend on each other to be effective. In other words, if the postural muscles are weak or tight, the phasic muscles will have to compensate and will tire out easily.

Six Causes Of Back Pain

1.Weak muscles, caused by insuffient exercise, are a major cause of back pain. The body is a unit-the various muscles act together. The lower torso is carried by the abdominals as well as the lower back muscles. The upper torso is carried by the pectorals or chest muscles, as well as the upper back muscles (trapezius and lats). So any exercise plan for back pain need to strengthen and stretch not only the major back muscles, like the lats and traps but also muscles in the front of the body, particularly the abdominal muscles. The abdominal muscles (often called the core muscles) help to support the spine and upper body. The abdominal muscles comprise the internal and external obliques down the side of your waist, and the six-pack muscles or the rectus abdominus, that run down the middle of your abdomen.

The lower part of the spine or the lumbar region is the region where most people experience back pain. This part of the back carries the weight of the body and the muscles are prone to strain. The diagram of the spine illustrates the vertebrae of the spine. Notice the 'S' shape of the spine, which I refer to later.
