I’ve been using my yoga ball to try to align my back. Should I continue?
Also, I am considering to buy spine worx or some other spine alignment product.
Anybody recommend products for spine alignment?
I also need to align my hip bone. Any exercises/stretches for that on the yoga ball or any other way?
Please help. Thank you.
We spend most of our life in a forward flexed position, whether it be hunched over a desk, bending forward to pick things up. slouched in a couch. Most of our world encourages us to lean forward, so we typically have good flexion mobility. However, we then lose our ability to extend our spines (ie bend backward). This leads to extra stress and pressure on discs, ligaments, and our back muscles are forced to work harder to hold us up. This can cause burning, pain, and sometimes tingling.
Lying back over the exercise ball is a great way to take your spinal joints through their full extension range of motion with the assistance of gravity. Your extensor muscles relax and the forward curvature is reversed to a degree (depending how flexible you are). To get a gentle stretch just let some of the air out of the ball. To progress for a more intense stretch just pump up the ball so it’s firmer. The spine worx device looks pretty rigid and is probably much more expensive than the ball, so I would try a ball first. Remember that once you get the mobility, you need to be able to control it. ie you need to be able to maintain a good postural alignment in standing and during activity. The exercise ball can help you in that regard as well.
By strengthening the deep core stabilizers you will be able to maintain your postural alignment. The spine worx doesn’t offer that versatility.
Here’s a great website that’ll show you some stretches over the exercise ball and some strengthening exercises as well so you can maintain that postural alignment:

Spine Worx
Helps relieve muscular pain, pressure and irritation.
Provides the best home therapy for relieving back tension and stress.
Cradles and elevates the spine, isolating the vertebrae into a neutral position where gravity takes over and allows the vertebrae to naturally and properly realign.
Helps relieve symptoms common to misalignment problems, since the basic concept has to do with biomechanics and proper alignment.
Natural remedy presents no chance of overdose or over-adjustment since the back conforms to its normal and natural shape.
