How to effectively treat lumbar myositis

Psoas myositis is a disease in which the lumbar muscles become strained and inflamed. Many people don’t know how to treat lumbar myositis. When treating psoas myositis, people should pay special attention to their lifestyle, especially strengthening physical exercise and some recovery exercises for the waist.

1. Maintain good posture and correct various deformities in daily life:

The correct posture should be to keep your head up and eyes straight, tuck in your abdomen, straighten your chest, maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine, and avoid excessive lordosis of the cervical and lumbar spine.

2. Strengthen physical exercise:

Strengthening physical exercise can keep muscles, ligaments and joint capsules healthy and well-developed. People with strong muscles and elastic ligaments are less likely to suffer from strain.

3. Pay attention to your body posture at work : In addition to doing waist exercises and stretching your arms and legs, you can appropriately improve your working environment, such as adding a suitable cushion to the back of the chair, or using a waistband (medical leather/iron/cloth vest) to protect your waist.
