Back pain can make intimacy challenging, but certain positions reduce spinal strain effectively.
Latest Research Findings
Spooning was long considered ideal for back pain sufferers, but Canadian researchers who analyzed spinal movements during sex in various positions found otherwise.
For Women
If low back pain worsens when lying on your stomach, missionary position is best. For pain when touching your toes or after prolonged sitting, doggy style places the least stress on your back.
For Men
The same study on men confirmed doggy style as the top choice for those with back problems.
Pro Tip: Thrust from the Hips
Generate movement from the hips, not the back, to minimize strain.
