Information for Lower Back Pain

The important thing to remember with lower back pain exercises is that it will usually get better if you stay active and definitely avoid activities that cause pain or strain. The best time to begin exercising for your lower back pain would be when you don’t have any more acute pain. If you still have acute pain it is probably best if you do not begin exercising at this point. You should always consult your doctor before you start an exercise program and it is very important that you only do exercises that don’t increase your back pain symptoms.

With that being said, once you are ready for exercising, we have compiled some of the best lower back pain exercises for you.  The most important point is to not be afraid of pain and that leads to you being immobile. You definitely want to stay active and not be afraid of the pain.

You can group lower back pain exercises into 3 main groups; Aerobic exercise, strengthening exercises, and stretching exercises. Aerobic exercise would  be to condition your body (heart and your other muscles) that will maintain your health and speed your recovery.

A few exercises you would want to stay away from, as they can aggravate your lower back pain, are as follows:

• Touching your toes while standing
• Lifting heavy weights that require you to lift them above your midpoint (waist)
• Leg Lifts – This is when you lay on your back or side and lift one or two legs up.
• Straight leg sit-ups as well as bent legs sit ups and partial sit-ups.

When you exercise and stay active you may actually relieve your lower back pain and actually help speed up your recovery. When you strengthen your core (stomach, back, and leg) muscles you actually make your muscles less susceptible to injury that can lead to more back pain. When you have stronger muscles it can lower the pressure on your spine, due to better support, and in turn help prevent disc injury of your spine.

While we are on the topic of “maintaining” a healthy back, let me tell you some more lower back pain exercises. These exercises can actually help your lower back so that you do not experience the pain as often or at all. Walking, walking in mid height water (waist), and swimming will also help build up your lower back muscles.

Once you don’t have any more acute pain you should try an aerobic exercise every day, even if it is just a couple of minutes a day it might be helpful if you increase the length of the aerobic exercise daily.  It is always great to keep looking for more lower back pain exercises so that you can help prevent lower back pain in the future. Remember that it is preventable and you have the tools and the ability to help stop it from coming back.
