Posture Information | Exercise Lower Back Pain

Many people seem to want to know if you can just exercise lower back pain away. Is it only about exercise? That is, did you end up with lower
back pain due to a lack of exercise.
Not necessarily, but it's probably a good place to start looking. When I ask patients if they exercise, most are still saying "no." Those that
do exercise tend to stick with the same machine or routine for their entire program.
So on one hand, we have those that don't exercise and have lower back pain. It's easy to take a guess and see that their spine is having
problems due to a lack of muscular support. While their spine may need more work at this point (check with your healthcare professional),
eventually they'll exercise lower back pain away by creating a muscular back support around their spine.
Those that do exercise, but are not performing a variety of movements are causing a different problem; muscular imbalance. They are likely
only developing certain muscle groups while largely ignoring others. Worse, they may be performing activities that are alarmingly similar to what
they already do all day.
They are strengthening muscles that are already overworked and not strenghtening muscles that are typically ignored. This is a standard recipe
for developing lower back pain problems and should be avoided.
Overall, maintaining a variety of activities that includes exercises to enhance cardiovascular health, strengthening and stretching will help
exercise lower back pain away for good.
