How can I learn exercises that are good for my back?

Consider consulting with a physical therapist or an American College of Sports Medicine certified exercise specialist, if needed, to find which exercises are best for your body and your specific type of back pain. It’s better to know proper form ahead of time than deal with aches and pains from yet another injury.  

Exercises that strengthen your core area have been shown to help prevent and rehabilitate from low back pain. The core is defined by the structures that make up your torso including the lumbar spine (low back), the pelvic girdle, abdomen, and the hip joint. The muscles of your core help to support and stabilize your spine and pelvis. Strengthening these muscles can be very beneficial for improving function and eliminating back pain. Try these exercises during your next workout. If you need further assistance talk to a certified personal trainer, certified athletic trainer (ATC), or physical therapist.
