How can a person prevent and treat lower back pain with sensible exercise? Many back problems are caused either by muscle or ligament strain, and of course lack of exercise, therefore resulting in weak back muscles. It is logical that moderate exercise each day is required.
Chronic back problems which linger around and that can be felt from time to time (chronic), is a clear sign that strength and flexibility need to be focused on.
Being more conscious and aware when your back is in a straight or bent position. Focus on your stomach muscles as well. Here's some tips on how to do some easy, sensible exercises for a few minutes everyday without overexerting yourself.
