Exercise is a critical component of lower back pain treatment. But not all back pain is the same.
Some patients are acute and everything hurts. In other patients the pain is long-standing and resistant to care. Some patients have pain with flexion but with others this is the only way to get relief.
So knowing which exercises to prescribe for each patient can be difficult. We can't just prescribe the same exercises to each of these patients.
If this is something you struggle with I can help. In this FREE eBook I break down the basic science and principles with Low Back Pain exercises prescription.
In the book we'll cover the limitations of traditional yoga and knee-to-chest stretches and exercises like planks, curl-ups, and bird-dogs.
Then I'll discuss the key movements on which we need to base our low back exercises (the key here is to target the individual joint segments and not the spine in general).
Using this key principle I'll then review specific exercises for Acute Low Back Pain (here we're trying to promote healing and improve movement tolerance). I'll also discuss important exercises progressions develop lumbar mobility and motor control.
In the last section I'll also review our exercises to develop strength and endurance. And these aren't your typical isometric exercises like planks, bridges, and bird-dogs. Here we're tying to develop strength and control of the specific joints of the lower back.
With each exercise I also provide links to specific videos so you can see exactly how to perform each exercise.
