As our lives become more sedentary, lower back pain is more common than ever. If this is something you’re familiar with then it’s time to turn your attention to your core. With a little consistency, these three exercises from Personal Trainer Coach Milad, co-creator of the popular Instagram channel, TailoredFitPT, could massively help. All you need is a little space and something soft to go beneath you.
“Strengthening the core through specific exercises can provide essential support to the lower back, reducing the risk of pain and injury,” Coach Milad writes on his post. Research supports this too. A meta-analysis in the Journal of Athletic Training, which compared general exercise and core exercises for the treatment of chronic lower back pain, found that the latter was more successful in relieving pain. This is because our core muscles help maintain spinal stability, which can also improve our posture, boost our athletic performance ,and help us move better as a whole.
