3 Core Exercises That Will Rehab Your Back Pain Faster Than Anything
Prevent flare-ups and build strength at the same time!
If you think that core training will hurt your injured back, you’re only going to slow the recovery process. Far too many patients and health providers have a fear around movement, and it only ever leads to self-doubt, catastrophization, and poor functionality. Not only is core training an essential element for building back functional strength and endurance but it’s proven to calm the worst of symptoms when used appropriately.
As your resident kinesiologist on this platform, I want to help you achieve all of this in just weeks. I’ve worked with hundreds of back pain patients in both private and public practice, and movement has been the key ingredient for virtually all of their success. Whether you have a slipped disc, tight erectors, or a weak lower back, the 3 movements below will help you restore independence and vigor to your life.
The secret? All 3 of these exercises involve extension, allowing you to develop the posterior chain and restore active mobility. Not only will they help your symptoms, but they just feel so damn good as your body gradually becomes looser and more spry.
I’ll say it over and over again. Movement is the medicine you need.
