Low Back Pain and Exercise

Many people who have chronic low back pain do not exercise because they feel that exercise will make their pain worse. Studies have shown that exactly the opposite is true. People with chronic low back pain who worked out 4 days a week had a reduction in pain of 28% compared with those who only did 2 days a week and had 14% reduction in pain. The exercises that were done were strength training exercises. Increasing the strength of the muscles helped alleviate the back pain.

There are some other things you can do for lower back pain besides exercise, although I am not telling you to avoid exercise. If you can find an energy medicine practitioner, they are often able to align energies from within which will help alleviate your lower back pain.
