Strengthen your muscles for Lower Back Pain

When your core muscles are weak, your body will rely more and more on your ligaments as well as the spinal bones or discs to maintain stability. This will put lot of pressure on your lower back and cause lower back pain.

Strength training, pilates, and planks are very important to help strengthen the core muscles and reduce pressure on the lower back. It can also strengthen and relax the muscles, and prevent future episodes of pain due to tight muscles.

Low impact activities such as light cardio or water exercise can also help alleviate the pain by improving blood circulation in the body. This reduces muscle stiffness and keeps muscles flexible and strong.

Plus, exercise can release endorphins which are known to be the brain natural painkillers. This can help relieve lower back pain as well.
