My girlfriend called me the other day: “UGH I think I did something to my lower back” she mournfully moned.

“Oh no! I’ve been there. That’s the worst. But don’t worry, I’ve made a Youtube video to help with that. Four videos in fact!”

My friends always laugh that I have filmed a YouTube video to fix just about everything. It’s pretty much true, I love helping other people feel better.

So if you are reading this article and thinking “Oh, my aching back”, I’m happy we’ve met and I want to help you take care of it.

Lower Back Pain is the second most common neurological ailment in adults (headaches come as a close first).

“Eighty percent of the population of the United States, at some point in their life, is going to have back pain,” says Ronald J. Wisneski, MD, an orthopedic surgeon, specialist in spinal disorders and spine surgery, and associate in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa. Most of the time, that pain is centered in the lower back and non-specific, meaning there is no primary cause found. About 2% to 10% of people who experience low back pain develop chronic low back pain, which affects daily living for a minimum of 3 months.

Minimum of 3 months of back pain? Aint no’body got time for that.

Luckily there is a simple (and free!) fix to help relieve and prevent Lower Back Pain : exercise. Not only does movement help decrease Lower Back Pain , but it may also speed recovery, prevent re-injury, and enable you to enjoy a long life full of activity. Taking proactive steps to prevent or treat Lower Back Pain is easy and can be done at home without any special equipment.

Before we get started with some movement medicine, take a moment to think about this common causes and daily movements that may be increasing Lower Back pain in your life. Sometimes it’s as simple as adjusting your desk set up at work or using a backpack instead of a heavy shoulder purse.  Ask yourself if any of the below might be contributing to your Lower Back Pain and see if you can work to modify or eliminate these back pain culprits in your life.

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain:

  • Weak core muscles
  • Poor posture
  • Overuse
  • Lack of exercise
  • Too much sitting
  • Stress

Daily life movements that may cause more Lower Back Pain:

  • Poor posture and slouching while at your desk, computer, or on your smart phone.
  • Carrying your purse or shoulder bag on one side.
  • Spending a lot of time driving (the car seat causes slouching in the lower back, use this technique to prevent poor posture when behind the wheel)
  • Wearing High heels
  • Exercising with bad form
  • Lifting both legs while lying on your back (leg lifts).
  • Lifting heavy objects above the waist
  • Toe touches while standing.

See how daily movements can influence how your Lower Back feels?

Exercises that may help reduce or prevent Lower Back Pain:

  • Aerobic exercise: to condition your heart and muscles, maintain health, and speed recovery. Walking, cycling, and swimming are great back happy cardio options.
  • Strength Training: with a focus on the core, back, stomach, and leg muscles (see Lower Back Pain bodyweight strength video routine below).
  • Flexibility training / Stretching: to keep your muscles and other supporting tissues flexible and less prone to injury.

  1. Earlier this year I developed lower back pain and sciatic nerve pain that kept me awake at night. Then several months ago I developed pain in my lower neck that radiated down my left shoulder blade. As if that wasn’t enough, the pain traveled down my left arm and two of my fingers would go numb. I would have my wife to massage my back but that didn’t help. Tried ice. That made it worse.

    Do you think exercise could still help? Or should I undergo treatment?
