Exercises for Lower Back Muscle Strain
Muscles in the lower back, hips, buttock, and abdomen are all necessary for stabilizing and supporting your spine. By keeping these muscles strong and active you can help avoid possible lower back injury. Even if you do see an injury if the muscles have been actively strengthen usually this can minimize the pain and disability when an injury occurs. A complete exercise program consists of stretching and strengthening of the lower back, lower body, and the abdominal area muscles. Of benefit is regular aerobic conditioning either walking, biking, or elliptical training. These specific exercises for you should be prescribed on an individual basis. The program that works best will largely depend on your fitness level, specific back pain diagnosis, and personal preferences.
Stiff back muscles will add strain on the lower back and limits the spine's natural movement. By stretching the lower back and lower body muscles this can alleviate the tension and tightness in the muscles and possibly reduce pain.
