Exercises for lower back pain

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare, reduce activity, or feel limited in daily life.

You may have been told to rest, strengthen your core, stretch more, or protect your spine. While exercise is widely recommended, the type of exercise you choose - and how you approach it - matters far more than intensity or precision.

Modern research and mind-body medicine agree on an important point that movement helps lower back pain, not because your back is weak or damaged, but because movement restores confidence, reduces nervous system sensitivity, and supports normal function.
