Lower Back Pain Relief

If your core is weak and you have back pain, it is not your fault. Today’s lifestyles of sitting at work are a major contributor to lower back injuries and pain. Lifting improperly can also shift the lower spine out of alignment. Exercise is a key component to improving the health of your lower back.

Strengthen Your Core & Lower Back

The pelvic tilt exercise strengthens the core and lower back, and improves spinal alignment. The movement targets the buttocks, and front and rear leg muscles. Strengthening these muscles will allow you to lift more with your legs, thus taking stress off your lower back.
