Back Pain Can Be A Nusiance, Here Are Exercises To Help Reduce It

Pelvic Tilts: This will help build strength in your pelvic muscles and lower back. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Tighten your stomach muscles. You should feel your back pressing against the floor and your pelvis rocking back as well.

 

Bridging: Be sure not to overarch your back by tightening your abdominal muscles before lifting. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your heels on the floor. Push your heels into the floor and begin to squeeze your buttocks and lift your hips off the floor until your shoulders, hips and knees and all in a straight line.

Lifting Weights: If you have acute back pain, lifting light weights can help relieve it. But if you have chronic back pain, you should not be lifting weights because it could cause further pain and injury.
