Cure Back Pain with Core Exercise

When your back is in pain, all you want to do is lay in bed and wait for your back pain to go away. You can cure back pain with core exercise. One of the best ways for you to overcome back pain is to strengthen your core muscles with core exercise.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    When most people hear the mention of core exercise they automatically assume this means crunches and sit ups, which may be the worst exercises for someone experiencing back pain.

    Build back muscles with stretching core exercise.

  2. Step 2

    KNEE TO CHEST
    Laying on the floor on your back, bend your knees so your feet are flat on the ground. Lift one knee up to your chest while pushing your lower back down into the floor. Hold the position a few seconds, relax, and repeat with the other leg. Do a set of repetitions that feels comfortable for you but whatever you don't over do it!

  3. Step 3

    PELVIC TILT
    Laying on the floor on your back, bend your knees so your feet are flat on the ground. Squeeze your behind and stomach muscles while pushing the small of your lower back against the floor. Hold for a 5 seconds or so, relax and repeat.
