A member asked:
Following up for strained back questions. what type of exercises help to tome and strengthen muscles. i do light duties and rest when i have a strain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Core exercises : Some exercises regimens are trendy, meaning they become the fad and then are gone some time later. "core exercises" could be considered in this category. However i believe for back pain core exercises are a must. Multiple books and programs exist but they all basically break down to several similar exercises that really do strengthen your core. Start with the net, buy a $10 book, they work!
