A member asked:
Are lower back hyperextension exercises good to avoid back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Over time, gravity tends to pull us into a flexed position. Extension exercises counter this effect and help keep the spine neutral. Twisting exercises also help keep the spine limber and lubricated.
