What are some physical therapy exercises for back and abdominal strength?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Core exercises are among some of the best for strengthening the back and abdomen. I would recommend going to a physical therapist to learn some of the more common ones. You may also want to go to your favorite search engine and type in "core exercises" to see an example of these.

Ask your therapist : To show you so great core strengthening exercises. Example by lying on on your back then bending your knees. Tighten your belly muscles until you can press the small of your back flat against the floor. Hold the press for about 5 seconds and repeat up to 10 times. Lumbar stabilization programs are also great. Yoga is also good. Make sure not to continue any exercise that causes increased pain.

Been injured for about a month, primarily in the left bicep but also radiating throughout the entire arm at moments. Severity of pain goes up and down. Went to urgent treatment, who said it was a pulled bicep muscle. I was wondering about a pinched nerve. Prior to this I was jarred down and landed on my back side, while in seated position. My upper abdomen and lower chest felt like it was compressed. Felt like everything had been pushed down. Any ideas? Thanks. Sore bicep/arm
