I have a back injury from lifting and going to physio. should i stop excersing?

No: No, the health benefits to exercising are numerous. May need to modify program to be less stressful on back, at least temporarily. Could consider working with therapist or trainer. Could consider water exercises as well, which are generally better tolerated by the back.
