Exercise

Exercise has different meanings for everyone: grudging necessity, great escape, calming relaxation.

Daily

For you who suffer with back pain, exercise must become part of your daily routine to keep you moving pain-free. It may take a few episodes of back and/or arm or leg pain to appreciate exercise’s role in your life, but exercise really is your friend.

Strengthening

Exercise for spine pain related conditions has a simple purpose: strengthen the muscles to support the spine. Weak muscles allow the spine and its segments to move as they shouldn’t: the stronger and more stable the spine, the less the chance of damage, degeneration and injury.

Simple
