Exercise Benefits for Low Back Pain

The lumbar spinal (low lower back) stability is heavily dependent on the stomach (stomach) and lowers back muscles. The abdominal muscles are the primary stabilizing support by their capacity to exert pressure on the abdomen. That is pushed to the back and creates the anterior column of support (from towards the back). The muscles of the lower back stabilize the spine from behind and contribute to the posterior support. Simply put, the bony spine and discs are covered by muscles. The stronger the muscles of these specific muscles become. The lower pressure is placed on disks as well as joints in the spine. Patients should build an 'envelope' of muscles in the spine.
