For lower back pain, you might think that resting is the best way to heal, but actually excercising is the perfect way to get better. Remember to always take it slow, and i suggest maybe trying out Pilates or some Yoga stretches. I say &#39;some&#39; because not all stretches + excercises are good for healing and some can actually be more damaging. For the specific excercises and Do&#39;s and Dont&#39;s, take a look at this article i found for you:<br \/>\nhttps:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.webmd.com&#x2F;back-pain&#x2F;ss&#x2F;slideshow-exercises<br \/>\nDont take too many rushed movements and if you still cant get rid of this pain, contact a health care specialist to help \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-2697951405\"><div id=\"thefa-2193198827\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Your new life awaits<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sara P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I had a lot of lower back pain during my pregnancy and for a while afterwards. I then realized was due to the fact that I lost a lot of core strength during that time.<br \/>\nMy recommendation would be that you try to increase the strength in your core (abs, glutes and lower back).<br \/>\nTake it slow so you don\u2019t injure yourself \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Silviano Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have progressive osteoporosis in my spine and knees. For me, practicing yoga allows me to become more flexible.  For example,  Salutation to the Sun. I can do most of it. What I can&#39;t physically do,  I modify.  It will help to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julien N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you\u2019re not already practicing Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga, you should get into it. It will solve you chronic back pain. I suggest Down Dog app, it\u2019s affordable and very well done. You can choose how much time and what area to target.<br \/>\nYou could start with a 10 minutes session every day that focuses on lower back, and see where that leads you. Then when you like it, move to longer time and full practice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Pedro U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">So, you need to improve your muscle in your core, they stabilize your body and with it you have to avoid been siting for to long, take a little walk after an hour, do some squats and focus to your posture, don\u2019t stay too much time in the same position<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sharon O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Pilates is a great solution. It helps to strengthen the muscles around that area and over time will provide more stability and support.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Harshita F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Leaning over to one side, stretching legs on the floor And stretching ur arms in a circle. Try these stretches, they work out really well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kemi C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find it helps a bit to lie on a hard floor, fold your knees up to your chest and hug them, and then roll gently from side to side. Not all the way from side to side but just a little bit. It gives a little stretch and kind of massages the vertebrae.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isaltino O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First of all, I AM NOT A DOCTOR so everything I say is only from my experience. If you have really bad back pain, maybe you should see a doctor. Otherwise some stretches work well for me like child&#39;s pose, wall downdog, knees to chest, forward fold. (look it up on google images)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sandra R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Before beginning the streatches its important to know what movements reduce and increase the pain. Forward bend, back bend, side bend twist. With the back, increased pain means don&#39;t do it that far. Slowly increase range. I like to law on my bed with the edge just below the buttocks so the weight of my feet streatches the back. Then scooting up higher and pulling one knee at a time up towards the opposite shoulder. What helped the pain most is core strength building. Bridging (laying on back with knees bent then lifting buttocks) if that hurts just contract the buttocks pressing the back down and pelvice up. Amazingly, just standing on one foot and moving oposit leg strengthens the core mistletoe. Mini squats help too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jen A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">What helps me is to lay on my back on the floor and stretch my hands up above my head, horizontal to the ground, and do that a couple times during yoga.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jenny F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Lay on the ground with belly side. And then Lift arms and legs as high as you can. Hold it and let go, Do this 5 Minute a Day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Yusuf T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Im doing the exercises by make me fabulous, and i have noticed my body especially my back is way better. I suggest you to do it too.<br \/>\nFor more specific information search it online or talk to a specialist for this type of pain. Wish you the best!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marion Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would try to do some very gentle cobras or back bends.<br \/>\nMaybe also alternate heat and cold, and take whatever pain medication you are able to tolerate.<br \/>\nA nice warm bath with Epsom salts, about a cup, can also help to soothe sore muscles.<br \/>\nI hope that you find healing and comfort in the next while.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">In S S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use the app fiton that have tons of really good exercises for back pain! Realy love the stretches and yoga flows focus on the back<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lisa Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Lay on the ground and put your legs on a chair or on you couch. It&#39;ll look like you&#39;re in a sit position, but in another perspective. This will help you out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adam G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019m no expert but I have been doing simple yoga stretches after my runs and workouts. That is always important after to me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suzzanne Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am not sure yet as I am dealing with the same thing this week.
