You should have no pain in your legs when you do this, but it is normal to feel some pain in your lower back.

Treatment interventions: Studies compared exercise as a treatment versus usual care (education, analgesics, primary health care physician), exercise as a treatment versus sham treatment (sham ultrasound), and McKenzie exercises versus back pain education.

To carry out this exercise get onto all fours, make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders, and knees directly under your hips. Strong back and abdominal muscles help you keep good posture, with your spine in its correct position. A) Begin on your hands and knees with hands directly under shoulders and knees directly under hips.

Then, keeping one leg extended, bring a knee up into your chest and hold for 15 - 30 seconds. Stretching these muscles helps to immediately relief tension in the back and continued stretching over time will help improve the posture in the lower back.

1. Lay on your back in Neutral spine, knees bent, feet flat on the floor and hands behind the head. LEVEL III: Use these moves when you're feeling good to develop more spine-sparing mobility and endurance and help prevent future lower back pain.

Start on your hands and knees on a carpeted floor or padded mat and your back parallel to the floor. While keeping your stomach muscles tight, raise your shoulders from the floor.

Keep your lower back, feet, and tailbone against the floor throughout the exercise. Raise the shoulders upward slowly until you feel the abdominal muscles tighten. The hip abductor muscles help to raise the leg to the side, away from the body. Repeat with both knees brought up to the chest.

Turn your head (trunk) to the right as you turn both knees to the left. Tighten your core, taking care to maintain a neutral spine, and slowly reach the arms overhead.
