Exercise

Stretching is an effective way to relieve back pain by increasing flexibility and reducing muscle tension.

Several techniques that improve the benefits of exercise walking include warm-up stretches, maintaining the correct posture, and using appropriate walking shoes or inserts.

For many back pain patients, water-based exercises should only be performed under the guidance of a qualified health professional.

Water therapy (also known as pool therapy, hydrotherapy, and aquatic therapy) is designed to relieve back pain by conditioning and strengthening the muscles.

Water therapy exercises range from simple routines performed in a shallow pool to conditioning using underwater treadmills and other high-tech equipment.

The McKenzie Method is a type of physical therapy and exercise that centralizes pain, and then focuses on self-healing techniques, including exercise.
