Lower back pain

Grateful is right and gives good info. I do Physical therapy and would make a suggestion of two. As to the rolled up towel it will actually be too hard and not be tolerated long. Find the foam roll she mentioned. all exercises should core oriented but first you need to strengthen your Rectus Adominus muscle. It's a small movement muscle that runs across the lower end of your belly about belt line. you can start by"pulling" it in and holding it for 10 seconds about 10 times many times a day. you can do it while driving. After the TA is strengthened all of the other Abdominal exercises will be much more effective. Don't tighten your ABs focus lower. you can check it by talking. It will not interfere with your talking, where if you tighten your ABs it will be difficult to talk. Blitz
