Anyone who knows a thing or two about back pain will tell you that exercise is good for it! But now that you’ve got yourself a shiny new gym membership, what kind of workout should you be doing, exactly?
According to our Southend chiropractor, low-impact aerobic activities are the safest ways for people with chronic back problems to exercise. The benefits of this kind of exercise are wide reaching: it can help you to drop pounds which will relieve excess strain on your back, it can boost circulation which promotes disc healing and it can strengthen those all-important back and core muscles.
There’ll be a number of cardio machines at your local gym that offer low-impact workouts. Before you start any new exercise, talk to a reputable chiropractor or your healthcare provider for exercise recommendations specific to your back problem.
