Exercise can only help with back pain relief if done properly. And it's always best to be sure to stretch out those back muscles before doing any type of lifting or exercising.

Overall exercising with weights is important so the patient does not get deconditioned.It’s also important that the lower back extensor muscles are specifically strengthend. They should be 50% stronger than the abs.

Use the gym. The study clearly indicates that those who worked out more with the weights significantly improved their physical condition and felt better at the end of the study than those who didn’t.
Why? Is LBP only associated with poor muscle conditioning and lack of activity? Were the participants who did not benefit so out of shape that they needed a longer more focused conditioning program to obtain improvement?

Recent research from Australia concluded that that exercise is being underutilized as a treatment for chronic back and neck pain and, to some extent, that the amount of supervision and types of exercises prescribed do not follow current practice guidelines. Exercise prescription provided by PTs appears to be most in line with current guidelines.

When I deal with LBP clients I always assess movement patterns, soft tissue quality especially around the hips. Then design a program to challenge the weakest links. Which are commonly extreme posterior chain weakness and poor hip and ankle mobility.
