Understanding the Causes of Low Back Pain
Years of heavy lifting can lead to an extended position, putting strain on the back and causing pain. Inefficient movement strategies and lack of mobility can also contribute to low back pain. Many people default to arching their backs and hanging out on the low back when their bodies haven't moved all day. This is a common strategy, but it limits movement options and can lead to discomfort.
The Limitations of Traditional Weightlifting Exercises
Traditional weightlifting exercises primarily focus on strength and may not be suitable for individuals with low back pain. These exercises often limit movement options and can put unnecessary strain on the low back. To avoid exacerbating your pain, it's important to choose the right exercises that strengthen your muscles without compromising your back.
