Hi everyone,

Was wondering if anyone knows of good exercises to strengthen the lower back area. I suffer from really bad lower backaches and will welcome any suggestions to help reduce it. The problem started post-baby, I think, due to an epidural and it just hasn't gotten any better. I do exercise a bit- walks and yoga mainly but haven't seen many results. Welcome advice.

Thanks in advance.

    

Some good low back strength exercises: bridge, cobra, back extension, superwoman, prone plank, bird dog.....try to see which one works best......get doctor to check for possible disc or other problems....

Hi Mark,

Thanks for sharing this..Will get my ortho to check me up before I get started on any of these.. Cobra is something I do right now as well.. But not the rest.. Also, will get screened for possible disc problems, although am quite sure the problem is due to the epidural.
Thanks again.

What i feel is that you should follow some good yoga exercise.
