As all this back pain blog readers know I'm a great believer in self help and exercise, where practical, for back pain. Well, I think it helps in a lot of different pain situations.
Anyway I thought readers would be interested in these exercises by Monique Washington (who herself has herniated discs), personal trainer at St. John Siegfried Health Club, Tulsa. As reported by Jason Wright on the Hispanic Business.com website.
Monique is a firm believer in core strengthening, and it does seem to be the in-thing these days. But to quote her "the transverse abdominal muscle is your body's natural girdle. You can't have a healthy back without having a healthy core."
Anyway, if you go to this page she goes on to describe seven core strengthening exercises you might like to try. They are illustrated and fairly straightforward.
You could do worse than give these a try. As always take it easy at first and don't try to do more than you think you can.
