Think about doing 15 minutes of exercise a day to prevent back pain. Apple Country Chiropractic is here to support you when you hurt, but we also recommend you to do what you can to care for your spine.

Along that route, Apple Country Chiropractic shares this new research article that touts mild, home calisthenics, ones that grow balance-muscle strength to thwart lower back pain in 50 year old healthy working people. (1) That's fantastic! Another advantage to lower back pain prevention, the researchers even speculate that respiratory function improvement may be connected to posture improvement. It's a win-win situation.

So what should you try in the form of Williamson lower back pain exercise? Apple Country Chiropractic agrees with the researchers that the key word is mild. You don't have to turn into a gym-rat or a muscle bound athlete. The research paper's authors focused on balance-control and low-back-musculature strengthening. Apple Country Chiropractic does, too. Take into account some simple lower back exercises like the pelvic tilt and pelvic lift. Add some stabilization ball exercises for balance. And the outstanding part of the study and its recommendations? Just 15 minutes a day generated results.
