Many people are surprised to learn that carefully selected exercise can actually reduce back pain. Some exercises can even provide quick and significant pain relief and speed recovery. Once your pain lessens or disappears, exercise can restore back movement and muscle strength to help protect against future pain.
The best way to prevent injury and spine related pain is by improving posture and having strong, flexible muscles and joints that resist strain and injury. With many cases of neck and back pain, certain exercises can help relieve episodes of pain. The back and neck generally respond well to movement and exercise.
