Reduce Back Discomfort
Lower back discomfort is one of the most common movement concerns we see — and one of the most responsive to consistent, appropriate movement
Why This Matters
For most non-specific lower back discomfort, movement (not rest) is what current evidence supports. Building spinal mobility and core stability reduces both frequency and intensity of episodes
Common Challenges
- Stiffness after prolonged sitting
- Discomfort when bending or twisting
- Uncertainty about which movements are safe
- Difficulty getting up from a chair
- Difficulty lifting objects
Evidence-Based Guidance
Start with gentle mobility work to reduce stiffness, then build foundational core stability. Consistency matters more than intensity here
