It is estimated that more than 80 percent of the population will experience low back pain at some point in life. The economic burden associated with low back pain is significant, costing Americans up to $50 billion annually in direct healthcare expenses. When lost wages and missed time from work are included, the total impact is estimated to exceed $100 billion per year.
These figures highlight the growing need for noninvasive, drug-free approaches to managing low back pain. While low back pain can have many contributing factors, one of the most common involves chronic weakness and inactivity of the core muscles. Tight, overactive muscles can also place excessive strain on the pelvis, spinal vertebrae, rib cage, and hips, leading to discomfort and dysfunction over time.
Targeted exercises can help decrease tension and stiffness in the lower back while supporting spinal mobility and disc hydration. Strengthening the core musculature may also improve stability, endurance, and overall movement efficiency, which can reduce strain on the lower spine during daily activities.
The exercises on this page are designed to promote better movement patterns and support long-term spinal health when performed correctly and consistently.
