Back Strengthening Equipment

Remember, since you're not using a machine like you do at the gym, at-home workouts are more oriented toward stretching and strengthening. As well as the exercise ball, try lying on a mat with your shoulders flat, your hands at your side, and your one hip flat on the mat with knees bent . Stretch your spine out and hold the stretch, then release. Then move your knees to face the other side, resting on your other hip, with your shoulders still flat on the mat. You can also stretch all the way out on the mat on your stomach with your legs straight out in back and your hands all the way out in front, like Superman flying.

The low back exercise program is a series of stretching exercises and strengthening exercises prescribed by your physician for your medical condition. By following this program on a regular basis, you will see improvements in your posture, work endurance and athletic performance. Perform each exercise at a slow pace at least once a day for back strengthening.

Despite a lack of scientific evidence to support their efficacy, therapeutic approaches to back rehabilitation and strengthening over the past 30 yr have focused primarily upon passive care for symptom relief. Recent spine rehabilitation programs have returned to active reconditioning PRE centered around low back strengthening to restore normal musculoskeletal function. Research has shown that lumbar extension exercise using PRE significantly increases strength and decreases pain in CLBP patients. It appears that isolated lumbar extension exercise with the pelvis stabilized using specialized equipment elicits the most favorable improvements in low back strength, muscle cross-sectional area, and vertebral bone mineral density (BMD). The rate of physician visits caused by low back pain (LBP) is second only to cardiovascular problems among chronic disorders. It is generally accepted that physical conditioning is best achieved through the controlled, periodic, and quantifiable application of stress.
