Research has shown that people who are physically fit are less likely to have back pain, injuries, and will also recover much faster from injuries than those who are less physically fit.
The abdominal and back muscles help to stabilize the spine allowing proper spinal movement and correct posture. Also, having strong leg and hip muscles allow for proper lifting techniques and body mechanics.
Strengthening back and abdominal muscles can help to relieve back pain, provide energy and give a feeling of wellness making daily routine activities much easier.
As always if you are experiencing back pain be sure to check with your chiropractor before starting an exercise routine.

Being an ex-athlete and having been involved in all different styles of weight training for many years, my body at 48 years, old is paying the price. Active Release Technique (ART) in itself is mandatory but without somebody like Dr. Angelo to apply the technique is of little value. Whereas, the knowledge and treatments at Northern California Chiropractic & Sports Therapy are outstanding in general, their ability to bring relief specifically to the weight trainer/athlete is extraordinary.
