Back exercises
Discussion
Stuart McGill exercises are the best for just about any problem, if done properly.
Plank, side-plank/bridge, bird-dog/quadruped etc.
Depending in the back problem pilates or yoga can be detrimental in some cases, I've had several patients where such activities have aggravated their problems.
Avoid sit-ups at all costs. Even if your back is healthy.

Thanks Hoofy. Broom stick exercises are strating to come back to me. She has some good tips to make it effective.
She's flexible, for me it's quite hard due to a shoulder injury.

I have seen someone in the gym do it with the hands shoulder-width apart.

The single best thing for a healthy back is avoiding chiropractors.
There are innumerable exercises for your back, but concentrating on one part of your body may lead to imbalances elsewhere. May be better to explore a full body regime?
Seems one of the most thorough systematic reviews (not rubbish single case reports etc) ever done on the effectiveness of chiropractic disagrees somewhat with your opinion There are innumerable exercises for your back, but concentrating on one part of your body may lead to imbalances elsewhere.

My opinion is jaded by poor personal experience but that study suggests I'm in the minority.

A Chiropractor diagnosed it, backed up with xrays. I discussed my options with my GP, they felt the Chiropractor was the best person to treat it.

I feel sorry for the chap. He has shoulder instability. He's far more likely to dislocate them, and will likely have accelerated osteoarthritis when he's older. E65Ross said:

RE back exercises plank, side bridges and the "bird-dog" aka quadruped as directed by Stuart McGill are 3 back exercises which will do wonders. There are plenty others but you could do worse than doing those, so long as they're done properly.

Pilates and or yoga. I wish I had done it years ago. You won't believe how much effort it take to hold a position without weights.
What he said!I have had lower back issues for a long time, deadlifts aggravated it and mri confirmed a lot of wear and tear.
I started yoga, which was basically 90 minutes of stretching, the first 2 or 3 sessions were pretty uncomfortable, but I was obviously stretching muscles that hadn't been stretched for a long time ( I did stretch previously but it was the usual hammys, quads etc)
I now feel much looser and more comfortable, wish I'd tried it years ago, I can see why giggsy and becks were such advocates.
