Strong abdominal muscles are as crucial as strong back muscles for providing the body upright strength and movement. When these core muscles are in poor condition, additional stress is applied to the spine as it supports the body, and back injury or back pain is more likely.
Try this Simple Pelvic Tilt Exercise
1. Lie on your back with the knees bent and the soles of the feet on the floor. This is your neutral position, with the natural curve of the lumbar spine causing the low back to be slightly elevated from the floor.
2. On an exhale, press your low back into the floor by gently rock your hips towards your face. You are essentially taking the curve out of the low back.
3. After a few seconds, inhale and return to your neutral position.
4. Repeat this movement 5 to 10 times.
