Paul’s Top 5 Extension Exercises for        Low Back Pain

Exercise can relieve low back pain. However, there is no one best exercise. That’s because everyone’s back pain is different.

Many people do find relief from low back pain by doing extension (backward bending) exercises. In this video, Paul the Physical Therapist will discuss and demonstrate his top 5 extension exercises for relieving low back pain.

The intent of this video is to illustrate some of the ways Paul the Physical Therapist teaches his patients to find relief from their low back pain. He only recommends particular exercises after a thorough examination to determine if a particular exercise is appropriate for an individual. If you are experiencing low back pain, see your physical therapist.
