This is a rehab program specifically designed for athletes with chronic low back pain, or for individuals who have had low back pain in the past and are working to prevent recurrence. The focus and intent of these exercises are to strengthen the muscles of the hip, core and back. These exercises are meant to be done as supplemental or accessory work to any strength training program the athlete is already participating in. This program is not designed for individuals who have suffered an acute low back strain, a trauma or for people who are inexperienced with working out. This is not intended to be a replacement for medical advice. Please seek out the help of a qualified medical professional if you are experiencing severe or worsening back pain.
