Top 3 Worst Back Exercises | El Paso Manual Physical Therapy

Doing exercises for your back problem is probably the single best thing you can do to naturally heal your back.

BUT....

Not all exercises are good for your back.

Some can be quite harmful for certain back conditions.

In this video I’m going to share the top 3 worst back exercises that you could possibly do. They’re going to likely make your back pain problem even worse, maybe not the first time you do it, but if you keep doing it, as time goes on, it almost always makes back problems worse.

Number 1 cobra stretching. This is not a good exercise to be doing, especially if you’ve got herniated discs, sciatica-type problems, tight back muscles.

Second worst exercise you could be doing is ab twist exercises.

The third worst exercise that you could be doing for your back problem is leg raises.

If you’ve got a back problem right now and you’ve been doing these exercises, I would stop right now.

The best thing that you can do is talk to an expert about your back problems so that you get the right exercises.

Get expert help so that you’re not running into having to take pain medications every day, avoiding surgery for the long-term, and so that you can get back to being active and doing stuff that you want to do without your back pain slowing you down.
