What exercises are best for low back pain?

September 19th, 2025

Core stability, hip mobility, and extension-based movements are most effective. Physiotherapists at MEX Physio prescribe McKenzie exercises, corrective strengthening, and functional retraining. Structured exercise programs reduce recurrence (Maher et al., 2017). A personalized plan is more effective than generic routines.

Can I exercise if I have sciatica?
