    What did your doctor or osteopath recommend to you?

    I would research online the types of exercises you could do either at home, or at the gym for those body parts - there are many free youtube.com videos that do actual demonstrations...

    Try pilates...you will probably have to modify, but it is wonderful for toning abs, back and legs...it will also help to strengthen your lower back....
