Hi everyone, I am pretty new to the site. I was just wondering if anyone had any exercises, programs, ideas for what I can do with an injured back? I am almost completely healed but do not want to push things yet. I am currently walking at a moderate pace on the treadmill.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

    Uh, you should have gotten a therapy program from you Dr.??!! Don't not make matters worse by asking advice from people that have no idea what your injury really is. My therapy for my wrecked back and neck is strength training and stretching(yoga based). The lower back maintenance is Core focused workouts.

    I have sciatic nerve pain and when my back is hurting I find that yoga helps tremendously but I would check with your doctor to see what you can or cannot do.

    Talk to your doctor or see a chiropractic doctor.

    Yeah, you def don't want to injure things further

    My doctor has told me to work on core training exercises and to start exercising again slowly via treadmill or bike. I was just curious what other people with back injuries do for exercise....i know they wouldn't be recommending them, just curious! :happy:
