Can exercising the abs help back pain?
– One of the most common causes of lower back pain, is surprisingly the lack of taught stomach muscles. A flabby stomach with relaxed muscles combined with a tight hip flexor can result in an awkward and unnatural tilt of the hip. This puts an additional strain on the lower back as it arches to compensate. A strong set of abs muscles will stabilise the core and eliminate excess arching and therefore lower back pain?
