Back pain going from hip to foot indicates nerve compression by intervertebral disc or some pathology. Before going for exercise or physiotherapy you should be evaluated by history and clinical examination (MRI if needed) to rule out any impending nerve compression related complications like loss of sensation or muscles weakness. Consult a Pain specialist or Orthopaedician first and once complications are ruled out you can go for exercise therapy. Caution :Back exercises during pain can cause further harm and should be started only when pain is negligible.
