Core strengthening exercises - These are specific exercises to strengthen the abdominal muscles and low back muscles (erector spinae) to provide the aforementioned'belt of muscle' around the spine. These exercises typically include:
Specific abdominal strengthening, such as sit-ups, crunches, abdominal machines, and leg raises.

  • Low back exercises (hyperextensions), which can be performed on machines or by simply lying on the stomach and slowly raising the chest off the ground. This exercise utilizes the lower back muscles to'hyperextend' the spine.
  • 'good-mornings' are also an exercise to strengthen the lower back muscles. This exercise requires the patient to stand with legs straight and shoulder width apart, with a broom-stick or weighted bar across the shoulders. The patient then slowly bends forward until the face is parallel to the floor and then raises back up. Very similar to just bending to touch the toes except there is weight across the shoulders
