Lower back pain is one of the most common causes of discomfort and reduced mobility in daily life. Long hours of sitting, poor posture, limited activity, and everyday strain can all contribute to stiffness and pain in the lower back.
Physiotherapy focuses on gentle, targeted movement to improve flexibility, strength, and support around the spine. Below are five commonly recommended physiotherapy exercises that may help relieve lower back discomfort and support better movement over time.
When to Seek Professional Support
If lower back pain is ongoing, worsening, or affecting daily activities, a tailored assessment can help identify the right approach for your needs. A care professional can guide you with exercises suited to your condition, ability level, and recovery goals.
