Traditional medicine & societal norms have led us to believe this — however your lower back has layers upon layers of connective tissue, muscles, and fascia all supporting the great deal of motion your spine was designed to do. Nearly every person can benefit from som sort of to strengthening the erectors, hamstrings, and glutes — referred to as the posterior chain. These muscles make up the powerhouse of the body to propel us through life and allow us to do super cool stuff. Some of my favorite exercises for lower back resilience are the back extensions, deadlifts and good mornings — all ones featured in this post! Other favorites include bent over rows, hip thrusts, glute bridges, RDLs, and various loaded movements into spinal flexion, side bending, and rotation. And, let me tell you, my posterior chain is STRONG. However, if you currently have back pain or issues, you should seek guidance from a strength and evidence-based rehab professional to come up with a plan tailored to you. How strong is your lower back? What are your favorite exercises? Lmk in the comments!
