Core building exercises

[Bouncer]

say its better than recommending getting a fucking theraputic massage?

i had scar tissue built up in my traps that were causing pain in that area. my doc recommended deep tissue message. it hurt like hell but let me tell ya, it worked.

I've had some pretty bad lower back pain before myself but the best thing that's ever worked for me is stretching - from what my physical therapist told me a LOT of what I was experiencing in regards to pain in my spine was coming from the fact that my back muscles were SO da*n tight that it was literally compressing things to the point that I thought the pain in my spine was an injury when in fact most all of it was just a matter of adding too much muscle too fast and never doing anything to keep from binding up...

deep tissue massage is definately good and I use it regularly for stiff or problem areas. In terms of core movements, I found leg raises really helped my stability and stopped the back problems I had at the time, just be careful not to jerk your legs up and I find it more intense to do them from lying on yuour back on a bench or incline sit up bench.

Other than that any excercise that requires balance will use your core, adding light lunges to your thigh training helps me. Also for your abs, at the end of the workout try adopting a pressup positio and holding it for 3 x 30 seconds, and if there is a ball even better try with your feet up on it and the your forearms up on it. Hyper extensions also good

try doing the bridge. lay face down, placeing your elbows under your shoulders, and toes on the floor. HOld the position. YOu should be able to do it for at least a minute. Try to aim for two
