Preventive exercises
Largely preventable that is what a back injury is, and, if you catch it early, before it develops into something more problematic, easy to cure too. The unique thing about back pain is we don’t always know which particular structure [is injured], like when you rupture an ACL in your knee we can clearly diagnose that particular ligament and attack that part of the injury. With lower backs it can be a little more difficult to pinpoint the tissue that’s causing the problem: ligaments, discs, bone, muscle, tendons â�� all those things can cause back pain. Preventive exercises are typically not exercises people do in a gym.
