Resistance Training for Low Back Pain

One of our brilliant colleagues, connected to us through the Movement Science Made Simple community, is Dana Ciccone. Her latest newsletter chronicles the most recent pain science and movement science regarding nonspecific chronic low back pain, and what types of exercise can be really beneficial for managing it. A quote from the study states, “The results of our study indicated that, with moderate evidence, resistance training is an effective intervention for improving pain intensity, quality of life, and disability in patients with CNSLBP compared with aerobic exercise and usual care, with no difference compared to combined therapy. In addition, resistance training has been shown to produce clinically relevant improvements in pain intensity…Moreover, disability improved significantly in all comparisons, which demonstrates the importance of improving muscle strength not only in patients with CNSLBP, but also in those with all musculoskeletal disorders.” I encourage you to read through her full article for more information. It’s such reassuring news for such a common ailment. https://view.flodesk.com/emails/6911edd084d354e695c9f072
