But the upside is too large to ignore. If you are feeling stiff and sore now, imagine how the problems will compound over the next 5, 10 and 20 years, right now is the best vantage point you are going to have. Hence, step one of your new exercise plan: being honest with yourself. Whatever state your back is in now, it’s not going to get any better unless you take action today. 

Step two is laying down the incentive:

• Back pain makes your life harder in the here and now
• A weak back leaves you vulnerable to injury in the future 
• Back pain contributes to missed work time and disability
• Back pain is expensive

Start exercising to beat back pain

You have a clear goal; you have enough incentive. How do we translate these two things into action? It is up to you to take the first step. But exercise is therapy, and once you get a taste for how good your back can feel from simple movements, it will be hard to live without. At our office in Houston, we can show you simple movements to be performed in any setting, at any time of day which will release tight back muscles, strengthen the postural and phasic muscles of the core and set you on your way toward back pain relief.
