    OK so here it is. I have a poor back and a bit of a stoop and curved shoulders as a result of a Lumber Puncture. I've havent trained [ Weight training and arobic training] in about three and a half years. I started back Thai Boxing Tuesday. Half way thru the class my back began to ache and ache. The only way i could relive it was by either placing a pad up against the wall and placing my mid back against it or by bending over. Apparently this is due to a weak lower back. Can anyone recommend some excercies to Strenghten my lower back. Please also bare in mind i do not have access to a GYM.

    I agree swiss ball work is good , but you have an injury that needs to be healed before you get to a rehab stage.


    Do not go to Physio / Chiro , you need to go to a fully qualified Oesteopath.

    The key to having a strong lower back, is having strong stomach muscles. Its these muscles that support ur lower back. So, crunches, lots and lots of crunches. And when u notice a difference start doing leg ups. Now its important that u dont start doing leg ups now cos they can put strain on ur back.
    And u might ask where i got this info from...i got it from a chiropractor.
