Yeah i’ve eased up this week and doing of stretching and yoga like exercises I’ve seen from the internet.At the risk of telling you something you may already know; I had a prolapsed a disc in my lower back in my mid-20s. I got over it by losing weight slowly and concentrating on flexibility and swimming. So some yoga, easy walks on soft surfaces and swimming laps followed by a sauna/spa. Clean living helped out a fair bit too.
But yeah, sure you've heard a lot of it before, but just slow and steady may do the trick.
Haven’t gone the gym yet as I was building up to it. Personally bit worried about gym cause they found something on my spine (unrelated and not serious if not aggravated) and was warned about lifting heavy stuffI found squats and deadlifts (with correct form) have alleviated a lot of lower back pain for me.
