If you have lower back pain, avoid exercises that involve heavy lifting and bending forward, as they can worsen the pain.
When you have lower back pain, it's important to be careful with certain exercises. According to research, exercises that involve heavy lifting, like deadlifts, can be risky if not done properly. These exercises might help some people, but they can also make pain worse if not done correctly.
Exercises to Avoid:
It's always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider or a physical therapist to find the best exercises for you. They can help you figure out what will help and what to avoid, keeping your back safe while staying active.
