Which exercises are best for alleviating back pain?

For chronic back pain, staying active and gently pushing against your physical limitations with movement is extremely important. Motion is lotion! 

There are a variety of movement types to explore. Stretching throughout the day can ease stiffness, increase range of movement, and increase flow of nutrients throughout the body. Water-based exercise offers a great full-body, low-impact workout. Walking, progressive strength training, yoga and/or Pilates are also effective exercises for reducing back pain. The most important thing is to create a routine you can stick with long-term.
