How it works

Deep core muscles provide spinal stability and reduce load on passive structures (discs, ligaments, facet joints) that are common sources of pain.

Allow the acute pain phase to settle (2–3 weeks) before starting heavy strengthening. Work with a physiotherapist initially to learn correct technique.

Why strong evidence

Exercise therapy, particularly core stabilisation, significantly reduces recurrence and long-term disability. More effective than passive treatments for chronic low back pain.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
