Low back Pain is very complex and we need to know the diagnosis first before starting any exercises.
As a physical Therapist I recommend to Pay attention to your posture: Avoid flexed postures for now (sit up straight).
Make sure you are not leaning to one side more than another.
During the painful phase, spend time lying on your stomach, if lying on your stomach is too difficult, place a pillow under your hips until you can tolerate lying flat on your stomach.
For now, keep your spine in a neutral position (maintain the natural curve in your low back) during all activities, especially getting in and out of your car or going from sitting to standing. As your tissues heal, you can slowly return to normal movements, especially with minor tips for optimal movement from your physical therapist.
Utilize the abdominal bracing technique that your physical therapist explained in all transitional movements temporarily to provide extra support in the early phases of healing. You may decrease emphasis on abdominal bracing as you learn new movement strategies from your therapist that will help prevent a recurrence.
All these exercises is ideal for patients with disc Herniation but you have to consult with your Doctors/ PT first before starting any Exercise program.
