Did you know that hip exercises, especially those that target the gluteals, can help reduce low back pain in many cases?
In the study below, individuals with low back pain were found to benefit from a program that involved exercise and mobilization of the hips and treatment of the back rather than a program that addressed the spine only.
This relationship has been observed by many clinicians for some time now, but this is one of the first studies to demonstrate that such an approach actually has scientific merit.
This video shows the hip-biased exercises that were used in the study, which you can implement to help reduce back pain.
