1.Weak muscles, caused by a lack of exercise, are the first major cause of most back pain. The body acts as a unit. The lower torso is carried by the lower back muscles as well as the abdominal muscles. Likewise, the chest muscles, shoulder muscles and upper back muscles are carrying the upper torso. It is important to strengthen and stretch the major back muscles, like the lats, traps and erector spinae as these support the spine. An exercise programme needs to strengthen not only back muscles but also muscles in the front of the torso, the abdominal muscles in particular. The abdominal muscles (often called the core muscles) help to support the spine and upper body. These are the internal and external obliques (that run down the side of your waist), the rectus abdominus, that run down the middle of your abdomen (giving you a six-pack if youre lean).
