Best lower back pain relief I’ve ever experienced was using an “ab roller”.

Those wheels with handles on the axel where you kneel down and roll out in front of you.

They always advertised then as “ab” workouts but the effect is more strongly felt for me in my lower back.

Making even a light habitual practice of it had huge effects.

My lower back feels stronger than ever and if I do something that triggers pain I can “roll it out”.

I now use the roller as a source of relief.




I know more than one gym rat who got a hernia from using an ab roller.
