6 Exercises You Need to Ease Your Pesky Back Pain

Wall sits are another lower-body-strengthening exercise for quads, hamstrings, glutes, and hip flexors. Once again, you need lower body strength to support your back. Though this exercise appears easy, it is very taxing.

• Stand with your back against a wall.
• Place your feet approximately two feet in front of you with your feet hip-width apart.
• Begin bending your knees and sliding your back down the wall until your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
• Press your back into the wall and hold the "sitting" position for 20-30 seconds. Increase the time as you build strength.
• Release to rest and then complete 2 more sets.
