Additional Exercises For Pain Relief

These exercises are a great start for your improvement plan and can definitely help provide you with virtually instant relief from the pain of a herniated disc.  But, you should also consider some other types of exercises and movements that can provide you with improved mobility and overall fitness goals that you may have.

Water Exercises

One of the best ways for you to work on your back is actually in the water.  Swimming, running in the water and doing other activities there can help to strengthen the muscles located there without causing you any discomfort or pain in the process.

You do not have to do anything fancy here.  For a great way to increase your lower abdominal strength and to decrease pain here, simply walk in waist deep water.  Turn from side to side as you walk to feel your muscles relaxing.  This is also a good exercise for overall fitness.
