What is Non-Specific Lower Back Pain?
As the name suggests, non-specific lower back pain (NSLBP) is lower back pain which is not caused by any precise pathology. This means that pain is not able to be attributed to a diagnosable cause, such as a fracture, arthritis or a bulging disc. This type of back pain can be influenced by a combination of muscular imbalances and lifestyle factors, both of which are able to be addressed with exercise.

A personalised exercise program could involve a combination of strengthening exercises and mobility techniques along with addressing other lifestyle factors that are contributing to pain.
