hmmm... this thread was started some time ago, but I too am suffering with lower back pain.It's worse in the morning but better by the afternoon. I also don't notice or feel it if I run, it's afterwards the next day that I feel it.I don't suppose anyone has suggestions for specific exercises for the lower back?

I suffer from lower back pain when I run outside and then for a day or so afterwards. It's just niggly and although I still manage to do pretty good times, it definitely does hold me back, any thoughts?

I am just recovering from a lower back injury and the physio advised me that this is a common problem for runners and cyclists.Lack of specific back exercises (strengthening and stretching) is the problem.Solution? More exercises.

Strengthening the core muscles helps the lower back, quisquam. That's cos these (mainly abdominal) muscles actually 'splint' the back. Hence the sugestions re Pilates and the swiss ball.Other than that, go and see a sports fizz and ask then to give you exercises to help your specific problem.I manage my 'normal' back pain by keeping active and using my swiss ball as a computer chair but am currently having to do specific exercises to help a sacro-iliac problem.Good luck!
