Flare-up of lower back pain? Resting completely isn’t always the answer. These 3 simple exercises can help calm things down and get you moving again safely:

🔹 Prone extensions (cobra pose) – helps centralise pain away from the leg/back

🔹 Pelvic tilts – gentle, controlled movement to ease stiffness and spasm

🔹 Gentle exercise like cycling – low-impact way to keep blood flow going without loading the spine

Movement is medicine, even during a flare-up. But everyone’s back pain is different — if symptoms are severe, getting worse, or you’re not sure where to start, book in for a proper assessment rather than guessing.

Best practice for staying strong, mobile and independent as you get older:

✅ Build strength with resistance training
Think squats, step-ups, deadlifts, calf raises and functional movements that support everyday life.
✅ Look after your heart
Brisk walking, cycling, swimming or steady “Zone 2” exercise can help improve cardiovascular fitness without leaving you gasping for breath.
✅ Prioritise consistency
Small, regular sessions done well are far more powerful than occasional bursts of activity.
✅ Support your body with good nutrition
A balanced diet rich in protein, fruit, vegetables and whole grains helps support muscle, energy and recovery.
✅ Stay socially connected
Group exercise, clubs, volunteering or community activities can boost motivation, mood and overall wellbeing.

When Finn came to us, he was dealing with ongoing ankle pain that wasn’t responding to the exercises he’d already tried. Given his history of a previous lumbar stress fracture and the way his symptoms were presenting, we made the decision to manage the injury as a bone stress injury and temporarily remove hockey from the equation.

From there, the focus was on controlling load, monitoring symptoms closely, and making weekly adjustments to his rehab and strength & conditioning programme.

Working collaboratively with his S&C coach at Newcastle Uni Hockey, Rich, we gradually reintroduced running, progressed his training volume, and adapted the plan based on how his body responded each week.

The result? Finn returned to full contact training and competitive matches with confidence.

A great example of how the right diagnosis, load management and a collaborative rehab approach can get athletes back doing what they love. 💪🏑
