🏋️♀️ Strength training for chronic back pain? Science says yes!
A newly released meta-analysis found 10 RCT studies (strong research) that showed resistance training significantly reduces pain and improves function in people with chronic low back pain — even more than usual care or aerobic exercise.
The key? Structured, progressive strength programs done 2–3 times a week for at least 12 weeks.
Building strength isn’t just for the gym — it’s one of the best ways to manage long-term back pain. 💪
