“Back loading during back pain? Absolutely ✅”
⠀
When the low back flares up, it’s tempting to avoid loading altogether — but smart, graded loading is actually one of the best ways to calm symptoms and rebuild capacity. Your back is made to handle load — and like any other muscle group, it needs to stay loaded to maintain its resiliency and durability over time 💪
⠀
Here are some exercises to start loading your back with intent 👇
⠀
1️⃣ Isometric deadlift using J-hooks – exposure to tension without motion.
2️⃣ Isometric deadlift with bench + dowel – reinforces hip hinge pattern isometric in a taller position
3️⃣ Seated good mornings – introduces controlled movement through range without weight bearing.
4️⃣ Tall-kneel hip hinge into banded resistance – integrates hip drive and spinal control under dynamic load.
⠀
These exercises help reduce irritability, restore confidence, and gradually reintroduce your back to tolerating load again — setting you up for that full return to your back/pull days.
