Pain, whether in the back, neck, shoulders or legs, is often aggravated by weak muscles. Muscle-strengthening exercises can help relieve pain by supporting your muscles, improving your posture and reducing pressure on joints and nerves. Performing the right exercises regularly can improve your mobility and help prevent chronic pain. Here are some effective muscle-strengthening exercises that can relieve pain. More info...
1. Plank for the core and back

- Lie on your stomach and support your body on your forearms and toes.
- Keep your back straight and tighten your abdominal muscles.
- Hold this position for 20-30 seconds and work toward a longer time.
-
Why it works: A strong core reduces back strain and helps prevent lower back pain.
2. Bridge for the lower back and hips
This exercise strengthens the glutes and muscles in the lower back, which can help relieve back and hip pain.

How do you do it?
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
- Push your hips up while tightening your glutes.
- Hold this position for 5-10 seconds and slowly lower.
