Even the pushup uses lower back muscles, like any plank.

I'm currently seeing a physiotherapist once a week for lower back pains, which were directly related to lack of lower back strength and flexibility. Most of the exercises I'm given to do at home (which are doable at home AND have low probability of injuring myself because of bad form) don't require any weight.

Exercises are mostly core strength ones, meaning plank and related ones.

I see a lot of advice about deadlifting and other exercises weights, and I'm wondering just how many people injure themselves. Sure, with proper form those are going to be good, but it's also easy to injure yourself because of bad form if you don't have a trainer.

Research McGill and McKenzie and you'll almost certainly be able to fix your lower back pain.

The classes I've taken all focus around strengthening the core muscles in the lower back area.

Thanks.
