So if you're at home and you've reduced mobility, even just sit to stand for somebody who might be very limited and trying to do maybe 10 of those three times a day.

So really small bite sized chunks.

And then if you're a gym goer, if you're more active, deadlifts are brilliant.

So what we would call posterior chain exercises.

So exercises that get the back of your legs, your hips and your lower back.

Strengthening your back.

Yeah, so like what the research will tell us is that they're not effective as the only strategy for long-term pain.

And that's because they're not addressing the root of the pain.

And so they'll give you a window, but that window needs to be a window of opportunity that you engage in

maybe deep breathing exercises, maybe pacing, maybe going for a walk, maybe starting an exercise class, maybe sleeping more, reducing your stress.

So it has to be taken as an opportunity as opposed to as a solution in itself.
