I have a history of back pain due to scoliosis. After years of pain with no end in sight, I started exercising for reasons other than my back. A personal trainer told me that by strengthening my back, I could have less pain. I did not believe him at first, but I thought it was worth a shot. I started out at physical therapy then continued with tougher strength training and core training at the gym. The exercise has helped me tremendously. If only I had known to do this sooner! So now I want to spread this information to share with others experiencing back pain.
