Introduction
Is your low back pain keeping you from playing soccer ? ...

Chronic Low back pain is one of the most frequent causes of pain in Soccer Players.
There are many reason why you may have developed pain in your lumbar spine: core weakness, tight hip flexors, weak gluteal muscles, Disc herniations or bulging discs.
Regardless of the cause of back pain, a mandatory requirement for people with this condition is to have a Strong Core or Ring of Muscles.
Side Planks
On previous post about low back pain, we stated that the core is a ring of muscles that wraps the spine to protect it for excessive wearing and tear.
We even related core weakness to Chronic Low Back pain and we went further saying that a strong core should be your end goal when recovering or suffering from back pain and we showed you simple exercises to improve the FRONT of the core musculature.
Today we will focus on the sides of the core and nothing better than SIDE PLANKS to strengthen these important muscles. These exercises will challenge your side core components like gluteus medius, Quadratus Lumbarum and your abdominal wall.
These are two variations of the same exercises, Plank on Knees and Plank on Elbow.
