Improving hip mobility and strengthening both the core and posterior chain has been beneficial with my pain in my lower back from herniated discs. Anecdotal of course, but having a rough idea where muscular pains originate from in the kinetic chain is always helpful.

I have a lot of wear and tear from my military days. Rucking and hiking specifically in boots. Whenever this pain creeps back in, I immediately change my programming back to more hip mobility and core/posterior chain strengthening. If I don’t address the problem asap, I’m gonna pay for it.
