This is going to be a two part post the discusses one of the more common ailments that the general public will experience at some point in their life. Working in the outpatient physical therapy world, I personally will see/work with multiple patients throughout the year that have either chronic or acute low back pain. (Chronic refers to pain that you have experienced for many weeks/months/years, whereas acute is a more recent injury)

These two posts will be more geared toward chronic issues, but can also hit on the acute symptoms you might see.
Part One will discuss common characteristics I see in patient's with chronic low back pain. Part Two will go into detail on a couple different exercises you can try at home to see if your symptoms decrease/resolve.
