Why Poor Rotational Strength Contributes to Low Back Pain in Active Adults

Low back pain in active adults is often blamed on the back itself, but the real issue is usually poor rotational strength. When the hips and mid-back cannot rotate efficiently, the lower back is forced to compensate, leading to tightness, irritation, and recurring discomfort. By improving thoracic mobility, hip rotation, and core anti-rotation strength, you can reduce strain on your spine, move more efficiently, and get back to activities like golf, tennis, and running with less pain and better performance.
