I got a Pilates personal trainer and am trying acupuncture.
I’m not sure how much the acupuncture is helping but the pilates personal trainer has done wonders. She’s helped to improve my posture and has really focused on increasing my lower abdominal strength which helps ease the lower back pain. She has done more than any physical therapist or chiropractor. If traditional methods aren’t working for you I would definitely recommend trying this as an option.

Ok, I don’t actually want to do this one, but I think it might be good for me.
You can really see the results!

I lucked out and found someone who was training to be a pilates instructor. She needed to complete 150 hours of personal training to complete her program, so I got a ton of free sessions!
I never would have paid a personal trainer but now I am hooked! Having someone to correct your every move is incredibly helpful. I’v always gone to the gym, but now my gym trips seem to actually show some real results!
She’s also helped to reduce my back and neck pain, by showing me what I’m doing wrong and constantly correcting my posture and working my abs.
