If you have back pain, pay attention to the smallest muscles in your back.
As tiny as they are, the multifidus muscles (multifidi) are actually the strongest muscles in the back. They fill the groove on either side of the vertebrae and span three joints each, providing a scaffolding, and therefore support and stabilization for the spinal column.
Recent research has found that people suffering with back pain have a reduced ability to voluntarily recruit the multifidus muscles ...in order to maintain a neutral spine position.
In cases of lower-back pain, anticipatory contractions in these muscles have been shown to be delayed or absent.
A focused strength program will help improve the functionality of these muscles.
Below are some great exercise that will help.

Benefits of Stretching Stretching increases flexibility. Flexible muscles can improve your daily performance. Tasks such as lifting, bending, carrying shopping bags and hurrying to catch a bus become easier and less tiring. Stretching improves range of motion. A good range of motion at the joint will keep the joint healthy promoting natural lubrication of the joint. Mobility also promotes balance and you will become less prone to injury − especially as you age. Stretching... improves circulation. Stretching increases blood flow to your muscles, which in turn can speed recovery after muscular injury. Stretching improves posture. Frequent stretching allows the skeleton to sit in neutral alignment (the way it was intended). Short tight muscles draw bones closer together and force the body out of alignment, leading to lower and upper back problems, neck, shoulder and jaw pain . Stretching can relieve stress. Stretching relaxes the tense muscles that often accompany stress. Stretching can change your body shape. Stretching can literally lift the body opening out the shoulder girdle, which in turn lifts the ribcage reducing the waistline, lifting the buttocks and increasing energy levels. Stretching may help prevent injury. Increased range of motion at the joint can protect you from injury. Stretching enhances sport performance. Improved joint mobility is essential in all types of sporting activities. How To Stretch For Results Target major muscle groups. Focus on the front and back of the thighs, calves, buttocks, chest also stretch muscles that you routinely work every day. Warm up first. Cold muscles will increase your risk of injury. Take a short brisk walk and mobilize your joints first or stretch after your workout. Hold stretches for at least one minute. It takes time to lengthen tissues safely. Also, time must be allowed for correct alignment. Continually assess body alignment and learn to explore the muscle by changing leg arm or upper body position and weight applied. Don’t bounce. Bouncing as you stretch can cause small tears in the muscle. These tears leave scar tissue as the muscle heals which tightens the muscle even further – making you less flexible and more prone to pain. Focus on a pain-free stretch. Expect to feel tension while you are stretching, but not pain. You should take the stretch to the point where you feel tension and then hold it; the feeling should go away after approximately 20 seconds. However, if it increases and the leg starts to shake, back off and start the process again, but more slowly this time. Relax and breathe freely. Do not hold your breath while you are stretching. Results will be far greater if you increase the stretch towards the end of the out-breath. Learn some basic anatomy. Understand where the muscle you are stretching starts (origin) and where it finishes (insertion), and learn how to move these two points away from each other.

A trigger point is a small, painful, hard knot within a muscle.In a healthy muscle, all the fibers are long and even, however, a trigger point causes an unhealthy contraction, so that some of those fibers twist into a knot. When a knot appears in a muscle, it causes pain for two reasons. First, the muscle loses access to the nutrients in the blood, and second, without healthycirculation passing through, toxins tend to build up in the contracted area. The muscle typically shor...tens, as well, and will often restrict the range of motion and flexibility in the affected area. Once you have a trigger point, or several of them, you will no doubt alter the way you move, sit, or stand to instinctively protect yourself. At the same time, the muscle is contracting to protect itself. Unfortunately, all this makes the problem worse, your body begins to adopt poor postures that tighten other muscles, leading to additional or worsening existing muscle imbalances. This is one reason why some people have both nervebased back pain caused by muscle imbalances and tissue-based back pain caused by a knot or trigger point within a single muscle.
