Strengthen Your Back
After an a lower back pain incident, bending forward can be an aggravating movement.
When getting back into training, you can indirectly target the back through movements without bending forward.
Give these ago if you are wanting to get back into training or need a starting point.
Remember to start slow, light and build up your tolerance over time.

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
