Translated from spanish Improve translation
Physical activity is recommended for all persons provided that it is individualized and personalized by a professional.
Isometric exercises can be a great help both in stabilization and in the back pain, improving even more if it is accompanied by electro soft (always without causing muscle fatigue and excessive tiredness).
The strength exercises with ranges of motion complete (intensity progressively, always starting with autocargas and not with weights or external) that will help us to maintain a good quality of life, and will prevent you loosing mobility in the extremities.
If these exercises are done in a group, they will improve the inclusion of the affected, in addition to take advantage of all the characteristics of the physical activity such as the release of endorphins (the feeling of well-being), improve the quality of life (through improved strength and endurance), improved self-perception, etc
