Back Pain Relief Part 3: Planks for a Stronger, Happier Back (Perfect for 55+)

Back Pain Relief Part 3: Side Planks for a Stronger, Happier Back (Perfect for 55+)

Lower back pain doesn't have to be a normal part of your day.

If you're an active adult 55+, and you're looking for a simple, low-impact way to strengthen your core and support your spine—this is it.

In Part 3 of our Back Pain Relief Series, we're introducing you to a game-changing move: the side plank.

But don’t worry—we’re not talking about the kind you see in intense fitness classes. This version is gentle, effective, and designed just for you, with options using a wall, a bench, or a mat.

✅ Why Side Planks?

Side planks target your obliques, which are key players in core stability. When your core is strong, your spine is better supported—which can lead to less tension and pain in your back.

Plus, it helps improve posture, balance, and functional strength—so daily movements feel easier.

💡 Modifications You’ll Love

Whether you're just starting out or already active, these variations meet you where you're at:

  • Wall Side Plank: Perfect for beginners who want to start upright and feel supported.

  • Bench Side Plank: A mid-level option for controlled strength building.

  • Mat Side Plank: For those ready to go a bit deeper with form and control.

🎥 Watch the Video Above

We’ve put together a quick, easy-to-follow demo video showing each variation step-by-step, so you can feel confident and safe trying it at home or in the gym.


Feeling better starts with one small move. Let today be the day you start supporting your spine and reclaiming your comfort.
