Do exercises that isolate each side - example, don't do lat pull-downs or rowing machine...this allows the strong side to compensate for the weak side.  Do exercises that require each side of the back to do its own work, and do equal weights/reps.  Eventually the weak side will catch up.

First check with a REAL honest to goodness Doctor to determine if you are clear to exercise this region.\nThen go for the same great ab exercise that everyone else does - leg lifts, crunches (there are about 6 kinds), etc.\n\nBut, and this is a big butt (heh), be sure to compliment with good back exercises. If you develop the front without compensatory back exercises, then your body will suffer. Your overdeveloped front will draw your back out of alignment and you will look wrong and feel bad.\n\nSo concentrate on the front but compliment with overall body toning. Post C-section I'd recommend yoga (which is pretty much systematic stretches and toning) and/or swimming and stretching (if you don't go for the yoga).

My advice:\n\n1.   At night, sleep on your side, legs slightly bent, with a thin pillow between your knees.  This will reduce the presure on your spine as you sleep.\n\n2.  Stretch your back several times a day.  A good one is lay flat on your back, rotate your trunk, with your left leg straight and your right leg bent, try to touch your right knee to the ground to your left. Then straighten your right leg, bend your left leg, rotate your trunk, try to touch your left knee to the ground to your right.  Another good one is when sitting, reach your right hand behind your head, and touch your left shoulder blade, then reach your left hand behind your head and try to touch your right should blade.\n\n3.  If your a student, you should have access to the campus health club.  Join, and ask to be shown stretches and exercises specifically for your back (explain that you've had some back issues).

NO not if you have injuries in your back, spine etc... you'd need to ensure if you have injuries that any exercises are altered.

You might have a pinched nerve in your hip or back or something. Try doing some stretching exercises or see a phisio to crack your back back into place.

Exercises:\n#1 best- Good Mornings. Stand up straight, feet shoulder width apart, hold light weight. Keep legs straight and bend over, raise back up and repeat.\n\n2- Back extensions. Position yourself on a Swiss Ball or roman workout chair. Bend over and then raise back up until body is parallel to floor.\n\nThese will strenghthen your back and develope the muscle. Even though your "thin", thats still fat so you need to do cardio and eat healthy.

Check with a doctor. Pilates exercises are great for posture but you also spend a lot of time on your back. I would definitely stay away from the stretches where you curl up into a ball and roll along your entire vertebrae (unless of course doc says its ok).

I have the same in the lower back following a car accident last year. Found great relief with my Physical Therapist at northstarpilates.com. Maybe there is a similar option near you? I highly recommend it. The exercises are easy and research backs it up, it works! Only a few short months ago, I thought I would be crippled for life. Now, I can hike, garden, most everything as before with minimal pain.\n\nI did find that yoga aggravated the problem.\n\nGood luck-

the best is Hyperextensions (Back Extensions) I do is almost everyday and already feel my back stronger and stronger....\n\nTips: Lie face down on a hyperextension bench, tucking your ankles securely under the footpads. Adjust the upper pad if possible so your upper thighs lie flat across the wide pad, leaving enough room for you to bend at the waist without any restriction. Start with your body in a straight line. Cross your arms in front of you or behind your head. You can also hold a weight for extra resistance. Slowly bend forward at the waist as far as you can while keeping your back FLAT. Do not round your back. Slowly raise your torso until your legs and upper body are in a straight line again. Do NOT arch your back past a straight line!

First of all there are no exercises which will effectively decrease the curvature of your spine, or prevent it from getting worse.  All you can do is to strengthen the trunk muscles that support the spine.\n\nAs a physical therapist who has treated many back patients and a good amount of scoliosis patients (as well as having scoliosis myself) I would recommend that you do lumbar stability exercises.  I've attached a link to a good site with a few good stability exercises to get you started.  As you progress you might also want to consider doing pilates or yoga, both of which will help to strengthen your back muscles.

you will want to focus on your obliques. use 5lb weights and with your feet shoulder length apart, and one arm on your waist, reach up to the ceiling with the other and go left and straight. do it on both sides
