Frequently Asked Questions

What is back training at Kieser?

The back training programme at Kieser is a medically-based strength training programme designed to specifically strengthen the back and neck muscles. The aim is to prevent back pain or reduce existing symptoms by systematically building up the deep stabilising muscles.

Does Kieser back training help with back pain?

Yes. This back training programme is specifically designed to relieve back pain and address its causes. By specifically strengthening the deep back muscles, it takes the strain off the spine, corrects poor posture and reduces muscular imbalances.

How does the back training programme at Kieser work?

Training is carried out on specially designed machines such as the lumbal extension (LE) and cervical extension (CE) machines. These machines specifically isolate the back and neck muscles, allowing them to be trained without the support of other muscle groups. This results in particularly efficient and safe muscle strengthening.

Who is Kieser’s back training programme suitable for?

This back training programme is suitable for people with acute or chronic back pain, for those with sedentary jobs, and for anyone who wishes to specifically strengthen their spine. It is also suitable for preventative purposes for people of almost any age.

How often should you do back exercises?

It is generally recommended to do two training sessions per week, each lasting around 30 minutes. The first measurable gains in strength usually occur after 12 to 18 training sessions; after that, one maintenance session per month, combined with regular training, is often sufficient.

Why is targeted back training more important than general fitness training?

General fitness training often targets large muscle groups, whilst the deep back muscles frequently remain under-trained. Kieser back training specifically targets these stabilising muscles, which are crucial for spinal health.

How quickly do the back exercises at Kieser start to work?

The first noticeable improvements often occur after just a few weeks. Scientifically proven gains in strength typically become apparent after 12 to 18 sessions. The long-term benefits result from continuous training and adjusting the intensity of the workout.

What equipment is used for back training?

The key pieces of equipment are the LE (lumbal extension) and CE (cervical extension) machines. They enable isolated exercise of the back extensors and neck muscles whilst ensuring a high level of safety and controlled movement.

Is back training at Kieser safe?

Yes. The training is particularly safe thanks to guided machines, individual weight adjustments and supervision by instructors. The movements are controlled, which significantly reduces the risk of incorrect strain.

Can back exercises prevent back pain in the long term?

Yes. By specifically strengthening the deep back muscles, the spine is stabilised and the strain on it is reduced. This can help prevent back pain in the long term, improve posture and significantly increase your ability to cope with the demands of everyday life.
