The Kieser solution is:
LE & CE – the machines for back and neck pain
Our Kieser machines enable computer-assisted measurements and targeted training of the back (LE) and neck muscles (CE). Isolated loading strengthens the muscles effectively while protecting joints and discs – for safe and sustainable strengthening of the back muscles. Get stronger where we are too weak.
Back training with the Kieser Method
Long-term success against back pain
A strong back is the key to more energy and joy in life. Those who understand the causes of back pain can actively prevent it and reduce discomfort in the long term.
With strength training, you strengthen your back muscles efficiently and effectively. Just two training sessions per week of 30 minutes each are enough to improve your stability and promote a pain-free life.
The benefits of a strong back
A strong back is the best prevention and an important treatment method. The Kieser Method is based on scientific findings and offers effective training to promote back health.
Our strength training offers the following benefits:
More strength and energy in everyday life:
Whether carrying shopping bags, enjoying long walks, or staying active – a stable back makes it possible.
Prevention of back pain:
Targeted back training stabilizes the core muscles, reduces tension, and can prevent existing complaints in the long term.
Improved mobility and posture:
Trained back muscles support an upright posture and enable pain-free movement.
Balanced load distribution:
Balanced muscles help prevent poor posture and improve stability.
Effective protection of the spine:
Strong muscles relieve pressure on discs and joints, prevent wear and reduce the risk of discomfort.
Scientific figures

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.
