They're great and I always fall back on the hex bar deadlifts and squats when I tweak my back. Start with the upper handles, then build up to lower, and then do deficits.

I often say this on here but spending some money on a good physio could do you wonders.

I was having a call with my old boss yesterday who is starting a company focussed on back health. He mentioned the back pain podcast which might be one for you to try?
A lot of the analysis shows that it’s really a lot about lifestyle and mentality

Back in the gym this morning for the first time in 5 years. I've lost about 4-5kgs of muscle mass that I need to put back on if I want to carry on playing tennis and kitesurfing without being crippled each time I do them. Catch is I've got a dodgy lower back now (bit of scoliosis, sciatica, etc.) so barbell deadlifts, squats and anything where I'm putting weight across the top of my back is out of the question.
Views on trap bar deadlifts? I've never done them but I've been reading a bit and seems like they are popular for people with back issues.
