Yes. I had thirty years of back pain. Then I reached an age where ones muscles naturally atrophy and I was really in trouble. But after four years of back exercises, weight lifting and core exercises the pain is almost entirely gone. My back feels better than it ever has. One weird thing was that it sometimes took me a couple of years to realise I was doing an exercise wrong. But I don't think I was initially capable of doing the exercise correctly. I literally didn't have the muscles, and it took a couple of years of wonky exercises to start developing them. If, like me, you're an older geek with little sympathy for your body, it takes a long time to develop it. But it's worth the effort.
