What are the best exercises for lower back pain?

Response:
The McGill Big 3 are generally the best exercises to help alleviate and improve lower back pain symptoms.  The 3 exercises focus on core bracing and core stability which help the back pained individual keep a neutral spine posture, even while bearing load. The three exercises are 1) the modified curl-up, 2) the bird dog, and 3) side planks.
