Yes. Incorporating simple, low-impact exercises, such as walking, into your daily routine may help alleviate facet joint pain when done in moderation, meaning not overexerting yourself and only walking short distances. Taking short walks on a regular basis can help offset the pain and stiffness typically experienced from extended periods of inactivity, like sitting in an office chair, driving a car, or after waking up in the morning. Walking also improves strength and flexibility in the lower back.
