Back Pain
How Does Physiotherapy Help for Back Pain?
Back pain has become one of the most common symptoms that a patient visits a physiotherapist or a General Practitioner. We are seeing an increase in incidents of back pain, not only with patients who are more sedentary but also with patients who live an active lifestyle.
Our physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify weak or stiff structures. Treatment involves passive therapy to loosen stiff joints and muscles, alongside active techniques to enhance strength and flexibility in the surrounding muscles. Consistent exercise routines can help alleviate future pain severity.
Lower back pain is highly debilitating, often radiating to the buttocks and hip. Physiotherapy is crucial for recovery, incorporating guided therapeutic exercises to strengthen muscles and condition spinal tissues and joints.
Physical therapy for back pain aims to achieve several objectives, both immediate and ongoing:
Alleviate painful symptoms in the lower back and/or leg.
Enhance low back function to facilitate independent daily activities.
Improve spine flexibility and increase range of motion.
